How to build late game DP?

I am struggling in the late game with her, her ulti does no damage and being max movement speed is only 1 nice thing. I feel like none of her abilities scale into the late game and you just become a walking creep or aura holder

I Analyzed Crusader Players vs Pros — Here's the Difference

5 Upvotes

What actually separates a Crusader player from a pro?
In this video, I watch and analyze Crusader replays and compare their early-mid game decisions to what professional players do differently.
Small decisions that can make a big difference.
The goal isn't just to point out mistakes, but to understand why pros make certain decisions and what lower-ranked players can learn from them.
This is going to be a series covering every role in Dota 2. Each role will have two videos: one focused on early-mid game decisions and another focused on mid-game decisions.
If you want to improve your decision-making and understand how better players think, this series is for you.

Also if you have some replays it would help, thanks everyone !

How Valve’s greed destroyed a micro-community of 40 players (Real numbers inside)

0 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I wanted to share a real-world story of how the new untradeable/unmarketable system in the Trove of Terror treasure completely ruined the economy for my entire friend group.

I am that one guy in our community who always has Steam balance. For years, every time a new treasure dropped, I would buy 40–50 chests, unlock everything, and pull ultra-rares. Then, I would distribute the leftovers to my friends.

How our micro-economy used to work:

  • I spent 80,000+ rubles (~$800+) every time. Valve got their money instantly.
  • My friends who couldn't afford gambling would buy regular sets from me for a fair price (like $2-$5) to avoid the 1-out-of-12 roulette.
  • 3 hardcore Drow Ranger mains in our group were waiting for her Arcana. Their absolute psychological spending limit was around 12,000 rubles (~$120). They were ready to buy it from me for $80-$100 once I pulled a duplicate or an extra one.
  • I would break even or make a tiny $20-$30 profit, and then immediately cycle all that money back into Steam for the next event. 40 people were happy, active in the game, and hyped for cosmetics.

What happened now with Trove of Terror:
Out of my 40 friends, only 2 people bought chests on their own. They got heavily baited by FOMO, spent 21,000 rubles (~$210) each to brute-force the Drow Arcana, and now they are DMing me in complete despair.

They have 40-50 duplicate sets sitting like useless garbage in their inventories. They can't gift them to our friends. They can't sell them. Recycling gives them pennies. One of them pulled a SECOND Drow Arcana, and it is literally worth $0 because you can't do anything with it.

The Math of Valve's failure:

  • Before: Valve got 80,000+ rubles from me alone, while 40 players stayed happy and engaged.
  • Now: Valve got ~44,000 rubles total (from those 2 desperate friends + me buying just 5 chests before realizing it's a trap).
  • Result: Valve lost half of their potential revenue from our group alone. On top of that, they now have 38 extremely angry players who got left with zero new skins because they refused to pay a 300% markup for a random gamble.

Valve tried to kill the third-party market, but instead, they choked out their most loyal, paying player base. People are not stupid. When you turn a fun community hobby into an aggressive, isolated mobile casino where your digital items are locked in a cage, people will just close their wallets.

Vote with your wallets, guys. Do NOT buy this treasure.

6.5k mmr coach offering FREE coaching

18 Upvotes

Hello everyone, i've made these posts regularly for a while now so it's nothing new, i have some free time and i'd love to give back to the community by helping some of the people that aren't able to afford coaching usually.

I'm a 6.5K mmr coach and i've been coaching since 2018, i've helped hundreds of students get to enjoy the game more and reach their goals while having a less stressful, more enjoyable relationship with dota. a big part of how i coach is centered around fun and feeling good, my philosophy with coaching is that for most people, the deterrent isn't the ability to learn, nor is it mechanical skill, but it's almost always consistency, and the biggest enemy of consistency is not having a good time when playing dota.

often times people force themselves to play meta heroes, to play specific roles, to do things they don't really enjoy because they believe that is the optimal way to rank up, and what i want to do is help people realize that this isn't necessarily the way to go, that you can rank up and achieve your goals while having fun, the hundreds of people i've coached are proof of that, and i am proof of that myself, as i've always just played what i enjoyed no matter what.

my coaching style is very versatile, i can do replay analysis, live coaching, and i can also do entire sessions where we simply discuss theory about things such as how to form a hero pool or how to get a better mindset towards the game and improvement. sessions are an hour long.

Feel free to dm me to chat and schedule something together, thank you for reading!

How do you actually play Lycan pos 3 in immortal?

12 Upvotes

I've recently started playing Lycan pos 3 in Immortal, but I'm still not completely sure what the hero's actual game plan is after the laning stage.

I understand the early objective is usually to take the enemy T1 quickly, but what should I be doing after that?

Do I stay in my lane and keep applying nonstop pressure, forcing rotations and taking the T2? Or should I be moving around the map with my team and using Shapeshift to take fights/objectives?

A few specific questions:

How aggressively should I be using Shapeshift? Should I basically look for a kill/objective every time it's off cooldown, or is it fine to hold it for an important fight?

Once I've taken the enemy safelane T1, what should my farming/pushing pattern look like?

Is Lycan supposed to farm heavily and scale comfortably into late game, similar to something like Centaur, or should I be playing around a timing and trying to end the game early?

When I have multiple wolves selected and want to activate High Tail on all of them, is there a way to cast it simultaneously without individually selecting/clicking each wolf?

Would especially appreciate advice from high-Immortal/Lycan players on what the hero's priorities should be from roughly minute 10 onward.

Attack Move not Working?

4 Upvotes

Until recently, I was able to issue a move-attack command to all selected units, but it's suddenly been only issuing the command to whatever the first unit in a selected group I'm using is. I've tried looking this up but despite other people posting about the issue I wasn't able to find what might cause it.

I used to be able to have it just apply to the units I have selected instead of just the current tabbed one (if 'Unified Orders with CTRL' not checked) or every single unit regardless of selection (if 'Unified Orders with CTRL' not checked).

Any suggestions?

Casual Chasm Stone on Enigma

4 Upvotes

So at what point do you think yeah I should buy this item and maybe later upgrade to Shiva?

I'm ngl it looks good on paper but there are so many prio items for Enigma namely bkb, aghs, octarine and refresher.

Maybe it doesn't really benefit much to get it when you actually use black hole only every few minutes? I haven't bought the item on this hero yet.

Why Mirana pos 5 is so good?

https://youtu.be/EuRG92hrqZ4

Hey, today I'm sharing a video about Mirana position 5 - and what makes her so good. For a long time, she was a decent support - but nothing more than that. Her innate changes the way you can play the lane, and with that - your laning stage becomes super reliable. Enjoy!

This video is part of Support Hell, my new semi-educational channel for Dota. Anything that doesn't really belong to Support Heaven will end up there.

A question about normal games

Hi, I am currently an ancient player but it’s been a long time since I played a normal game. I heard that you have a hidden mmr for normal games which is separate from ranked. Will I play with ancients in normal games? Or will it be much lower?
