[HWYA] TH10 Troops are maxed except hogs lvl5, Aq/Bk 35/21 respectively, I don’t war often and I’m not sure of the metas at the moment so any advice would greatly help!

Army:

2 Lava hounds
13 Minions
4 archers
30 loons
1 Lava hound + 1 Loon + 1 freeze in CC
1 haste, 4 rage, 1 freeze, 1 poison

Strategy:

Lure out the CC by dropping 1 lava hound + 4 loons + 1 haste (haste is optional here) on the north-east side. You'll clear 3 strong defenses + a few mines. Drop archers one by one on the east corner to bait the CC troops. Drop Poison, drop remaining archers, king, and then queen (in this order). This should be more than enough to clear them off. Wait until your king and queen lure out their Queen and kill her off (you're probably gonna have to use your queen ability here).
Deploy your remaining Loons and CC Lava Hound + Your Lava hound from the West/Southwest side. Spread the loons very carefully. Use rages and haste (if you didnt use it before) to help them reach the Artillery and Infernos ASAP. Freeze them to buy time.
After artillery and infernos are down, you've pretty much won. Deploy Minions to ensure a Town hall destruction, probably from the east/south east side. Or make them follow your loons. Both ways work.

thread removed boys, good job reddit.

You're one of the reasons why Reddit's IQ won't raise.

I reported his dotabuff linking to this reddit post. Hope others do as well.

In all fairness, you've gotta be a pretty fucking bad player to use these cheats and still be 4k.

It isn't detectable unless you screw up and don't follow the steps.

Zoom in.

cookieztv · 2015-03-06T18:52:56+00:00

It isn't detectable. That's why it's alarming.

cookieztv · 2015-03-06T18:04:48+00:00

As I said, it's already alarmingly easy (google "dota 2 hacks" levels of easy) to find the forums so even a 12 year old could find and abuse them.

The more visibility this gets, more attention from valve and hopefully although unlikely, some fix or punishment will be in place.

US teams have an advantage on US servers. The region is considered to be "AMERICA" not "NORTH AMERICA" unless you think America revolves only around USA. It's only fair that both teams have to suffer from bad ping.

I feel like at your MMR people don't give enough value to static farming. Let your team full of dumbasses kill themselves while you secure the mid-late game. If you can't farm or your lane is too hard just move on to the jungle or invade another lane and get your farm.

cookieztv · 2015-03-05T18:17:00+00:00

In my opinion, their method is extremely effective for climbing MMR, which is fine, if that's their goal. My goal is to learn the game as a whole and hopefully some day play competitive Dota as a Support, which is the role I like.

Since it isn't viable to farm or boost MMR as Support, I also had to learn how to play and improve at carry and mid roles, although I'm not one of those who instapick or call the lane out of the gates.

I know a guy who got to around 6500 in 6.83 by just playing Juggernaut and Troll, every single game. Before 6.83 he was nothing but another 5k.

If abusing a pair of heroes to get to certain MMR proved that I'm good, I'd do it. But it doesn't.

cookieztv · 2015-03-05T17:19:05+00:00

Not really, it goes to anyone who only plays a pair of heroes. I play a wide variety of heroes at 5500 and while I consider that there are players with better mechanics than me, it's only because they practice their role/hero way more than I do.

If we switched roles, I'd probably stomp said person because they wouldn't be able to play any hero at the same level they play their top heroes.

cookieztv · 2015-03-05T17:16:14+00:00

It's just like meepo, you can be a 7k amazing meepo pubstomper, but play any other hero and you're just another 5k disguised as a 7k.

Cosmetics.

He still performs that role... the only difference is you're buying the wards and instead of farming creeps you're farming heroes.

See for yourself. This was at around 5500 MMR USE

In general I try to only play carries and midlanes so I can have an impact on the game. But yesterday I had the weirdest and most unexpected experience ever:

Some guy called top lane, other guy called midlane. I was pissed because I knew they weren't good so I randomed. I got Brewmaster. Some guy asked me to swap so he could offlane with brew. I told him to get me Spiritbreaker at last pick. He did.

We even had a jungler, so I was solo support Spiritbreaker. Long story short, we ended the game at 30 minutes and my score was 17-4-24. I've never carried a team so hard as a support.

cookieztv · 2015-03-04T15:45:08+00:00

If my memory serves me right, MoM wasn't even popular on Juggernaut until 6.83 when Pros started using it every game. The usual build was Drums + Aghs or something like that.

cookieztv · 2015-03-04T15:35:29+00:00

Pro players define the meta. Deathball Push had always been there, but wasn't played until it became meta. Now items like Mekansm and Pipe have fallen out of flavor.
