Some heroes that aren't known for their ganking might be super valuable in the right situations. Let's say a tusk with the perfect shard block, or a glimpse on Disruptor. For carries good at level 1 gank assisting (or bounty rune contest), I would say burst damage is important Juggernaut, Sniper, Chaos Knight, Tiny, Bristleback, Ursa | ||

Slark is good in safelane 2v1 or 3v1 scenarios. He's not good at contesting runes at lvl 1. You'll only get kills because your opponents were being stupid/greedy. He has terrible stats so the only way you're getting kills is in one-sided skirmishes. The only thing Gyro has to offer @ lvl 1 is Rocket barrage and again, if you could kill someone @ lvl 1 with Gyro, you probably could've done so with most other heroes who have anything useful to offer @ lvl 1. | ||

What heroes should i be usually be playing if i don't just wanna increase my mmr but i also wanna improve too ? I usually play farming core either mid or safelane. Generally just cores that farm. naga , meepo, TA , Storm, Doom(if all lanes are taken ), mirana , SF, ember , lina You can climb the ladder with almost any hero that can realistically snowball. That said, if you want to improve while grinding MMR, you should look into heroes that require skillsets that transfer to other heroes. So unique heroes that have to be specialized aren't the most promising. I would consider stuff like Meepo cheesy because spamming Meepo doesn't really help you understand the game better compared to other 'more standard' heroes. And a lot of your wins will be thanks to your opponents disrespecting your hero's capabilities. Stick to aggressive heroes if you can. Naga is not fun to play with nor to play against. Fun factor aside though, all the way to the top skill bracket, there are holes in pubs. Playing elusive farm heroes doesn't allow you to learn how to recognize these holes in the game and punish them. Heroes you can comfortably first pick are good. It allows you to stick to an agenda instead of trying to get the best fit for each game by last picking since you're going to end up all over the place that way. QoP, Storm, TA, Shadow Fiend, Sniper, Juggernaut, Void etc. Honestly anything that you're willing to stick to is fine. | ||

It's my most played hero and probably my best. i don't really wanna pick void/juggernaut/sniper if possible .. but i'll stick to TA/sf/qop/storm i guess .. Thanks  | ||

Onto my question! Me and my friend are both not very good at this game, but we play a lot together and have as much fun as we can. We have a bit so-so success though, so what I want to ask is what are some very strong duo lanes? Even if they aren't necessarily all that viable in higher level play. Things along the lines of Centaur/Bane. | ||

Lina CM: quadruple nuke @ lvl 2 (or 3) depending on when CM takes aura Wisp + anything aggressive: Gyro Bristle CK Ember Weaver Abaddon: Classic combo with lots of dive potential as well as turn around Pudge Omni: Nasty combo that does well at all stages of the game Axe Sky: strong lane and a natural duo | ||

All of these sound perfect, gonna try them out and hopefully have a lot of fun later today. Thank you very much, and good luck in the TI5 qualifiers! | ||

I read EternaLEnVy's blog and he talked about having Nexon as host for a major and how by doing so it could potential promote DotA2 in Korea. Say Nexon was a host for one of the majors do you think more Koreans could potentially get interested in DotA2 and as a result help increase the popularity of the game in the country? | ||

I think it's clear now that throwing money at the game won't directly help the game's popularity. A lot of casual players who are already playing DotA don't pay attention to tournaments. Hosting a major won't interest anyone who wasn't already following the competitive scene anyway. | ||

There are players in Korea who have potential, but they don't have the balls to go competitive because that would mean expectations would follow and they're going to have to accept the fact that they're going to face failure (at least in the beginning) and realize that a fully functional team is not nearly as easy as it looks. Typical twitch chat mentality in every region. I won't name any individuals who could have but didn't break out into the scene because I think going competitive on a skill level isn't so hard. It's all about being mature enough and being self-aware. | ||
