ALRIGHT YOU CARRY SHITTERS THIS IS HOW YOU LEAVE THE TRENCH
Be a selfish player, realize you are the carry and at all costs you need to survive, farm, and hit towers, you need to CARRY the game. Counter pick, dont be afraid to lose gold while your retarded team has no idea what to pick and pick last. Lane match ups are something you learn from experience but learn power spikes in lanes and when you can kill and when you can be killed. Itemize based on the enemy team heroes and item choices. Buy your own wards, sentries, and dust, eventually your team will get better at warding and bringing dust but your top priority is securing YOUR farm and kills. itemization is the hardest part of carrying because you need to have the optimal build during every stage of the game. What to lane with, what to fight mid game with, and what to end the game with. If you are building your hero the same EVERY game you are not getting better your item build during every stage of the game should reflect the hero (and eventually enemy items) matchups. I suggest ignoring the guides and learn to adapt. Stack your own camps, stack stack stack and get your items faster than your enemy.
during teamfights know what spells/items can control you and wait until the important ones are used on your retarded teammates. Also know when a fight is going to be shit and farm the other side of the map. You have to be extremely conscious of everything happening on the screen and keep track of cool downs mentally
Use your mic communication, is the key to winning fights because everyone has to be on the same page. Also some games are not winnable just move on, that does not mean you are allowed to be a cuck that gives up before you should.

also, watch anime. Anime makes you better at dota dotards!

I like playing Meepo but I don't think he's very strong right now. And in solo ranked picking him is usually suicide simply because everybody is so terrified of getting Meepo'd they'll literally have 3-4 people in your lane to shut you down and your dumbass teammates can't use the space. Huskar, Broodmother and TA have the same problem to some extent.

Who is a support that is pretty much always a strong laner? I fucking hate ending up in a game playing support when I feel like I am doing nothing in the fucking lane. Its a horrid feeling when you can do NOTHING.

I typically play AA and being this hero early on is fucking brutal. Its such a shitty feeling when you feel helpless to help.

So who is a support that is pretty much always a strong laner and can always do something. Playing AA gives me a fucking headache because he can't farm and he has no exp talents. Its horrible.

Help.

Too bad any Meepo conterpick is just a good pick in general, teams full of aoe stuns, nukes, pickoff, fatasses and etc. They pick it without thinking, but a team with Meepo somehow manages to get 4 heroes without blinks, stuns, initiation. And net being nerfed ages ago didn't help.

Earthshaker is not a strong laner unless you have him in a kill lane with additional disable or soloing against a melee hero.
>>187544946
Absolutely. You really can only last pick Meepo these days, not just because you get countered hard by some heroes but because there are so few team comps he actually fits with/against. And if the enemy team doesn't have outright counters they'll focus all their energy into shutting down your lane, as I said previously. Shit sucks.

>>187545894
You didn't quote the rest of it where I specified the situations in which he is a good laner. Anon asked for a support who's always strong in lane, Earthshaker is very much the opposite of that. If he isn't solo against a melee hero (or in certain other 1v1 matchups) or paired up with other heroes that have kill potential he can't do anything at all. He doesn't zone the enemy offlaner, he himself has zero kill potential and needs his allies to provide the damage and disable after the fissure block. ES needs levels and one or two items to actually solo kill anybody.

We're talking about laning here you absolute mongoloid. Either you don't know how to read or you're too stupid to have this conversation, either way you can stop replying and refer to my earlier posts where I explained why ES is only situationally a good laner and is outperformed by most supports in the laning stage. I play plenty of ES, he's probably my most played support and I play him plenty in the offlane too. He's a good hero. But he is not a consistently good laner, which is the only thing this entire conversation was about.

You can stop getting butthurt about your favourite hero being insulted. The discussion is not whether ES is good (he is), there are just much more consistently strong lane supports in the game. What are you going to do on ES solo supporting an antimage against a strong offlane? Fuck all, that's what.

Artifact is being managed by some Dota artists and other various staff like a gameplay director from Double Fine which means this is much more a side project they aren't investing too much into

HL3, HLVR, L4D3 and various other projects imply Valve are up to something, but by the looks of all the staff who've left it's most likely very slow going.

>The fact that you expect passive play is how I know you're 2k trash because that isn't at all how the game is played at higher levels
That's exactly how the game is played at higher levels. I suspect you picked 2K because you're actually at most 3K yourself. When your safe lane has no realistic kill potential it's way better for your carry to farm creeps. Most of the time it's better to farm creeps if your lane control is going alright. Literally watch any high level carry or pos 5 player's games or even fucking BSJ or some shit who can explain how this works. It's not worth going for unrealistic kills and a lane with ES only has realistic kill potential if he's in a trilane or with a carry who actually contributes something in the early game. Which is only the case some of the time. I hope you're about to reveal that you we're "only pretending to be retarded" pretty soon.

>The game is LITERALLY all about rotations and ganking if you're 6k+ what the absolute fuck is wrong with you
Not when you have a weak laner as your carry and you need to secure his farm. Or when your other support needs to be somewhere else. Ganking is fine but it still doesn't contribute to ES being a strong laner. It makes him a relatively strong roamer.
>wait till level 3, wall him off and beat him with your totem because you do a gorillion damage and then have your safe laner finish him off
He's going to be level 5 at this point and your antimage has no farm because he effectively is soloing this lane while you try to leech levels. If you can't contribute level 1 then it's not a strong lane. That's the entire point. This shit only works if we assume you have self sufficient cores with decent lane matchups which often doesn't happen in pubs. Again, it means ES is not a consistently strong laner in every situation.

What are items you can build and stack?

Items like Rapier, where you get all or almost full value for the second item as well as the first.

>>187550016
Earthshaker is pos 5, not 1, in this example. Anyway, the offlane Axe in this example has complete free reign because he's against such a weak lane, of course he's going to get a lot of levels.

Yes, and we were never talking about the core which is why I corrected you. He's going to be 2 levels ahead of the support by the time the lane ends. I can't believe I'm still talking to people who actually don't have basic reading comprehension.

alternatively, you get the kill because most people don't fucking play antimage, they play lifestealer, ck, jugg, morph, luna or mk and the vast majority of those have no trouble getting early kills.
The game is teamfight oriented now, not farm oriented, you'd need only look at the 7k ladder or Ti to see this.
If you're still stuck in the before 7.00 times, that's your fucking problem and that's your mmr to throw away, but stop giving advice, because not a single thing you've said has been true or helpful so far

The pickrate of heroes is actually fairly consistent between something like 2k and 6k, and these heroes appear fairly often (sans morph, maybe). Dunno what the fuck you're talking about, especially since jugg has been the "cant play carry, play support, cant play support, play jugg" hero for almost 2 years now.

>use totem because it does a gorrilion damage
If your totem does a gorillion damage on Axe it means the Axe is somehow underleveled or you're maxing totem instead of leveling fissure, let's be real here. Can we stop this thought experiment now and accept that earthshaker is a hero that has weaknesses, like every other hero in Dota? One of his weaknesses being that there are certain lanes in which his contribution is not as high as several other support heroes. Read that last sentence carefully because despite you trying to move the goalposts with every post you've made so far, this is what the entire argument was supposed to be about and I've been trying to hold you to it.
>alternatively, you get the kill because most people don't fucking play antimage, they play lifestealer, ck, jugg, morph, luna or mk
Again, you're moving the goalposts. I just gave that lane as an example of a lane ES does poorly in and you've been stubbornly trying to argue that you're going to win the lane by killing the Axe. We all know that's not true and there are other support heroes that could actually do better here and secure the AM some farm despite the tough lane.
>The game is teamfight oriented now, not farm oriented, you'd need only look at the 7k ladder or Ti to see this.
AM is as popular as ever and was picked in TI plenty of times, but that's once again you trying to move the goalposts. I'm not arguing what the meta is, I'm saying that ES isn't "pretty much always a strong laner" like the original anon was asking for. That's all.
>because not a single thing you've said has been true or helpful so far

Great argument, friend. I'm going to assume we're finally done with this. I actually do agree by the way that trying to zone him with totem is probably your best bet in this lane (your original "zone him with fissure and kill him at level 3" idea was dumb as fuck), but this way you can at least chip away at him before he sends you out of lane to regen.

Anyway, it's 3:30AM and time to end the autism so you can have the last word.

Don't necessarily play hard carry, just play something that can win the game at all phases of the game. SB, NP, ES, Veno, Lich sometimes.

Semi-OPM workout.
Day 1
50 pushups every 2 days. If you're a fat fuck and too out of shape then do 3 sets of 30, 20, and 15. Adjust numbers as you improve.

50 situps after that. This one is surprisingly easy if you're skinny. If not then do 30-25-20. Adjust numbers accordingly. I'd rather just pirate Ab Ripper X for abs desu.

Day 2
50 squats. Really easy shit. Don't even need to reduce it to sets because even fat fucks can do this one unless you got fucked up knees. If you do then just go on a 1km walk outside.

5 pullups. If you're a fat fuck then do just 1 with a chair to boost yourself on one foot with your toes. Adjust numbers as you improve.

Swindle has talked about it in past interviews lightly.

Basically swindle and zfreak gave up everything they had for HoN. They didn't go to college and used their parents college savings for a career in Hon instead. They formed Stay Green, fully unsponsored team and funding everything themselves. Everyone had pretty much left that game so their team just won "everything".

Either way that team was short lives because hon was dying and there was no prize money left. They still kept playing and just prayed for S2 to keep announce a new Hon tour season but they never did. With competitive hon dying they now had no income whatsoever, no college education, no careers and their future felt pretty doomed.

They both tried to get normal jobs but didn't manage to do that because their resumes looked garbage with 0 experience in anything, no education. Their lives was pretty much doomed until Dota 2 started to grow and they started playing again.

Swindle and Zfreak realized that gaming now has to be their careers because there is nothing else in their lives out there for them. They have a decent brand for themselves and manage to get sponsored by coL that gives them financial stability for trying to get as far as TI as they can every year.

That's why Zfreak dosent leave. coL gives him the financial stability and he has went tough a lot of shit with his brother. He could maybe take a huge risk leaving coL, his brother and maybe have a shot into getting into a really good team and win TI but according to him that risk is not worth taking. It's a pretty good decision to stay.

>>187554921
Agreed, a lot of the good "carrying these fucking retards without actually being the carry" heros are offlaners. Lich, Omni, Nature's Profit, Underlord and Earthshaker are all good, atleast now before volvo puts them in the dumpster for being too good. You're actually double-dipping on increasing your win chances by playing those heroes well, because you're playing a chad role AND preventing some idiot from going offlane instead of you to feed the enemy rice farmer like a fucking madman.

Playing offlane Furion has been my go-to recently because he just does so much. Nobody contests you for offlane, you'll get farm no matter what (and often you'll absolutely dumpster their safe lane because Furion's damage is fucking broken). You can play him a couple of different styles and have high game impact either way. The only situation in which he's bad is when your mid and carry pick something ultra greedy and the enemy team just pushes your shit in before your team is farmed enough to fight them and before you can split push fast enough.

Most of the time though, you just happily farm the lane while zoning their supports with treants and broken right clicks, tp in to other lanes for ganks (basically securing every lane if things go well), sniping couriers if you feel like it.. then you slowly transition from a global split pushing ganking menace into a right clicker with disables (bloodthorn, sheepstick etc) and end the game. And you always have the option to rat the shit out of them if you're losing.

Anyone play custom maps? I recently tried reincarnation and it's pretty lonely to play when you're grinding mobs.

is this code for something

So is this esports, or just semi-esports? It is a game full of pro players, but they're na "pros", so maybe like tier 5 semi-esports? Help me with the math on this one.

I have big hands and I palm grip my mice, so the middle mouse button is in an awkward spot for me to use if I'm constantly clicking M1 and M2. I'm forced to edge pan; I can't rebind M3 or M4 since they're control group hot keys.

/d2g/ inhouses happened all day every day for like 3 years before Reborn killed them.

>>187560785
Might wanna try a mouse with extra buttons on it. There's a slew of them, but I don't know which ones work best since I usually look at FPS mice, which lack a lot of extra functionality usually.
