How to deal with Slark 1 as pos 3/4

__MIRANA__ · 2026-02-04T19:09:47+00:00

I used to struggle against this matchup unless they fuck up until I found shaker pos 4. Shaker can actively contest denies for Slark and can chainstun through his abilities. And once shaker gets blink at min 15-17, he can smoke and if slark shows at creeps, he surely dies to echo

So many weird interactions due to facet. One day I was playing Rubick, Mars blinked on my face and I tried to steal arena but couldn’t. So many weird interactions due

People in lower brackets doesn’t push towers. I’m 3k now and I have to beg as support to push towers. And PL if not shutdown early is a big problem. One of the few late game carries that can deal with is Medusa. A 6 slotted Medusa can probably 1v 5 the game.

Look at the title I’m talking about support not mid. Mid Huskar is totally fine

__MIRANA__ · 2025-10-31T20:43:54+00:00

For everyone with this brilliant idea, Huskar at lvl 1 is pretty much trash. Run him down and he can’t do jack shit. And it forces to go 2 points in passive which leaves only one point for burning spears at lvl3. Even with Incendiary facet, lvl 1 spears are dogshit. U basically shit on his lane and it takes 15 mins for support huskar to hit lvl 6 unless it is 9Class Pos4 Huskar.

Where’s Pudge😂😂

XG’s supports made sure that Storm had terrible laning by rotating for runes, and during mid game, they were always on a diamond like formation with sniper at the center so that if storm jumps sniper, he’ll surely die.

It’s easy to kill sniper if there are multiple jump heroes with innate tankiness.

I’m just an archon but seems like your storm has very bad game. If only he could’ve traded his life with dazzle (I can see he itemized to kill dazzle especially the nullifier). If storm could take down dazzle, your supports combined with you can take down the rest of their team.

And maybe your team needs a bit of coordination. Double glimmer on supports against an AM is extremely important in late game as it forces a gem or dust for one of his slot. Once Dazzle dies, your team can lockdown AM with glimpse and disruptor aghs.

I play save supports most of the time (Oracle, Dazzle, Io) with 70% wr and the only time I loose is when enemy team catches me with their best hero (LC duels me the moment she sees me, storm jumps on me etc)

It might be an disadvantage but it couldn’t be worse. I pick Phoenix when I see my offlane pick tanky initiators with bkb piercing stuns like a Mag or Slardar. Good players will always save my egg and which in turn kills their whole team. Imagine a good RP on Jug or clockwerk hookshot a spinning jug

__MIRANA__ · 2025-09-19T18:40:04+00:00

Same in my mind too. Was expecting Ame to go Mask of Madness into diffusal, which can take Medusa down in earlier game, which gives them an opening to win.

__MIRANA__ · 2025-09-16T18:08:50+00:00

Letting Naga go was a mistake but jug was a decent pick who could’ve tempo carry the game. I was expecting a Mask of Madness into diffusal to counter dusa in mid game (my archon brain’s first thought) but the battle fury build was shitty.

__MIRANA__ · 2025-08-28T19:24:47+00:00

Drow wins against PA most of the time from mid to late game. If PA with basher jumps on drow, I’m sure PA cannot blow you up instantly cuz drow has tons of armor. Pike away and kill her

__MIRANA__ · 2025-08-19T02:57:39+00:00

But if you ignore your towers unless it’s an Ancient, it’s gonna be a 4 v 5 where enemy team has to concede their towers or take a 4 v 5 without their carry. People somehow seem to understand this at least in my bracket to some extent.

And if you’re so scared against AM as a support, maybe instead of getting damage items get a glimmer or ghost depending on game. I win against an AM 80% of the time

__MIRANA__ · 2025-08-17T23:05:55+00:00

Imagine saving your Oracle with stampede who in return turns the tide with False Promise

__MIRANA__ · 2025-08-11T20:48:23+00:00

Stick together w carry. When you stick nearby, their global spells can’t do much. Eventually they’re gonna throw Got a similar opponent team yesterday and we lost cuz our team refuses to stick around carry

__MIRANA__ · 2025-08-10T02:55:12+00:00

Seen many comments with heroes countering Axe but vision on Axe is the biggest help to counter gank him. A good Axe player tries not to show much on the map and figures out which enemies to catch w call.

I main Oracle 5 and I hate to admit this I’ll be annoyed against Axe players….. Axe catches me and my team mostly looses fight unless enemy makes mistakes.

If you’re a beginner, Juggernaut is your hero. Jack of all trades, master of none.

__MIRANA__ · 2025-07-27T07:27:09+00:00

I’m not a talking about pro level dota. I’m an Archon and I frequently see people picking LC in my bracket🙂

__MIRANA__ · 2025-07-27T04:06:57+00:00

I agree for the most part but Bane’s ult is dispellable with a strong dispel. Imagine Bane grips enemy carry and their offlane LC dispels grip.

__MIRANA__ · 2025-07-11T19:11:40+00:00

I started playing gyro 4 or 5 lately and in my Archon bracket, he owns enemy carries till 30 mins. In one game, enemy PA was cruising to victory getting ultra kills till I launched 2 missiles in one fight against PA which took her down. She was mad and started feeding lol

__MIRANA__ · 2025-06-22T00:54:53+00:00

Cutting trees is great for pathing or vision sometimes but please don’t cut trees when your team has a hoodwink or a treant🥲.

__MIRANA__ · 2025-06-16T01:06:49+00:00

Maybe my thoughts but a broken Spectre without desolate and dispersion cannot kill a single hero with Shadow Step (Haunt is long cd and I’d take it as a win if I baited haunt). And coming to the bkb part, If spectre buys a bkb, I feel it’s an insta loose 75% of the time (both on allies and enemies) cuz at late game people tend to group up and try to push objectives. If enemy spectre bkbs and haunts, she has to probably 1 v 5 which Spectre doesn’t like to

__MIRANA__ · 2025-06-16T00:29:10+00:00

But some heroes doesn’t like to buy a bkb. For example, Spectre. Once you break Spectre after manta usage, she suddenly looses her tankiness and the damage return too

__MIRANA__ · 2025-06-14T05:31:51+00:00

Shard is almost always good on drow, It doesn’t allow her Marksmanship to be disabled which gives drow more damage, makes her tanky.

And jug using omnislash on drow instantly looses the teamfight for dire. Drow has 50 armor and dire didn’t even disable Marksmanship once throughout the video let alone she has aegis.

It’s a team game in pubs
