| For those of you who use space as an item hotkey, what do you put there? Posted: 09 Jan 2018 03:28 PM PST Space is probably the easiest key to use quickly/repeatedly. Which items are worth putting in the "space" slot? [link] [comments]  |
| Items to get early on SS, WD, and other pos 4/5? Posted: 09 Jan 2018 09:36 AM PST Hi, I have a problem. I love, love, love glimmer cape. Coming from League (rip, sorry), I was so amazed that there were multiple items that could make you invis. Glimmer became my favorite since it adds MR and I main support. My question is mostly - how do I get out of glimmer cape crutch mode? I know I need to vary up my item purchases more (I tend to go arcanes > glimmer > other items as SS and WD). When shouldn't I get glimmer? I rarely buy it if we have a riki or other team members that would bait out dust/sentry purchases, but I'm guilty of buying it in like, every other game. I barely remember what a mek is anymore. I've identified glimmer as a potential issue but I don't want to replace it with worse items/habits. I'm also trying to not be a shaman one trick pony but I just got back into DotA after a long break and he's treating me well. Any suggestions for heroes that would fill out my hero pool and help me stay away from glimmer as often? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2018 09:53 AM PST Hey, so I'm just asking how to improve my puck game. I lost a good amount of my puck games(~20% winrate) because we didn't push enough and the enemy team was kinda 4-5 cores. Now, by no means am I a good puck player. I'm adequate, I do decent in lane with Cs and deny, I should gank more oftenly in the early game to get the mid game advantage. I create space for my hard carry when I get the chance to. I actually like to play puck(normally a Jack of all trades) so I want to learn how to do better and better contribute to the team [link] [comments]  |
| How do you get your team to cooperate? Posted: 09 Jan 2018 11:07 AM PST Often times whenever I win in a stomp or have an easy game, it's because I have a team that listens/works with me. I feel like I can win most of my games if I can just get my team to cooperate. I'm not saying I'm the best/smartest player on my team all the time, but I usually know what to do and when to do it. However, half my games are either harder than they have to be or lost because my team is unwilling to listen (or maybe I need to listen to them idk)...I know it sounds like I'm blaming my team, but I don't want to do that. I want to work with my team. How can I get them to work with me. Any tips to increase teamwork? If my team won't work with or listen to me at all- is it even possible to win? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 09 Jan 2018 10:13 AM PST So I got the DK skin from the Frostivus event, and since I was picking mid into a team that did mostly physical dmg (4 right click cores and an ogre), I thought I'd pick DK and see what happens. Anyways, I destroyed the SF in lane and start roaming, but realized I was running out of mana so often I had a lot of downtime porting back to base. I pretty much looked at which items gave damage and mana regen, and ended up finishing an orchid at 22 min after SB and treads, which conveniently also stopped the windranger from running away from me. Now, we had such a massive gold advantage it didn't really matter, but I was wondering how most people manage mana on DK, since looking at his dotabuff the only items that provide mana sustain that he builds somewhat often are Soul Ring and Magic Stick, both of which are super cheap sustain items that I assume are meant for offlane DK. The only other item that even gives intelligence is SE, which you kinda get as a bonus upgrading the SB. So does the average DK just base religiously, given his mana regen is terrible and he has enough mana for like 2-3 rotations before backing? Or am I playing him incorrectly by consistently using SB > w > q > r off cooldown on lone targets. Keep in mind I'm pretty much a complete noob (<200 total matches) and only really started playing this game after the new season patch for league completely destroyed my will to play the game.

| Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:44 AM PST I started playing dota 2 in sept 2016, i played unranked whole year till sept 2017.In oct 2017 i calibrated to 1300 solo mmr. So far playing for 2 months of ranked games i am 1975 mmr. Problem is that within this two months i play only 2 heros to win my matches ie Pa and Mk. Earlier in unranked games i used to play all heros. I used to consider pa is no skill hero so i had only played her 10-15 times. But now i play her every game juat for sake of mmr. So far i am gaining mmr but i fear that i wont be able to play dota 2 better in high skill tier if i just spam these for mmr.what should i do? [link] [comments]  |

| How to survive against an offlane kunkka as a melee carry in the safelane? Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:35 PM PST Kunkka maxes his W and just spams it like no tomorrow. It also doesn't register as a spell casted so that magic wand I make is useless against him. If I have a support he can harass the kunkka for a bit, but if the kunkka also has a support we get fucked up because we can't stay and farm in the lane. Any suggestions to atleast survive the lane against kunkka as a melee carry? [link] [comments]  |
| Outworld Devourer vs Anti-Mage Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:07 AM PST I always thought that Anti-Mage would be OP against INT heroes, but I had a game with my friends and one of them counter-picked against my OD and used AM. He's around 4k MMR while me..... I still can't play ranked. But for 3 times we did a 1v1, I won twice he only won once. That was when I fought him first and don't know what Aghanim's does to AM but for the next two fights I countered with Aghanim's too(double casting for Astral Imprisonment) I thought I would lose but I notice everytime my damage chips off 1/4 of his HP every hit. And once I used Hurrican Pike and the 4 orbs just killed him full HP, is he just playing AM wrong or is OD OP? I can't use other heroes yet and I only think AM is the one I can use as a counter for OD(pretty much any INT heroes..) EDIT: I forgot to mention, I used Linken's and Aghanim's so when my spell is reflected back I dispell it and cast Astral Imprisonment again. Then use my SS to chip off his HP and proceed with spamming first skill. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:19 AM PST So I am trying to switch from offlane to midlane because I would like to try all the positions (midlane is somewhat scary for me). Just played a game as QOP and I had to lane against Invoker. The problem arised when he just started denying every single creep. Because of that he started getting a large experience lead. My main question is how is a hero that has low base damage supposed to lane or get last hits against an Invoker that sits in lane with three exorts? The match id is 3669630218. I know I have low MMR but would like to know how so that I can perform better the next time I have to lane against an Invoker. Thank you for all the help! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2018 04:31 AM PST hi ive always been wondering why people add an additional point to shadow strike in the first 3-4 levels (i just keep it with 1 level point) and figured that the additional nuke from scream is better for farming and kill potential when u reach 6 with lvl 3 scream any ideas why adding another point to ss is better than the circumstance i laid above? i wanna hear your thoughts. thanks in advance. cheers!

| Would u guys be interested in a 6-7k team and their journey? Posted: 09 Jan 2018 02:14 PM PST Would you guys be interested in a stream about a 6-7k team doing quals, some small tourns, and replay analysis? the stream would normally be through the perspective of the 4 position/captain and be willing to answer any questions outside of comp games [link] [comments]  |
| Who is the Best Pick-Off Safelane Carry at the Moment? Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:52 AM PST To have a more rounded safelane hero pool I need a pick-off centred hero. Is there one that is specifically strong right now? Weaver, Ursa, Troll, Slark, PA, MK, Clinkz, Bloodseeker or Lifestealer are the sort of heroes I'm thinking so far? [link] [comments]  |
| How do mids find time to stack neutrals now days? Posted: 09 Jan 2018 12:29 AM PST I love stacking ancients on TA but on others it seems a pretty far walk to the nearest large camp. Any vods would help a lot, maybe a shadowfiend [link] [comments]  |

| Hey Guys, went 9-1 placements, got Guardian 5, wanted to say thanks for answering my dumb questions Posted: 08 Jan 2018 11:28 PM PST Hi, I've asked my fair share of dumb questions under a couple of different reddit alts, and your generosity with knowledge really helped. I ended up going 9-1, had a KDA just under 5, and got to Guardian 5. I'm less interested in climbing than I am in learning, but it was still better than I expected. I mostly did this as DK (6-0, 6.3 KDA) flexing between whatever positions the team needed (played everything but position 1, funnily enough). The advice about itemization helped a ton, since in my last game the enemy team had LC, PA, SF and Drow, and an early Crimson Guard did the trick. I think the usual stuff about positive mental attitude and being willing to go support also helped a lot. Thanks a lot for answering the dumb questions I've posed here. The information really was valuable. All the best to you guys. (If I COULD pose a question, I'm worried that DK will either get nerfed or become a contested pick. Assuming I'm aiming for team-fight tankiness coming from positions 3, 4, and 5, what do you guys recommend? Ideally something that doesn't rely on builds that emphasize micro play. I'm garbage at micro.) [link] [comments]  |

| Good complimentary role for mid? Posted: 08 Jan 2018 09:36 PM PST Hope this makes sense. Generally when I'm playing carry and someone else wants that role really bad for whatever reason, I just pick a safelane support. The reasoning behind this is that in either role I can work on similar skills (in this case, playing the safe lane) and improve faster instead of completely switching roles every game (like playing safe lane one game, then roaming next, then offlane and so on) and forcing myself into different playstyles every game. If I alternate b/w pos 1 and pos 5, it almost feels like I have the same objectives like how to secure the lane, zone the offlaner, when to push the tower, just different ways to achieve them. Back to the title question, if I were a mid player, what would be a complimentary role for the games I don't get mid? Should I pick a roamer and just sit mid to harass the enemy hero? Or perhaps I should look to offlane, since most ex-mid players (Fata, s4, Sumail) tend to shift to offlane for some reason and certain heroes (Puck, QoP, Brew, Clock) can work in both mid and offlane.

| Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:53 AM PST I calibrated a few years back at 3.2k and left for about 8+ months to focus on life. When I came back to dota I found I had become worse at everything and the ranked rating fell so much that I was 2.5k at one point and I got back to 2.8k. I don't ever think that my teammates are the problem because I think everyone has a bad game and I feel my skill is the issue. For example in a Pudge game I made two hearts when we were doing pretty good when it would make sense to make proper armor like Assault Cuirass or Shiva's to get more effective HP. I probably am horrible at game sense and itemization. I believe I have hit a plateau now as I win a few lose a few. I practiced last hitting and I averaged about 40 now compared to before when I would have 20. I also look at the map properly to try and improve my match awareness. usually the heroes I go to in ranked are Axe, Slardar, Dragon Knight, Juggernaut, Pudge. I occasionally try Lion, Ogre Magi, Earthshaker, Lifestealer and Legion Commander sometimes. If you guys can help me out it would be great.

| Questions about Necrophos mid... Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:51 AM PST I have tried to lane Necro mid as a carry twice. Once against an Invoker and other against Huskar. In the first case, I won the lane, not because I was last hitting more than Invo, but because of my high regen. In the second, I lost the lane easily because of Huskar's enormous harass. I have the following questions: a) How to itemize to deal with Invo's high damage (thus, high LH)? b) How to deal with Huskar's right clicks? [link] [comments]  |
