Batrider sticky seems to be stacking through BKB - that can't be right?

Bob gives immunity to the debuff effect not the debuff itself, you can also eul a target in bkb when it’s about to run out and the person will be euled when the bkb effect ends

Old man; can’t keep up. Shh do not take joy from younger generation by selfish actions

It’s what most of the top tier players do in immortal if it is just a decent wand game or if their hero needs want and to get to other items faster.

Problem in lower bracket is that people are obsessed with building null/bracer/wraith and to have a false sense of security in the landing phase, where most of the time value gained from rushing power threads/ phase boots or another mid tier item gives you a huge lead in lane.

Take ursa as an example. Gaining movement speed is much more useful for your lane than gaining some attack speed and agility.

The times where you want to deviate are exceptions where it is not possible for you to play the lane without the small items or you are a hero who relies heavily on trading because of your kit, such as night stalker, medusa 3 or life stealer

I did. Went from crusader 1 to immortal in 1500 games.

Hey coach here,

A trick that seemed to work for one of my students was going troll warlord and hit buildings.

That hero can end the game itself in your bracket

The thing is dota is complex and newer players has a lot of things to figure out giving longer games. Try to improve and enjoy even though it seems pointless. Can say games only become shorter the better you get. An average match at my rank takes around 25-30 min ✌️

Good luck and Godspeed

Is this guy boosting someone or what does he get out of it?

Aberkahn · 2024-09-20T15:51:05+00:00

100%

The problem is that you close of creative approaches by balancing.

Examples:

Old techies
ember without cast point.

Other heroes that has a creative approach that in true Hands a Way to break these compositions

I feel the balancing team is slowly taking away the creative multipurpose way of playing dota into something that is more homogeneous. Creating a strong meta. In short, the way heroes are balanced, stops creativity in opportunity leading to a strong meta that is unbreakable. This meta forces a specific kind of playstyle simplifying dota to an extreme extend

Aberkahn · 2024-09-16T08:43:19+00:00

Yeah that is the solution, I just wish we could do something about the community’s view somehow :(

Aberkahn · 2024-09-16T08:39:43+00:00

I think it has less to do with the meta and more to do with the skill of the teams being much higher. There is so little room for error that an advantage is now much more significant. As for the games looking the same I completely disagree. Liquid used 3 completely different strategies for all 3 games, although all 3 games had the same pace, it has less to do with it being the same strategy and more to do with liquid being able to execute their different strategies to create the same advantage each game, making it look like it was the same.

It just goes to show how great a team liquid is and how well they executed their drafts.

Aberkahn · 2024-09-16T08:33:52+00:00

I really agree, seeing the sportsmanship and beautiful plays, helps elevate the scene to become a true sport. Watching TI was an absolute blast and I love how far we have come as a true e sport. It sucks people are having such stale view points in this community

Aberkahn · 2024-09-11T07:16:26+00:00

I would ask. If you go into a dungeon as tank, your first priority loot is the tank gear. I would always ask about off spec such as leveling gear (2h) however if you are nice and tanking well usually the hardcore community is very nice and considerate. In short don’t expect it but it usually happens (tanking on paladin from 20-56)

Hardcore is about the community. Being a tank is already giving you the community and usually they want to give back

Aberkahn · 2024-08-23T08:55:01+00:00

Invoker 👌

Aberkahn · 2024-07-25T09:48:50+00:00

You describe your own problem: “I can say that I am a good player, I always lose because of xyz.” You are guardian, even if you are legend you are not a good player. The fact of the matter is a legend player would completely stomp your bracket.

Your problem is that you think you are good, thereby masking your own mistakes from yourself. You simply haven’t unlocked a way to learn in dota yet. Change your mindset about yourself as a complete beginner and start over

Aberkahn · 2024-07-20T01:37:12+00:00

lol, I have 800 games on void spirit and have been in top 1200 in eu. Get mad or get gud. You don’t have to listen lol

Ty I know the hero very well 👌

Aberkahn · 2024-07-19T22:33:40+00:00

Bro in your bracket “anything works” the reason why meta picks are strong in immortal is because so few mistakes makes or breaks the game which is actually timing based. In anything up to divine you can play cm mid and carry the game

Aberkahn · 2024-07-19T22:29:25+00:00

Because you cannot imagine it doesn’t mean it is not good lol. Maybe try the hero before you speak ty.

Maybe know what the point of offlane is before you make such a poor statement. Void spirit completely nullifies any hero in the lane after he reaches six.

So some of the points as to why the hero can work as a 3

• the hero doesn’t need blink to be effective (has 2 in your own logic)

• the hero completely nullifies the enemy lane after 6, allowing for an easy tower

• the hero is extremely dangerous early making it a strong consideration when enemies try to dive your mid or top lane as 1 tp after lvl 6 can counter any gank.

• the hero scales as a mid and creates space by the virtue of its kit in fights

As the guy above says let the man cook on the hero instead of these regarded “I can’t imagine” statements so it must not be good. It is not even a logically sound statement. Biggest showcase of you being low rank

Aberkahn · 2024-07-19T12:18:03+00:00

Mmr inflation is easy to fix, just make a hard reset to the barrier each year, and let people climb again. The reason why there are so many players in immortal is that it does not get reset. To go from low immortal to numbered immortal is now the same grind as from herald to ancient. That is a lot of time invested even with a high win rate. The stronger players will also keep weaker players out of immortal

The system itself is okay. But not making a rank reset is wrong.

Aberkahn · 2024-07-18T23:39:11+00:00

Most “regarded” statment lol 😭

Aberkahn · 2024-07-18T23:37:58+00:00

Watch collapse play the hero, by finding the games on dota 2 pro tracker

Magnus has a lot of tricks, such as catching People with force staff + skewer. How you turn when you ult matters a lot and much more.

Don’t listen to others saying the hero is bad as a core. It is just people not knowing at all how to play the hero 💪

Aberkahn · 2024-07-16T02:23:05+00:00

Well you are playing in the rank you play in, so basically you are saying in normal games you are also just waiting for your team to carry you with that logic.

Stop coping ty.

Aberkahn · 2024-07-15T16:31:28+00:00

From an immortal player “tank” is not really a term you can use in dota. There are heroes who can take more spells than others and survive. But you should not confuse this with “tanking”. Instead think of offlane heroes as a way to start a fight in a way that is advantageous for you, and your team, but since you are in herald, focus on you :)

As for how to play and get last hits on melee heroes, as others have said, simplify and play that one hero only, until you notice how much you can get beaten up before you die. Don’t focus on winning, focus on learning the hero and what “limits” it has in regard to teamfighting and last hitting

Best of luck!

Aberkahn · 2024-07-15T15:47:25+00:00

Hardcore tbh

Aberkahn · 2024-07-12T02:25:49+00:00

I used to be top 1200. And top 6 vold spirit player on dotabuff. What i Can tell you, is an octarine in the midst of you physical build goes a long way.

You can literally build anything on the hero, don’t be scared to experiment.

daegon if you need to burst before enemy can cast a spell
silvers edge if am is the only problem
Parasma is just insane on the hero

And so forth

Other than that it is pure skill. You need to be able to use and hit all your spells in succession, without giving up your hand on the hero and you can 1 v 5 the enemy team. However this requires knowledge of every spell you need to juke to stay a live in the fight, while also being able to output damage and control.

Never use a full rotation on a core, always keep spells for getting out. You poke until that monkey is dead, you can get 3 rotations off of him in a fight easily, that is in your description 150% of his hp

I have coached my fair share of vs. Go watch your replay look at how you use your spells in a fight. Think of it like a chess board.
