IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

One of the things that actually draw me back to LoL is the stale role meta. It's easy to understand how things play and everybody's functions, but in Dota 2 (specially when in -AP) it always seems so chaotic, and with the whole hero pool available I have problems deciding what to play.

I guess I have yet to get used to it.


That's exactly the fun part of dota

Hardlane PA/Jug/Kunkka/Sniper, roamer Viper, support Riki.
or the odd moment when nobody wants mid (and i got Tide), hell yeah mid Tide was so awesome.

Is there any advide you guys can give me? I don´t need guides that tell me what a lane is, or why I have to last hit. I need somthing to understand the "deeper" mechanics of these games. When to pick which hero, when to buy which item and so on... Also, I don´t like most hero guides because I have no idea why they recommend which item and what happens if I meet some counterchamp.


At lower levels being familiar with your hero is as or more important than basically anything else. A player playing puck with an intimate understanding of what the hero can do and what situations it can get in to and back out of will likely fare better than someone playing a hero for the first time, but with a more advanced knowledge of when to push, better understanding of matchups etc.

Trying to go right for understanding the game as a whole without understanding the part of the game you directly control is like trying to understand a philisophical text without first knowing what all the words mean.

Though basic concepts such as "Don't feed/die" and "holla holla get dolla" still apply.

Positive winrate overall, negative winrate on my most played heroes. Wait, what was I saying again?

Pub perspective naturally:
imho.. all of that really doesn't matter. Figuring out the right time for a hero, or situational item picks is some advanced level shit. My only strategy is trying to maximize my team's farm. That simple view let me get into relatively high skill (I want to say 99th percentile but I don't know how accurate that DBR thing was).
On occasion I stray from it, and focus on particular strategies like early push, practicing offensive tris, getting dagon-eblade on everyone,etc. They all have three things in common:
-they are really fun to learn
-they probably make me understand small aspects of the game a little better
-and also they tend to lose me games (mostly because I have no idea what the hell I'm doing)

Eventually I go back to focusing on the maximing-farm aspect, and wham-bam, I'm winning again. This doesn't mean mindlessly ricing, but just look at the 6 big resources on the map:
-3 lanes
-2 jungles
-1 enemy team

And figure out how you can get the most gold for your whole team out of it.

I just view gold as the backbone of everything. It's like macro in starcraft. Does it really matter what you build or how you build it, as long as you have enough of it? Not til GM level it doesn't.
(\o/)  If you want it, you find a way. Otherwise you find excuses. No exceptions.
