The problem with these lobby smurf games is you get real offlane heros in offlane and real mid lane heros in midlane. instead of 2 ranged carry heros top and bot and a ranged support hero mid.

[@TW-fs3fj]

There are no wrong support items at the moment imo. Meme hammer, crest, force, glimmer, drums w.e are all reliable and depending on the match up you're in can often carry you

@@damonruetama8126 yes, I understand... but that would not help with the point of the video.. it would actually be detrimental. I mean, I think it would be fine for him to do that in another series of videos, but I think that for the people who want to learn this is a much better format.

[@damonruetama8126]

@@Gunnl I respectfully disagree. I would not find it detrimental to see a game where he doesn't stomp the other team and actually have to come back or face a losing situation. The situation would be helpful and informative and more entertaining in my opinion. I think while this format is useful in its own way and you can learn from any game it is less useful than what I'm proposing as those in lowering mmr are not usually going to be in these stomp games where you're following the lead of a smurf. Most can figure out who BSJ is and if they don't they still play more as a team in these lobby games. You're entitled to your opinion though. 😀

[@swinglen]

why is youtube giving me these old vids...

[@HalIOfFamer]

thing with the trench is that if you get an early lead it often leads to victory unless your team throws. so just play supports that dont allow throws. warlock, witch doctor 5, shaker, enigma 4. if your team gets out of position you just us your fight winning ulti. simple as.

19:56 listen

[@onlinepersona4333]

One thing I've found that works is to pay attention to your core hero timings. Just say "hey mars, I have smoke when you get blink" for example. It lets them know that you're paying attention to what they need and they're more likely to listen to calls in that case. And, as BSJ has said before, if your team doesn't listen, just adapt and do the next best thing you can think of. Another thing about making calls, often your teammates aren't stupid, they're just too focused on their game to notice things. I played a PA carry game the other day and when we were ahead my team called for rosh, and I just said "vacuum wall is scary to fight in pit, let's wait for a pick". My teammates had similar skill relative to mine, they just weren't thinking about what could go wrong at rosh like I did. So in that vein, you don't so much need to make calls as point out information they can use to make better decisions themselves.

Thank u bsj. This build actually helps me a lot I got 2 win using this build along with the rotations u said.

[@RGollie03]

There are many decent 1.5k+ mmr, dedicated supp players that can't rank up as easily due to less direct control over winning. As a 1800 mmr dedicated support, I often get compliments for doing these basics (probably why 13k commends in 8k games). In the other 50% of my games I get flamed and blamed by carries who do all or some of following. rant incoming 😂 My carry won't stop playing aggro into a stronger duo, won't pick a hero that either synergizes with me or counters them in lane then is getting less farm, cries about pulls when enemy is contesting or I've just dewarded the pull camps, doesn't play safe or pull when I'm stacking/getting bounty, doesn't farm the stacks I make in a timely manner and enemy takes, doesn't harrass enemy as well as farm when I am in lane, doesn't cast spells to help supp such as slows or stuns when enemy go on, doesn't know when safelane isn't safe anymore, doesn't watch map to see enemy rotations or ganks under vision/ignores retreat pings, stands afk when friendly mid or supp ganks, doesn't understand the difference between a support zoning/harrasing and will full commit in disadvantaged situations, doesn't appreciate my deaths where I have successfully saved them, doesn't appreciate solo xp where I have baited enemy supp away from lane and pings my level, expects unlimited regen and then asks why I have no items, flames me for securing range creep, pings flames me for pushing wave slightly to remove enemy regen or harrass. Any player who thinks it's still Laning phase after min 10 is deluded and potentially costing their team the W by not prioritising objectives if in an early Vs late lineup.

[@edward222100]

@@RGollie03 Completely agree with you, I have seen many many of these things in my own games.

[@peterjordansonthe2nd731]

@Wuggerups Yeah, I mean literally at the beginning of the game after the rune when he was already going at the CM - most low MMR people don't do stuff like that. I will say that I wish he didn't choose one of the more OP heroes in the meta right now, although he didn't go for the radiance build (obviously, as a support). If he's gonna go pos 5, I think it would be way more interesting if he chose a traditional hard support like shadow shaman, or lion for example. With those heroes, you are 100% dependent on your team, so if they make stupid choices, then it's alot harder to win

Yea seems like drow had a good matchup against mars. I think it’s hard to deal with her in lane as a melee 3. Tough to get close due to frost arrows.

Noob question here. I noticed the wards are double stacked into one inventory slot. That's terrific because I can carry one extra item now.

I usually play a ward bitch and I have to run around the warding spots dropping which ever ward DOTA decided was the priority and then run back and re-hit all of the spots with the opposite type of ward... I just saw this guy switch which ward he was going to drop. How do you do that?!?!?

Good luck. It’s hard. Team makes you pick first, and then they pick a mid drow like my game yesterday, which wouldn’t be god awful if they were decent … but no, it wasn’t to be. Herald is the worst because there’s a huge skill range between 1 and 4, and there’s too much noise in the rating system such that you’re almost guaranteed to have herald 4s in your team that should probably be 2s at the most.

[@peterjordansonthe2nd731]

Yeah, people don't understand the struggle of playing on a team with low MMR teammates. My last two games right before I got my official ranking, I (stupidly) was drunk and I played two games as pos 5 with lich as one, and I can't remember the other one. I had the worst k/d of all time, but my team also really did suck. I shouldn't have played ranked at the time for obvious reasons, but it's super frustrating because I know when I'm playing clear headed that I should be at a minimum 2k MMR

In my humble opinion as a divine 4 player, I think a good way to come out of herald is to master 1 mid hero. Be so good at the hero and laning mechanics that you can at least solo kill enemy mid 1 time, then help side lanes, then go back to farm, then kill, then farm then kill. All without the need of teammates. Naturally you'll win I believe.

If you're better than other herald players, go mid and stomp the enemy mid with a scaling hero. Deny their creeps, harass them, and eventually kill them a couple of times. Then use your advantage to survive fights using your team to tank spells for you, and teamwipe them. Herald midlaners are so shit at laning (I know because I smurfed an acc out of herald to prove to a friend that a skilled player can get out of herald) that you can walk all over them and treat them like a plaything. Dota at most levels is pure chaos - if you're better than other players at your rank, you can find ways to step on them and rise out of the chaos😉
