I see people refer to games being in high/very high matchmaking all the time. Does this refer to some actual brackets that can be checked or is it just a rough guess people throw around?

well if you think about it, when a undying lands multiple decays on same heroes their overall health pool is decreased due to the strength steal... so i guess more of the HP bar is taken out since now they have a smaller health pool. hope that's what you mean

If you go to Watch - > Recent Games and type in your dota2 name, you can select "normal" "high" or "very high" to see which one youre recent games are falling into. there's supposedly brackets inside of those settings, which determines why some very high games are located on the Watch Live Games section or not

@decay
It looks bigger because the str drain makes their healthbar smaller, which makes damage look bigger.

why would u run od support when u can run sd support

Obviously you keep the Int difference between OD and their key heroes less than 10/30/50 so you can get the massive 75% mana burn out of his ult.


That's part of it yeah. I laned him as a hard babysitter. He steals int and makes it hard for the opponent to use spells. Acts as a free, passive KOTL when you get a few levels in aura, and put 1 lvl in orb and you can harass the crap out of your enemy laner. You don't build too much int, and when the teamfights happen you just drop your ult and suddenly no one has mana to do anything. Really no need to try and insta-gib everyone.

but he still doesnt have any hard disable, beyond his ult, his teamfight presence is non existent

You generally want supports who are useful while being item/level dependent.

OD is none of those things.

One of the assumptions of this thread is that a poster will search for the answer themselves before asking.

Something that can easily be tested by yourself in game arguably counts as something that can be found by searching.

Any recommendations on how to win as a solo AM against a solo darkseer lane. I went PMS + gg and was fed tango salve by teammates, and went first point mana break for harassment, but it felt really difficult and not really winnable by AM until he gets a bunch of levels. Any recommendations for strategy, item / stat builds?

You did everything right. Need help early on until you have a level/item advantage.

Buy Tranquils, level Spell Shield.

Other than that, yeah it's a really difficult lane and typically the AM shouldn't be left solo until he has Tranqs + enough Spell Shield to handle the lane.

if you know you're 1v1 ds you shouldn't start pms gg
open with more regen and get pooled a bit of extra regen, you need enough to get tranqs and then you should be ok
if this is a cm game it's a lot easier to just pick a solo safe that crushes ds like luna or sf if you want freefarm on a carry

luna and sf crushes ds? thats a first.

as for am vs ds, if you got pooled regen it should be more than easy. ams attack animation is much faster, level manaburn and click him if you can avoid getting ionshelled by the creep. when hes oom call for a gank and kill him.

Well, we drafted the AM because we wanted a hefty amount of split push (against DS Magnus Void Jakiro Rubick), so we drafted a strong trilane and put AM on the solo lane (trilane won heftily). We eventually won the game, but my BF + tranqs was delayed until 18 mins (though it forced the ds to lane with me pretty much the entire time while they were getting destroyed bottom). I guess maybe next time I should go tango stout (+a set of fed tangos and a salve) RoP and 2 gg? Was it a bad idea to pick up a RoH before tranqs in that situation? And skill build either 1/1/1 and stats, or 1/1/3?

You need the stout because you're guaranteed to be taking a bunch of creep damage.
