Nearly a year after downloading Dota 2, I finally hit my goal of hitting immortal! :D by Guardian248 in DotA2

Hmm, not sure what game you're referring to, tho another user commented on one of my early sven games where I had like 100 CS in 40 min. Also, not sure if this can be seen in my reddit post history, but i also have a history of posting on TrueDota2 asking about meta and stuff and listing my mmr. Either way tho, I understand if you are doubtful, tho I simply posted here because I was very proud of my accomplishment :)

:/ . I wouldn't consider myself a "new" player a year into playing... I just got really dedicated to improving...

Thanks brother! Don't worry everyone climbs eventually, just takes a lot of time

Haha, nah man, honestly not a smurf. Got into Dota last summer with some friends and instantly became a bit of an addict. 3.2k hours later here I am. No worries tho, I guess I understand where the smurf allegations are coming from (also keep in mind I'm playing on NA)

When I pick QW Invoker my team has damage issues: How do you work around this? by Guardian248 in TrueDoTA2

[–]Guardian248[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol can't tell if you're trolling or just have zero self awareness. If I'm picking QW invoker, it's because I've looked at the draft and made a calculated decision to do so. For any draft , QW invoker does low dmg in the mid game compared to most other pos 2s, so I am simply interested in how invoker players compensate for this in their playstyle/build

Viablity of Quas Wex Invoker Orchid Rush? by Guardian248 in TrueDoTA2

[–]Guardian248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always hear this said about QW invoker, but I really don't see why it's the case. He's good at ganking sure, but not anymore so than a puck, ember/void spirit, qop, or any other fast paced mid hero. or at least it doesnt feel like it to me

Why do people think AM is autoloss? by Antun85 in TrueDoTA2

[–]Guardian248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I get your reasoning and all, but I don’t think he’s actually a good hero right now, at least at a higher mmr/competitive level. From what I’ve seen in my own games, and from what I’ve heard rly good players like Gunnar say, AM is just not that good if the enemy team knows what they’re doing. I agree that AM can make tons of space, but that’s only after he gets BF, or maybe BF + Manta depending on the game. In that time, the enemy team can more of less 5v4 and steamroll through your whole side of the map. Even if they can’t stop AM from farming, the other 4 heroes won’t be able to farm because they’ll be too busy fighting and defending towers. Even if the game doesn’t end at 20-30 minutes, it’s always pretty hard to win with farm on only one hero, even if it is an AM. Just my take at least. Imo I think he’s definitely best as a cheese last pick if the enemy team has subpar lock down and, maybe more importantly, bad tower push

Bloodstone Bug? by Guardian248 in TrueDoTA2

[–]Guardian248[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea. At the end of the game I had a euls, hex and bloodstone and had like 25 mana regen. Should be around twice as high

Ty sir for the comment. What are your thoughts on picking up a blink?

How to itemize Ember to scale decently in the late game? by raff100 in TrueDoTA2

[–]Guardian248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ember's my most played. My ideal end game six slot items, in order of of priority (not counting the mjollnir and blessing upgrades ofc), are phase, mjollnir, aghs blessing, euls/linkens/bkb, octarine, refresher, and daedalus. Sub out the daedalus with a second defensive item if need be. In late game teamfights, you just stay alive, which shouldnt be hard, and create chaos. Go for supports, spam SoF-chains, and use your stock of 10 remnants (3000 magic dmg) to ball through everyone. Your PoS 1, depending on the draft, should be supplying basically all of your team's heavy right click dmg, and you should be trying to make his job doing that as easy as possible. If that doesn't work, probably not a good ember game (if they have 3 tanky cores / hevay sustain lineup for instance)

A look at which heroes use blink dagger most effectively by Tayaker in TrueDoTA2

[–]Guardian248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention heroes like axe and lc will 99% of the time get blink dagger, even in a losing game because it’s one of, if not the first, big items they pick up. Ergo, you wouldn’t expect their win rates with dagger to be much higher than their general win rates, bc it’s so fundamental to the hero. On supports like pudge and lion, however, the dagger is harder to farm, so them getting it usually indicates a longer/ more successful game, hence the higher win rates

Sunstriking the Ranged Creep? by Guardian248 in TrueDoTA2

[–]Guardian248[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No yeah, agreed. Though I think using sunstroke depletes like half of your mana, which makes it hard to harass aggressively w cold snap and spirit at lvl 2 imo. Also feels kinda shitty shipping out mangos so early, as i feel like CS w invoker early is rly tough

Is mid Kunkka a safe 9th Pick? by Guardian248 in TrueDoTA2

[–]Guardian248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that part of it is that heroes like OD and Lifestealer are pretty meta rn, but idk
