Assuming a hero can only go in one role. Is mid, support, and carry enough or do I need semicarry? Do I need to learn a ranged carry? | ||

But really, why would you only want to learn as few as possible? They have 2-4 abilities each, its not like its a huge time commitment to "learn" a lot of the heroes. You should probably focus on playing heroes you enjoy. If thats 1 or 50, up to you. | ||

The goal is to jump into ranked with 2 feet and see how far I can get so I wanted to focus my practice, but I guess there's no need to rush things. | ||

Do I need to learn a ranged carry? When you first start out, I wouldn't worry about roles. You can pretty much play anything you want. | ||

Well if you want to see how far you can get quickly, picking one hero is just massing games on it is probably not a bad idea. For the long run you might not learn as much playing only one hero, but its definitely a legit way to improve your rating fast if thats your goal. For that purpose you should probably either be prepared to insta-lock the hero and call your preferred lane every game. Or if you dont want to be that kind of guy (many are, some might be annoyed by them but they are definitely out there), pick a hero as versatile as possible. Or you can of course, as your initial question suggests, learn some ~3 heroes so you can fill any role your team might need. | ||

With max aura you become annoying lanebully support who'll make sure every early skirmish starts with you having more HP, in midlane max death pulse and kill the opponent at 6 or as the safelane farmer stay forever on the lane with few levels in sadist. Go phase/treads ->mek ->bloodstone/pipe/hex/shivas whatever, pretty much any utility items work on him and just with your Q you'll be keeping your teammates alive in fights. Good advice, you wont believe how many times I see a necrolyte lvl heartstopper and promptly lose the lane because he just gets killed... | ||

How does all the pro player play 8+ hours or even crazy 24 hours streaming session? It varies from person to person but i find taking a few minutes breaks every few games to be really helpful. Go pour yourself a drink, do some stretches, maybe go out for a breath of fresh air. If you can;t stay focused on one thing for very long, break it up so you never have to stay focused for very long, just kinda long :> | ||

You can open a private lobby, select "Reverse Captains Mode" and play. "Same rules as Captains Mode, except after the captains have chosen their heroes, players will be forced to pick from the other team's choices." | ||
