You could start by ganking the offlane. Push in the right wave, and a rotation might lead you down through the jungle into a smoke gank. Here you must choose your next path. You could race up to the mid tower, secure the rune, and pass into the Roshan pit. Once there, pop your BKB to start the teamfight. That may take you safe lane or lead you into the enemy triangle. Assemble your team there, and you may be headed for high ground. If the buybacks are up, you could jump in the pit and descend into another fight. Find the correct target, and it may unlock the throne push, allowing you to enter the base. If you escape, you might still have a chance to sit upon the Ancient. The choices are yours and yours alone. Good luck.

You ever have these shit games where the game just stop making sense? A teammate seems retarded but his play sort of work, the ennemy have a stupid build (pos3 autoattack ogre with basher & heart) but they wreck you, you try to find fights & brawl but they always happen on the opposite side of the map, and when you try to join, it's happening where you just left, you end up wasting your time and getting shit farm because nothing you expect materialize and you have to wonder, is everyone stupid or is it you who are tilted as fuck?

You're not missing any kind of hidden strat, there's no secret sauce that unlocks the hidden potential of the creeps, he's a garbage hero made for cheese strats.

>>560528423
i got some advice as a long time chen veteran dont listen to the idiots calling him bad
1. save hand of god
always try to keep it back in hand and time it to the last second
2. jungle dont stay in the lane and sap xp
after you dominated the lane this is the single best advice also try to stack as many camps as possible
3.the bigger the better is a pretty good advice regarding creeps so always rush your W to skill it
4. If your creeps get low HP, use abilities like Holy Persuasion to send them fountain and heal them
5. Buy items that help your creeps fight. Items like Desolator will improve your effective damage massively.
6. Keep creeps alive forever so you dont feed xp and gold to the enemy cores
7. Never push early or you get destroyed as you are very squishy at the beginning
8. At the start I would suggest to only micro one creep so it’s easier and to take on more later on

>>560538465
He's a caster, not a tank. Casters are generally squishy.

>>560538465
You're not actually kiting, despite the fact that you have a stun, which doubles as mobility, on a 4 second cooldown, a 50% slow, AND a silence.

Yeah, just checked. Earth Spirit was added in 2013, and this is basically historical revisionism. On release, he was a complete menace, because kicking the remnant was the stun, and rolling boulder was the slow. He could be a roamer, a jungler or any role that isn't Safe Lane carry.

>>560553986
Conceptually it's unstoppable but it's different from being a Fundamental force that composes all of existence at an atomic level. Heat death means that the atoms and particles will spread out as much as possible into space and/or decay/stop moving. But it's just an application of the rules and won't change them. That's why AA isn't a Fundamental.

would entropy even be a threat at all considering there's magic that can poof shit out of nothing in the dotaverse
you'd think that infinite mana could be converted into potentially infinite energy, thus avoiding entropy altogether

>>560556017
what if entropy just goes "fuck you" and decides to flick the off switch

>>560553002
Marci is the strongest!

>>560556263
aa is trying and failing because he is weak and entropy is weak

>>560556017
We don't actually know if the conservation of mass and energy does not apply to mana/magic. Magic is inherently bullshit but most series with magic treat it like there is some equivalent exchange happening with regards to mana quantity. And given that spells have shit like noises, light flashes, heat changes, etc. like a typical chemical reaction, that would imply that they have their own mana version of the 2nd law of thermodynamics so it's not a perfect 100% conversion either. That's also ignoring the energy the caster themselves puts into making a spell work, like waving their hand and shit.

If mana and magic can truly create more matter+energy than what is put in, and you are able to generate mana at a >100% rate too, you could theoretically cancel entropy, yeah. But nothing in Dota lore implies it's possible, or a thing. And it's likely nobody will go to the lengths to autistically design and explore such a magic system. Best you'll get is Nasu autism in Fate. Don't think I've seen anybody talk about entropy with regards to magic outside of PMMM and TTGL. Both PMMM and TTGL have humans create bullshit energy out of nothing, and thus, defeat entropy forever.

This is also ignoring the existence of gods who need worshippers and shit and apparently that generates free power or whatever. So maybe entropy is decreasing overall, who knows. But we don't know the conversion rate of energy spent in raising and keep a person/other creature alive vs energy gained via worship. So it could still be a downward trend.

Hi guys, my name is Richard and my favorite hero is Xin, The Ember Spirit.

I like that he is a teacher, and gives a lot of lessons about humility. I like this because in my life, I have learned a lot of lessons and have learned a lot of humility too.

What is your favorite hero?

>>560562575
My favorite hero is Hoodwink because she makes my special place feel funny.

>>560559130
>I can't see how kotl couldn't just poof more into existence
Two problems with that.
We don't know where the mana is coming from. There is a lot of mana spread out in the world, and a lot of spells effectively just take some of it out of the air. So KotL for all we know is taking the mana from somewhere. The Fundamentals in particular have access to the Fundamental Plane of existence (a sekrit club AA doesn't get to go to since he's not a Fundamental). He could be siphoning mana from there, or from his self in the Fundamental Plane, or any number of bullshit sources. No guarantee he's truly creating it out of thin air.

The other issue is that even if he is generating it out of thin air, it might not be enough to combat the increase in entropy on a universal scale. It's like trying to melt steel on your stove. Sure the fire is hot but there's a limit on how much heat it can put into the steel bar over time, and the steel bar is always going to lose some amount of heat to the air and whatnot. Eventually the bar hits a max temp where it can't go hotter because it's losing too much heat.

Weaver still mogs
Elder Titan created the fundamentals
Weaver created the timeline that Elder Titan came to exist in and eventually created the universe in.
Weaver predates ET who predates the ancients, and canonically, should have stopped dota from ever existing, because his literal hum drum day job that he got bored of was repairing errors in time, as in the ancients resetting it when they lose. There is no conceivable reason for him to even be here fighting, because he lives outside of this reality like an omnipotent god.

I think it's retarded that windrun isn't dispellable

>>560562575

figure out how to split push without dying
take advantage of the fact eidelons dont have a specific mini map image

>>560618623
Refresher+Aghs gives you a BKB piercing 2,000 + 32% max health as pure damage, 8 second AOE disable

Each pack of Bearing'd Eidolons does 750 raw single target DPS (before splitting), to boot. Walk a pre-duplicated pack out of the treeline with you (you can use Ctrl+RMB to issue unified commands without breaking channeling if you fiddle with the settings), blackhole at least 2 enemies (or hold it for BKB, I don't care) and use boots of bearing during that (also doesn't break channeling)

What's difficult about it?
If your team doesn't push just march your Eidolons into the highground and siege, late game they can't push back to your HG before Blackhole is up.
Throw Malefice on some asshole and put Pulse down HG.

What heroes do you think are just genuinely strong- You have fun playing them and hate playing against them?

For me I think it's Necro and Mars.
When I go up against Necro I'm whining and cursing trying to out lasthit him and fuming over how irritating his death pulse range is and the ridiculous regen.

And against Mars?
More than any other blinkfiend gankers, when he leaps out of the woods, stroking his shit and then Eul's you into a spear into an arena into a guaranteed death. It's such a fucking "watch this cutscene" type combo
And it's so paint by the numbers, too.
Soul Ring Boots Blink Eul's Shard, free double kill whenever.
Still has a subpar winrate, I don't know how that happens desu.

>>560621917
>Necro
Countered by BKB Nullifier. Always buy that Nullifier.

>Mars
Countered by BKB and good vision+positioning. That's why Mars has a shit winrate. He's a midgame snowballing hero. He gets his powerspike at lv 6 and has to keep oppressing the enemy team before they can bounce back. So once the game goes on too long, he drops off.

My team DOES furiously spam ping me any time PA just BKBs and walks out
Like fuck you man, it's a 40 minute game, that's free. Skill yourself.

I'm never sure who should buy the nullifier and I always end up bringing it in as like a 4th item on a carry, but it does always feel good when I get it. Disperser could work too I guess, for a little more.

>pudge was complaining about people KSing him

>>560652720
>playing Axe

>anytime anyone gets remotely low I have to watch as my potential armor stacks get obliterated by someone else's ult

>>560652720
Objectively, it matters. At like lv 1, a kill would be about 250 gold for the last hit, and assists only get +50 gold each. Might as well hit two creeps. But it's Pudge, the early game exp gain is enough for him to farm more heroes with lv 6 early if he gets a couple more.

>>560652720
Just the other day I was furiously pinging that I was like 200 gold off of Scepter on Disruptor and a fucking Lion just runs up and nukes the wave- The enemy took our T3 and we lost off that push

It took me a while before I started to care or understand about item timings or why they're important. Maybe if you think about it it'll make more sense. Haven't you ever lost a fight you thought you'd win because the enemy finished an Orchid or BKB before you expected, and suddenly you're silenced or they ignored all your damage?
Or if you're playing mid and they get bottle before 2 minute when you can't, or finish treads and get a stat item first?
Surely you don't think "in 2026" there's no difference to getting a blink dagger before the enemy even has their ultimates and finishing it at 20 minutes?
Otherwise why do YOU want the gold?

>I'm never sure who should buy the nullifier

I had a funny support game once where I pinged
>I think somebody should buy Nullifier
at the start because the enemy team was like CM Necro DP Jakiro Rubick QoP but my carry said "Anon, can you buy it?" then he pinged that he was going to buy boots BKB Daedalus and some other shit. I'm thinking wtf is this retard doing, not buying Nullifier but hey, free permission to buy Nullifier on pos 5.

Took me like 25 mins to get it because I had to get urn first but once the carry finished farming and I was Nullifying whoever he chased, it was a free kill. So I think the answer is "anyone can and should get Nullifier when necessary".

Also see pic related. Toooooooootally good on every hero except the 4 listed here.

>>560654506
I want the enemy dead. I'm doing that as fast as possible. I'm not going to stop attacking someone in the hopes that my teammate finishes them off. What if they don't? Then I get blamed anyway.

>>560617078
It doesn't give mana regen per kill anymore. It's a Satanic for magic casters which is... not a very popular strategy. Do you go Revenant's Brooch on someone? Do you go Revenant's Brooch on anyone? Muerta? Do you play right-clicker Zeus?

>Nobody picks Naga as a support, either.
wtf are you smoking? Pro teams pick Naga as a support exclusively, and they pick her semi-frequently. They go through periods where she's 100% pick/ban for a few weeks and then forget about her for a while, then repeat.

>>560665436
When Pudge got to have Blink Dagger, Valve spent like a whole year or two just fixing Pudge-related map geometry glitches where people get perma-stuck in weird places or get stuck out of bounds and shit. Pudge wasn't the only one. There were 1-2 others who also caused a huge amount of similar issues.

>>560669273
I meant in pubs.

>>560669750
Ahh okay. That I don't disagree with.

>>560669881
I haven't watched pro scene in years, but I'll hazard a guess they still don't pick Pudge, because he's unreliable and can't lane for shit. Meepo is probably rarely picked, too.

There is an obvious disconnect here. Pros can cover for each of their heroes shortcomings, but if you're not in the safe lane going Radiance on a Naga in a pub, you might as well be throwing.

>>560670303
Your post contradicts itself with your reasoning as to why Pudge isn't picked

>>560670869
There is no contradiction. Hook is a skillshot, and pros don't fuck with that.

>What heroes do you think are just genuinely strong- You have fun playing them and hate playing against them?
For me it's Windranger. I love her skillset and I can play her in any role. Lets me get shit done the way I want it at the pace I want.
But I don't mind playing against enemy WRs. 99% of enemy WRs are bad and/or easily countered. Most times, they're playing as zero farm supports so they are useless.

I hate playing against heroes who I can't just right-click to death. So the short list is just Slark, Morphling, Muerta, Lifestealer. I don't know how to deal with Slark and Morphling solo in general. Feel like they're a team effort to kill every time and WR just doesn't have enough item slots for it. They would qualify as "genuinely strong" for me.

>>560671985
Not that Anon but you're being retarded and ESL right now. He mentioned valid reasons why Pudge is nowhere near a popular or meta pick, and said he hasn't watched pro games in years, which means he did before, and Dendi is one person, not the pro scene as a whole. TI3 was also like 15 years ago. Being picked 15 years ago is irrelevant to the meta NOW. Talk about being out of touch. How often has Pudge gotten picked in pro games in recent months/years? He went 1-2 in Wallachia so that's 3 games total. The Anon is wrong about Pudge never being picked, but it's a small difference between "never" and "almost never".

Stop being a poser faggot and lrn2read.

>>560670303
Yeah he's a rare pick but it's not zero. A few months ago, there was a surge in pos 1 Pudge memes, and every once in a while, a team still tries it out. There are also a couple pos 4 players like 9class who pick him on purpose, though his last Pudge tournament game was >3 months ago according to Dotabuff. 9class in particular was good enough to get his hero pool (Pudge, MK, Slark) banned in TI games, which was funny, but was sadly enough to get him eliminated.

You're wrong about skillshots though. Pros play skillshot heroes all the time.

>Meepo
Amusingly, Meepo is non-zero pick rate too, and even went 2-0 in the latest T1 tournament: https://www.dotabuff.com/esports/leagues/19435-pgl-wallachia-2026-season-7/scores?date=all&hero=meepo

If you can't tell how many more hits it will take to kill an enemy, if they have any escape abilities up and what damage spells/how many attacks your carry has to use to get the kill then you might just be retarded.

There's a massive difference between "AM is getting unstunned in .48 seconds and then he's gonna mash BKB, Counterspell and Blink" and "This random level 3 Bengeful Bpirit is slowed to 200 movespeed at 150 health and zero mana, in the middle of the lane"

Pay attention to efficiency, where the gold/xp comes from, advantages from winning trades (avoiding bad ones) and overall team strategy/map movement. How the game will play out depending on how each team performs or feeds. State of the game will determine when you can fight or not.

Climbed up to 4k mmr pretty steadily after this. Start enjoying the game and being “good” for your roles/heroes. The less you give about mmr and tilted over it, the more you can have fun and improve.

the most correct time to go in is when the barracks have died and your teammates are about to respawn but havent yet and will be alive exactly when you are dead

I haven't played in like 4 years but still post here. Did you guys know that?

why are you here then

I wish I could blame the bad game on everyone being Herald but sadly it's 99k MMR. There was no justification for anybody being as bad as they were.

It's clear they have no passion for it anymore and just do it for a paycheck. I don't think they even like playing it really

Chat, let's be real. Do you take responsibility when you lose the game as a mid? You're supposed to be the deciding factor. Can't blame anyone else.

>>560782174
I don't play mid but if I did I would blame every loss on supports not ganking me enough.

What happens at below 100mmr?

>>560782174
mid is decided by random chance unless your supports influence the lane
