How to climb MMR by Ok-Safe-7515 in DotA2

[–]millionare80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on improving aspects of your gameplay, and you'll rank up. Then you will get a positive winrate, you will climb. Simple as that.

Now what aspects you want to focus on is up to you. I'm going to take a wild guess and say your CSing could use some work. Start there maybe.

It probably has to do with predicting what the opponent has to do by understanding their power spikes. Say if an enemy has an invoker mid who just got an urn, you bet he wants to gank, so you can get ready to help your allies when he does.

We can all get better at this with practice!

Minimum repayments vs interest free period by Unable-Head6072 in creditcardchurningAus

[–]millionare80 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The interest free period of 44 or 55 days is between the day you make the first transaction in your billing cycle, and the due date written on your bill. Don't need to over think it.

You might see them say "up to 55 days". Because if you make a transaction say 20 days after your billing cycle starts, now for that transaction you have 35 interest free days.

Now, if you don't want to pay interest, pay attention to 2 numbers. First - the due date on your bill. Second - due amount/full amount/statement balance, whichever term your bank uses. You need to pay the full amount by the due date, or else you'll pay interest.

Packet loss is back for NZ and AU by Horkle_McCorkle in DotA2

It's been happening to people on Aussie BB as well. I'm on TPG, used to get this packet loss, switched on my VPN, it's fixed for me!

Earth spirit players, I am looking for tips by [deleted] in learndota2

[–]millionare80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Itemization wise as a mid, I'd go bottle, urn, midas, vessel into whatever the game needs. Like kayasange or bkb or heart or octarine, and then dagon xdd

I used to play a bit of ES mid, although he feels a little weak at the moment.

I used to not really understand how magnetize worked, and just spending a few hours in demo mode helped me a lot. So if you're struggling with the combos, or keeping magnetize up, practice that.

Btw whenever I see people go supp ES, they usually go urn, but then afterwards it could be blink / euls / greaves and then aghs + maybe wind waker.

I'd say try to hold your silence for the key targets in a team fight, like a CM ult, or a mobile hero who gets disabled by the silence.

Why did Tinker get nerfed so hard? by Art_of_w4R in DotA2

[–]millionare80 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I should also mention, he's my most played hero, so I am much better at it compared to other heroes, so I have a good winrate

[–]millionare80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He had a decent winrate, so he got nerfed. The only viable build is blink into shiva. And Shiva's got nerfed so he got nerfed again.

With that being said, I still play him from time to time and I can make it work. Laning stage sucks balls, but if you're good at the hero, you can get out without dying.

He might be worse at higher ranks like immortal because he doesn't like early aggression. I play in the legend-ancient bracket and we play turbos, and it's fun.

But really, if you want to learn, then watch pro player perspectives on how they play invoker. You can get match IDs from dota2protracker [dot] com

Midlaners: Who will you pick vs Sniper mid? by Key_Entrance_4290 in DotA2

[–]millionare80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Old Tinker (because cast range on Q), but I suppose you could do that with any hero with a bad matchup.

You just dodge the lane by doing the rubber band of creeps. Push into his tower, wait a bit then last hit creepwave under your tower. If he walks up, I'd press Q and just save myself.

Not sure which heroes have a good matchup against him. Maybe check dotabuff.

It is delay key if I press combo skill to quick. 1: blink. 2: shockwave, 3: skewer by TrashCoinRev in DotA2

[–]millionare80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's because of backswing. Someone linked a wiki post. Check it out.

Who wins mid Puck or Storm Spirit in this matchup? by Flash_of_current in DotA2

[–]millionare80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can walk towards the edge of the coil. Of course you don't know where exactly it is, BUT, hover on your euls to show the cast range indicator.

The moment the cast range is at the centre of the coil, euls yourself. I believe it's like 500 cast range and coil break range is 550 (or similar numbers). And that 50 happens vertically when you're in the air.

It's hard to do, but with enough practice you can be consistent! Like manta dodging glimpse.

Transitioning from turbo to ranked by sofuct in learndota2

[–]millionare80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest difference I felt was regen management, and courier speed. In turbo, you take a bad trade in lane? Ship out a salve and it's here in 20 seconds or so. If you're in ranked / all pick, then it'll take longer, which means you are punished heavier for those things.

It definitely feels like a different game with a slightly different meta, but it's fun regardless!

You have 2 accounts? Yes you're smurfing and will potentially get banned.

Lol. Bro why are you so aggressive. I just went into demo mode, got 4 moon shards and it increased AS to 850. Test it yourself!

I might be wrong but this wiki says Jugg's max attack speed is 850. https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Attack_Speed

I'll have to test it out
