Placing a ward 200 units from the carry is very likely too conservative. And standing so close to a carry means you're not contesting rune, zoning offlaner, producing fear in other players because you're off the map, and you're stealing exp. One of the worst suggestions I've read. Facepalm. The advice was not to place a ward onto the position of the carry every 2 mins. Nor was it to share his XP. It was to stay close to a carry, playing ultra conservative, making sure he has safe farm, because if you're going 0-10-4 say, there are going to be some fat tempo controllers raging around the map. At worst, you are early warning, at best you are stopping the gank happening.  Sorry for not making my thoughts explicit. | ||

If you are going to compare your dota style with Tal, then maybe playing a carry (or a semi-carry)with a dive-heavy style would be a better fit than a support who dies a lot. Tal is probably my favorite Chess player as well, and even though the guy has a reputation for making "unsound sacrifices", don't take it as a license to just take a risk and see what happens. The dude was ridiculously good at calculating and had a killer attacking instinct. You say you want to be different, but are you doing something different just to be different? Or are you doing something different because it is good? Because being different just to be different is a worthless pursuit. In the end, what is good almost always becomes the norm. To truly create something unique and valid requires an extremely high level of understanding that probably only a few people in the world possess. So I would suggest that you just stick to playing basic, principled dota, and work from the ground up. | ||
