I'd prefer to just have someone figure out how to make something in dota 2 to do this. There was a dota 1 map that actually did it and was really good since it was an exact replica. | ||

That plus the edge panning doesn't quite work. Still a bit of fun though. ^_^ | ||

That's my advice. If you want to get better, do that. Stories about someone being nervous won't even come close to help you in anything, aside from entertaining you. Its not really groundbreaking you are right. That is why i never question why would i have to do these kinda thing. However it is uncommon for a support to go shoutshield instead of smoke+sentry. Given that you are going long lane, there will definitely a ward war thats gona go down around the block camp which could often result the lost of your obs and having to use sentry instead. Both builds are viable and my problem, if you could tell from my post, was that i dont know which build are these players taking as a GIVEN. I didnt know the drafter intention behind his line up bc there was really little communication going in plus me being unfamiliar to them, we are talking everything happens before the start of the game where most people just tab out and dont even care about the draft. My habits are also need to be broken down. I am a very passive aggressive support player. I strongly favor the trading of net worth on my hero to an extreme position make sure that my cores has room to farm and their core cant find pick off. Imagine a Naga who just gona sit in fog behind her hard carry 24/7 just to make sure she could song when a bat rider lasso, or a CM who gona frostbite a Bara charge instead of farming for high tier support items. I have seen many successful players who playstyle is similar or opposite and the succession is often depends on how good your cores' individual skill are to not get caught. Given my pub background, what I did clearly make sense but not fully efficient. And its these kinda habits that make my game play sometimes so out sync with the rest of the team and sometimes just sync up godly. Lastly, for those of you who dont know, I am not a core player. Even in pub i play support most of the time so a lot of things I need to learn are strategy related. Positioning, objective warding, drafting are all needed to be catered to your line up: Universe needs room to grow, Jeyo is aggressive, never follow bamboe or demon, ixmike takes ganking personal etc... I had never played with these people b4 so im still learning. That or i could spend 1000 hours grind out a core position and stop dodging 1v1 unvouch T_T. P/s: TC is so broken, and thank god i know how to play him. | ||

Matches above High (percent) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QGsqge9.png) It's really cool to see my progression like this. Wish there was something similar ingame so we don't need 3rd party sites for this. | ||

Thank you! Quick aside, does the Mek heal check to see if the Mek buff is on someone before healing? Because if so, I foresee a hilarious Diffusal into double Mek play happening sometime. | ||
