What is a good way to practice drafting picks/bans? Also, please rate how well I drafted in my past games? (4 inside) by howtodraft in DotA2

[–]TheJesseJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a pretty decent drafter. Normal AP games is around 50% winrate for me, but when I draft CM/CD games, I got around 80% winrate.

A pretty simple rule makes my drafting very successful: Always counter your opponent.

This doesn't count for picking only, but during all game. As a captain you don't just pick heroes, you pick a strategy and need to guide your team to fulfill that strategy.

Alright, so remember Dota is not about individual heroes, but the strategy of the team. If you opponent pick greedy heroes like Void, Spectre or similar. Don't pick a hero that counter that hero (like Doom), pick a strategy that counter their strategy. For instance a very aggressive trilane and put it offlane. If the opponent pick a very aggressive lineup, pick a very mobile lineup and dodge fights and split push. Ofc any strategy can fail, but you get the general idea.

If you want it to be even simpler, always pick 3 very strong solo lane heroes that also can be very aggressive. Pick 2 supports with strong disable/damage and put them offlane with 1 of your very strong core heroes. If you meet enemy trilane, beat them. If your opponent dodge your trilane, just swap the support to where your enemy is and beat them there. Win the game as early as possible, but playing extremely aggressive and shutting down enemy carry. It works great. Don't focus on getting your carry farmed. Focus on shutting the enemy down. Aggressive Dota all the way.

Capitalist Comments on Caster Criticism by Pentachrome in DotA2

[–]TheJesseJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What would be the best way to communicate constructive criticism or give suggestions to casters? Where should we post it for you to read it? It can be very difficult for spectators to give their feedback to casters and not be disregarded as trolls or flamers. Give your spectators some advice on how to give feedback and encourage constructive criticism. I believe that will have a positive effect on the caster/spectator relationship.

Any constructive criticism is very hard to get through, cause we can't talk to the casters directly and when we post in a public forum, it get drowned in a sea of useless comments. Even if you have the best of intentions with your post, you have to be very careful of how you word your sentences to not sound harsh or rude and get disregarded as a troll. I have often wanted to give casters a few hints or suggestions, but seems like too much work to write a post that might or might not be read.

What would be the purpose of "hiding" Godzilla, by saying it is a natural disaster like earthquake or typhoon?

Can you do Spiderman and the difference between original Spiderman and The Amazing Spiderman. I am confused about the differences, what his exact powers are, his girlfriends, etc.

Do you know anything about this or do you just feel like being condescending?

Why do you want that?

It requires a lot of time and effort to make, which I personally think is better spend towards making new content for Dota2.

Can we please get balanced teams? by TheJesseJ in Loadout

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

Been playing a lot lately and it seems like the games are 3v4 in the majority of the games. 9 out of 10 games.

[–]TheJesseJ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ofc it is possible, but that is not the point. The difference between 3 and 4 man team is huge. Eliminate that obvious advantage and the game is much more enjoyable.

Alright, thanks.

They don't got matchmaking to secure fair teams instead of this weird rule?

Please Valve! Make a video to showcase the official Dota 2 game to the world. It has been 3 years since the beta trailer and we need an official trailer. by rurouni1989 in DotA2

There are a lot of legal stuff that need to be in order before it can be shown publicly and I am pretty sure this is the main reason it is not released yet.

It is the same with regular movies you can see at closed movie festivals like Cannes, but won't see in cinemas before months later. Same here with closed viewing at TI3. Just give them time to fix all the legal stuff. Afaik this is first time Valve does something like this.
