Filthy League Player wanting to ascend

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 12:39 PM PDT

I want to ascend to DOTA but I want to know if there are any curveballs I need to look out for. Apparently jungling, buying items and the way laning works is really different in DOTA so what should I know? Also I mained Gangplank and quite liked Ekko, do they have any parallels in DOTA?

How much damage do u take when u have 2 platemails on tidehunter?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 07:39 AM PDT

I almost get 2 platemails after my guardian greaves amd blink everygame and I am very unkillable even without the 85% dmg reduction from anchor smash. I turn them into AC/shivas/Lotus on situation. But im still curious to know as I dont know how damage exactly works in dota when u combine armor with his passive kraken shell.

When should Morphling be picked?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 11:46 AM PDT

Back when Morph had replicate, I'd pick him whenever there was a PA or PL as their illusions were deadly. Now Morph seems like a pseudo-Rubick, when should you pick him?

Position 5 Rubick Item Build

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 05:26 PM PDT

I want to start using Rubick as a position 5 support but not quite sure how to itemize him these days.

I know blink and aghs is popular on a greedy Rubick but it seems way too expensive for a ward buying Rubick.

Any suggestions?

As a Support, How Do I Deal With Dual Offlane?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 06:16 AM PDT

Hey,

I just ranked up to Archon 2, was roughly 2.4K before the change. I've been learning a lot about this game and have been getting a lot better. Against a solo offlaner, assuming my carry doesn't push the lane, I can almost guarantee a free farm lane and a few kills. Not so much against a dual lane. Since the recent patches have made roaming slightly worse, how can I as a pos 5 support handle a dual offlane? My main heroes are Shadow Shaman, Witch Doctor, Rubick, and Bane.

Thanks.

Lost against Jungle LC and Offlane Clinkz-Wyvern

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 12:53 AM PDT

First of all, thanks to this whole subreddit for the informative and helpful discussions. It tremendously helped me achieve wherever i am now in the ladder.

Now, my predicament is, I got annihilated in a particular match and I want to learn what should have been done in the circumstances. To add a bit of background, I mostly play support or offlane, and I just reached Legend 5 after a somewhat long winstreak.

The enemy team had jungle LC; Clinkz in offlane, accompanied by Winter Wyvern; solo Juggernaut in safelane; and SF mid. Our team had Medusa in safelane, along with Naga and Kunkka(me); Zeus mid and Bristleback solo offlane. The problem was even though we were doing 3v2 in our safelane, we could not win the lane, and got involved in a few bad trades. SF won the mid lane against Zeus, and the bristle vs Jugg lane ended in a stalemate, and the LC jungled with impunity for the first 10 minutes. After 10-12 minutes, they started grouping up (not as 5, but rather as 3 or 4) and we were not in a fighting shape. Gradually we kept getting picked off.

Now I want to get suggestion about how to punish dual offlanes like this (clinkz-ww) and junglers.

My English is not the best; sorry if it resulted in some problems regarding understanding.

How do you prioritise your targets?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 11:17 AM PDT

Hey, I've been playing supports a lot and there's this gosu AI thingy that keeps informing me that my priority target is terrible. So I want to know how do you know who to focus on? I normally just target anyone my team is targetting rather than the ones I need. In case you need an opendota or the gosu AI match info, here's the link.

General game plans to win a as support?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 11:16 AM PDT

One of /u/circis1 says you have to focus on the players game plan for winning that youre watching. With this in mind, what are some common game plans to execute as a higher tier support? Right now I just focus on winning two lanes. Usually secure safe -> secure mid or off. What are some other ways I can look at the game as a support, as far as general game plan is concerned?

Is Daedalus out of meta?

Posted: 02 Apr 2018 08:12 PM PDT

I just realized that I never make this item anymore. When I play cores I never think 'Daedalus' when I ask myself what my hero needs right now, especially now that pretty much every other DPS item gives you some sort of utility or stats.

How to deal with lane equilibrium as offlane?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 09:01 AM PDT

If safe lane (assume support/carry) can pull their lane and get extra exp/gold, how do I deny them this as offlane, other than blocking/warding their camp? Should I try to keep the lane pushed? On that note, as safelane carry or support, should we try to keep the lane a bit more pushed so that we can pull if the offlane hero is pushing the lane towards us a lot?

Include a support with my ranked hero spamming?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 07:45 AM PDT

So I have limited myself to Lycan, PL, and Nightstalker, and I have done pretty well. However, I have had a few games where we don't get a support and we are screwed early game without disable or wards. Should I add a pure disable support to use if the team comp goes sideways? I was thinking Earthshaker, ss, or lion.

Showerthought: Silencer good against Tinker?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 10:19 AM PDT

After thinking about the 'new' changes to attributes and seeing that int (intelligence) gives magic resist now would Silencer be pretty good against Tinker? Not just that but Last Word could really screw with a re-arming Tinker. I mean you can deal with it with a purge but it could catch some players off-guard. Thoughts?

When do i build carry vs tank on bb

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 02:30 AM PDT

Bb can go carry or tank. I usually build full tank. I pick him if I want carry potential as an offlane. I don't always get allot of kills but I do become difficult to kill. They focus me and get shredded and then it becomes a run sim. They chase you but the don't realize how much damage they don't do and how much you do by doing nothing. But what if my team feeds it I get fed. Should I go carry. So when do I go carry vs tank bb.

I love you circis1

Hey all you low MMR people. Just do these challenges and win man.

Much lower than expected 800 GPM

But still more than ember(WHAT?)

Some questions: I started pushing after like bf shadowblade and BKB what are your recommendation Should I have farmed more?

See the dotabuff there is some team advantage thing which shows they were Winning the whole game? Why and how does it work?

Is it worth saving to get 40-50 hp in case of a tower dive? Or should I try disengaging (I died while trying to, because of Weaver) and then salve?

At the end i had some 8000-9000 spare change what to buy with that?

Terrorblade tips

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 08:04 AM PDT

I have a decent amount of games with tb and I feel like I can farm well with him, but I am kinda confused with him. Are you supposed to be more of split pusher or fight with your team. I am only saying bc he doesn't really have an escape mechanism. Or should you just split push with illusions or when they are showing and farm jungle/fight when not?

Early items on sniper mid

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 07:43 AM PDT

Hi, I watched a pro player stream sniper mid. He went aquila first, boots, and then two extra wraith bands. I didn't really understand this move. Why go for the two extra wraith bands? I get that one of the bands can be used to make a pike, which he did, but that's still one extra. Also why two wraith bands instead of a second aquila? Wouldn't a second aquila be more damage even if the aura doesn't stack? Here is the game https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3813482265/builds

Where the term Dark Horse came from?

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 07:08 AM PDT

I saw this term lately with TNC in DAC 2018, now, I think I know what it is, is like a team that nobody expects to be strong, maybe Wings is the best example am I right?

But, why "Dark Horse" and no any other term?

Need help vs tinker...

Posted: 02 Apr 2018 08:25 PM PDT

I can out last hit/deny most tinkers in lane mid, but they almost always steamroll my team anyways. Here's one match where I did okay (I was puck). Probably died too much, I really wanted to kill him and the team wasn't ganking effective at ganking. Should I have rushed boots of travel? Or at least got them after blink? Should I just pick someone else to counter tinker? Like Nyx has his mana drain thing and zeus has vision with his ult and OD steals int.... I feel like all those heroes are better match-ups for tinker. Thoughts?

How to counter nature prophet?

Posted: 02 Apr 2018 10:22 PM PDT

With orb of venom and blight stone, he hits for million damage. What do I pick to harass him in lane. I found that he doesn't really provide that much later unless he is really farmed.

I want to know how to deal with him in early game in the lane. But core and as a support. Thanks
