Melee barracks is always the one on the bottom and/or right for both sides. | ||

Much harder to defend/push against 4 super creep than 1, meaning enemy gets stuck inside base. Reduces enemy income as well since you're getting reduced experience and gold from four, rather than one. Melee barracks is always the one on the bottom and/or right for both sides. It's actually almost always going to be more than 4 super creeps unless you rax a lane before 34:00. | ||

I want to improve my picking skills but I never really understand the drafting stage in pro games (why is this team picking this hero? Why did they ban this hero etc) | ||

Yes. if you're pushing up the ramp and you're unsure whether you're going to be able to take a rax or not (maybe someone is respawning soon), always go for the ranged rax for this reason. It goes down a lot quicker than the melee. | ||

I want to improve my picking skills but I never really understand the drafting stage in pro games (why is this team picking this hero? Why did they ban this hero etc) Unfortunately its not that easy. No team looks at the other team picking Gyro and go "ok, now we pick hero X to counter him!". Its a lot more about the synergy of the heroes in question, what roles you're trying to fill, and how you're going to lane them. Getting good at picking is actually one of the harder skills to learn in this game. Watching progames and seeing what they pick is usually a good indication of what you should be picking for your team as well, providing that everyone can play the hero you choose for them that is. | ||

I jungle bat, team yellls at me to gank before level 6 or blink dagger because "they outcarry us", and "bat doesnt need lasso, it helps but u can still kill without it" then blames the entire game on me not ganking early. first of all, that is some really funny stuff hahaha But just so you know your not in the qq thread. | ||

I've been wanting to learn the hero and started practicing in bot game but can't seem to get ahold of the meld strike mechanics. If you attack to break the meld then your attack will do bonus damage and reduce the target's armor. If you do anything else then you lose the meld buff making you visible and lose the meld strike. | ||

This means that you have to break the invis by attacking someone in range to get the damage, which typically means you need at least 1 rank of Psi Blades for this to be practical. | ||
