Part 1: http://www.liquiddota.com/blogs/489533-on-terminology

Ler gives the commonly accepted usage of core.

Cores = Heroes that get a lot of exp and farm distributed by their team.
Carry = The Position 1 of every team (the hero that gets the most Gold/Exp distributed by his team)

But this definition considers nearly every lineup "tri-core" as there will always be at least 3 farmers.
  • Lifestealer Puck Tidehunter + Supports
  • Juggernaut Shadowfiend Bristleback + Supports

By current popular definition, both these lineups are tri-core, even though it's one carry against three. Isn't a primary purpose of "core" to compare 4-protect-1, dual-core, and tri-core strategies?


Where did the term core come from?

Historically, core was used to talk about item builds, and not heroes. We talked about "core items" for heroes, as in what a hero is especially suited to build.

"Core" as a term to describe heroes exploded in popularity in 2013, when Alliance became known for their dual-core lineups with a utility tempo hero in the mid-lane. You can find a few cases of core heroes before 2013 but not many. Here in September 2012, it is used to describe iG's tri-core and NaVi's dual-core. In January before that, the same poster discusses Centaur as a core hero. In December, HolySKevin highlights Dendi's usage of Jakiro as a "semi-core hero instead of support."

At first, core was synonymous with carry. Later on the meaning began to shift. Here is a thread asking "What Does "Core" Mean" from July 2014.

I was able to figure out what "core" meant the first time I heard it, but why switch from "carry?" All you're going to do is confuse your teammates while you go on a petty little rant about "cores."

The word carry has since its initial usage confused players. Is a Dark Seer a carry just because it's farming? Is a Morphling a carry if it's not farming? Is a CM a carry if it's winning fights for its team, but not farming? Is it a carry if it starts farming? The nomenclature of "cores" and "supports", to distinguish those with farm priority from those without, is remarkably clear and straightforward.


What was once used to distinguish between single-core, dual-core, and tri-core lineups as a synonym for carry is now used to distinguish between farmers and non-farmers.

How did this happen?

I suspect it went something like this. First, core was used in place of carry due to whim of translation. This is adopted by a few people. Then, unconventional carries like Dendi's Jakiro were rightly called "cores" and this became widely adopted by casters such as Godz. Then in a misinformed leap, all farming heroes, including utility, became cores and casters adopted this usage, followed by the public.

I believe this usage to be incorrect and its spread concerns me. By bastardizing terms, legitimate uses lose meaning.

A regular consequence of things gaining popularity, in a broader sense of globalization. Should I feel bad for feeling indifferent for the whole issue? It feels to me like fighting pop culture, you can show your disapproval, but only a small fraction of people you might reach out to will care.

everything loses meaning as time goes by
Mr TobiWan invented the term rotate for anything.
Rotate to gank
Rotate to farm
Rotate to push
Rotate to defend
this triggers me
Rotation implies something is moving around an axis.

I used to have the same reaction back when I played TF2, when people referred to teams having the 'momentum'.
+ Show Spoiler [I even wrote a blog about it] +
If there was a contest for the most abused, overused or misused by the community term in the scope of game theory related to TF2, I'd vote for 'momentum', hands down. It's just an easy way to describe how teams deal with the current mental state of their opponents, so whenever one of them starts steamrolling, its being described as 'holding or having the momentum'. On the other hand, when the other team begins to withhold the pressure and attacks back, it 'reclaims, regains or steals the enemy team's momentum'.

And, I mean, what the fuck. This is not classical mechanics, lads.

The reason for which I get so upset about it is because of the misconceptions new players might get regarding flow of the game, as well as the misconceptions the Old Guard already has about it. What it leads to is people thinking they have to prepare a defensive stance in order to take a full brunt in their chests, hold the aggression firmly and then push their opponents back. Which is completely bullshit, even in relation to real life. When there's a fucking 2x2x2m that's about to ram into you, you aren't just going to stand there and wait for the impact. What you are going to do is do a high jump, backflip and then smash him in his back with your feet while in the air, Bruce Lee style. And that is exactly how you should address aggression in TF2 - by taking initiative and striking back, especially where it hurts the most. Many, if not the majority of the tactics you get to see nowadays have some blunt flaws that are just waiting to be exploited - and that's where you should attack. I do believe that the best example of such situations are most of Granary middle fights. Once one team starts losing, it tends to sit in the corner of the middle area and wait for picks' opportunities to arise. What they seem to not realize, every fucking time, is that if just one of the soldiers take their crate (not to mention both of them), they are toasted. That's one of the reasons for which Granary is seen as a team map - people just find themselves lost in situations where additional support is advisable (not to mention that this exact opinion cripples them from the very beginning). What I said about initiative holds true - unconventional tactics and pure aggression are always going to beat sitting and waiting for an impact.

Applying game theory, or any sort of theory in general, to this game only limits your mind if you are unable of thinking beyond the box. Be mindful of that.

I thought the term "core" originated with Valve's fantasy dota in the ti3 compendium, which categorized players as either core or support. I don't recall hearing the term in the context of heroes/players before then, but I don't really follow things like this.

I had the same feeling about "rotation" before but now I use it in games too. Eh.

The term late-bloomer doesn't sound as cool.

Core in a geometric sense implies relative position. This means that the other heroes move around that center. This implies that the core has to have good survivability, or it wouldn't be wise to be the center of attention.
I don't take into account how "core" as a term surfaced here, but in this light a core is a hero that has good survivability scaling into the late-game (when there will be team fights. Which implies that Russian doto has a lot more cores :-) ).

To me the core definition is fine. I don't have an exact definition for carry, but in my mind it's something along the lines of "the player that goes most above their respective role towards winning the game". I suppose core defines the roles of each player, while to me carry is about the in game performance of each player.

If your AM is 20-0 and is winning the game single-handedly, of course you will say that this player is the carry. Or if your CM is 0-0-25 and won every lane for your team, then this player is carrying. Here's where my definition breaks down though, if your CM is 0-0-25 and won all the lanes and your AM is 18-1-whatever with a majority of the kills and towers, who is the carry now?

I think carry is a tough definition to pin down, especially if we're talking about pub dota. What about the player who called for all the smoke ganks that caught you up in the mid game? Or the player who refused to quit when you were mega'd and you end up winning, or the player who diffused tension between two players or got someone to stop AFK'ing in the fountain allowing for a come back? These people could have as much impact as the 25-0 AM or the earthshaker that ganked mid 5 time causing their mid player to disconnect (is their mid player your carry here??).

Another thought:
-does every game have a carry for both teams? If every lane lost horribly and the opponent wins at 20min, does your team have a carry? Can a losing team even have a carry? Can a team have multiple carries?

The widely accepted defenition of a carry in terms of dota heroes is a hero who scales better-than-average into the lategame with gold and experience
You're talking about carry in the sense of an actual player (not a hero) who does exceptionally well compared to the rest of his team (i.e. ferrari 430 carried iG for most of the second half of 2014)

Good point.

Here's how I see it now, the cores reflect the true farm priority of the team, whereas the carry reflects the innate scaling ability of the hero. You could have core supports, and in some games this happens; however generally you want to have your cores as carries due to their scaling.

I would divide it as such:
-Roles: Carry and support
-Positions: Core and support

I think this terminology is very useful, however I can't think of another term that is used apart from support in both cases. We have "carry-ers" and "support-ers", and also core positions and support positions. For instance Naga is a carry, undoubtedly, however she can play in the support position while later transitioning to a core position. I definitely think that there needs to be this core/carry duality to describe such a scenario as a core Jakiro or a support Naga, where the old support/carry paradigm just isn't enough. I just think that there needs to be another word other than support to describe either low farm priority or bad scaling heros that currently exists in Dota-speak (unless I'm just not thinking of it at the moment).

Kinda how I feel on the subject.

Plus a bit of wondering why people would object to terms rotating (ka... nevermind dont wanna get banned) in meaning as time goes on.

I don't get the fuss on this.

Carry
Noun: A hero that takes up #1 farm priority AND scales well late game. Eg. Spectre is a carry.

Verb: A hero/player that played exceptionally well, or a hero/player that was the key factor for the win. Eg. The cm carried us. We turtled enough for the medu to carry us.

Adjective: Implies a hero going for a late game/DPS build, or a hero with high farm priority. Eg. Dendi won with a carry maiden yesterday. I play only carry heroes in pubs.

Core
Noun: A hero that scales well into late game, and is given the farm to do so or has somehow obtained that farm. Eg. Alliance 2013 often ran dual core strategies. This is such a greedy tri core lineup of terrorblade, naga and prophet.

Adjective: A hero given farm/exp priority. Usually used on heroes that have multiple roles, or are usually played as support. Eg. Universe is playing the core jakiro. This look like a pocket core Rhasta pick. Suddenly aui's support naga has become a core naga.

Carry is a hero that scales (in respect to damage/armor/health) with items and exp

core is a hero that you NEED to give resource to be impactful, not necessarily a carry but some one you need to devote resources to for the hero to fulfil whatever role it was required to fulfil.

they are different schools of thought, carry/support is a very linear approach to understanding the resource management of the game, you give resource to the damage dealer.

cores is very timing based. a puck core is not going to be a carry in late game but she will contribute as a core in mid game due to her utilities.

just like squares and rectangles, exactly.

i personally don't see anything wrong with the terminology "core" when it's used to talk about your 1, 2, and 3 pos heroes. carry, as many people pointed out, refers to a hero that scales really well as the game progresses through farm.

Two things I have a different understanding off: the core noun and the carry noun.
A core doesnt have to scale imo, Undying can be a core f.e.. Somewhat congruent with your adjective definition.
For me a carry doesnt have to take #1 priority, Loda and Bulldog often were head to head in terms of gold when Alliance was still the team to beat, and both often played two carries in the same game.

Dual-cores and tri-cores don't make much sense in the way that core is used now, since essentially they mean dual-carry or tri-carry strats. As in carry being a hero that gets farm priority, scales well and farms a lot.
Pudge is hardly a carry, QoP can be played as one and SF pretty much always is. All three are played pretty much exclusively as cores.
low gravity, yes-yes!
