Tips on "unusual" mid heroes

Posted: 19 Dec 2017 09:05 AM PST

Hello,

So, I'm trying to focus on playing mid and a lot of times i feel forced to get some weird heroes mid for more cc or more dmg, the thing is that I don't do very well in the laning phase, I get good cs against most heroes but not against sf or tinker or even qop, im finding it very hard to lane against those heroes, tips please ?

Also, I want to know what im i to do as a mid dp or a mid razor.

Much appreciated

How do you farm with earth spirit?

Posted: 19 Dec 2017 10:38 AM PST

Hi,

I recently came back to playing dota from a long break. Earth Spirit has historically been one of my best heroes with a 62% win rate.

I play him almost always as a roaming 4. What I can't seem to figure out is how to farm with him if the game slows down in the midgame. Seems like he doesnt have the mana or damage to effectively farm the jungle and lanes are usually taken by cores, so I'm left doing nothing and falling behind.

I'm used to playing earthshaker and just farming hard and transitioning to the lategame if the midgame is slow. I can't seem to figure out how to do the same with earth spirit.

Is this just a weakness of the hero or am I doing something wrong? Would it maybe be worth getting the +40 dmg talent to farm with over the 10 int?

Trying to figure out how to stay relevant in games with not a lot of action in the middle. Thanks!

Suggestion for improvement of Captain's Mode

Posted: 19 Dec 2017 11:49 AM PST

Stuck at 3500-3600. Need advice/pointers/strategies, please. (Be as harsh as you want)

Posted: 19 Dec 2017 11:23 AM PST

Hi all. Hope you are well. I've been stuck at 3500 forever...(when I say forever I mean since it came out. I smurfed once to 4400 when it used to have the 5000 cap but I fell quickly back to 3500)

I think I farm fairly well but I struggle to know how to deal with my own team's movements. Especially in 3k where the decision making is bad and I get flamed for following through with their bad decisions. As you can see, when I played normal (non ranked games) I often performed much better because I could trust the callouts my team was making.

It seems like whenever I try to split push, I get ganked by 4 people while my team applies no pressure on the map. So instead of doing what a crazy person does, I just end up jungling a lot. This seems to work since I end up with high GPM (last for example I lost with 600+GPM). But I feel like I am always at the mercy of my teammates to take objectives at the right time. This seems to be a huge issue. I constantly see my team taking fights I can't get to in time. In higher mmr, this works out--because they know their capabilities--they can hold out long enough for me to start ratting for example...

My team often wants me to fight with them and push with them when I only have a battlefury. They threaten to report me if I don't push with them. And then I end up getting low GPM and dieing, essentially throwing the game just to avoid getting reported. If I ignore them and tell them not to push (politely) they will ignore me and go anyways. I never know what to do in these situations.

My laning seems strong since I pretty much always end up freezing the lane by my tower and getting 12-15 min BF. I am playing only jugg so as to eliminate variables that are causing me to lose. Trust me, on my other account I tried playing counterpick game and I ended up doing worse. I know for a fact I am not losing because of spamming one hero. I know this because I used to use dotapicker.com to choose my carry (and I know how to play all carries besides morph and LD)

So there is clearly something wrong with either my game sense or my decision making. I think my mechanics are fine. All advice greatly appreciated. TY.

Panda drunken brawler skill is OP

Posted: 18 Dec 2017 06:32 PM PST

Can someone explain to me how in the world isn't that skill nerfed? At level 1 it has 70% miss chance for extremely low mana and 2.5 sec cd. And guess what? At level 4 it has a downtime of 0.5 sec while panda has innate evasion skill. How can anyone deal with that? If there is a duo offlane, there is no way to get last hits against that spell, if you also keep in mind that panda is a tanky modo who can bully you with clap and his right click. I don't understand the logic behind the non existent CD and low manacost on a hero that is quite strong as it is.

Why the removal of Jungle Talon?

Posted: 19 Dec 2017 10:03 AM PST

One thing that bothers me about Dota is it's complete ignorance of the Jungle. I was happy when I saw the talon being brought into play because I felt like they were going to make the jungle a more viable place to farm and shit as its the role I main in league. But then they removed the Talon... Whats the point of having a jungle if it can't be used by 90% of the character roster.
