If I leave to score on other lanes, they'll gain even more levels than me. That means, I should never leave my lane unless I can get more levels myself, and since I mentioned the lane is hard, that would be impossible. What do I do?

It seems like this hero could work as a support but it doesn’t seem to exist and I can’t figure out why. He’s got zone control, a root, the ability to travel around the map. Why not support? Help me understand why this isn’t viable?

Criticize my games and tell me what could I had done.

I played 3 games of lycan and he feels a bit too shit or I am playing him wrong(mostly). I wanted to know how to play him and also when did they patch ult not working with wolves and dom creeps

How can I raise my behavior score? I just started playing Dota again and after two matches I tried to sign on today and I have to win three games of low priority. I didn't grief the games or even use the chat feature at all, literally just played the game.

I tried looking through the wiki but couldn't find anything specific on this. Usually when a hero is killed there's a "hero kill + x gold among y heroes" but every now and then I've seen a "shared bounty" kill where multiple heroes seem to get the kill credit ?

I don't understand what triggers this or how things are split when it happens. Thanks in advance for any help

Here's a pic of what I mean (taken from a Youtube video):

My dota plus sub expires in a week. I've put 5k+ hours into the game but gave it up a few months back finally. What happens to all my items and hero progressions? Will I still have them? I want to be able to trade items in the future in case they reach insane valuations TIA

I am Ancient (3.940 mmr)

becoming a good Morph was something I wanted to be for a while now, I've trying this past month but I was struggling, suddenly in the past few days something clicked in my brain and now I feel like a god, one thing I used to struggle was the laning phase, understanding how much agi I could morph into to farm but not to die. Now I just don't suck anymore, won 8 out 9 of my last matches, averaging 15 kills and 1 or 0 deaths, laning stage feels comfortable even against hard match ups, I'm active on early teamfights. But I think I'm gonna hit a point where things will start to go wrong and I wonder if I need to know something from more experienced players to don't lose focus when things start to go down, thx for any help. Maybe Valve has been giving me easy games and reality will hit hard next games.

Hello everyone! Hope all is well! I enjoy dota 2 but only played with friends that are much higher skill levels and much more experienced . Looking for newer/lower rated players that enjoying playing the game! I prefer playing support roles but willing to learn other roles.

I’ve played a few WK games for tokens lately (not my fav hero tbh), and kinda don’t grasp why ahould I ever choose Spectral Blade as the facet to go.

I’ve tried all couple of games with it and honestly I feel that the skeletons facet it better in every situation.

Is it like… max Spectral Blade from early game so it has some effect until 20th minute pass, as afterwards it does no dmg at all even to low hp heroes? (Just had a game with this facet where I died but enemy CM was marked with it and left with 2% hp (100hp in reality maybe)…. Well guess what, she didn’t die anyway because her regen was stronger than the dmg of the spell…. She was lvl 13.

I only enjoy mid and only sometimes because I own the lane and become unstoppable. But say I play pos 5. IDK what to do in the midgame. I care, because I have over 8000 hours. The game got progressively worse over time, Dota in 2014 was really special.

One thing I never figured out with Drow is when/how often I should be using my Q with autoattacks. Should I ever set it to autocast?

Really sorry about the confusing title. My question isn't exactly related to the game.

For me, sometimes if I accidentally click the windows key instead of Alt, it brings up the windows taskbar thing. Similarly, Alt + Z brings up NVIDIA GPU stuff.

Is there any way to prevent that from happening so accidental button presses don't fuck me over like that?

I’m looking to join a guild where we can play together in a team. Any guilds anyone Recommend? Thanks in advance.

Just returned after 3 years away. Back then I used to abandon pulling because I felt the offlane was farming too much. But now I'm thinking about equilibrium. I'm thinking that equilibrium is a bit more important since it allows my carry to farm easier. But I'm also scared I'm helping the enemies out.

I'm also stacking some other camps in the extra jungle area so my carry can go off and clear some waves in between farming. But then I'm noticing my own farm is suffering. I'm doing well so far but my biggest issue is how far behind on gold I am.

I'm new to dota! Played league all my life and just unlocked ranked in Dota. I've been playing a mix of carry/mid games and one aspect of the game that I'm struggling with is coming back when you're very behind.

In this game it seemed like they were at our t3 turrets before 20 minutes, and not much later they had our barracks down. I got farmed up though and started getting kills and became an absolute terror, but even though we were team wiping them, we could never make any progress on the map because we had to fight our way through super minions.

What can I do when in this situation to turn the tide?

Apologies if the image looks cooked. HDR thingy

My MMR's been swinging between low Archon to high Crusader these past few years with Archon 5 highest. Tried using my double down tokens I earned from Crownfall since I've got nothing else to do and it's been a wild ride. Couple it with Rank re-calibration and I think my mmr just swung from Guardian 5 to Archon in less than 2 weeks of regular playing.

On a serious note I personally don't recommend using double downs. From my experience they just tend to tilt me more rather than focusing on having fun. They can also have an artificial effect on your overall experience since your rank can change quickly.

Just came here to vent. Played really bad on lich and let him hook me while running around trees. I felt like some of the hooks he hit were pretty BS I even checked the replay if he was cheating, but seems to be just a good player on pudge.

Anyways if anyone cares enough to look at the replay and confirm that we were just outplayed that would be awesome.

edit: this is 4000mmr btw

my main is carry but role queue ranked just giving me supp/hard supp and i cant play supp. how long will this continue? im really bad at supp i just win 1 game. what should i do?

I am new to this game and my teammate says my bracer is ready to use. I clicked and nothing happens what does it mean?

Edit: he pinged, not said. And yes my bracer was in inventory.

I mainly play pos 5 Io.

Is there any comps where you don’t want to stack jungle for your carry to take later? I find that quite a few times, my carry doesn’t take them, goes off and joins team fights. I have to often join them, some time later we lose our T1 safe lane, and enemy gets access to our stacks.

When should I not bother stacking? What are some tactics I can use to convince my carry/mid to take stacks

Hello, I am a player with 7K MMR and a lot of experience in the game, I am starting a project on YouTube, if you are low divine or less rank and you are interested in improving your playstyle and change your mindset to rank up, DM me to receive a free coach session, it can be in English or Spanish. <3

i m hard stuck for a while after recalibration in 2.2k 2.5k mmr and i dont know what to do. I tried playing every position (i was mid main), i tried spamming meta heroes for current patch, i m in 12 k behaviour score and still get in team with antisocial and out of this game teammeates. I tryhard as much as i can , sometimes i solo carry with 5/6 kd and not even win. I love ganking and giving enemy team a hard time early and mid game, but somehow 1 guy has to ruin the game for everyone. I dont know how to escape this hell of a rank braket. I tried forming a team just to escape solo mm but idk where i can find people my rank and region (west and east europe)

SF AND LC playing together

So I know this is has been a controversial topic since immortal draft is introduced, but people forget that in higher rank this is one of the most susceptible things in dota currently right now not because it is cancer but because it being used as a form of payment plan for this SMURFERS and Account Sellers especially in the Chinese Community, I'm not saying the chinese are bad community is just that it became as one of their communities top things trending in terms of making money.. but this is just becoming more common especially now that I read somewhere in reddit that you can buy high rank immortals 6-8k bracket pretty cheap. like 100$ - 200$. I know being stuck in lower brack sucks but quality of dota 2 players and decreasing numbers of player due to this "FILTHY PEOPLE" should be fixed

I play in SEA SERVER yes it toxic but this kind of toxicity is much more than before

There's a faint sound that sounds like smoke popping, but there's only one Linkens in the game, and they didn't use it on the axe.
