[@msw0629]

I know Speed is definitely good but this looks like an ancient rank game on the Australian server. Such as you harassing Naix on the lane, chasing Naix into tower because you saw his team were at top, Roshan call, play around vision, and creating space for carry... I was predicting your next move along watching the video and made almost every decision the same, especially the rotations and when to back, it feels great. Since I only represent the skill of ancient tier on Aus server, maybe Aus server is underrated :)

[@saeidk736]

I have had decent success using underlord lately in an almost same role as legion . Can you do a video about underlord ? I feel underlord is the one hero with the highest potential in the game . I played against a very decent meppo and would just 2-3 shot him . I normally try to buy battle furry as first item for underlord and I know underlord is one of the most versatile hero’s in Dota . He can play complete tank . Or right click or magic build . There are many variations of all these builds too . He can even go aura build or radiance build . He can even got disable build wth atos and sheep stick. Also underlord is amazing with invoker Pit + tornado + atos+ the whole arsenal of invoker abilities . He can go seriously tank too with probably the best talent in the game at level 15 and 20 70 % attack speed or 25 hp regen in a tank hero that can survive every fight to win free damage . It’s my fav hero right now. The pit is arguably one of the most under rated skills in the game . Only problem with pitlord is the insanely slow cast time.

[@arseniykor5841]

Is slark a counter to legion?

[@stupidmonkeywing]

Hi speed, honest question please don't flame me xD. I feel like the item build you went this game was around the idea that you wanted to be tanky and make space for your hard carry. But if I don't trust my luna (in this case your luna seemed to misplay alot), isn't it better to just go something like deso blink aghs to ensure you can delete someone in a fight without your team's help? I find that often when i go support items like pipe or crimson, it happens alot where my team doesn't want to group up even a little bit and everyone is kind of doing their own thing.

[@kekw9493]

I generally believe that duel dmg is the overall point on gaining more dmg in the late game fights, seriously being tanky in fights helps you to get more duels successfully with your other teammates (not just luna), utilizing the dmg and start pushing towers and taking down important objectives,. Common builds on lc (blink, blade mail, bkb etc.) doesn't really help to scale in the late game (as if the enemies have better advantage soon enough), knowing that buying these items doesn't help your team on survival (stick to the fact where offlaners buy utility items, not some greedy items for solo carrying games). The purpose of blade mail is actually securing the duel dmg, but in reality, facing against heroes such as oracle, omniknight that saves teammates with their ult, you must consider building other items (like aghs but it's risky since u need so much physical dmg to actually burst it down) in this certain scenario.

[@seeknndestroy420]

Dude it’s a team game, you don’t have a choice of do not trusting your team especially within the Speed’s mmr bracket. If the guy in your team has the same mmr with you, that means he know things also. If you think you are better than your bracket, just make calls for your team and try to play with them let them do their job. Never ever try to get others job done and focus on yourself when playing. Trust me you will get better rank at a time

[@enkelito1]

[@Blumenfreund84]

For someone who's been consistently talking about PMA and how to not flame, Mr. Speed ...telling people "why should anyone listen to you. you dont win the lane - you stink" is hypocritical, to put it very mildly.

[@maxieamaru655]

What if u have another semi carry by ur side in this match Speed , thats what we are dealing with in our games lol....U might not be saying the same things about what u did to LS, cos u got enchantress !!! Jst a thought !!! Im not hating on you , its jst a very diffrent ball game and it will be vry nice if u show how to farm efficiently wen ur laning partner Support or carry wants to farm jst as much as u do ??

[@samuelellringmann3424]

fuck that 4 hero gank was actually hilarious :D I've been playing ck offlane in a similar way: Getting early stat and tanky items and just dominating the lane. Most of these games look similar to yours around 10-15 mins: enemy core got kicked out of lane, t1 is down and im far ahead of their carry in farm. The hardest thing for me is deciding wether to go help defend our safelane or keep pressuring bot. Most of the time, my team will not play around me and choose to defend safelane instead. If i go there as well, the whole team will be playing on the wrong side of the map. What would be some good triggers to decide what to do?

[@indie8845]

20:35 - quite amazed how u perfectly pressed W followed by Solar followed by Ult in a split of a second. Yet, did not press Pipe right after tping to the shrine. Care to elaborate please? Also, double-pressing W somehow doesn't work for me, only double-clicking the icon with mouse or single-pressing while hovering mouse over hero. I wanna keep quickcast to W teammates faster to save them in some situations, but i also want pressing W twice in quick succession with mouse elsewhere to self-cast W, like it does if I set W to cast (right now it's set to autocast). Is it even possible?

[@indie8845]

@Sohan Biswas I actually use Alt+W for non-quickcast item slot, however I played around with hotkey settings a bit and worked out Tab to actually be suitable for quickcast (pinky), W for normal cast, I use 2 for dagger quickcast (ring), 3 for Solar quickcast (middle) and R for Ult quickcast (Index). This allows me to make an almost instant 4-click combo without even moving fingers. Eager to try in pubs now. And thanks for help btw.
