You need to accept that you're going to lose a few lanes against an equally skilled opponent - namely qop, viper, and razor. this is acceptable because lanaya farms much faster than any of these heroes, and does more with her farm.

A large part of why spamming one hero is so good for developing your ability as a player anyway is that it forces you to learn to outplay in disadvantaged lanes.

The vast majority of times, lanes can be won by playing sufficiently better than your opponent. Spamming one hero, even one with lopsided bad matchups, forces you to learn to do this, rather than just picking even-or-better matchups and coasting every game on an advantage.

hi guys!

I'm an ancient dota 1 player.
Since my kids now bigger and able to take care of themselves, I finally got my freedom to play dota.
So i downloaded it and played it. Apparently my rusty finger can't compete with young'uns.


Is there any place/room/games/server with more....let's say..a colourful and brighter atmosphere for rusty player like me?

Thanks!

i recommend trying to be vocal in games and adding anyone who appears to be friendly to your friends list and grouping with them unranked

How should I play in a game where I'm position 1 and the rest of the team are 4 turkish guys? I have a terrible start against dual offlane since all I have is a "Kunkka support" as in someone who buys the courier and stands in exp range for the first 15 minutes. So because I am Gyro and we have a techies and a mid es who seem to be doing well, I rush HoD and start stacking ancients. While buying wards so that I can actually farm safely. I don't know what my team wants me to do but in the end techies and es lose their streaks to enemy jugger and suddenly I have no timing when I can beat the enemy lineup.

Should I just stop trying to farm and follow my team around the whole game? I didn't think we had that great building damage. Our NP got desolator at some point but I didn't see him splitpushing at all either. The enemy team also had a pretty good base defence lineup.

if you have very good map awareness i.e. you are watching your team heroes every few seconds and know exactly what they are doing, why they are doing it, and what they are going to do next, you should be able to coordinate yourself to supplement them. the chances are they are trying to do *something* , so figure out what that is and get on board before they feed. 5 man is pretty strong especially with gyro and maybe NP trees to protect you from jug ult. feel free to bring a smoke

one of the hallmarks of a high lv player is fast apm to check other players on their map frequently and quickly

q: anyone got a decent video for dendi radiant block , if people still bother to do it?

Guys, I'm back.

Quick question: What's the proper way to engage a Terrorblade?

If you hit him too much he sunders and kills you instantly. If you don't hit him enough you just die. Is there like a magic trick here I'm not seeing (a certain item etc.) or do you basically just have to get him down to half health and then figure out a way to stun him / prevent him from sundering?

Played a 90 minute game that we only won becuse Medusa. But this Terrorblade was raping us for the first 30 minutes at least.

As Vengeful Spirit I was just trying to stun him when it looked like he was about to Sunder and swapping out my low health carries right after sunder if he got it off. Is that about right?

Early game when his health is low it's generally not that hard to burst through his health pool in stuns/silences before he can sunder. Just dont hit him all alone by yourself if you cant finish the job. Later when he has skadi/bkb or similar and bursting becomes hard either try to delay disables for when he goes low (dont stun him from 100->50% health and hit him from 50->0, hit him from 100->50 and stun him from 50->0) or ignore him in fights and kill him last when the a good sunder doesnt change anything.

Disables, and it helps if you have ranged dps heroes

So would picks like VS, Windranger, Drow, Sniper be good?

No they lack a lot of AoE damage to clear illusions. They aren't very in his face either. You want heroes that can force fights and be very in your face early because terrorblade later into the game is scary.

Heroes that are very in your face like blink wraith king / Brewmaster / centaur / tidehunter. And people who clear illusions well like Timbersaw / QoP is good.

High burst + High Control + Heroes that can be very aggressive early-mid game is what you want. If he gets to Manta + Skadi + BKB the game is infinitely much more difficult.

Drow/Sniper/VS all have too little burst and illusion clearing abilites.

13-20 min is a pretty large range.. But completely free farmed no harassment at all you could probably do it by 13-14 min

I suppose you could play the "limited heroes" mode (or some other name to that effect), in which everyone is limited to play their least played heroes. In that case, everyone is a relative newb.
Best or nothing.

you're thinking of least played. limited heroes is its own mode, aimed at new players where it limits the hero pool to some of the easiest heroes. it's kind of a bugged and broken mode as leavers become invincible bots that the team can control

Oh god I forgot about that part of limited heroes

It's so bad

yeah it's because of that i tell new players not to bother. dota is hard enough to learn without having to deal with invincible heroes

Guys...

Total noob question (2.2k) but is this viable: Techies + Rubick?

Techies plants mines, Rubick drops people on them.

I've done something pretty similar with VS and swap but this seems like you can do it much earlier which is an advantage.

lol sounds legit :D
another one is magnus using charge to put people into mines
btw rubick can drop people onto cliffs so they are stuck there


edit: wtf is scripting? i went 18-3 on lina before we lost and this lich is raging the whole time that i'm scripting and to enjoy my reports. i know you can script invoker if you ...don't want to learn dota....but htf can you script fucking lina?


edit2: out of curiosity, how "big" is LoL compared to dota now? are the insane 400,000 viewer chinese streams like yyf and burning (or whoever) botted up or for real?
