Bro you are a legend creating this beginner's guide videos; I haven't seen any other video that provides as much help as yours do. Great job bro :)

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thank you so much! I'm happy to help!!

[@jwinterspring]

Thanks bro. I'm planning on switching main hero from Dazzle to either Warlock or Shadow Shaman. Dazzle is so hard to play when your carry always expects you to grave him but the problem is that the enemies will always target you with disables and prioritise you in team fights making you grave yourself or grave a full hp core or just wait for them to end you. Unlike Dazzle, Shaman and Warlock can become useful even after deaths when their ultimates are released. This helps me out a lot since I just started, thanks.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Fantastic! I'm so happy that the video helped. I really do think Shaman is in a really good spot right now, you've made the right choice! Warlock is solid too, and seems to be doing really well in the meta :D

[@jwinterspring]

Thanks bro. I will try my best to apply these tips and tricks and hope for a good improvement.

[@LogiQCinema]

Hoi started playingdota a couple days ago and just wanna say thank you, i really enjoy playing ogre magi and have been strugglin with itemisation This really helped me out :)

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Awesome!! I'm happy to help :D

[@danielle_does]

Thanks for yet another awesome guide Alex. A lot of useful information! Scythe of the vyse seems like such a good useful item in team fights- why do I rarely see it being used?

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thanks Danielle, you're the best! Scythe is super expensive and it's hard for the position 4 to afford it, honestly. That's kinda the main issue with it lol

[@danielle_does]

@@AlexanderCoccia understood! I wish it was cheaper- I want to see piggies everywhere!!!! 😆

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol

[@Aliisgoingsomewhere]

Another really great guide, Thanks a lot Alex ❤

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad you liked it!

[@tekudiv]

That Arcane boots disassemble is 200 IQ play!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Disassembling is one of those things that a lot of people don't properly utilize!

[@javad4083]

thank u so much. i love this game and ur videos helped me so much.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad I could help!

[@lorenceevangelio6826]

Thank you for this!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chocolateboigg3979]

Your voiceovers are great any tips mine seems to random and non enthusiastic

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Im not sure what you mean? Do you mean my microphone? I just talk into it :)

[@jiminsbulge9448]

9:56 in what kind of situations would you use warlock's ult?

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I often see it used to initiate a teamfight because of the stun! They also do a ton of damage

[@mator-pc2fl]

I have just played my first game of Dota because of You Alex. THANKS MAN 🌹

[@AlexanderCoccia]

You're welcome! Good luck out there!!

[@jiminsbulge9448]

Ogre became my main because of you, even got him the arcana bundle 😈 I’m a real gamer now

[@AlexanderCoccia]

LOL! Yes! Also I've been meaning to tell you that I think you should play a few games as Ogre and then pass along a replay to Zquixotix for a detailed analysis. Hearing that you've been having some challenges in game broke my heart and so let's get you expert advice for your new arcana :)

[@jiminsbulge9448]

Alexander Coccia aw thank you so much! I was pretty down that day after some bad games haha I would love to do that!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Awesome!!! Tomorrow I'll send him a discord msg to get you hooked up :D

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Okay, you've gotta go to his discord (discord.gg/prtPjKN77y) and there's a replay analysis channel where you can put in your request! I let him know to keep an eye out for yours :)

[@samantswap]

Hello! Firstly, thank you for your videos. I am a new player with just 40 hours and while I have a few friends who help me a lot, your videos and the way of teaching the mechanics of Dota is so good and helpful. I had one question. Is Sniper with an Aghanim's sceptre good as a semi support semi carry a good build? I won 3 matches with it but I wanted to know if it's viable.

[@nicktsakalidis1551]

Sniper shouldn't really be support(well any hero can somewhat play the other roles but it isn't ideal)

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thank you for the kind words, I am happy to hear that my videos and teaching style are helping!! As for Support Sniper, that actually used to be a legitimate thing. However, it was nerfed a while back pretty severely and now sniper is almost exclusively played in a core role. Its awesome that you've won a few games trying that build out, but as you start progressing against more experienced competition you'll find that the build isn't viable. If you're interested in playing Sniper, he is currently played primarily in the Midlane as a carry. Perhaps sometime in the future support sniper will be back :)

[@Grukag]

are there ways to find a usual group to play toghter?

[@AlexanderCoccia]

hmm... perhaps that's something I should try to organize sometime in the future.

[@Grukag]

@@AlexanderCoccia I've been looking at DOTA2 for a long time but it seems a lot hard to learn

[@assassinedward6369]

Can you also include Vengeful Spirit in a later video? I need to know good items for her

[@elmo7608]

You can always pick a guide at the top where it says browse all guides, that should give you a good idra

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I'll see what I can do. These were based on high winrate heroes and so maybe Venge will get there soon lol

[@MathersMahmood]

Think I’m going to have to main a support. I so so so hate it when the teams just full of carries in ranked. It’s so silly.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol greedy lineups are a little too common in lower MMRs, yeah

[@poloi3440]

Are those supports still the bests in the current patch?

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Yes. There haven't been major change ups yet balance wise. Some changes sure, but nothing crazy. A lot of the balance changes since have focused on more complex heroes

[@poloi3440]

@@AlexanderCoccia oh and by the way do you know how often they do major changes?

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol no one knows 🤣🤣 but not very often

[@tekudiv]

How to use only 1 mango? Whenever I click mango it consumes all of it!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Lol you should just be able to click it once, or press the hotkey once

[@griffindoerr1438]

come on valorant one day for fresh content
