same here i used to update myself with warding/pulling/playing certain heroes by watching replays from good players/pro plays but i havent done that for so long. partly i blame getting tourney replays take so much effort, blame monetizing.
is 2017, stop being lame, fuck's sakes. 'Can't wait for the rise of the cakes and humanity's last stand tbqh.'

I only watch pros to see where they place wards and and how they move around the map. My MMR is so terrible that anything else just seems not to apply. Like getting a solo lane is impossible when I play, so anything based on that is a pipedream.

Well pubstars often get put in a variety of lane situations, which I find to be very educational.

EX, when I watch bananaslamjamma, he goes safelane and gets put into 1v2s, 2v2s where your support is useless, 3v1s and 3v2s where your support(s) are useless, 1v1s, etc and the good streamers will talk about the lane and how they are winning it, and why they're losing it if they are losing it.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

when my teammates don't pull through and the laning is too unpredictable and sucks (e.g., too much exp sharing), sometimes i'll do the pull/chainpull myself as a carry just to get that extra efficiency. i also value getting to the point where i can jungle self-sufficiently on a carry highly (i'm pretty sure this is important at high-level play too), so that my game is less dependent on a fucky lane

like when shit is suboptimal it's still better to have some sort of salvaging plan than to just be like "o well this game is suboptimal i'l just wing everything"

Morbid mask good item, it's why I get it fairly early on on almost every carry I play, minus naga/TB, sometimes weaver

There really isnt an elite warder atm kind of sucks. I think Bdiz when he was on EG was thee best warder there was , His laning phase and general Game sense was suspect as fuck but good lord that man spent hours on end in HON and Dota 2 finding warding spots

Superiormoba - aka what DotA would look like with enough region locking to make people think MobaSneyking (Doublelift) is a world class carry
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

I enjoy playing dota (despite russians and shit), but I can't devote enough time to it to get good, I have work; also other hobbies like writing and translating MLP fanfics x]
