I love the feeling when you are having a good game on heroes like Centaur or Timbersaw, as you can make risky plays jumping into the whole enemy team doing as much damage as you can while your team comes to clean up and sometimes surviving through it all. | ||

were you also aggressively taking risks in this game where you go 4-FORTYONE-10? i mean, in almost all of your games, you are dying at least 10 times, which is my arbitrary limit on acceptable number of deaths in a game. pros don't need to die so much to be effective and i have no doubt they take risks too. | ||

I might have to watch this replay once I get home to witness your risky ancient stacking and what not. Don't let anyone put you down though, these blogs are always amusing and you're queueing on US east so I'm safe from this. So painfully obvious when you bought the account though. | ||

to put it in perspective my last 4 LOSING games with my core i went 18-10 21-6 22-7 18-8 (one of those i went 17-0) (and of course a lot of the deaths are potentially from fucking around at endgame when its already over) and each of those i was able to blame myself entirely for the loss of the game (when other members of my team are 4-13, 3-11, 6-13, 2-14 and so on) because i know (sometimes by watching replay) exactly how i could have done things differently because of this, i don't quite agree with the sentiment of risk-taking. looking at my replays from a tactical (mechanical decision-making) or strategic point of view , i can pretty clearly see when a play is either a) stupid or b) not stupid. but this is on a core and not on a support if you watch a high level player play on low level games you can more clearly see their decision-making that sets them apart | ||

I don't get it, sure the KotL thing was a feed but we could take it as satire at worst instead of being outright offensive here I just have a bone to pick with people that buy accounts few thousand MMR above their skill level and then ruin doto for the poor souls that get matched up with them. He doesn't seem mean spirited or anything though, maybe just a little bit delusional. Oh and the blog wasn't even half bad other than trying to make feeding into a clever and creative playstyle. | ||

But if you're real, don't misconstrue this as rudeness, I'm simply taking a risk. | ||

There's stuff like. - Buys smoke as starting item on KotL and doesn't do anything with till eventually uses it to run to lane quicker after dying. Not a big deal but you could have done something else with that 100g, who are you going to gank as KotL anyway. - Blocks his own camp from spawning by standing next to it then tries to deward nothing. Other team didn't actually buy a single ward. - Pudge and Troll destroy PA, KotL runs to help PA from a mile away after PA is already dead. Then KotL turns to run away, then turns again to right click Pudge and KotL dies. Then it's just people feeding Pudge. Seriously though man, just go back to your own MMR games, work on the basics instead of trying to be too cute. There's just no shortcuts in getting good at DotA. | ||

my advice is that you should focus on learning by traditional methods until you reach a standard of competence and then apply your own genius/quirks to what you do at that point.... in dota and in life (hopefully you dump dota and get good at something more worthwhile tho.... your anxiety will vanish if you do this) | ||

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. | ||

I don't know why I tend to do this but it produces some...inconsistencies...for a lack of a better term no. it's why you're 1k dota, and 1400 elo chess. oh and this gem from reddit That's not true. I am a master. I have a very low rating because I am prone to let won positions slip out of my grasp on chess.com. thats like saying "im really a 6k player in dota. im just 1k because i cant win games" | ||

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. | ||
