I don't watch pro games, but is Dazzle picked often? I never see him picked in TLIH (which is just an attempt to copy pro picks I assume?) so I was just curious. If he isn't picked often, why not?

Batrider needs some levels to do multicamp clears, which wastes the window of his laning ability.

I mean, you only really want to start jungling either when you're close to, or after you have Blink Dagger. You're really strong on the lane, and the a large reason you want to start clearing jungle with him is because not being in a lane creates pressure for everyone if you have Blink.

dont buy too much in TLIH... there is a different between pub meta game and high level meta game. TL-IH is just any -cm mode you got in match making: no chen enchan ban and mass pub rape heroes like NS or BH.

chen/ench is only worth banning against teams that play their best games when using them. in TLIH hardly anybody that knows how to play that role wants to play them.

i should do some TLIH sometime then. Chen and Enchantress are by far my best heroes. In my last 80 non chen/ench games I have a 42% win rate, my last 30 chen/ench games im 76%. Invoker is a distant 3rd (with more than 25 games played) and he is at 54%. I can definitely see NS and BH being frequent pickups though. Tough to beat those heroes if skill is equal vs equal. It requires coordination which is pretty infrequent in pubs.

I seem to find that Chen requires a little team coordination early game. If I am queuing with 2+ others I will generally win 1-2 lanes for my team, possibly a 3rd. I like picking enchantress in solo queue. No matter what, if you are good you will win guarenteed 1 lane, probably 2 lanes, and possibly all lanes for your team single handedly. The biggest thing I have found with her to have a massive impact in pubs is 1) rack up as much gold/kills in the first 5 minutes and do your damndest to take the tower in the lane you are jungling near. 2) As soon as night hits, smoke gank another lane (I generally do it solo with 2 creeps, either a hard disabler or an ursa for the slow) then push the tower hard. Since her vision is so fucking amazing at night you can completely catch people by suprise even with solo smoke. Drums mek mana boots at a reasonable time and you are a monster. Proceed to win gam unless your team absolutely fails.

I've gotten to the point with her where stomping is inevitable so I have started trying troll builds. You would be surprised how hilarious Armlet+MoM is.

It's like Vigoss was born a ganker or smt. I remember a game where he just ran around with Leshrac (and a haste rune?) at level 2 or smt and kill like 3 people in a row. It's like whereever he goes, someone will die.

Try restarting steam. Happens to me when I put my pc to sleep while having steam in the background.

That is probably why my Venomancer is 5 bars right now since I use the plague wards as warding for entire matches. Perhaps that is one of the main factors for determining performance (since wins does not really seem to influence it). That might mean support might on average have higher performance than other types (of course, that is only a theory though).

When I installed it said I received some extra keys to send to friends or something. Now I can't find those anymore. I hope I didn't fuck something up. Would like to give one key to my friend. Well I sent a support ticket lets see what happens

Indeed, I managed to get mid and bot raxes earlier in <25mins just cause my team actually pushed with me and having a Shadow Shaman helps.

Alot of pubs don't know how to react to chen and you can easily get t1 and t2 towers in the first 10 minutes if you get some luck with creeps and ganks.

Manta on venomancer? I usually play more assist and melt face against players than going carry. I usually have to go vanguard simply to stay alive and scepter is well, a no brain er. But I have never gone manta. I love playing as venomancer though; the hero is the only one I managed to maximize my performance in the game. Granted, I do not think that means much haha. But still, I enjoy playing veno so much.

What was your starting build skill wise?

As i'm new to dota, i play at the lowest level so maybe thats why it works
