i just started learning drow ranger and got stuck on so much, this is very helpful

[@LosAmigoz]

I was pretty certain I knew a lot about this game (seeing as I've played on and off since 2012) but the amount I learned in this video would make you think im an absolute n00b. Fun stuff (Thanks Neuro)

[@ragragrec1]

All competitive games, programming, the universe. It's all just about efficiency, shortest path to success. This is excellent content for learning Dota2!

Hey, what do you think about the new 7.76 patch? It seems to me, because her agility aura is substantialy weaker in the early game than before, that your strategy of sticking to farming pre min 30 is even more viable now. Also it feels like I am throwing if I don't pick jugg over her :D

Man these carrys look so boring to play. Much worse than playing carry in league. Would love to hear why anyone would want to play this character

Comparison is the death of joy

I disagree, drow here is just a scaling character, the late game is rewarding and turns her into a supercarry, I love playing her btw, but I rarely do so because she sucks against engage heroes and melee carries. Well, the role is a scaling one overall, but some of the carries, like Slark, MK, or Sniper can dominate in the early stages of the game. I have been playing LoL for almost 5 years, I've reached emerald on EU servers as an ADC player, and I can tell that you just have to pick easy kills and farm in order to scale well. If your team is throwing, the game would be hard and you will probably die anyway and lose the game. Also, if you lose your lane, it is hard to catch up with the net worth. You can also die easily every time, you can barely 1v1 anyone, (except the time you just won't get focused and you get like a team wipe, but then you know that the opponents are throwing) the role is simply weak and it always requires you to go squishy ranged damage champs, which is bad if your team haven't picked any tank. In dota, you have a massive pick pool. Ranged but squishy, Melee squishy/tanky (like Spectre or CK), so you can be flexible if your team fucks up the draft. If you lose your lane, you can still farm and recover and it's harder to punish you, the map is larger, so there are more jungle camps. The abilities allow you to outplay someone solo, or even 1vX if you play good, also as those ranged, "easy to kill" heroes. Teammates are also better, some of them are throwing or trolling as well, but i see less of them than in LoL. There are some toxic players too, but the community is way more chill overall. The community in league is really toxic and delusional, it is filled with mr. know-it-all characters who ping you all the time and they will flame you even if they are wrong sometimes. I played dota for 8 months now (4 months since I started playing ranked) and I regret that I wasn't playing it earlier. I'm on the edge of hitting crusader as carry (3rd lowest rank, but hey, I'm still learning). Both the role and the game are more enjoyable to me. I'm rarely getting tilted.

carries in dota change in a fundamental way when acquiring more expensive items. While in league you only stack damage and nothing else changes. I would say league carries are way more boring because it's the same rightclick and maybe 1-2 buttons the entire game. In dota you can have as many as 10-11 buttons to press on the same character on which you started with only 4, because of items, neutrals, aghanim/shard etc...

[@sc2youtube744]

@SpaceMarine113 very interesting! I didn't realize items and other non spells made such a difference in dota. That does sound kind of cool since as u level up and farm u basically are unlocking new ways of playing the game.

[@sc2youtube744]

@wafel151 thanks for the insight! I appreciate the comparison and it's great to hear that you like the game better and that it's a better community. I quit league because of the community which was so frustrating to play with that I just found myself no longer enjoying many of my games and life is to short to waste 45 minutes having an unpleasant time. The ranged carry play style in dota 2 looks really boring still but it's cool that it's possible to have non adc as a carry in this game whereas lol is only adc and all the adcs are basically the same.

[@LSTR-g6i]

I could be wrong because I'm new to the game, but isn't it better to upgrade Aghanim's scepter for extra item space and replace boots with other items like sange and yasha?

[@cloakrabbit767]

Good video, althrough I think that the mkb is a bad choice. Butterfly has 35% evasion, only single hero has it, your ultimate pierces through evasion, at level 25 there is even a higher chance it will proc. Daedalus is a much better damage item for drow, and would enable you to chew through their tanks faster than mkb.

[@NeuroZerg]

Good point! That makes sense.

@@NeuroZerg Also i feel like its better to rush agha after threads (just skip midas, dragon lance later) and then learn how to aggro and line up double camps, so all of your arrows hit and the camp creeps explode together. Also sometimes after agha I rush blink dagger, because Drow is just so slow otherwise. You can then farm, join fights or escape way faster, and also chase their supports after winning a teamfight. But I wouldn't buy it if they have heroes that really depend on their passives - then silver edge is a better alternative. And if there are 2 or 3 smokes in the shop, your team is not utilizing them, you can buy one and smoke yourself and push lanes invis, because neither multishot or blink remove your smoke (but you probably know that)
