For instance Envy grinding out invoker or ember games. It's kind of pointless to practice invoker in scrims if you still don't have his combos down - scrims are where you practice strategies, drafts, etc. moreso than specific hero combos. China has a different mentality though, as the most common mode in ranked there is RD specifically to avoid hero spammers. | ||

So dont worry :D | ||

Max E is better for farming, staying alive and taking objectives. Max W is better for killing. | ||

https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2808431005 This was a difficult game from the beginning due to the lineup that we have - We clearly have worse late game but we were able to get some early kills. My farm was a little bit delayed because they ran some weird silencer mirana offlane instead of the obvious centaur offlane and they went hyper aggro and ignored all CS. They backed off once pudge made some nice plays and I was able to recover, although I was a tiny bit behind what I prefer to be. I kept my eyes on the map and was aware of legions positioning throughout the game and so I never died to her. I split pushed when I could and TPd back to take fights, especially when they dove our base - I wanted to keep pushing for t3 and rax but the opportunity didn't arise. I went for BF -> Manta -> Linkens -> Abyssal -> Butterfly -> Moonshard -> (sell bf) MKB I went linkens so I wasn't just killed from duel every fight. Then abyssal so I could blow up tinker -> My strategy in team fights was to blink abyssal manta ult and I executed this quite well, forcing several tinker buybacks. The issue seemed to be that I just couldn't 1v5. I realize that around 45 min AMs time to win is starting to pass, but it was very difficult to push into tinker, because even when I initiated on him he would buyback and the rest of my team would die. It is very clear from the GPM, when I have triple everybody else on my teams GPM. I died at the end after getting a double kill, bought back, got another double kill, and we stalled for awhile but ultimately lost when nobody on my team had buyback. I hate to blame drafts, especially at my mmr (mid 3k), but to me it seemed like a draft loss. Invoker went QW so I was the only late game that we had. Dazzle made a lot of plays early game that kept us alive but eventually it was too hard to carry. I considered BKB because of hex lock from tinker but I was afraid a duel would just end the fight before it started - This way I still had the chance to blow tinker up at the start with abyssal I figured without dying to duel. Legion went for a halberd to break my linkens and then duel but I was always quick enough to escape - I had a lot of manta dodges of hoof stomps and felt that I played a really clean game. These games happen to me quite regularly - I understand that we couldn't hit our timing before ~45 minutes and with my team constantly being picked off I wasn't able to split push and get the map control that I tried for (in my AM games I can often split push a lane of rax around 30 minutes due to enemy mistakes, but it didn't work out this time because I was so afraid of duel). Do you have any feedback for how I could have played this better? There has to be something I can do. I don't want to blame teammates because at this MMR I feel like I should be able to carry 100% of my games regardless of the situation. | ||

I don't want to blame teammates because at this MMR I feel like I should be able to carry 100% of my games regardless of the situation. I don't see how they went high ground, specially with a pudge on your team. Invoker should have a bkb, but then again he was heavily underfarmed. If invoker had more farm the late game would be yours. It seems silencer owned your 2 supports in the vision game, wich may be the cause that invoker didn't manage to farm. In my opinion you guys should actually wait for them to start and respond with bkbs and counter start, or wait for hooks. Either way you should go on tinker (as hard as it is). With that said I'm probably wrong and my analysis was awful. I'm just another 3k scrub lol | ||

Also there's a sort of warlock/ogre meta going on. | ||

I think silencer, sk, tb and disruptor might be strong in the tournament. | ||

I think towards the latter ends of the tournament, teams my start letting through drow/warlock in order to ban other things favoured by teams. I don't think drow/warlock will figure very heavily in the later stages because everybody is coming up with their own strats against a warlock/drow first pick opening. I think silencer, sk, tb and disruptor might be strong in the tournament. I think Drow will be strong. People will play counter strats and drow will still keep an above average win rate. Disruptor I am sceptical of unless VP makes a very deep run. Oracle, weaver are probably the ones that will stick out more. | ||
