Learn Dota 2 - 1k MMR Replay coaching request by KrypticDefiler (Anti-Mage)


1k MMR Replay coaching request by KrypticDefiler (Anti-Mage)

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 03:33 PM PST

Hi guys As usual time to open the discussion. I picked this match because it was a great opportunity to discuss how a small cheap item, in this case quelling blade, can make such a huge impact if gotten early. The Anti-Mage in the video last hit exceptionally well with a quelling blade but got almost nothing without it. It was after 6 min before he finally got one delivered on the courier. This puts his farm back by at least 6 min, possibly more. Looking at the game I wouldn't have been surprised with a 10 min battle fury if he had only had a quelling from the start. He didn't get it until 20 min. Just to be clear my point isnt that a fast battlefury is better. My point is that getting the right item at the right time can get you there so much faster. This player also farmed exceptionally well AFTER getting the battle fury, much better than most players at this skill level, meaning the much earlier timing would have made a huge impact for this MMR.

The second point I wanted to show off in this video is how to handle axe in lane. He's spammed a lot at this skill level and many players get completely rolled over by him.

Also side note, I have included the beta version of an into I'm working on. Would Appreciate your thoughts on it.

How viable is Gyrocopter these days (low MMR ~1k)

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 02:07 PM PST

So a couple weeks ago I made a thread asking which rarely-seen heroes you can abuse in low MMR because nobody knows how they work. (thank you for the excellent responses btw, been having a lot of fun with them)

I don't think Gayrocopter came up in that thread, but he's another one that I face about once a month but seems strong when I do. I know he was total dumpster tier not long ago, so wondering what changed and if he's a reasonable pick these days.

He doesn't LOOK that complicated except maybe for low mobility and seems like he could be fun. Just wondering if anyone more experienced has any thoughts on Gyro in the current meta.

by the way, from all the suggestions in the other thread, it turned out:

Underlord - absolute porn star at this level, part of my regular rotation in ranked now

Elder Titan - one of those heroes that I seem to just suck at no matter what I do

Oracle - fun, but still not ballsy enough to try him in real games

Morph - same, only wondering if I should still bother thanks to the recent nerf

How does MMR work now?

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 11:44 AM PST

I know medals are publicly visible to everyone now. Is that the case for the literal number MMR as well? Or is that only visible to you? If that's the case, then how come OpenDota can track my MMR?

Also bonus question: Does orb of venom stack with the caustic finale slow?

Moo says to skip blink as a first item on SK - does this apply to pos 4s?

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 04:05 PM PST

During the Summit, Moo recommended getting items like Urn or Drums before getting blink. He argued that if you only have blink, you just stun and die. Moo plays the hero as a 3/offlane. I typically play SK as a 4. Does this apply roaming SKs?

Feels like I'm getting worked over and over again by Midas Invoker mid, help please?

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 06:20 PM PST

I've been playing mid a lot lately and I can't seem to figure this 1v1 out. It seems like no matter what I do, even when I'm up significantly in lane, I lose to the mid invoker and their 10 minute midas. If I'm winning lane and leave to rotate, that just means a faster midas and kills. If I stay in lane to try and deny them farm, they're able to sunstrike other lanes and I can't help my teammates out. What can I do to counter this?

Tips for last hitting with low damage/bad animations?

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 07:02 PM PST

I know the real key is practice, practice, practice, but I'd like to try playing SF (who starts with low damage; Obviously Raze + Necromastery makes it easier) and Arc Warden (who has a really bad animation), so just curious if there's anything to help make it easier when laning against say, a Puck.

Phase boots + Drums - Offlane Trends?

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 12:06 PM PST

Recently I have been playing (almost) strictly Offlane for the past few weeks. I have been spamming Tide, Underlord, and Omniknight.

Almost every game I build arcane boots, and build into mek/greaves on all of these heroes. However watching the pro games this patch a lot of the offlaners are building phase boots/drums on these heroes.

I have tried the build a couple of times, mostly on omni, and it's fun but I just feel the utility of mek/greaves in the midgame outweighs the lane domination the early phase help with.

Am I missing something about this build? Am I over-valuing mek/greaves?

How do you win when the other team is better than you?

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 05:29 PM PST

Some games the enemy picks a better draft, they CS better than me, have better game sense and mechanics. How do you deal with this type of opponent?

how to counter hurrican pike rush

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 02:28 PM PST

i feel like this item is striaght up broken now and theres at least 2-3 of them in every game i play. if i see an enemy core rushing one how do i punish? it feels really hopeless because i either leave them and take map control and they get lance boots at 9 mins or i contest farm and they just buy the ogre axe first and their survivability at 6mins goes way way up.

What am I doing wrong?

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 07:15 PM PST

I feel like I'm making 0 impact in my games. Even in my most recent game I still struggled to find farm and to do anything.

Supports which will help climb in high 2k?

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 06:24 AM PST

Hey guys, I'm archon 2 right now, 2.6k MMR. I play support , because everybody wants to play core in my MMR. I've been having difficult climbing in MMR playing a sacrifical pos 5, though I do try to get xp and farm from a 'free' lane when my carry is jungling.. This is not working so well for me in terms of MMR.

My 4.3k friend keeps telling me to spam Lion as he believes disables are the strongest thing supports offer. I would like more suggestions regarding the approach I should take..

Other suggestions such as item builds are also welcome.

1k MMR Replay coaching request by AudunLEO (Death Prophet)

Posted: 21 Dec 2017 02:59 AM PST

Hi guys As usual time to open the discussion. I picked this match because it was a good opportunity to discuss early game advantage with an early power curve so extremely in Radiant favour. I also picked it because the laning phase had some great examples of just picking teh wrong time to trade, in one case seeing the Death Prophet almost die taking almost entirely creep damage from a double creep wave.

I feel I should have discussed item builds more in this video, but for the low MMR coaching series I want to keep the focus short in each video so if theres any Death Prophet spammers reading this please jump in with your thoughts.

Learning Earth Spirit, who should I watch/what should I learn?

Posted: 20 Dec 2017 10:39 PM PST

I'm trying to add Earth Spirit to my hero pool. I know he's one of the more difficult heroes in dota, but are there any players I should watch and learn from in particular? I know Jerax is good to watch, but I don't know many others. Also, in general what do I need to know about the hero? Thanks your help everyone.

Can someone explain why everyone is saying Morphling got nerfed into trash tier status?

Posted: 20 Dec 2017 09:12 PM PST

It feels like people are saying he's a dead hero now, and I don't really see the way he got nerfed.
