| In the supermajor GF, whichever team that had first pick ended up winning the game Posted: 10 Jun 2018 04:43 AM PDT Seems like first pick is the biggest advantage in dota right now especially with top tier teams since the other team is forced to ban out wisp giving you a huge advantage. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if wisp just gets straight up removed from CM before TI at this rate lol Edit: Nahaz tweeted out first pick advantage throughout the whole tournament: https://twitter.com/NahazDota/status/1005789881224736769?s=20 67% playoffs is pretty insane [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2018 10:05 AM PDT Is Orchid good on Weaver? I've been spamming Weaver a bit recently and I've found it to be useful in certain matchups. I think it helps with locking down heroes such as Storm Spirit and it synergizes well with Weaver as it builds into Bloodthorn. So it got me wondering, why don't more people build Orchid on Weaver?

| Posted: 10 Jun 2018 03:42 PM PDT If you've watched competitive Dota, you know that players that typically fill those roles are 5 position supports. Players like Solo, Fly, Kuroky and Faith are some good examples. The thought here is that being 5 position supports, they do not have much as much to occupy them throughout the game. Cores have to worry about getting last hits and experience, as well as avoiding ganks. 5 position supports don't typically get last hits, and in the mid to late game it's not really a big deal if they get caught and die. This frees up their mind to think more strategically about the game. When to Rosh, when to smoke, when to swap lanes, etc. So my question is this, do you believe certain positions, like a support, are better suited to doing such things like drafting/shot calling? We've seen some core players like Ramzes and Mushi do the drafting, but we don't know for sure if they're calling the shots throughout the game while trying to get last hits under towers. Surely it would be difficult to let one person draft and a different person dictate the game when they don't have similar vision of how the game should pan out? Let me know what you think.

| Posted: 09 Jun 2018 08:03 PM PDT So, I have two friends I met in DotA and have played with for the last two years. The problem is, I've managed to climb 2k above them, and playing with them and their friends no longer fun. Like, it actually takes a toll on me to play with them if I try to play seriously and I get exhausted. I don't want to stop playing with them, but the joy gets sucked out of me loss after loss. For example, I went 30-7 as void early today while my support SS went 6-22, my offlane bloodseeker built a radiance, despite having no survivability and having a greedy line up with core DK, Void, and BS. I like playing with them, I just don't like the current way games go. I either try hard and can't carry hard enough, putting me on edge every match having to play perfectly. Or, if I play casually like they do, I have to sit down and dedicate 30-60 minutes to losing because the game wants to force me to play hard due to the enemy team being a higher average than my teammates. It's a lose-lose situation and I don't know what to do. [link] [comments]  |
| ~2k | Effective offlaning advice Posted: 10 Jun 2018 01:23 PM PDT Hey guys, I am here looking for some advice to play the offlane effectively in my 2k bracket. At the moment, I try to play middle when I can because I feel mid cores have more control over winning the game (and carries of course), and I am good with the heroes I play. However, I do really enjoy playing the offlane, and I really enjoy a lot of the offlane heroes in the game. Hence, I am interested in trying to learn the role and possibly become an offlaner 'spammer'. To give a description on my bracket, offlaners (not me included) don't seem to play the role correctly. For example, when a Void goes offlane, they just build a 20-25 minute Battle Fury and afk farm. They also won't roam with their ult. Overall, offlaners in my bracket aren't useful/effective, which is why I want to see if my impact on the lane will help me win some games. When I play in the offlane, I try to build for my team and become a utility hero (when needed), but it doesn't work out the way I want it to. For instance, if I play Void offlane, I try to focus on buying items I need that will also help the team, and I try to be in as many fights as possible with my ultimate. Yet, my team doesn't take advantage of my hero's utility, which ends us wasting kill opportunists, not pushing, and so on. This is a problem I would like to fix to help gain that delicious MMR. I already have a decent knowledge about offlaning that allows me to offlane well against the people in my bracket, but not enough to get myself out of it. I also have a decent offlaning pool, but I can admit I need to work on it a bit more to fully understand each hero's role. Right now, as the title says, I am asking for advice to help me improve playing in the offlane. Looking for as much help as I can to be honest, but there are some areas I am concerned on improving:
I personally try hard to learn and improve on Dota, and I do feel I have more knowledge than most of the people I play with. Although, I let myself down often by making all sorts of mistakes, such as going into fights even when I know I shouldn't have, not going into fights I know I should have, not knowing complete basics of drafting, not knowing the enemies roles properly, and so on. Thus, I am here asking for help to improve as much as I can. Any comments are appreciated :) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2018 03:14 AM PDT This is the current list I have: Immediate buyback: +) Push other lanes if they're close to your base +) Faster buyback timer refresh -) Enemies can switch to farming the jungle immediately and ignore the push, resulting in wasted buyback Delayed buyback: +) Forces enemies to choose between pushing or farming, where one is better for your team than the other depending on how late your team can take the game -) Delays refreshed buyback timer [link] [comments]  |
| Viability of Visage support in high ranks? Posted: 10 Jun 2018 04:18 AM PDT Anyone here believe that it's possible to pull it off in high ranks? Visage is my favorite hero but I rarely get to play him on solo games since I'm a support player, and I know for a fact I'll mess up playing him as a core, wanted to hear some thoughts.

| Want to spam a carry - will Troll work? Posted: 10 Jun 2018 06:10 AM PDT I want to spam a carry to master the fundamentals. I have supports/offlaners/mids to spam for their respective roles, but no safe lane carry. From a noob perspective, it looks like Troll can deal with ranged harass somewhat with his Q. He can perma bash, slow people with E and murder buildings with his passive/ult. However, it seems he needs a bunch of farm to become a threat, and can be easily kited. Is Troll a viable carry to spam and, if so, what should I bear in mind? I'm also happy to entertain other heroes for the purposes of spamming. Thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |

I am new to the game and I appreciate any answers, tips and guides. thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2018 04:31 PM PDT I'm a 3.7k player but I have a friend who's just starting out and I'd like to play with him. I don't want to put him on support because he wouldn't really learn anything from it early on and I don't really want him on a big core role because we'd just lose. So I was thinking about just doing dual offlane with me as a pos 4 and him as a 3 or something along those lines. But what would be a good hero to put him on to help him learn and not get shit on before he gets good? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2018 07:24 AM PDT Pretty sure I didn't deserve that loss. I bought all the wards and sentries, literally position 5'd, and was top hero and building damage, how the fuck is that possible. Some games on this game are total bullshit but you get an L anyways, NICE. Worthless trying to support at 3k mmr, it's a total gamble. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2018 04:44 AM PDT This hero is so unbelievably broken. It's picked in every single game it's ridiculous. He gets perma hasted when invis and he can deal so much damage and can root. You just run a brainless dual strength offlane lineup and auto win the game. [link] [comments]  |
