Why the fuck can't people play their roles? Seriously what the fuck? I'm not saying "oh everyone is so shit at their role" but rather the fact that people OUTRIGHT DO NOT play their role. Supports try to steal all the last hits from carry or offlaner even when they're getting free farm. Supports NEVER EVER buy wards let alone make any attempt to help mid. Mids never EVER try to control runes or have ANY map awareness, let alone gank any lane even when playing something like a puck or pudge. Carries NEVER go for kills the support sets up. They just keep farming. Carries also don't fucking last hit. They just FUCKING auto attack everything and push like they're an offline furion.

>>379063376
Dendi had good showings mid, because Navi was the first team to rotate supports mid all the time.
It was sometimes unironically a 3v1 lane mid for the first 5 minutes of the game, of course Dendi had farm. And then they'd lose, but Dendi would look good while losing, because he has items and kills supports for a good K/D ratio.

>>379063082
>killing your own soldiers
Adds for more depth, plus think of them as mindless pawns. Their only goal most likely is to serve you in battle, so I'm sure they don't mind dying to you if it's to defeat the enemy.
>towers too weak to protect you from enemy dives
They're not too weak at all, they're really strong. If you die to enemy dives you over-extended. Towers can easily be used to set up for kills.
>spells too expensive to use more than once ever 5 minutes
Alright now this one is just bullshit, after playing both Dota and League a shit-ton, I will tell you that Dota has far better mana management than League thanks to consumables. If you don't buy consumables, you dumb.
>some heroes have no escape skill early
I think you mean a LOT of heroes have no escape in general. Thank fuck for that, because if every hero in the game had an escape, people would just use those crutches 24/7 instead of actually having good awareness and not over-extending.
If you had said the map was shit, I would've agreed with you, but your reasoning is retarded. Man I miss the old Dota map though.

>pick lina, a spell carry

>out of mana
Nice, nice mana management.
Now as a mage I have to attack physically, because I can only cast once per minute. As a mage.
And when I get enough mana pool and regen to cast often, enemies have magic resistance and immunity items.
DOTA2 is a shitty right click physical damage game, even the most powerful items are 100% physical damage items for right clickers. Right click to win, right click enemy and go take a piss, and come back to see you won the game.
Nice.

>>379063950
Xboct was a good performer back when carries were so defensive, that he surprised people with his aggro.
Navi were a strong team when everyone else was doing 4 protect 1 slow strats, and they were doing a mid game fighting strat. Once people god strategically savvy, Navi couldn't fight on equal terms.

She has her uses but the teams need to be right. You can't carry with her. Either she has a support buddy like skywrath to start her damage up really early or she should be used to counter a carry that's dependant on its skills or is an agi who can manfight her.
>>379065178

>>379064758
Yeah LC is shit against a lineup that goes full 5-man, but with a Blademail and some damage items she's pretty good at catching solo-farming carries
>>379065263
Duel+Blade Mail does what, 500 damage? Its not as strong as you think for ganks.
Its good in teamfights, since you do that 500 in AoE, so to speak, as the enemy unloads on you. You deal your health pool back to the enemy team.
In a gank you only deal how much a single enemy can hit you for with plain attacks.

>>379065409
Learn to contest enemy farm, when to group up early and look for ganks, where to ward in enemy jungle. Always play defensive early on, you're meant to lose offlane, just don't die and try to pick up exp. If you aren't getting any creeps in lane go jungle, pick up blink and then start initiating fights on the map. Communicate with teammates on when to smoke and gank and always ping that you have ult + blink ready

Axe does plenty of damage with blademail and counter helix and that's not even the point. He can lock down multiple heroes giving his team a great opportunity to nuke all called heroes.

Maybe because RTC has been around for a few years, at the top echelons of dota

>>379066425

Also his personality is enjoyable to watch streaming (not to play with though)

She is one of the best ranged right clickers in the game. Her spells are there to fuel her passive and a bit of burst. Also after euls or bloodstone you can spam spells willy nilly.

I've been thinking of spamming oracle from 5k to 6k. How feasible is this plan?
I'm thinking about getting into DotA again.
I stoppped around the time Void got his remodel.
Anything I should be aware of? What's in the current meta?
>>379065415
You dont use spells as skywrath to last hit man unless you absolutely have to. Bitch has decent damage, retarded movespeed and int gain. Probably one of the best lvl 1 harasser in the game.
>>379067240
not that anon but now is there any other build for bh besides pos4 support? i've seen a guy tryharding so much in one of my game but still just feeds and in the end just go dagon build.
pretty sad seeing bh nerfed to the ground like this
>>379067194
If you die a lot, they will report you for feeding regardless of reason.
Hell people will report and threaten feeding for you running away from a fight you can't win
>>379067767
I love slacks but you have to admit a lot of his loregasm bit is waaay too far into 'overreaching headcanon' territory, so you can't really call it the lore

>>379065393
What other item for 2k gives 500 dmg though? Blademail is also always good against the carry throughout the game and one of the reasons axe is kinda borked because of the armor stuff makes him take no damage but still reflects everything
>>379068141
>carry and his supportcuck kills you
>>379063089
>that carry that misses out on easy kills because getting +47 gold and +23 xp is better than getting FB

I've been on both ends and there is nothing more frustrating than watching some dumb cuck miss four last hits in a row and not capitalize on a sub 200 hp hero kill.
Especially when I'm playing support for their stupid ass.

Don't sit in offlane after 6 unless there is a huge creep wave coming for your tower. Depending on enemy lineup (trilane) consider warding your own cliff or entrance to your jungle and just get iron talon and buckler asap and farm. Pudge support in trilane is a death sentence unless they fuck up creep equilibrium
Don't mind me guys, just shilling the second best stick after magic stick in the game
What heroes do you have your highest winrate with?
For me it's Omni. For some reason I am really good at just magic shielding and healing and GLOBAL ULTING with Agh's and saving people's lives.
Why does it seem like I can't lose when I pick him?

Why pick omni when you can pick the meta pos5 heroes like Tree/Warlock/Ogre/CM ? Its how I got to 5k lol
>>379069040
hots still has some carries. new tyrande and alarak come to mind
>>379064464
Fantasy games generally have fantasy races/creatures in it
>>379065882
Just the state of the patch. frog basically left him untouched.
Still, you can carry pretty hard with him if you managed to outfarm the enemy's carry.
>>379069094
>>379069094
To be fair I haven't played in like a year. Didn't know he was considered a free win, thought I was just playing support really well.

He still has a 55%~ish winrate in every skill bracket, but before he got nerfed it was at like 60% in every skill bracket. Repel used to last 12 seconds and have a 14 second cooldown. A 2 second downtime on spell immunity. That shit was retarded.
He's still a pubstomp hero who almost never gets picked in competitive play.

You are not the kind of people OP is talking about. The ones that instalock LC, call jungle, throw a pissfit if they don't get the rune, use the shrine in the first 45 seconds, then spend the next 30 minutes AFK farming and pinging every time someone else dies.

How many last hits should I be getting 1v0 mid using only basic attack? I can't get above 60-70
If dota were to get movie adaptations:
1st movie: Story is an introduction. Good guys are drow ranger, dragon knight, tiny, sniper, juggernaut, crystal maiden, and ursa. Neutral characters encountered are sven, bounty hunter, luna, and invoker. Main villain is Leshrac who is working alongside Necrophos and Pugna to take over the ancients and bring eternal torture to everyone. They also have a group of villains working for them who consist of sand king, medusa, lion, batrider, nightstalker, tidehunter, and spirit breaker.
2nd Movie: Story revolves around the demons and the conflict between Doom and Shadow demon. The entire hero team returns. New good guys include kunkka, Enchantress, treant, and tusk. Rubick, oracle, lycan, wraith king, and death prophet are neutral. Doom, terrorblade, lion, and shadow fiend are the first villain team. Shadow demon, warlock, queen of pain, lifestealer, and abaddon are the other team. Storm, fire and earth spirit also aid the heroes. Legion commander also joins in during the final fight with Doom.
>>379063082
>kill your own soldiers
Soldiers is too far. Creeps aren't capable of intelligent thought, they walk forward and they attack things. It's all they do. Killing one of them means nothing but saves the enemy from getting gold.
>towers too weak
Towers are fine. If you're getting dived that means you're probably playing an inappropriate hero for the lane your in. If you're doing 3v1 with solo Crystal Maiden, no shit you're getting dived and killed.
>spells too expensive
Only some spells, and usually really good early game spells like stuns. The increased proportional mana cost is important because, unlike LoL and other ASSFAGGOTS for babies, stuns in Dota actually mean shit. They usually last a decent amount even in early game, unlike stuns in other games which are .5 seconds long.
>some heroes have no escape skill
Oh no you might get caught and die. How terrible. Maybe don't be shit at video games.
>>379067959
The PA / Specter lore has been well known tho. I think original DotA had Specter be the shadow of PA.

>reinstall on a whim a month ago, jump straight into ranked

What the fuck happened, the ranks don't mean what they did when they came out. I remember when 4k was sort of "the line" for being an overall decent (but not truly great) player like reaching Diamond in LoL/SC2/Overwatch. It must be at least 4.5k now.
So when are they releasing a new hero and who is it going to be?

>>379073195
but Dota already has a Waterniggerling
>>379073253
MMR can't be inflated, for every +25 someone gets -25, the MMR average is literally the same every time

And like 6 demon characters, and a handful of assassins, etc.
>>379073195
is it really water spirit?

You calibrated too low and/or played similar games in the meantime and got better and/or kept up with watching pro dota. Out of all esports I think dota skills tend to decay the least, and this is reflected in how there are no seasons or resets or MMR decay.
>>379073253

Basic teamwork: If your team is 4 man in a lane you should do one of two things.

>go to the lane and hide out so you can have the element of surprise on the enemy team, who last saw you in another lane
I swear to fuck if your team is 4 manning in a lane and pushing and you're punching fucking satyrs you deserve all the abuse you get.

In 10 minutes you should get at least 100. To practice this go into a custom game and pick Shadow Fiend. Don't level up any abilities or stats. No items. Just attack when you think you can get the last hit. 100 in 10.

Yeah that.
>>379074316
1) It (used) to be 82 not 84
2) There is now an extra 2 creeps every minute mid for a total of 102 creeps.
3) Even when there was only 82 creeps, it's not hard at all to get 100 creeps in 10 minutes by farming the jungle between waves. With the extra lane creeps 120 in 10 minutes is not unreasonable.

How to get 100 LH in 10 minutes though? I already do the practice thing. I mean only from lane.
There are some problems. For example sometimes two creeps will die in succession faster than my attack speed (around 1.4 seconds for most heroes). So it isn't possible to get both last hits. How do I prevent this?
Also sometimes my side will have 2 or 3 ranged creeps all attacking the same target at the same time so they are doing over 100 damage at once and it becomes literally impossible to last hit, since I only have like 45 damage and they are killing off the 70 hp creep

You prep one by auto-attacking it a few times to get it ahead.

But then I push the lane and everything goes downhill from there

You auto-attack one of your own creeps an equal or greater amount of times.

How do you shut down jungle legion? Considering it's usually a bit waste or time to try to go on an afk jungler since it's usually not even worth losing out on lane exp and gold to MAYBE get the kill, let alone ward in the first place being dangerous

Spoilers: it's not
Pick Bounty Hunter. Buy wards. Good luck tavarisch.

>How do you shut down jungle legion?
pick a roamer
a bounty or riki camping the legion's jungle (with the occasional safelane gank) will render her almost completely useless

How do I know when to pick bounty and when to pick Riki?
>>379077768
Riki is generally stronger
Riki = AoE silence disable
BH = Nuke damage, bonus gold
The AoE silence is generally better utility then the nuke.

draft winter wyvern and just stop all legions ults

>3k-4k = okay players, average of the community on reddit/d2g/etc
You vastly overestimate both reddit and d2g

Because it's not game breaking when Legion, or god forbid Alchemist, spill out of the jungle at minute 6 with ultis, full boots and a double damage rune.
