Finally a coach that comes to the point quickly, without talking for 2 hours about the difference between a branche and circlet. Keep it up! Now I am going to tower dive some noobs.

[@samhonglee1097]

bro because of you i went from archon hardstuck to ancient 5 because of this laning mechanical skills. your videos is really a big help specially for me as a midlaner. when i win the lane, i win the game. thank youuu!

[@iamcool456123]

Playing mid for my 5 stack, needed this thanks!

[@lukeatillo6954]

Thank you for sharing this great advice coach! ✨🙏💖😁✨

[@mr.chicken9376]

Easy subscribe. Clear, concise, and straight to the point. Looking forward to more of your videos!

[@6xWaNteDx9]

This is the tip that any mid laners needs to know in order to dominate the lane, wish my pubs knew this more. Great advice as always from balloondota

[@aloon0219]

Awesome videos as always Baloon!!! Keep it up. May I ask how you itemize for an unconventional mid lane hero like a Silencer for example to speed up the farm. Like they don’t have a build in flash farm abilities or they don’t build in to BF for melee hero Etc etc.

[@BalloonDota]

@@aloon0219 Silencer's Glaives farms pretty good, just treads with witch blade can let you farm pretty fast

[@unclewan4020]

Keep it up Coach!!!

[@flawed1130]

Good video really insightful. Will you be making one as well for offlaners? I know you have some videos for offlaners but in this format it gives a more visual example on how to play good and what not to do

[@Mattheww573]

Good video as always… best coach ever!

[@olexanaxx]

in the current stage of the game the only adequate way to dominate mid is by diving towers , even if you zone out enemies midlaner from your wave already makes the mid difference

[@dous9219]

Excellent video. Make one for Safe Lane too please!

[@asyxmusic8429]

Do you have tutorial for other position beside Midlane

[@BalloonDota]

@@asyxmusic8429 hello, there are plenty of guides on my channel for all roles ya

[@yuan5154]

Best way to describe one of the scenario is "I won't be going for runes makes it so you're not going for the runes" Your stuck here in mid with me with your low health and my advantage until u die or I run low on health while I pressure u

[@mcdinkysgarage4514]

I misunderstood the video title and expected to hear characteristics of heroes that best suit the mid lane role. Your video is good too though.

[@MohdSaad-kg1kx]

Do for safelane please

[@kelvinpho6312]

Balloon best. Also really like the what to do but also what not to do!

[@pooyaparham5746]

Nice job and nice video 🎉

[@ag0n1an]

V useful video.

[@federicocapriotti2180]

what's the software you use to draw on the videos?

[@BalloonDota]

[@BalloonDota]

@@kid_kulafu_1727 hi, my coaching rates are shown in the description box ya

[@Evelyn27Official]

[@sewer_dog2096]

Wow 3 mins ago

[@akunkkumul]
