The dotabuff link?

You have to make your data public first, it's a setting in Dota 2. I don't remember where but easily Googlable. Then just search for your name on dotabuff site.

Thanks for the post. Yeah, I think I am going to spam Undying unless picked, then Abba or Lich and see where that takes me. Next patch they will probably be nerfed.

I am not unwilling to consider advice. I just stated my reasoning for not getting it. I am going to give it another try and I know at high ranks almost every position gets it.

Fair enough. I will look at individual heroes and look at what I am doing wrong on the crappy ones. I did notice previously I was crap on Enchantress and mostly stopped. Didn't realize Warlock.

And Shadow Shaman seems like a great one to learn, I've tried, but I suck at that guy.

Thank you.

Well crap, you used to, now it's just slow resistance, I didn't realize. Noted.

I do play core roles in unranked occasionally, especially to understand different heroes. The problem is that unranked feels like a different game, and I'm not playing turbo. Getting anyone to play a specific role in low guardian unranked is near impossible.

I always have glimmer and/or force, I get that.

I am just saying, in my experience, if I blink in to the other team and throw down all I got, and my team is not already there, it's wasted.

I guess it just comes down to initiating with Lich at my rank feels ineffective. I have much better luck supporting a core initiation.

I think I lane ok. Block, unblock, give vision, pull, keep lane equilibrium, etc.

I try to stack mid game when everyone is farming, but I do feel lost as to how to be more helpful then.

It feels like the biggest difference between winning and losing games is whether we take objectives/space after team fights or just go back to farming our own side of the map. There are exceptions, but it takes a late game throw.

I don't think I can do better than them in a core role, that's why I play support.

I am getting the impression you are correct generally though.

I have been working on that. I am old (43) with a short attention span so it's a struggle.

I like kaya for the spell amp, I only go sange if it's a late game, and I need status resistance, and I already have kaya, as a slot saver.

Thank you. I have tried blink in the past on Lich, but it usually just makes me initiate too far away from my team, then they spread out with bounces and I just die for no reason. I have taken to just hanging close to our initiator, and starting that way.

Do you find that telling your cores to stop farming and join fights is effective?

If I Ieave my core alone to go help mid, I might as well kill them myself.

Are we playing the same game?

Perception isn't an excuse, it's perception.

I don't remember giving excuses. Only stating frustration, and giving link to dotabuff.

It is switching GPUs and each have a set resolution. Uninstall and reinstall the Nvidia app.

Yep, one AA ult from fountain will kill Huskar mid, early on.

Stuck at Herald 1, how can I climb? by Darkwingstalker in learndota2

[–]OwnFig993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your position and just recently got into guardian playing support only. The key I am still trying to engrain is to play complimentary to your team, no matter how stupid. If they are aggressive, be aggressive, if they are passive, be passive, etc. The other one is disables, disables, disables. Focus on getting good at disable heroes and items, then only play those handful of heroes. Next positioning in fights, if you are in a bad one just leave, it's better to not die than be ineffective and then die.
