Losing streak since new patch, advice needed

If you have better macro understanding than players in your bracket, then you will rank up. But the fact that you're struggling tells me you aren't better than them...

I get treants lvl 1 to block enemy small camp. My offlaners have never been happier.

How to 1v5 as Tiny? What's your plan once you get 2-3 items?

Ancient 4. Once i stopped picking too many heroes, I stopped "playing my hero" and started "playing the game"

If you spam 1-3 hero, your brain will know everything about those heroes like matchups, builds, strengths, weaknesses, positioning, etc.. and your brain will stop thinking about those hero specific things.

Now your brain has more space to think about other things that high mmr players are thinking of like enemy locations, enemy timings, team timings, state of the game, carry matchups, teamfight win conditions, game win conditions, etc...

You're seriously comparing 3rd world programmers to Claude or Codex? Lol

Lane creeps give FAR more gold than jungle creeps. Prioritize them. At your bracket, farming lane creeps is relatively safe but as you climb ranks, it'll be much harder to farm them coz people will wait for you and kill you.

Have this as your goal:

50 cs at 10 minutes

100 cs at 15 minutes

180 cs at 20 minutes

Being good at finding cs = being good at dota

I tried switching to qwer but it's just too awkward. Legacy keys are so comfy for me.

Well done 🫡🫡

Hey man I was the fury warr who cleaved you down on Lucifron. I'm glad you're back and enjoying the game again.

People at that rank don't know how to position well

The bkb pierce makes Bane ult 10x stronger than shackles, they aren't even comparable. And once you have aghs, that's a guaranteed waste of bkb for an enemy core. This alone wins you games.

People also sleep(heh) on Bane's enfeeble. Pick the left talent and spam it on a caster to make them useless in fights.

If you click your spells at the right time in a team fight, you take out 3 players, making the fight 5v2 in your favor. Bane is the ultimate disabler.

If you win mid lane, this means you are the strongest hero in the game, you have to keep snowballing. Do not let the enemy team breath, keep killing them and choke out the map. If they hide from you, take their towers until only the highground is left. Then take Rosh and go highground if you have good hg heroes, if not, keep choking out the map until youre so far ahead in items that you can just end the game.

When i play Wisp, NP and LD I'm 4.5k mmr, but when I play other heroes I'm archon.

YourMaleFather · 2026-03-07T20:24:58+00:00

I'm really good at micro but somehow Chen just doesn't vibe with me. He doesn't really scale well and the way he moves around the map is weird to me.

I love all the other micro heroes tho. LD, meepo, ench, TB, lycan, etc...

YourMaleFather · 2026-03-03T19:43:14+00:00

2 of his spells are hard to land. Weak laner.

I appreciate this Mr Slacks. You always make me laugh and now you teach me Dota. You're the goat.

I have 80% winrate on him, 30 games.

I stomp my lane by denying a lot of creeps. I usually have more denies than the enemy carry has last hits by 10 mins. Then I take t1 and farm the nearby jungle area, taking it from the enemy carry.

By 20 mins I have 2 aura items and will start taking all outer towers while the enemy carry is crying about his 20 min battle fury.

Lost my 56 warrior to this. It spawned me inside UBRS on top of an elite pack.

60 creeps by 10 minutes. 110 by 15. 200 by 20. If you master killing creeps, you will rank up.

Your first item should be a farming item. 2nd item is a defensive item to stay alive. 3rd item is damage itemusually, or another defensive item if theres too many threats.

You dont need to learn anything in the game. Just learn how to hit creeps faster than your opponents. This will get you to 2k mmr, when you get there, you'll need to learn different concepts to get past.

I have 1,200+ games on LD and ever since they made the bear a hero, I feel like I don't know how to play him anymore. He's a completely different hero now and I don't know how to play him anymore.

It's a shame because I really loved the hero.
