I disagree, you can get thwt attack speed but BoT gives you the power to split push like a God damn Nature's Profit. Tack on an octarine or refresher, and suddenly Underlord has a global presence. Imagine a Silver Edge Underlord coming out of fucking nowhere with 200+ atrophy aura

Fuck off.
If the enemy team has nothing because they got fucked up the ass during laning game, not pushing should be a diagnosable sign of mental retardation

Enemy team had brown boots and a basi at 20 minutes. We take a tower and back off as they respawn
Our carries then sit in OUR jungle waiting for creeps to respawn
The enemy team farms back into the game and then shits on us because they were 5 carries and our brain dead carries wouldn't get their shit together

I honestly don't know why I play this game when ONE person can totally ruin the game

>>
>>171360210
Carrying true sight is already a good way to abuse your bracket as people do believe invisibility to be broken so nobody will expect you to actually carry dust.

Also there is a high chance that your teammates will not even look at the map so obs are not always necessary, a rule of thumb is to buy wards the first ten minutes so you know if your team actually uses them, if they aren't using the vision just stop buying them and spend your money somewhere else.

Easiest way to escale is to main mid (as a pos. not a single hero) and abuse the enemy feeders more than the enemy abuse yours, however consider that for this to happen you have to truly be the best player in the game and in general better than your average shitter (protip: if you cannot win 1v1 mid on a regular basis then you are probably in the bracket that you deserve).

A quick (but not easy) way to improve is by refining your mechanical skills, people are obsesed with teamwork and rotations and builds but in lower brackets everyone is stupid so outfarming the enemy usually has more impact.

Remember, 100% winrate is impossible, you are aiming for over 50%

Your target is to win more than 50% of your games, if you do then your MMR will rise, how slow or quick depends on your winrate, but above 50% means it will be raising.

You can no longer get calibrated at 4k.

>unless you get a stack of ppl as willing to concentrate on a series of games you will never ever get higher rates than say, 5k 50% wr?
There are so many things wrong with this statement that I don't even feel like explaining, I will just say that if it was true then Miracle and other getting 9k would be impossible.

I would transition to a core if my team needs right click, but what's the point of playing support in such a team anyway?

If you can do that, good for you, but I don't bother. I usually play position 1, but when I play support I go full support.

in the end, if you're around 4k, you have 50% wr. you can push that number higher.

That's why I'm assuming you're playing the support role half-assedly.

>can i be skeptical since your build is as expensive as mine
No, it's not. All a support venge needs to be useful is boots, windlace, stick, force staff, everything else I buy is the leftover money from buying wards, dust and smoke.

If you're transitioning to a core, you need to be as least as farmed as the weakest enemy core if you want to be effective.

Finally, if you're going for core items as a support right from the start, you're missing a lot of opportunities to turn the game in your favor early on.

Getting basi+tangoes as starting items might seem economically efficient, but getting boots tango (or windlace courier tango smoke) as a roamer might get your mid first blood.

What's his weakness?
Blade flurry clears out mobs to tank omnislash, he omnislashes. This happens every single game no matter what.

Solid stats, great autos, amazing abilities for pushing, for farming, for killing at all stages of the game. Only downside is a low mana pool as though that has mattered since 2012.

Don't worry, Valve doesn't realize the more they cater to Reddit, the faster the playerbase drops.

They keep doing this, Dota 2 will die for good and all they'll have to show for it is worthless upvotes and internet "karma" and whatever change Redditors have in their pockets to throw at Valve.

And I'll be here to watch this ALL blow up in Valve's faces and stroking my dick -when- and -while- it happens.

I can only wish the worst to happen to the lives of all of the Dota 2 team even after this game is dead and gone. Go fuck yourselves.

Oh, well we're mostly in the same boat regarding singleplayer stuff then.

For online games, I've been playing Shadowverse and trying out Elder Scrolls Legends. At least there, when I lose, it's all on me or my deck and it doesn't take an hour to finish a lost game.

Was gonna try out Smite but I read that they now force you to install some kind of shady anti-cheat, so I'm staying away.

>>
>>171374951

It's funny because when I watch high level players like Waga, BSJ, Bulldog play, they sometimes have only 1 ward on the map at a time for a long-ass time and it doesn't bother any of them on the team and they can play just fine like that. These are ranked matches too, mind you.

Filling the map with wards is mostly a low mmr, or pro match thing. High-level players have learned to play without depending on wards.
>>
>>171375118
the thing with meepo is all the difficulty is in the micro and farming efficiency, in terms of understanding when to use spells / items and positioning in fights he's not as bad as heroes like invoker or arc warden

just spam the shit out of him in bots and unranked until you feel comfortable on him
>>
>>171375146
Difference is trench tier """supports""" don't know where to ward so they need 3 times as wards to be as effective.
But yeah as you said you mostly need like 1 ward at a time usually, besides when there's a specific hero on the other team that warrants more wards.

I think it's because dewarding is a lot more common in higher levels, and people know how to deward, and deduce ward locations based off of hero movement, so it is hard to find a good ward spot that is both useful, and is hard to deward

>Difference is trench tier """supports""" don't know where to ward so they need 3 times as wards to be as effective.
that's one thing, another is that core players stay too long in the laning phase before focusing on objectives or joining fights leading to an objective being taken
just the other night some fool picked am, left the lane to farm jungle everytime our creepwave pushed the tower @ 10+ minutes instead of taking it down when the rest of us were dominating 4v5 everywhere else on the map
at 30 minutes he's still jungling, and he starts bitching because of wards
in that scenario you lose either way because you don't have any gold since you're losing all teamfights and there are no objectives being taken

These new skins are getting too fucking flashy.
The amount of visual clutter is just retarded on the Jugg arcana.

LoL might be a piece of shit game but at least their skins are conservative enough to fit in with the gameplay. This Juggernaut arcana shit is literally disruptive.

>The best way to fix this is to implement a system similar to that from Hearthstone where all players are reset monthly.
YEAH LET'S FORCIBLY REMOVE THOSE POINTS PEOPLE GRINDED FOR MONTHS SURELY NO ONE WILL OBJECT OR DROP THAT SHITTY GAME ALTOGETHER
>For a player to improve at Dota, they MUST be in games with other great players.
wrong, to improve you should play against great players
>But, if that person was allowed to play many games with 5k player, they would acclimate themselves to the 5k playstyle and end up belonging at 5k MMR.
BECAUSE THAT WORKS SO WELL FOR BOOSTED ACCOUNTS AND IT'S NOT LIKE THEY LOSE 90% OF THEIR GAMES
>99% of players lower than 4k MMR literally NEVER do trilanes.
so are 5k+ players and that's because trilanes are shit and irrelevant unless enemy team goes aggro trilane
>But if MMR was reset, suddenly they may see a trilane and their assumptions about how the game is played would be broken.
why would it change, only 5-10% of players are 4k or higher, they won't have much impact on pub meta
>They would have to adapt to playing against trilanes for the first time in their lives.
no they won't, they'll still be shitty players and their trilanes will end up in xp-starved carry and barely hindered offlaner
>The result is everyone is forced to improve at the game.
playing against shitters won't help good player improve

what will happen in reality if this system will be implemented:
>some percentage of players will stop playing game, not sure how big it will be, may be around 10-15%
>2k shitters will end every game with 0-20 score and will start leaving too since losing games isn't fun at all
>3k-4.5k shitters (which is around 80% of playerbase) will stay shitters
>everyone higher will end their games with 40-0 score and their skill will go dull after playing against shitters for so much time and they probably will start leaving too

The chinese teams wont play interesting dota, a lot of them are t2. this major will be classic t2 vs t2 are good games, t2s get stomped by t1s, then t1s vs t1s. But maybe an underdog like AF suprises everyone

Also, this patch is more of a farming one, so it will be interesting to see how that works as the meta develops

i doubt that 2 groups will made any difference, the only chance to salvage that single elimination bullshit is single group round robin bo1 or something similar, but that's more than 200 games, i doubt that valve will go for group stage that long
in other words kiev major will be like boston one or even worse, but epicenter aka goodMajor will happen soon after it

There's being ahead, and then there's being ahead without key items. I was playing Cent, their team had carry CK. We were ahead, we just took Rosh, but we weren't ready to go HG against Manta/Armlet CK who shrekt us with his 50 illusions. I had no aghs yet and I told them to hold off the push until I got it. They don't listen, get 4 man wiped, then I get blamed. They keep trying to fight which further delays my aghs. I finally get aghs and my bs jungle gets his mjollnir and we finally finish the damn game. This Viper who didn't itemize for the CK (manta/pike/blademail) kept autistic screeching calling me 1k. He's 3k after 4000+ games so he must be right.

just build whatever items give the most movement speed and a soul ring so you dont have to worry about mana

then go ganking and push after you get a kill

>but we weren't ready to go HG against Manta/Armlet CK
Why? You just save your aoe nukes until he ulties, and then there is a good chance his EHP isn't high enough to allow the illusions to live.

If you are really scared: It also means you can split push, take all the outer towers
>Centaur Aghs
I agree its a good initation tool, but its glorified. All it allows is extreme counter initiation, or some extremely shallow running into enemy team at little risk.
There is a good chance you lost that "4 v 5" teamfight because you either lacked Centaurs AOE damage, stuns, or because your team was caught out of position.

why people didn't try building armlet instead of memesabre for slark by the way
cheaper, gives much more damage and survivabilty and slightly less attack speed and slark doesn't care much for additional mana

now that TPs are so cheap, what if tinkers buy blink first and then bots?

>>171395689
Personally, I always find myself a little starved for mana on Slark, even if I get an Aquila. I don't build Echo Saber, though, I think there are better items for Slark. I think the next time I play him I'll try a Soul Ring.

Alright lads.


I gave up playing DOTA a couple of years ago because I realised I wasn't playing any other games. I've decided to get back into it as it seems like a great time to be playing right now, so I downloaded it earlier today. Now, I have been watching dota streams almost every day since then. I watch Waga and Pyrionflax, so if anything, I'm more knowledgeable about the game now than I ever was. I Was just wondering if anyone had any tips/advice/hero recommendations for me to play to get back into playing DOTA 2.


I used to play, almost exclusively- Clockwerk/Tidehunter/Bounty Hunter/KOTL and Treant protector, so they were the heroes I was planning on picking back up when I get into playing later on this evening.


If anyone has any sort of input, I'd totally love to hear it, Thanks!

>>
How do I get better at the typical mid pubstomp heroes that need pretty good mechanics/farming patterns to do well? Heroes like SF, storm, TA, alch, invoker, ember. I usually play roamer/offlane/support but mid has been available in a few of my recent games and It's my worst role by far, I really don't want to ruin tons of games before I get better.

I'm a very defensive laner, and am quite bad at knowing when to stay in lane vs jungling, vs tping elsewhere to push. I watch good mid players, but my games are so different/varied that I can't emulate them all that well (we do/don't have a jungler, either team has a roamer, getting out csed and behind on xp slowing my jungle speed/safety, lane matchups that completely change the way you play, etc)

My decision making is the issue, not so much last hitting or basic stuff. I thought about making a smurf, but am expecting mid to be snapped up instantly by other smurfs.

If he is a bad Viper, he can tie the lane, essentially losing it, because the enemy hero can roam to rune, gank a side lane, and return, meaning he loses by a huge margin.

Its also the same reason Solo offlane works bad in pubs: If the enemy just get all the lasthits, and they also pull, you can't physically do anything but lose the lane, and then play the entire match from behind

>>171402419
This is also good advice. If you are going to do one thing, never play a Hero that do that worse.
For the same reason: Never play Sniper/Anti Mage/hungry core if you know the earlygame isn't going to go well, due team composition.

>>171402136
1. Play Bot games until you understand how to pressure
2. Play some more BOT games until you understand how to get ALL THE LASTHITS while pressuring

if you think you have a good chance of closing the game out by 40-50 minutes, taking the exp and getting a quicker level 25 to get his power spike earlier is probably better than an extra forge spirit

however, once you get 25 the exp talent obviously becomes useless, so the longer you spend at 25 before the game ends, the better an extra forge spirit would be

sometimes that one extra forge spirit can make the difference between destroying the rax, or living through an omni slash because it tanks hits for you, etc.

it's beause I get dragged down by retarded teammates.
every game I wait and look at what my idiots are picking. and every game it ends up with 4 rightclikers and me trying to save whatever I can and picking a support/disabler. and every fuckign game like this we lose because they too stupid to farm and buy decent items and have no timing and are generally stupid
and then I say fuck and pick a fuckign carry myself and have to fight with my own team for farm and have to support them and still end up with the most xp and ghold and kills and least deaths.
now you probably think why I am not playing every game the greedy carry. well surprise, even if every thing goes right for, me team is still retarded. they dont push, they dont support, they dont even farm. all they do is fight. so after a fight they go back to heal, and wait for the next fight. you cant control anything in the game with these poeple. it's impossibe. every game is a fucking lucky bag. it's bullshit

You get money and levels through kills, tome of knowledge and objective kills.

If top is being pushed you can still push the lane and still have allies ward and farm/leech the jungle nearby and maybe pop into the pushed lane to gibe a presence to it if you think they have sight of it.

If Juggs is pushing top, his Kotl wards/deward the top lane and his Centaur clears the camps nearby clsoe enough to mid and top that he cna come to their assistance on demand.
The mid and pos 4 are nearby but also close enough to present a TF presence and tower push to top as well as giving a second pair of eyes alongside the wards in mid and maybe bot. This is one out of many examples

is it possible to pick huskar regularly and do reasonable with him, almost regardless of the picks of your allies (given that mid is free)? I just picked him into a team with oracle and it was quite fun. I picked him because the enemy mid was an ember spirit and their only good source of physical damage was a wraith king
>>
>>171421939
Huskar depends a lot more on what the enemies pick than what your allies pick. Generally I only get to pick Huskar once in a blue moon because he's so overspecialized but when I do I can do well with him regardless of what my team has because he's pretty much a self-sustaining hero, and anything your team has to do with you is just icing on the cake.

>>171425172
I think stuns in themselves are fine, they are a necessary part of the game allowing one to control stupid heroes (that are actually anti-fun) like weaver, ember spirit etc.

Though stuns should have longer cooldowns, for regular non-ult stuns, the formula should be: cooldown = 12 x (stun duration), and all non-ult stuns should have their duration reduced to a maximum of 2 seconds

So I haven't played in about half a year. Wasn't coming back to those post 7.00 changes.

I'm still seeing some wacky shit. Like respawn talents, exp talents and gpm talents. Or some straight up bullshit like 8s shackle on Shadow Shaman.

It's clearly all hypothetical, I mean, a support hitting 25.

Instead someone just nanoboosts their soldier to do +50% damage and take -50% damage while he turns on a *literal* aimbot and goes and shits on everyone and all your mechanical skill comes to nothing because he's impossible to kill on your own. The counter play is ults and I think that's a damn fucking shame. DOTA wasn't this bad.

What is supporting in this game? It feels so fucky.

Like if you are losing, what can you do as a support? Cores can just go farm jungle.. what do you farm as a support? Every time I go to bop creeps, shit pops off in another lane or something and I have to go and probably die.

I hate the concept of "cores" too. This whole game is about gold and items. People say some heroes don't need items but thats bull shit. Every hero needs items. Some need critical items otherwise they don't even function.

FUCK!

What is the truth here? Losing games feels like shit because you are never even sure if you could have done anything against that shadow fiend who went 8 and 0 by the 15 min mark.

>>171428686
Supporting in DOTA is getting by without those items. Always has been. Now, that doesn't mean be a passive bitch and take it up the ass from that Slark. It means carrying the necessities such as wards, smokes and dust and going and ganking that fuck face before he can come online, and then directing your team to push. Force buy backs. Then pull out.

Your job is map control.

If that means tping to a tower to save a team mate being dived, so be it.

I just emailed the "Dota 2 Team" about a match where two faggots decided to grief the shit out of it. What are my chances of getting these guys sent to LPQ for a shit ton of games.
>>
>>171428754

What is boggling to me is the lack of certain items. I fucking hate how cores have all these wonderous items they can buy that makes the game and interactive for them.

What do supports have? glimmer cape and force staff. If you losing as a support, glimmer cape and force staff are probably the biggest items you will ever get. You will still be two shot by cores who got farmed as shit off of lane creeps and jungle. What can you even do?

So many shitty budget items too. Supports have no use for drums and shit. WHERE ARE THE FUCKING OPTIONS!?

I'm going to give you the biggest fucking tip for a Support player that you can ever hope anyone to ever give you.

Skip the glimmer pick up. Skip the blink pick up. Yeah, skip the force staff pick up, too.

Build a Mekansm. Way easier to build into and gradually improves your survivability, thus reducing the odds of you getting butt fucked in two hits.

How do I properly handle invis heroes?

Every fucking game they just walk all over me. I spam sentries and dust and the hole it puts in my support wallet is just too much.

Its so fucked. A hero can make you spend 500g on sentries but if that hero were not in the game, you would not have to spend nearly that much that frequently.
>>
>>171430550
Stick with a buddy so that you don't get picked off. Sentry smartly, put it down when you're pushing or where you know a teamfight is about to happen, don't just spam them everywhere.
>>
>>171430550
Sentries are your job as support, because that's helps remove vision for them as well, but depending on the invis hero you're playing against, carrying dust should be everyone's job until late 6 slot game, when you should have a gem anywah
>>
>>171430550
play invis heroes
understand what they can do, what they can't do, but most importantly, what they WANT to do!
if you have NO clue what that bounty or treant or riki wants to do in the first 5 minutes of the game, you are just gonna throw a bunch of useless wards and sentries down everywhere and end up with shit for items and then they just treat you like a bag of gold unless you can group and and someone got a mek or you somehow got a force/glimmer whatever

Atrophy aura keeps your right click buffed. Iron talon isn't needed on Underlord.

First of all
When you gank invi heroes, get dust, NOT
FUCKING
SENTRYS

when you want to push against invi heroes, get SENTRYS
NOT
FUCKING
DUST

They should be a pain in the ass but not hard.
Also, something that works for every hero: dont let him snowball
Specially heroes like Slark. And no sentry or dust will help you

witch doctor is fucking god tier
he is insanely flexible and is great against a heavy melee line-up
team needs disable and lock down? max cask and pop out of the fog at the right time to perma-stun a carry off his catapult
need insane healing / sustain? get mana boots and max voodoo restoration and just follow your cores around in fights, tossing out a cask or two when needed
need insane damage? max maledict, cast on enemy, and right click the guy a few times, or if you're 6, death ward his ass

he gets shit on by slippery, kite-y line-ups though...

No scaling beyond 1.0 BAT being on 20 seconds downtime.
Who are we kidding, thats better scaling than most of the hard carry rooster.
He got a 4 second stun as well, which scales earlygame, also making him better than a lot of carries.

All these creep/jungle GPM nerfs just means Alchemist will get stupidly ahead because he farms more than twice to trice as fast as the regular hero. Even with just 1-2 points in Greevils Greed.

He only needs 7mana/second to support permanently casting Acid Spray as well, which he gets for free if he managed to get Ulti to level 2.
And again: Acid Spray eats supports midgame, and also makes Alch a better carry.
It also allows him to lane mid, making him even better.

He really isn't balanced for shit.
No armor would be a issue, if AC/Blademail/Solar Crest and a whole bunch of items didn't benefit him so much.

Which Doctor is Witch Doctor?
The one creepled by low HP gains, and no good solution to fix it.

Beyond that, all his skills are great, with caveats.
I.E Maledict is the best damage amp in the game, but it only counts HP difference, so its useless against healing, alchemist and several similar things.

Cask can fail spectacularly due bounce RNG.

Voodo Restoration isn't a sticky aura, and its hard to get people to stay range. It already heals twice more than Mek & Dominator does at level 1, but sadly is over time.

Death Ward attacks 5 times a second. Is NOT blocked by Vanguard/Crimson Guard/Kraken Shell, so its actually a good ability

Only place sentries if you are going to defend a tower, Roshan or are going to siege a tower.
Otherwise you end up pissing gold, and that lose you games.
Or for laning, but remember: If you need more than one(for its duration), you fucked up badly.
Remember to gank with dust early enough, to avoid Riki/BH/etc snowballing. This is where most people fuck up. They just let Riki sit around until some dumbfuck lanes at 10% hp, and feeds him.
