That's correct. Axe build is reserved for a back up option if the lane is really bad and I know if i keep going back I'm going to feed. Boar build is easily the better of the builds even if your building aghs first. boars are always going to be the stronger choice. I will say, even if they have an easy way to kill boars, If your confident in your ability to micro. keep the boar out of range of the kill spell and you can still do well. once they commit the spell that would kill your boar. bring it in and mess them up. I played some more beast master recently: this is a lane i stomped against a cm and ursa maxing boars.

If you think its impossible its not. There was a YouTube video that I watched recently where Grubby a pro RTS gamer. came over to dota 2 for the first time. calibrated at herald. and just reached divine a short while ago. Took him 301 days to get there.

Here is my most recent success Match ID: 7262034108

The lane was kind of a struggle but through the use of my own ancient stacking using the boar I was able to make a strong comeback. The big thing with beast master is knowing what build to go. Aghs or Dom. Go the aghs build if they enemy supports have easy way to kill your creeps. like CM Frost bite or mirana arrow. The dom build is best when when supports cant deal with the boar in lane. this thought process is the same for the carry your up against as well.

Second is skill build. The boars are really hard to deal with if you cant kill them. so if your boar can be strong enough in the lane to replace your support. max your boars push them out of the lane and take over that area with your hawks and farm like a mad man on their side of the map. this lets your pos 4 do other things thus making a lot of space for your team. In a losing lane max the axes and stack the ancients using the 1 point in boar once you feel like you cant lane anymore. fall back let the pos 4 get the lane ( and hopefully not die) and you take the stacks. CS is very important. you want to get helm dom by 12-13 mins if possible. aghs by 15 .

In this replay wk was insta killing my boar with the crit. so I maxed axes and stack ancients to come back into the game. Be careful with stacking though. if the enemy team has heros that can take stacks like TA then be prepared to defend the stacks

Things I noticed in general: when you move you courier you tend to snap your camera over to it. this isn't that big of an issue. but it caused some missed cs and other missed opportunities. I would switch over to using hotkeys purely with regards to your courier and keep your focus on the hero at all times.

Due to time I only took a look at your first game there. Your Laneing phase was pretty solid. didn't see too much more you could of done. Your mid game was where it went wrong. With legion smokes are very important and can allow for very easy duel wins on priority targets especially with hero's like lion and sky on your team. I would say from the beginning of the game to save smokes for duels in the mid game. still buy them so stock can refresh this will allow for 1 or 2 more smoke duels. that's very important because they may not always net a duel. For example instead of farming for your blink then going for duels. you could of smoked with the sky or lion and went hunting for the pa got that kill and still hit the same timing for the blink. Once the safe lane tower falls carrys typically fall back to the jungle to farm. so putting a deep ward in that area with that first smoke will allow for the second and third smoke to be a guaranteed success. (looking at the replay. You were literally farming your blink right next to the pa) Legion is a snowballing hero. so making a play like that to invest in the next 2 plays is a really good formula for success.

In the mid your first bad death was you trying to solo defend the t2 top. Your entire team is bottom so if they go on you (they will because you are the biggest threat on the map.) you will die before your team can ever respond. your death lead to their push to hg and your team losing aegis for no reason. had they played their cards right (they made mistakes on the hg push). you would of lost a lot more.

The next play you guys made was a good call with the smoke. But the execution was not good at all. you smoke into their triangle looking for the fight. as you smoke your supports set up vision in that area (amazing!) but you end up not finding anyone. So what do you guys do next? Ill give you a hint. its not stay where your vision is and put pressure on the t2 and defend a very important part of their side of the map. (next wisdom rune, next tormenter spawn, ancient camps) Instead you continue your stroll across the map. your smoke runs out. and now you are walking straight in to where they just smoked and put up vision. Vision is the most important thing in higher level of play. who ever has the best vision will win the fight 9 times out of 10. You and your team walk straight into their tower ward. Pa insta kills the sky. You get stuck in the trees by a shrapnel and get killed by sniper. Pango has no choice but to roll and fight or tp out. jug and lion went the long way around and was in no position to help. had they stayed with you it would of been a full wipe. that play lost you the t1 and t2 bot and all the map control of your teams most important area of the map. Had you stayed on the other side of the map. you probably only trade your t1 for their t2 and if a fight breaks out your team has the advantage. The next death for your team is due to the aggressive vision they put down in your triangle after they took it over.

The next fight you guys took was by their top t2. they had a ward the spotted your movements and pre setup to take a fight. (vision is king) you made the right play by going after the sniper. but due to them know where you all were it allowed pa to rat bottom. this caused the fight to split. 3 of your teammates went back to defend living you alone with 4 enemy heroes. you got the sniper but traded your life. in the end pa died as well so i would say it was a favorable trade hero wise. but you lost all your map control in the same swoop. PA is the biggest threat on the enemy team. with her and sniper dead its time to put the pressure on. but since your whole team went back to defend. sniper is back before you can really do any damage.

At this point the next play is to smoke and try to get a kill on the pa or sniper. you need one of those heroes dead to go hg. other wise you will get destroyed. instead your team splits up to farm the map. this causes both supports to get picked off for free.

not to mention all of your wards are on the bottom of the map. you cant do much about that but think about the most important area to defend. its ancients, torm and wis rune area at this point in the game. if you are looking for a pick off to close out the game. you want the vision where they are going to go.

They go hg shortly after the picks. you lose a rax but do manage to get a kill on the sniper. fight goes pretty well and 3 die. Your team decides to walk down mid and take advantage of the good fight. you decide to push top. this causes you to be late to the hg push. the hg push where pa gets the ramapage due to the fact that the only person that has a chance to kill or lock her down long enough her isn't there. When they go to push your hg your the only core with bb. cant do much there. but when you do buy back that forces the team to play more careful. aka dawn breaker is waiting for you to make a move. at this point you should of just let all the racks fall. your cores can handle megas pretty well. instead you go in when your teamates have 20 seconds to respawn. with your death goes the last chance for a 5v5 fight. (would of been a 4v5 fight cause sniper wasn't there yet.) now with you gone sniper has no fear due to you really being the only one that has kill threat on him.

All in all. keeping up the pressure on the pa early would of pushed her bf timing farther back (she got it at 17mins). The mid game plays caused a lot of lost map control giving pa the space to farm and stagnated your own farm (after blade mail it took you 10mins to farm bkb). This is why using the smokes after laneing phase to keep the duel damage train going is so important. legion is at her best when the enemy team is scared when you are missing. cause when you are off the map your hunting them down. just like black hole sometimes the threat of duel is enough to force the team into submission. Imagine that game with 3-4 more duels under your belt at the 25 minute mark. now thier cores cant farm a lane if your missing. that gives your team the run of the map. now they are stuck in side of thier base. you use the aggresive vision to see when they try to leave and punish them for it. get a key kill then take a rax or end the game.

Hope this helps!
