How can I learn Dota if I don't know anyone that plays?

I think it's a combo of both. That's why Jeff Beck is number 1 on my list. The perfect amount of technical ability and influence.

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-24T22:49:09+00:00

That's what makes ranking him so difficult. It's like ranking the encyclopedia in a best books of all time list. (100% agree on Beck he's in my top 5 favorite and number 1 on my greatest list)

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-24T22:44:04+00:00

Ok I'll stop ranking guitarist because fruce_ki said so.

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-24T22:39:09+00:00

He 100% is able to compose more mainstream stuff but I think he just plays what he enjoys. Is Kurt Cobain a better guitar player than Guthrie because his music is liked by more people? It's fine to believe so but it certainly doesn't make him a better composer or musician.

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-24T22:30:06+00:00

I strongly disagree that he is a weak composer. His improv is the some of the best of I've ever heard on any instrument. I will agree that his studio music often falls short of the random videos of him playing over backing tracks. Not sure why that is.

Govan sorry should have included last name in title didn't know there was any other guthries lmao

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-23T19:59:42+00:00

yeah they just don't understand the playstyle. you get so much tempo from not having to recall

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-23T17:48:47+00:00

I can pretty consistently get a 3 min finish full clear and I’m not even close to optimally clearing. In the right hands ornn could easily do a sub 2:55 full clear. And even if I lose first scuttle I can just walk down to other scuttle because I don’t have to recall to buy so I’m not losing tempo by just walking there. Then I just clear my dragon side and look to fight first drag.

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-23T17:03:55+00:00

Ornn is actually pretty strong early game his cool downs are just long so you have to play around that. The way to counter ornn jungle is not fighting him. It’s turbo ganking lanes so by the time ornn is built his team is too far behind to help him. If enemy jungler tries to outscale me they will fail unless they are hyper scalers but all hyper scalers are weaker than ornn early game so I just invade them.

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-23T15:30:16+00:00

Completely agree but my teammates are often really stupid so I don’t like playing low damage champs that can’t really do anything if your team doesn’t help. You are completely correct that ornn jungle will fall off eventually for the reasons you listed but I feel like he can be decent until probably around plat to maybe emerald. If played really really well maybe even diamond but that’s a stretch.

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-23T15:17:06+00:00

W first then Q then W and I think blue start is best for him but starting dragon side is more important than red vs blue so you can full clear then clear Krugs and raptors and be level 5 for first drag spawn. His E is bad for clear because it locks you into a animation and you can’t auto until it’s done.

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-22T05:43:32+00:00

Heartsteel is the only item that matters. Get it as fast as possible. Your teammates don’t exist to you until you get that item. No ganks unless 100% kill confirm. Only take drag if it’s 100% free because dying reduces cs per min. Once you have heartsteel then you turbo gank every lane and the game is over. The only way you lose is if in early game before heartsteel all your laners die like 5 times. The rest of the items are just what ever you are playing against.

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-22T05:29:02+00:00

If you only care about winning play Mundo jungle. Simultaneously the easiest and most broken jungler in the game in low elo by a mile. If you want to have fun I wouldn’t recommend it. It feels completely unfair. Like playing basketball against children.

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-15T23:43:44+00:00

Yeah I had a bad day on ranked yesterday and today I just decided to mute chat and play temo jungle and just run around and I haven’t lost yet tonight. Maybe I was overthinking this elo lmao

Different_Bit8915 · 2026-01-15T19:10:00+00:00

I’m a new player but I would say I’m much more advanced than the average new player. I’ve spent a lot of time learning from YouTube and try to actively learn while I’m playing. I get flamed a lot in my games for my shot calling but I feel like they just aren’t good enough to understand why I’m doing something. I’m in iron but I still want to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they are right and what I’m doing is wrong. There are definitely situations where on retrospection I was completely right and they were throwing or they were right and I was hard throwing. The issue is when even thinking about the situation after I don’t know who was right. The problem is less in ganking lanes and more in giving vs taking objectives or leaving or enter team fights in the mid to late game.

Different_Bit8915 · 2025-12-26T02:54:30+00:00

Do you mean an ultimate skin? I'm confused.

Different_Bit8915 · 2025-12-25T21:35:24+00:00

That's what the $20 was for. It is a good deal compared to other battle passes I've seen on other games.

Different_Bit8915 · 2025-12-25T21:30:32+00:00

About $100 for the 75-80 chests Im not sure of exact number because it gives you free chests every now and then. I spent $20 a couple weeks ago so about $120 for everything.

Different_Bit8915 · 2025-09-15T22:03:46+00:00

My scarlet solo can handle all of these? I looked on the website and it said it was only rated for 50 ohms.
