When Losing: - First of all, detect this early! It's too late when you're losing 0 - 20 in kills! Not being able to farm still counts as losing your lane!
In teamfights, try to single him out and 5v1 him. That's it for the main part of the guide! Now for some extra stuff you can do that isn't actively playing DOTA! Being in an unfit condition when going Ranked will cause you to lose matches like it's going out of style. Notable examples include: - Feeling tired or sleepy, or being drunk this has a massively negative impact on reflexes - Being angry or stressed especially if the anger is because you lost a previous game You should always check before going for a game that you feel ready to spend 40 or more minutes of your time in front of the PC.
Don't just blindly select "Find Match" before consciously deciding that you are ready to play, and more importantly, ready to win. Watch replays of your losses The first step to facing your mistakes is actually figuring out what the hell went wrong. In most games I've played, there's usually a certain turning point that can be found by using the gold and XP graphs as well that decided the game.
Rewatching a teamfight that went wrong for your team multiple times will show you exactly what went wrong and how, and if you're to blame, congratulations! Now you'll never make that mistake again! Watching your replays will also help you spot enemy hero builds and teamfight positioning, and you can steal their moves to use them against your enemies in the next game.
Watching replays of victories is also useful. If you spotted one of your allies doing really well with a certain hero, you may want to try that hero yourself! After all, you already have play-by-play footage to teach you how to build that hero. Watch replays of top players After you realize where you make mistakes and get around to fixing them, your MMR will improve, but very slightly. To truly rise in rank, you must play consistently better than your opponents.
But since they are at the same skill level as you, how can you improve? The answer to this is watching replays of high MMR players. If you're trying to learn a specific hero, watching someone else play him can give you unique insight into that hero's capabilities.
Also, you can straight up learn all kinds of new tricks, and use them on your opponents in your next games. High MMR games are also a good indicator of where the metagame will be heading towards. It's super easy to do this: Just head over to Dotabuff , look up your favorite hero in the search bar, then check the the Hero Rankings on the right side.
Look up recent replays of top players, get the the Match IDs, and start watching! I recommend using the Player Perspective camera. When I began watching games a little before TI3 is when I really started to do so , I noticed the casters were mentioning things that I had never heard of before namely, certain hero combos, and the intricate jungle camp warding metagame. This is also where I learned appropriate times for purchasing core items.
Some pro players stream DOTA 2 at times, and you can definitely learn a thing or two from watching them, as it is a player-perspective camera of high-ELO games. Also, some of the more active or intelligent streamers actually discuss metagame picks. However, it is not so much a learning experience as it a chance for people to spread toxicity masked as based memes. If you are going to copy something from a streamer, please let it be their mechanical skills, not item destroying and all-chat typing 'im done' after 5 minutes.
Simply having a general idea about every hero's abilities, possible core builds and gameplay will give you the ways to counter those heroes when you're against them. It's also a must if you ever want to learn Rubick. Also, if your English is up to speed, try writing a guide here yourself! Didn't think about this one, did you?
Well, reader, grab your pen and paper keyboard and mouse and get started! It has been proven that the best way to learn something is to try to teach it to someone else. You can also find plenty of useful stuff in general DOTA guides, which don't specify on building a single hero, but focus on the more general mechanics of the game.
In fact, you are reading one of those guides right now! Well done! From dota2. Check 'em out! Duncan Geere's How to learn a hero in two hours Quickly learn the basics about any hero with this simple method! This guide is heavily based on it. It's a must read. Very detailed. All the articles of his Three Lane Highway series make excellent reads, especially this one. Almost too much detail.
Chris Thursten's Why playing the blame game will always hold you back Dedicated to anyone who tells me they're not to blame for being in the trench. This chapter includes "tales from the potato bracket", i.
Current number of Tales: 9 The Time I Played Vladmir's Offering Wraith King Spoiler: Click to view It's usually redundant to stack item auras of the same kind on a hero who already has that kind of item aura as an innate ablility. Would you build lifesteal on a Lifestealer?
Would you build Orb of Venom on a Venomancer? Probably not. In this sense, Vladmir's Offering lifesteal aura is basically an inferior Vampiric Aura, as it doesn't work on ranged units editor's note:at the the time it didn't, it does work now and offers much less lifesteal.
So you wouldn't build it on a Wraith King , right? In this match I played some time ago, I played a support WK build and bought a Vlad's as a first core item. You can imagine my team's reaction when they saw me buying the item. Our team's Pudge was skeptical when I announced I would be playing support Wraith King and babysitting our carry Phantom Assassin , but when I bought the Vlad's his brain exploded.
That's when the enemy Nature's Prophet said: "Vlad's is a support pushing item too. Let's look at some facts of the game: - Vladmir's Offering aura stacks with Vampiric Aura. Those are the reasons that made me get a Vlad's. Pudge and Sand King also won their lane, so we ended up stomping the enemy team. This brings me back to something everyone's talking about: Adapting an item build to the game in question.
In most cases, going straight for an early Blink Dagger would have been the best choice, but in this match, I adapted my item build to match what my team's heroes truly needed. Most heroes have the same central gameplay: Four abilities, enough HP to make a mistake without dying, no need to micromanage units, and can simply follow the recommended item build and win without needing to understand the deeper mechanics of the game.
There are four heroes that differ greatly from these standards, and by learning how to play them, you will understand the mechanics of DOTA much better. Playing Invoker requires near-pianist levels of accurate and fast keyboard mashing to play even at a decent level. And you can go even further by creatively combining the spells to decimate your opponents in a teamfight: Tornado into Chaos Meteor into Deafening Blast into Cold Snap into Sun Strike.
That's five active spells of teamfight destruction, each requiring three buttons to set up, one R to Invoke , and one button to cast. I punch those numbers into my calculator and it makes a happy face.
After learning Invoker , standard heroes feel like you're playing in slow-motion. Crystal Maiden : Maiden or any other slow-moving hard support hero dies SO easily. For normal heroes, crossing the river into enemy territory alone means death. For Crystal Maiden, though, being alone outside of the fountain means death. Even though her basic abilities are not hard to cast, it is near impossible to not die in a teamfight, because everyone knows CM is squishy, and focuses her down first, even bypassing the carry to kill her.
Playing Crystal Maiden alone is a frustrating test of patience, as you are playing a supporting role to an ungrateful team. But, in your constant attempts to not die, you will gain amazing map awareness and teamfight positioning skills, which are good to have with any hero. Meepo : Whereas you can play some micro heroes without really microing at all I've seen people play Beastmaster without a single point in Call of the Wild , it is impossible to play Meepo without proper micromanagement skills.
Learning Meepo will get you into the habit of setting up unit control groups and properly using active abilities on all your units, a skill which will help you when buying a Necronomicon and open up more micro-intensive heroes like Visage. Morphling : Morphling is an utterly unique hero, in that his Strength and Agility are not steady, but "liquid" and you are able to change the balance at will with his Morph abilities.
Learning how to effectively use this balance will help you understand how primary atrributes work in-game better than any strategy guide. The mighty beast who's hunt has been a central point of so many games of DOTA, and completely ignored in others.
Don't believe me? Check this. And this. Even professional teams try to take an easy Roshan and hope to not be spotted by their enemies before it's too late. The main problem with Roshan is this: Battling him is a right-click damage-per-second race with an unclear timer. Sometimes teams that are completely stomping their enemies STILL don't have enough damage or health to fight Roshan and live. You own in teamfights, but what are you gonna do to Rosh?
Steal his mana? This means telling your team that you need to battle Roshan is NOT always a good idea. This simple bad decision can throw a game you were easily winning before. So, what can you do? Have all of these in mind when telling your team "Guys let's do Rosh".
If that enemy Spectre is dead but has buyback up, it's a good time to tell your teammates that you can't do Roshan. Hopefully, your teammates will listen. They didn't listen to me when that happened. Never change, Potato Bracket. This match I played recently, was not a Solo Ranked match for me, but it was one for the Vengeful Spirit on our team.
It all started with Venge saying in-chat, before the match began, that she would Smoke of Deceit gank the enemy Puck at level 1. Ganking the enemy mid early is a great idea, and I even recommend it in this guide. I chose Ancient Apparition and said I'll gank with her. Now, since Puck can insta-escape a gank with Illusory Orb , our chances of getting first blood were next to nothing.
We went anyway though, let our mid Storm Spirit pick up the first Illusion rune, then smoked up and ganked Puck from the top. While we were getting close to Puck, our Storm started right clicking Puck with himself and his Illusions, and Puck went back to hug the tower. Of course, this messed up the gank, since we couldn't level 1 tower dive a freaking Puck. I simply cast my Cold Feet and left. Vengeful Spirit , on the other hand, tower dived Puck alone, and died.
So the guy who was playing Venge started shouting at Storm over the mic for messing up the gank, then went back to mid lane and kept trying to kill Puck. GG no re ff pls? Not quite yet. Our Anti-Mage had scored two early game kills, and Storm was adequately farming, though his reflexes were very slow and he got killed once or twice.
Where we really lost the ball was after the mid game. Three times I sent an Ice Blast towards an enemy close to Vengeful Spirit , and every time it hit them, Venge would have gotten a kill with a single stun from her Magic Missile. But she didn't do it, and just sat there looking at the Ice Blast hit, then the enemy walking away.
This really pissed me off, because I thought it was unfair that she was angry at Storm Spirit for not cooperating, when she wasn't doing so either.
Vengeful Spirit responded to this by buying a Force Staff , and using it on me to send me right into the enemy team. To top it off, she then sent the courier directly into our enemies. GG no re, ff pls. This game made me feel sad, because Venge had a really good idea at the start of the match, but she let anger get the better of her when that simple first plan didn't work out.
Not to mention the beginning rank beeing bronze 4 right? Also we are only just coming u to the first split of s11, if we accept the figures from the site you referenced. Help us improve Answers HQ!

You can easily throw games in AOE2 to lose elo so if someone wants to play in low elo you cant stop them. This is true for every game and there is always gonna be smurfs, so not much to say beside accept it. In addition you obivously know some terms and the difference between a noob and an average player.
That tells me your not a noob yourself so i don't see the point of this post. Or is my evaluation incorrect?
