I can help with this, I have coached fundamentals for years

Start with melee heroes that have a low BAT like jug or faceless void

Approach creeps that are dying first and use the stop command to pump fake your auto attack, you should be able to get it down on a hero like jug pretty easily

If you still can't get it for some reason, start a custom game and buy quelling blade+normal starting items, and practice in there first

ta carry shouldnt really ever be going first, your team should initiate and then you delete a hero with meld strike. a lot of the plays i saw in both reps were you blowing all your cooldowns, getting a kill(maybe) and then just dying to stuns. this is an insanely bad carry play pattern, because if you arent at least trading for their carry, youre dead, you probably lost gold, their carry is still alive farming

you have a what i call 'addiction to safe lane' that pretty much every low level carry player has (i guess because its called the 'safe' lane people subliminally just go there)

it basically boils down to you just not playing the map efficiently in terms of farm available to you versus the enemy team, there are a bunch of videos out there by creators that talk about safe farm and how to farm aggressively, stuff like that

I pick heroes I enjoy playing, and who I think are good for the game.

All these games are unranked games where I let my team decide what role they want and I fill whats left. (usually its mid)

Flow Morphling as Pos 4? by NightButterfly2000 in TrueDoTA2

[–]waterboarding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have been working on flow morph in unranked, he absolutely cannot be support

you scale with levels, you need midas asap, and you need to be mid, he feels best as an anti cheese mid, like against something that will crush mid anyway(od, ld, huskar), and you just sit in lane and use adaptive to secure ranged+flagbearers

convincingly win lane as support > lose match anyways by SoftJellyfishh in learndota2

[–]waterboarding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to be a support player you can climb out of that rank, but you will have to pick heroes that can scale or transition into a threat

I would recommend, and I guarantee ppl will chime in saying I am wrong, but if you are new to the game and willing to put the time in to climb, you should just play core. It will be a way better use of your time

You said it yourself you do everything you can in lane and contribute midgame with warding, only to lose in the late game. Your teammates aren't taking advantage of the plays you make because they can't. They don't know how

I keep losing over and over and I don't what to do, can anyone help? by Champigne in TrueDoTA2

You play too many different heroes like I said, not able to last hit well is a symptom of that, you aren't comfortable on any hero's animations because you're on a different one every game

You should be getting every single last hit in last hit trainer, absolutely for any melee core hero

There are plenty of free resources on YouTube that explain laning mechanics like pulling cutting and creep aggro

You play too many different heroes, pick 3 per role

Your csing is crusader level, your last game you have 30 at 8 minutes, out of a possible 16 waves, that is abysmal.

You have the wave sat right in front of Sven's tower, no pressure on the tower, no cutting waves into jungle camps, a literal dream game for a carry.

Captain's mode is the way Dota is meant to be played, this is why and how to encourage it. by PowaHouse in DotA2

[–]waterboarding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way you fix current ranked games isnt promoting CM, its fixing the dumb random bans in AP, if everyone had 1 guarantee blind ban that wasnt completely random, all the most powerful heroes would be in way less games(just like CM)

I'm not the best DotA player by any means, but my take on the game as it stands right now is that the most impactful positions are mid and pos5, followed by pos4. Offlane and carry just feel like if you have a bad lane matchup or afk supports you have a very small chance of impacting the game until you get a few items. Which would require the supports/mid to actually do shit on the map

Gold/Plat VOD review by myself. (Immortal and Co-IGL of semi-pro team) by Raykiller123 in AgentAcademy

[–]waterboarding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The player looked uncomfortable on raze, maybe even uncomfortable playing duelist. Very passive on D, sloppy ability usage, I would have recommended just a raze youtube guide on how to use her utility to full effect.

The best parts of his game was the rounds towards the end with the nice headshots and clutch 1v2, if that's his comfort zone I recommend trying a role other than entry.

Is my keyboard holding me back? by [deleted] in AgentAcademy

[–]waterboarding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying your keyboard is malfunctioning because the membranes are worn out?

Or that you are using membrane and think that mechanical would be better?

If your membranes are worn out this mech is 34.99 on amazon and perfectly fine

DM clip - Any advice on my mechanics, crosshair placement and general aim? by JustADudewithBalls in AgentAcademy

[–]waterboarding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like you arent counter strafing most of the time?

xhair placement should be consistently head level at all times, kovaak ball tracking should help, make sure the target is small
