Starcraft Solution: Given a similar problem statement in starcraft terms, a potential mental checklist would be "check supply count, build supply depot, build scvs, build marines, enough barracks? build command center?" and so on and so forth. You would attempt to constantly remind yourself of these statements until they become ingrained in your gameplay. I'm hoping for something similar if possible. Thanks for your help all! | ||

Thanks for your help all! this kind of question has been asked a lot in this thread. should go through some of the pages and have a look firstly, depends what role youre playing. im assuming youre a carry because you obviously want to farm, in which case you shouldnt be roaming around so much. pushing lanes is something a carry does well, but he just pushes the lane hes in (and only at the right time. dont just push the lane like crazy) just make sure at all times youre killing creeps, be it jungles or lane. and making sure your mechanics are up to scratch also help a lot | ||

While she had been briefly removed after her buff, she was put back in the next version and played several times in SEA/China DotA1 tournaments. While an extremely strong hero, she's not seen to be first pick/first ban status and requires a team to be built around her to be effective, even in the current Dota2 pool I'd likely pick troll over her in most situations. | ||

I find it hard to move from Leauge's jungle system to dota's (although some champions are extremely easy to jungle with). i'm sometimes hesitant to recommend dotafire guides, but this one has ~50,000 views and is actually quite comprehensive, and the author is from LoL background, so he makes a few comparison/differences in there http://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/guide/jungling-101-what-you-need-to-know-935 another one i just found on PlayDota is slightly less visually-appealing but still has good points for learning to jungle http://www.playdota.com/learn/jungle hope this helps | ||

Thanks for your help all! that would depend on your role! if you're a hard carry (luna, antimage, faceless void, naix, etc) you'll want to roam less, and focus on farming for longer. if youre expected to get tons of farm, your team should also expect to have to push/defend without you for some time while you get your items and gold if you're basically any other type of hero, farm when you can in lanes, but your main goal should be trying to give the hard carry time to farm and get up what they need to just crush the other team in late game. | ||

why does Outworld Destroyer make such few appearances in professional level games? when i see it get picked up from time to time, it crushes mid, doesn't require much in the way of high-level items to be game-changing, and can provide a ton of possible mana regeneration (with skill) as well as doing huge amounts of damage with the orb. he has an escape/disabler, great orb damage, mana regeneration, and a ultimate that can be devastating. so why isn't he picked more!? | ||

No one builds bkb in pubs. In pro games it's the norm and he cannot win many carry vs carry fights. He is also very easy to gank and hasn't got rune control due to his lack of pushing power and overall mobility. He cannot flash farm as effectively as most carries, too. That said he still dominates the early and mid game - and he's getting a bit of play recently. Liquid plays him quite a bit from what I've seen. | ||

Main reasons why OD is not picked as much - Needs items to get online, the meta-game dictates heroes who can fight midgame(such as Luna), OD can't. Your ultimate doesn't do enough damage and neither do your Orbs without items. He is a strong 1v1 laner but not a strong teamfighter early on. - BKB removes all of his damage, you can not Arcane Orb a BKBed target nor can you ulti him. - Slow farmer, OD has no splash and thus no ability to flashfarm the jungles and jump inbetween. - No Escape, OD has no escape(Imprisonment doesn't count) and as such he can not splitpush effectivly as other heroes can and is subject to ganks. - Can not farm (stacked) Ancients - Nyx Assasin, if the enemy team has one, don't bother picking OD beccause you will get manaburned for more then 500 damage. That being said, the hero has good potential(Liquid has used it to great effect in combination with Tinker) but it has its flaws. | ||

OD shouldn't be 1st position carry anyway, he hits hardest at lvl 11~13 and is absurdly strong in lane vs most mids. He's a midgame powerhouse that works exceptionally well with the right team comp. Noone plays OD to carry lategame since the real problems for him are just how he gets shat on lategame due to BKB and squishy-ness. | ||

Any time marks, specific things I need to know for melee/ranged heroes and if I get the ghost (ranged slow) creep?
