This is too much of a gamble though. If your killed you’ll inevitably get ‘?’d yourself. As a techies spammer, it works better to remain completely silent and foment the anger through undermining their own confidence, not attacking them yourself.

[@MegaJackolope]

A lot of tricks like these used to be the way to win games, it was the meta shifts that made people focus in on drafting synergies and abilities to try to win. When you kill split push and make deathball strong, people pick deathball heroes and this doesn't really work if you lost in the laning stage. I think people can only focus on being good at X number of things and they just forget how to do this in favor of spamming death prophet before it gets nerfed etc.

Well I want to add my voice as witness to the rage that comes when you do this. I was playing an ant image game with an already greedy lineup (we had a pudge and natures) when I picked. When our mid lander flipped picks Medusa. I’m already gearing myself for the rough time that we are going to have. When the enemy team goes and places wards in our triangle. Well needless to say Medusa was crying about how the camps are blocked there was no farm on the map. I am getting flamed for trying to split push and often dying because it’s our only option because we can’t take a fight. So if anyone needs additional convincing. I stand witness

I did this back in the days of rampant laning stage jungling, thanks for reminding me :) sometimes I feel ruining it enough for the opposite team is a more viable strat than helping your own. Might even be more satisfying

[@galicanthemagus]

[@jaredwhite7285]

I have a unique ability called Jenkins foresight. I can already tell how heralds are going to fuck this up. Same as with QOP video and whatever else. This is a good strat, in low mmr it cripples the late game heroes that are in meta. But if you are an idiot it can cripple your team. Lets say you have some space creating tanky offlaner, that can farm well. Someone who would cut lanes 2 patches ago. Dark seer, axe, maybe even a bristle idk. He is going to be trying to farm enemy jungle while keeping his lane pushed and control the most map while keeping his farm, until such a time when his safelaner takes the lane or he starts fighting or whatever. If you place wards in the BIG jungle on the enemy side, you are blocking YOUR OWN CAMPS. DONT Block the safe farm in the triangle, sont mix it up. TLDR Block triangle nothing else

This and killing enemy couriers is why it's so fun to play nature's prophet. You TP into triangle, sentry the camps, use scroll to get back to base, rinse and repeat in their jungle. You get a few well placed sentries to give you vision on couriers and take them out every time they area heading down lanes. Basically makes it so hard for the enemy to get a decent early and mid game not to mention you have great map vision to increase effectiveness on your ult.

[@aranel6333]

This is my goto strat when playing against farm heavy heroes like Alchemist. Block their triangle and they just don't know what to do with themselves. At my tier they don't try to get farm on the other side of the map, they just kind of run around confused like "why didn't the camps spawn?"

[@raymondkertezc364]

I'm super interested in mentally breaking my enemies and mentally hardening my team! Thanks!

[@saintpsu]

Main KOTL here, would like to provide additional insight on camp blocking: 1. If your enemy doesn't rely on invisibility (such as Riki, Nyx, etc.) and your teammate does (you have Riki in your team, for example) SPAM 'EM ALL. The enemy will have no choice but to unblock with sent and have less sent for detection in lanes. 2. In general, sent is a limited resource and pos5 typically is poor as fuck, so read the tide of the game and choose which camps to block. Most of the time you would want to block enemy ancient triangle, as this area provides the highest mmr/gold. Secondly, by blocking camps you will compel enemy core/farmer to move out of that area to the other area, therefore, you may consider blocking their camps around safe lane/mid lane, force them to go somewhere else, allowing you to push these lanes, safely.

[@TronKyLam]

When I used to play dota, i did this with techies and it was really fun. I destroyed the camp, place some bombs around to see enemies coming, then get a few bombs on that camp before leaving the sentry there. The enemies who passed by would see the empty camp, and asked the support to come and deward. It's funny how human brain works. When you see a ward, you have you focus on it and react a bit slow to the bombs when they pop up (Q mines only show up when you stay close). Just a split moment like that may give you a kill, or at least time for them to go back and regen again. Do not always guarantee a kill, but it works surprisingly well sometimes, which was funny as hell. And in some of those games, the enemies literally trashtalk each other on the All channel.

I did this strat once. I was playing as Monkey King because I loved his mobility so I took the chance to experiment on my heroes since I don't usually play MK as a Support. I warded every enemy NC camp and even killed the NC by myself. The enemies were so focused that even their Techies was not planting bombs for their towers anymore. Their Techies and the other Support were so busy fending me off that they forget to help their Carries, because when they go help their Carries, that's when I will enter their jungle carefully and place wards again. I'm not saying my strat was what helped us win, but it's nice to pick off heroes and take them out of the fight even if you don't kill them.

ROFL I got this game where I blocked all of the enemy camps because they are all farming heroes and the enemy offlane pangolier got so angry he kept all chatting and calling me a dumbass for thinking that blocking camps will win me games. He had to buy sentries every time probably because his support wont deward the camps for him and eventually he became an offlane with barely no items, he cried till the game ended. He later added that "If blocking camps wins games then why OG isn't doing it" then called me a dumbass again ahahaha, that was a 1k game by the way. That guy was literally crying in chat everytime, insulting me for blocking his camps lol so I can say this is a really legit strategy to tilt enemies. That time it did not win me the game but I made an offlaner cry. I did the same on a game with a meepo, I just followed meepo everywhere he farms, by follow I mean, I'm literally on his face hitting him or the neutral creeps he was farming, no one even helped him cause it was still too early in the game. We won.

[@roundhouse4201]

How to tilt enemy cores (works particularly well against agi carry 1 tricks): 1. Accept match 2. Insta highlight offlane 3. Pick techies 4. Blast off 3 times which should result in you denying yourself (make sure you hit both enemies otherwise ur gonna die) 5. Return to lane, now with level 2, maybe even 3. 6. Red mine the pull path 7. Repeat until the enemy support has either gone insane or died 4 times 8. Sit back and watch as they argue with each other and the carry tilts out and feeds Note that level 1 green mines are kinda poopoo, and imo you shouldn't even place them unless you're putting them on top of red mines/stasis traps, otherwise its just a waste of mana.
