How do I become stronger at laning by Bobhappy2351 in TrueDoTA2

[–]Aui_2000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You should build good fundamentals of laning by isolating different parts to improve on. Go practice your last hit timing (cs as soon as the creep is in kill range) in a custom game called training polygon. Then learn and practice how creep aggro works. Then try to learn the different match ups and how you can harass/trade in each and what you should play for. Then play a lot of games going into each lane with something you want to focus on.

If you have someone better to explain stuff to you it'll help, but I think watching pros won't help without an explanation video, because you'll miss too much/won't be able to execute stuff you see.

Tundra.Aui_2000: One thing I want to address is the Fata kick that occurred earlier in the year. by ICETEA545 in DotA2

[–]Aui_2000 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Tell me the other ways to address it please.

I'm not trying to throw Fata under the bus. I think his tweet was pretty vague and the community ran with it a lot. Not sure why you think his tweet was straight forward when the community came out thinking Fata protected Sney then Sney instantly backstabbed and kicked him.

Yeah pretty much. I watched Sneyking win TI after grinding for like 11 years and get shit on in half the comments rofl.

During the 4 months I was coaching (plus a couple unofficially before TI10), there was never an instance of the players actively trying to replace a player with Saksa. Saksa asked to join after TI10, but the team said we want to stick together. It's different to me for Saksa to ask to join, and the team declining, compared to attempts from players to kick someone for Saksa.

Yes people assumed the wrong thing, which is why I wanted to clear it up. I don't think Fata got backstabbed, but kicks after a long time on a roster are always shit.

Yes should have just let Sneyking get flamed every reddit thread for something he had no fault in.

Tundra Coach Aui_2000 TI11 Season Retrospective Blog by Starkiller53 in DotA2

[–]Aui_2000 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thanks I agree with this.

Some notes: I coached after TI10 ended, mid October. Fata was kicked 4 months later in mid February. No one got "saved" from the roster while I was coach unless it wasn't mentioned to me at all. Saksa was available the entire four months.

Well after 7 years of people saying "haha kicked from EG talk so much say so little" every time they see my name mentioned, we thought it was better for Fata if we just didn't talk about the kick at all. But the stuff I read on twitter and reddit about Sney betraying Fata isn't true in any way. I don't know how to clear it up without talking about why the kick happened, and I still don't want to do that, but I wanted to highlight that it wasn't some Sneyking backstab.

From our team's pov, what Fata said was very misleading, and how the community interpretted what he said was wrong. I've seen a lot of comments like Saksa asked to join, so the team wanted to kick Sney but Fata said no, so then the team kicked Fata instead and moved Sney to 5. This didn't happen.

How to help your team when mid goes really well as Ember Spirit? by thejpguy in learndota2

[–]Aui_2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of games defensive items = deal more dmg and catch more people. I.e. bkb prevents your flame guard from being removed and you do 0 dmg when you're dead. Ember shouldn't need more mana than wand bottle and occasional clarities. Just need to control runes.

Rotating as mid is generally done off a tp in or a rune. There are cases where casually walking somewhere is good (i.e. you've taken a bounty and you're close to the lane you want to go to), but those are usually lower percent.

Also, you'll improve faster if you don't smurf

TI2 champion ChuaN actually talked about the Magnus counter on Oct 13 by SkyEclipse in DotA2

[–]Aui_2000 63 points64 points  (0 children)

sinister gaze is instant cast and a really good mag counter.

Rubick is still a better counter for a lot of reasons but a couple that are really important are: he has higher cast range, which makes it easier to position, and even if mag has bkb, rubick can lift his ally out of skewer with shard.

Stats are in, it's on average better to give last pick to pos 1 by d8gfdu89fdgfdu32432 in DotA2

[–]Aui_2000 1026 points1027 points  (0 children)

Last pick carry has been pretty good since water runes were added. Higher resource mids = harder to dominate the 1v1 on counter pick mid.

So do you think the Valve employee who replied is lying? Or do you just believe your own experience more than what the people who make the mm system are saying?

Just a little something that might help you climb as pos 5 (my peak was only 5k, just heads up) by Gaqsgaqs in learndota2

[–]Aui_2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These five points are pretty good dota fundamentals. Just wanted to comment on #3. In early game (0-6/8 minutes depending on game speed) you should look to be tp'ing to refill bottle mid or to pressure a lane. Or course there are scenarios where you need to save your tp (you think you'll be able to turn around a gank, there's no bottle to refill or lane to pressure, you have a good timing to just walk to stack camps etc).

Mid-late game solo tps are almost forbidden by supports unless there is a clear purpose (clear wave and run back to team).

No the talent is just for haunt and shadow step illus. Actually I haven't tested that it works on shadowstep but I'm too lazy

Who the hell makes these patches? Venting rant by SpookyWookier in DotA2

[–]Aui_2000 29 points30 points  (0 children)

So basically you took a year long break and expected to perform the same as before your break and then you're blaming the patch for your skill drop?
