i had an idea for a new hero

>q - no target ability that launches a projectile at the closest enemy, dealing an initial burst damage then damage over time while also breaking passives. after casting and before the projectile hits its target you gain a 60% speed boost and invisibilty.

>w- launch two projectiles that converge upon a target point. each deals damage in an area around them as they travel. if they both strike an enemy at the same time it will be stunned and take extra damage.

>e- enchant an allied hero's next spell to deal a multiplier of its primary attribute as bonus pure damage in an area around the target unit or point.

>r- toggle on to disarm yourself until toggled off. during this time you gain 1/2/3% spell amp, spell lifesteal, and cooldown reduction for every 10 attack damage you have.

Jugg damage comparison.jpg
3MB, 3936x2404px
So the highest damage potential for jugg is going to be Treads/Echo/Diffusal (Yasha optional) for more mid game items

and for late game items

Manta Illusions hitting a target for 10 seconds is the highest damage potential

However Mjolnir instead of manta is obviously going to be more consistent, and that's not counting mjolnir's active procs for bonus damage

the choice seems to come down to mjolnir or manta depending on the game, though manta is more likely to be the average purchase

>>171540094

>>
>>171540981
welcome to drafting friend, if you wanna early pick then focus on things that arent fucked over by a single strong offlaner
>>
>>171539054
You buy 2 sets of tangos, and a stout shield, in the very initial part of the laning stage (assuming you get bounty) scrounge enough money to buy a PMS.

If axe is diving you and he is level 3, he has won the lane, let him farm, let him creep cut even (if the mid is unwilling to gank), and go tank and farm creeps under tower, buying a third set of tangos if necessary, try and get as much farm as you can, get your support to farm the jungle camps.

Axe before level 3 isn't incredibly strong, you must zone him as hard as possible with your support (bonus points if its a venge with blight stone, or another support that can amplify damage in lane), and try to send him back. He is like Timber, not actually very tanky as long as he doesn't get levels

>>171540981
>not having good farming efficiency

>>171541091
Welcome to pubbing my friend, things dont always go your way and you are only in control of your own pick. This whole "Dont pick a hero that is fucked over by a strong offlaner" doesn't really apply by the given scenario
>>
>>171540812
You forgot SD, OD, Aba and Omni.

And if you farm an Agh's also Phoenix and Weaver.
>>
>>171541390
>This whole "Dont pick a hero that is fucked over by a strong offlaner" doesn't really apply by the given scenario
it obviously does when you pick the carry and dont know what you're facing in the offlane
like, thats what drafting is, if you dont have support(s) that can deal with bullying offlaners then youre asking for it by picking a pressumably squishy melee carry that is weak at early levels
for example, a jugg could simply wait for creeps to die then spin the axe down for 500 dmg at lvl 1, and use healig ward to keep himself up whilst easily lasthitting under tower, farm phase boots, get lvl 3 and then the axe can just fuck off

Yeah it's as stupid as I tought, you're better off with Aether Lens + an item to break Linken's in case they have one (Eul's and/or Atos), your weakness is that Thunder Strike has a relatively short cast range but with EL + range talent it stays relevant.

You don't need to prevent heroes from jumping away, that's why you have TS and Glimpse and Rad does not prevent BKB from screwing you, on the other hand an Agh's is effective at countering BKB, your whole reasoning as to how to play Disruptor is wrong, you also probably don't max out Glimpse first.

if you are vhs unranked this means you are in 1% playerbase unranked
mmr is another thing, basically another game mentality and you cant even try to compare the two things
there is a reason if you cant break 2k
not pushing this on you but for even winning a single game at every mmr range you need at least a bit of tryhard mentality that maybe you lack while playing unranked
>>
>>171558507
What, so like >>171558296 said and move into a daedelus / bfury? Will you still play in a similar capacity where you gradually cleave the enemy team down?

I'm having trouble using blink effectively, I'll jump in, SoF and shackle everyone but I dont feel like I do enough to make something happen without my team jumping in. In the instance they sit at highground with shrines, what are you supposed to do?

also the "rank" in unranked matchmaking is calculated on raw prestation statistics, while for ranked you have to actually win games
this means you can be free to mind your own buisness in unranked, farm, play alone, let your team fall apart and lose the game and still rise in "mmr"
>>
>>171558296
I kind of agree with this, I think veil is still an excellent pickup but you should be transitioning to cleave after the thirty minute mark. Remember your entire job was to be buying time for your carry and now it's your carry's time to do his fucking job.

Which means you probably lost because it's always some mouth breather that built an sny or something awful

/d2g/ how the fuck do account sellers get 4k+ on calibration? Is it just alch radiance spam or fucking tinker or something?
>>
>>171562060
yes, it's generally about playing high impact mid heroes that can overpower a game alone

meepo, invoker, alch, tinker, arc warden, storm and so on
>>

he is a reclusive weeb
>>
>>171562060
you can't calibrate higher than 3.5k anymore
>>
>>171562180
wrong

>>171562060
they play botgames to get a 60-80~ winrate where theyre winning games in 15mins with 60 kills, kinda thing, until theyre high enough level to queue for ranked

Then when it comes to calibration, they either have a 6-7k player just stomp the 10 gmaes, or they bot that too by queueing 10 bots on South African servers with Chinese/Korean language specifics so they get a 5v5 bot game and just calibrate with the bots all together

but as other anon said, they cant go above 3.5k calibration anymore

and as a fun side fact: the highest ever calibration was by PPD before winnign TI on a smurf where he calibrated at 4800~

Spam ion shell on creeps. Try to get a double wave when you can. Vaccuum is good. Should be able to get a farm advantage and mess with their safelane. If that doesn't win you the game, doesn't matter what you play. Be reactionary instead of initiating. If you run up to people, you'll die. Hence why blink is so good but there has to be followup which wont happen in pubs. Best to do it to followup your teammates, therein lies the issue.

Lol are you dumb I remember calibrating at 4.9 back in the day pretty sure any 5.5k+ could easily do it and then there was the zeus abuse allowing you to calibrate even higher I believe but that's around the time they fixed it and that I started looking into it

the first 10 games in dota calibrate your unranked mmr
farm, stack camps, don't miss last hits, don't feed and you get 4k easily

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

How do I branch out into other roles? I have no desire to play mid or carry which leaves me with offlane.

I currently pretty much only play support because its the only role that makes any sense to me. I don't like carrying because its like a whole different mindset. I like ganking but I hate playing invis heroes. I prefer to play heroes that kind of like surprise people and catch them off guard. I HATE invis though.

I wanted to try tusk but what role does he even play as? I also like underlord but I am not sure how to play him either.

fuck off filthy gaijin

as for offlane, typically the offlaner is a hero that doesnt need MUCH farm, mostly XP and that can come online relatively early and stay relevant through the whole game

e.g. Tidehunter, Shaker, Nyx, Dark Seer, Underlord, SK all do pic related
Typically you wont do anything before you get at least 1 core item, unless your hand is forced, but otherwise youre just farming the lane/side jungle till you get your blink/mek etc. and team is ready to fight/push
With heroes like Tide and Nyx, you typically want your 6 and blink before leaving lane. then all you really do is protect your mid or carry, while also looking for fights to take

Nyx, SK, Shaker can all go off on their own and look for solo pickoffs too for the duration of the game

Pressuring the carry in laning stage and/or getting farm and xp without feeding. After the laning stage it's just doing your hero things properly. For lots of heroes that's finding pickoffs and starting fights with a blink stun or whatever.

You should try clock, mag, beastmaster, cent, legion etc.

Hating invis is stupid because in literally every bracket from 1k mmr to TI people forget to buy detection.

Literally to dive you without care axe needs lvl 2-3, just be sure to tell your cucky support not to leech exp and to go stack/grab bounty. Then you just spin on him and with any spell from your support you can kill him. Otherwise if you are so deeply fucked get as many levels as you can and either swap with someone or go jungle. If its a shitpub just tell your team that you can't lane and if they complain mute them and do what you can, if game is lost than its lost.

just take a break dude
my normie friend casually do nightlife and plays dota about 2-3 games a day and he's at 4k7 and brags me about playing dota all day and still 3.9~4k1 mmr and casually taunts me that he's about to get 5k.

i like him though because he gives me free meals and cheers me up because im a lonely man and we've been friends since childhood and im the one who introduced him dota.

it doesn't really matter how many games you play.
what matters is "do you play well and consistent every game?"
once you've become that calm dude, you can win 5 and lose 2 or maybe a massive streak.

your arms probably hurt right now and your head is stressed because every game matters to you.
you gotta relax and look at yourself for a moment.

grinding mmr is like grinding in real life.
You can't rush it, just take it slow.
As long as you have fun and confident of yourself without looking at everyone around you, you'd be surprised that you're finally up there.

Dota is just a game after all.

You can't stop people from being retarded and going solo in unwarded areas.

Just buy a pack of dusts or buy a gem for yourself or the player with the most survivability on your team.

Either practice the buddy system, or go 5 man and push towers. Clinkz, Nyx, Riki, Slark are useless in those scenarios unless they have been fed.

Is witch doctor any good? I really like the hero but I hate channeled ults. Especially ults that only hit a single target at a time until you get scepter.

I just feel disgusted by ults that are basically "stun yourself so you can do something". Leaves a very vulnerable feeling in my mouth.

You already spend 4k on midas and bots in the first 25 minutes for zero damage, taking that to 6k is just too much in some games on a hero who's midgame is already full of major flaws.

There are also hero matchups that make force or sb pretty much necessary instead of blink.

I spam the hero a lot and agree blink is best if you can get away with it but sometimes you can't afford to spend even more gold on an item with zero damage or defensive properties

How is playing some bulky fat dork better than za warudo?
>>
>>171580134
He's ok mid, but his base damage is bad, he can't harass with his nukes easily against a lot of mids and there's absolutely nothing he can do if multiple heroes run at him. He's only a decent jungler with a maelstrom, which you're not getting before 13-15 mins in most games as a mid.

This is all ignoring the fact he's got some glaring flaws as a carry hero and there's other heroes that can do most of what he does with 20% of the effort. He's meepo or alch tier kill value when snowballing and more vulnerable than almost any other carry in the game to being jumped.

IS THIS A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE?!

If you play carry, get good. If you dont, you shouldnt care.

>What do I do as a hard support?
Pull to get exp/gold, and to deny exp. harrass if you can the offlaner. If you cant harrass and can gank, do it. If you cant gank, just stay, pull, and help the carry. If you cant pull or help the carry, move and help the midlaner/offlane, and leave the carry alone. If the carry starts to die, tell him to go jungle instead of crying, he should recognize you cant help him.

Witch Doctor, because he is so stupidly level hungry.
I am just glad I looked up the heal rate of Mekanism and HOTD, which is both at 8/sec, so i don't get into a situation where i max Voodo Restoration early.

Winter Wyvern, a good Artic Breath is 90% of cases a free kill, but the lane you are ganking can't be arsed to get into position to make it happen
Bonus points if its Invoker you are helping, because all you need is a forge spirit and a cold snap for ANY FREE KILL once it starts ticking.

Anything involving Chaos Knight, and using the ultimate too early, so the illusions die to aoe nukes.

>>171581920
1. Don't play hard support until you understand how ganking works
Hard support should never be played in lower MMR pubs, because it hurts the hard supports ability to function as a hero

2. Again: don't pick hard support, pick a scaling hero and leave 1-2 free slots for a quelling blade and wards(deward)

>before 7 dropped
Hero got dumpstered so hard is the problem, his changelog read like a list of 4 or 5 nerf options that would make him viable and icefrog chose all of the above

He works safelane too but against competent teams in this meta he's actually just too fucked up a hero to be a legit carry in some games because he offers zero presence.

You need someone to absorb aggression and create space for you to do things in fights without your double getting bursted or you getting caught, and most of the time that's better as a carry.

>>171581579
I agree with this but it doesn't solve the issue is the hero is abysmal at surviving pressure and ganks in lane. Both flux and spark wraith are unreliable against good opponents and don't have a burst factor for making trades. Until you get midas you're farming ability is trash too.

You've got this hero that's decent enough in the laning stage with some pick off potential and nice tower defense that becomes a monster lategame but if you just run at him as a team he can't really do shit unless he's super far ahead.

I don't think he's all that bad right now but certainly still weak and his strengths don't compensate for his flaws. I'm just scared he'll end up like pl: cancer once and then eternally a semi-viable game-losing shitty imitation of what he once.

>>171582802

4. Chilling Touch: Can deal up to 150/240/350/480 ( 450/640/850/1080) damage per buffed ally, and again: Insane cast range

5. Ice Blast is a hard skill to use. Generally, you want it to be the spell that initiate a fight. Some times you want to wait few a second, and then use it a few seconds into the fight to disable specific enemy heroes regen.
What takes a lot of practice, is to realize if you are in a game where teamfights starts with 5 man Ice Blasts, or if you need it to disable Alchemist or other heroes with high regen or life steal.

Basically: He isn't a obvious hero, and he is hard to play because there is a good chance your best bet is to stay far outside of your own rightclick range.

Don't die. I know that seems kinda obvious but it's crucial to playing the hero. AA is very squishy and has no escape so he's a prime target for getting dumpstered. DONT LET THEM PLACE YOU IN THE DUMPSTER

Another thing is that you want to be as far away from the fight as possible, and you want to position yourself behind your team so that they have to go through everybody just to get to you. This shouldn't be too hard because AA spells have very long range.

Midas is a really good item on AA and I would say that it's essential. Helps you get your lvl 3 ulti and agh's faster. Even if you don't buy it until 23 minutes in, it's still good.

I could coach you through a game but I'm a 4k scrub

all your skills have long range, you really shouldn't be on the front edge but you should still be in fights, the hero really isn't just walking ulti
midas aghs build is somewhat dated meme and only viable in games there 2 or more heroes countered by your ult
generally AA can build whatever he wants, you can buy usual saving items like force/glimmer/solar crest/lotus or something more offensive like veil or atos
skill build is usually first point into E, then you go for 4-1-1-1 into 4-4-1-1

I don't understand positioning in this game. So many heroes buy blink daggers or shadow blades and what not. How can you possibly SAFELY position when they have instant position changing items or abilities? I feel as if I spend a good portion of the game just waiting in trees until a fight happens because its just so fucking easy to jump on people.

Also, playing support when losing feels horrible. It honestly feels like you are a non-factor when playing from behind.

>>171590325
>shadow blades
they still have to get to you
>daggers
if you deward and push properly, that is, keeping a healthy distance from your counter-initiators and carries you should be able to avoid these

Also remember that shadow blades and daggers aren't exactly super cheap items, if you apply pressure to the core whose dagger you want to delay the most, you can do a lot of damage to their teamfighting potential in the mid game. And for the love of god don't forget all about positioning as soon as the game starts. A lot of supports just rush in with their defensive abilities as soon as their carry gets stunned, only to get themselves rp'd or black hole'd.

But that's wrong.
Before 7.00 SoF was random and evened out to 50% efficiency on average, no way to influence it.
Now SoF is controllable, meaning that efficiency of the spell depends on how well you use it. Depending on that you get 0-100% efficiency. If you are good you have better results than before.
They also buffed battlefury with extra area compared to before 7.00 and extra cleave damage.
>>
>>171593465
oh wait he doesn't even have an aghs upgrade?
i faintly remember it buffing sunder (by lowering the 25% minimum hp swap to like 10%) but apparently not
>>
>>171593612
It's not with how good you are? are you fucking retarded

SoF always hits in front of the target, so this completely depends on on they are facing when you use it. You can' control how they face and if you just wait for the "Great SoF" you will lose team fights.

If they are all standing in a circle, facing the center of the circle, the cleave wont even hit
>>
>>171593852
You need to get some reading comprehension mate.
You hit the target from the same angle you cast SoF from.
Go read the spell again.

Fuck man.. is it even possible to keep cores down anymore? I lose a lot of my games because a core from a lane I wasn't even in leaves their lane buff as fuck and just womps me.

I feel as if I don't even have the option of defending myself as a support. Are items like glimmer cape and force staff even worth rushing? Is there some item I can get that can make me more durable? I feel like as a support, every gold counts and I can't just spend it on anything.

Okay, you need some reading comprehension too, because i literally said that. That doesn't change that the cleave is still worse than what it was before.

>>171595012
No you did not literally say that. The angles are up to you and your positioning, how enemies are facing is irrelevant.
Simply being controllable already makes it hold more potential than before, but on top of that both area and damage have been buffed, so it is in fact, not worse at all.

I think there was other failures as well.
It was basically a game where I had to pick Slark/Bloodseeker/Sven/TA, or lose it.
I didn't pick either of those heroes. I picked Viper, looked at our lineups, and Mek rushed in hopes that one of our other cores would go for a HOTD, and we could win the game at 20 minutes due having a extreme healing +sustain advantage.

Instead we lose every single fucking teamfight, stop moving across the rover at 20 minutes, and game ends at 50 minutes because the 6 slotted enemy finally bothers to end the game by throning.

WHY
>>
>>171594660
>Are items like glimmer cape and force staff even worth rushing?
what the fuck else are you even rushing as support, mek? lmao
of course there are some supports who need specific item asap (like blink for lion or aghs for kotl) but otherwise buying force/medalion/glimmer/ghost first is never a bad idea

I don't understand ganking. How do I successfully do it? I particularly like shadow shaman and one game I was having a rough time and one dude said I should gank more.

But how can I do that? If I leave my lane then the core may die and if I go to another lane, the gank may not even work.

What are my options for ganking as shadow shaman? What can be done to do it properly? Should I start with boots?

I normally start tangoes, lace, clarity, courier, ward with almost every support I play. Is that a bad start?

If you're at a level where you're asking these questions you will find decent success just buying a smoke, looking to see which lane has the best kill chance and running at them pinging from the side/behind while smoked.

Carrying tp scrolls and tp'ing to counter every dive will also earn you plenty of opportunities if you judge the situation well.

If you're out of mana / low on health after a fight immediately look for any opportune ward spots nearby then return to heal to minimize downtime just wandering aimlessly.

is offlane sven a thing? I want to play a more prominent position that isn't fucking support. I hate watching the game get lost before my eyes and have no fucking power to agency to stop it.

What is a good offlaner that can help control the game?

>>171608976
You get less MMR when you beat a team you're favored against (your team has a higher average MMR) and lose more when you lose to a team you favored against.

This is true except I'm not the Batman on my team.
I'm the Robin trying to help the Batman but fail miserably and just get in his way instead.

>>171608792
you should play him as a tanky caster, go brown boots into bloodstone and use the active every time it's off cooldown

Then it looks backwards, he lost in a stomp and lost more MMR.

The variance in MMR shouldn't be more than 1k

There are lots of ways a team that has less MMR overall can still stomp a higher skill team. It could be a simple outdraft, someone could be smurfing on the lower MMR team, someone could have bought an account on the higher MMR team, players might just be playing better or worse than their MMR indicates on that day, etc.

It's not like the MMR variance is massive. +/- 5 from the standard 25 is negligible over many games.
>>
>>171612232
None of that matters, the variance shouldn't be so high that you only gain 17 from one and lose 40 from another.

They have means of smurf detection in unranked, they really need to apply something similar to ranked
>>
>>171612524
I've never seen a +17 or -40

That'd only happen on servers with really small playerbases so the MMR skew between the teams is super fucked right? Like Aus or some shit

Medusa and AM can fight early if you build them properly desu. Especially Medusa since she's actually a good mid hero.

Spectre and Morph are objectively shit though.

Morphling is EXTREMELY easy to shut down dude. What bracket are you in?
He has garbage attack range, is slower than CM, and doesn't become useful until he gets eblade + skati. His sole eblade is only good for picking off roaming supports but in this DEATH BALL META, your solitary eblade will contribute jack shit when the enemy team of high sustain heroes comes knocking at your door.

Face it dude, Morphling is a trash carry.

Best offlaner in the game right now is centaur

Some other decent ones are Clock, Abaddon, Axe, and Magnus

Just play around and find something you like
