ID: 7797979052 Archon 4-5 (me uncalibrated) I play pos 5 witch doctor. I get pretty much the perfect game start. 8 kills before 10 minutes. Their offlane cant do anything but feed while my pos 1 is freefarming. Still their pos 1 crushes us. This happens to me all the time where I stomp early game but lose late game badly. I've been hardstuck in archon for ages. Can it really just be bad teammates or what should I do differently?

Such a great playlist for beginners like me. Thanks for everything you do for the community!

can you review one of my game? im legend 2 and im playing ogre 5 my team mates feed the entire game and i dont know why we lose heres the id: 7797147932

i get ppl shitting on me for being bad but i legit just started rank im not even calibrated im sorry guys im trying 😭

It is a faucet you will only use once and it's not OP, it is really garbage, choosing a faucet only to lose it thats crap honestly

For the guy with the hat; yes a bear knows what he is but do you know what you are ? Or have you forgtoon you is a human. Not a robot. Acting like something you're not.

I think the reason why Dota is soooo toxic is cuz its team game and is reliant in each teammates heavily like a piece of a big body. COD for example also has team matches but not as toxic cuz its still about your own stats.

my brain is not braining... help

Love your videos, I have a question though. Now that ring of bassilus builds into arcane boots, how should i decide if i should get arcane boots or tranquil boots?

Thank you so much Zach,Since I watch your 2 video(herald, guardian) I'm out of guardians with in 2 days and not just in crusader now I'm in archon only for only 3 weeks because of your advice. Hope you continue this series it super useful.

6 games lost in a row with pos 5 4 3 or 5 4 and 2 or 5 4 and 1 griefing with these scores: 0 11, 0 12, 0 13. No matter the role i play, the help i give, the kills i do, the words i write to try to communicate, the wards i buy, the wards i deward, the smokes i buy, the split push i do, nothing works, it's all about luck the rest is all rhetoric cope. Dota is build like a slot machine, and it works like a drug, it's all an illusion

this dude is SO funny

Low ranker play pos4 exactly like they would pos5. Do not trust their words, they’re bad and know nothing. They quickly watch your videos and learn nothing.

The real problem is heralds always pick to scale. Thats not on zach

You're a very good teacher. I hope I can apply these learnings when I play ^^

thanks for doing this, weaver supp is so much fun, was hoping for a Weaver guide for a while but WD is so busted in my bracket right now I basically have to first pick/ban him. Weaver will be my second choice :)

Can you do one on Treant @ZQuixotix? His attack facet seems like it is promoting an attack minded hero but not sure if it's worth it for a support.

Im legend in sea, and unplay pos 1 alot recently and im the one that begging my teammate to come go Ake tormentor

Thanks Zach, just dropped from 5.1K to 4.4K in 1 month due to doubledown and obsession of getting back what i've lost. This is a true reminder of what should have been. Dota is a game to have fun with.

I play Venomancer NO MATTER WHAT

nice guide

Wait till you play SEA server

How do Aus players compare to them both (6k)?

Forced 50% winrate is true,even valve said its true,but this guy is not that good Just for example,pro players has 55% winrate maximum and those 5% seperate them from all of uss.Thats all.If guy calibrate 6000 mmr and has 9K games and have 54% winrate in ranked,take math. Thats all simple as that.

Everytime I come back to this video it really strikes me how little this guy wants to change anything. He's not looking to improve at the game, he's looking for players he looks up to, to tell him that it's his team's fault that he loses, or it's smurfs, or it's him being tilted. Never once does he think, "this is something I could do differently"

Is shadowfiend a flexible hero? I want to try and play sf because he looks cool

jemminate

Just play to learn not to win and you'll improve, study other players, watch your own replays, take responsibility for the things you could do better, and just understand everyone is learning you arent going to have the best teammates every time, blaming them does nobody any good though, just always try your best and when your losing its simply a chance to practice and learn to be better.

Has anyone been pronouncing it “griss griss” like me? 🥴

Match ID: 7785038711 I am playing Pugna We destroyed lane, Troll had twice the net value of the enemy offlane combined at 8 minutes. He refuses to group, and wants to continue farming one more item. I try to rally the troops multiple times to try and push with our MASSIVE advantage, but fail to do so. Troll spent the entire game in vc saying that he needs to farm out Battle fury, then BKB and after that he needs MKB, and after he has MKB he needs rosh and THEN he can fight.. But at that point the enemy team has already caught up, and it is too late. I am relatively new to dota, but I have played 5k hours in League. I am currently Legend 1. I know that I am not flawless, and I only have 200 games so my game knowledge is still lacking in many aspects. Hope you take a look, the game is the biggest throw I've ever had in any of my games.

8:05 thank you man im gonna practice diving fountain on minute -1 thank you!!!

Take a drink every time ZQuixotix says Shikuchi

"sorry guys zquidoaih;gd gave me some bad advice" 🤣

I honestly think their is an iq issue here. I literally say this with the upmost respect. I don’t think he/she has the mental capacity to understand or react to the game in a timely manner

Just show him the guide button on Dota it should help him a lot

The number one problem I consistently see in low elo is a total lack of aggression. I've been in so many games where we're are light years ahead and instead of pushing, getting objectives, kills, and denying the enemy their jungle, the cores just want to afk farm our jungle for the next 30 minutes while the enemy team farms back into the game. The objective of this game is simple, kill the enemy team and knock down their base. It's the number one rule, the only rule, and yet so many players just want to play passively and "hope" they will magically win in the end. Watch the top pub games, it's fighting nonstop. Kill the enemy and knock down their base!

Oh god I didn’t know they bought the old ags back, hoodwink, our time together has been amazing, I’m back to spamming weaver support ! Well pos4

As a Warlock spammer playing exclusively with Grimoire (the other facet is dogshit) what I can say is: never use the grimoare before level 6, but also not point in holding on to it past level 12. What I use it for is to be able to get to level 10 or 12, while having the shard. With shard and those few extra levels you get such a big powerspike that you can do anything that's needed in the game: you can split-push with bonds and upheaval, you can teamfight with bonds and upheaval, you can jungle with bonds and upheaval. As you noticed, no points in Healing until you have nothing else to put points in. Warlock is incredibly busted in Pubs, only concerted actions by the other team can beat him and that requires Divine/Immortal level play or a great team against you.

What if another hero desperatly wants to build Urn/Vessel (e.g. Invo Mid)? Is there a better option than falcon blade? That's my pick as it also provides some of the same things an urn does early on (extra HP for survivability, mana regen and some damage for the early to mid game) but I was wondering wether I am missing something else I could build instead.

this is because they removed the items that is being used for jungle roles 😒

Hey thanks for the video! Can you please do a tier list for support heroes? I dont think we're gonna get another patch soon lol

watch more dota when you recover.. not after you lost 10x in a row coz I hated dota2 even more.

er 2 comes around i consume and hopefully get the philosopher's stone

The pushing first wave on empty lane is early lvl 2 over your enemies in turbo

They just nerfed ss and warlock so sup weaver it is

Lv 25 talent is a cheat. If you have shard, everytime shukuchi was used it will throw geminate attacks. Weaver will only show up .25 secs everytime. 😂

I feel like weavers geminate attack isnt as good as Jakiro's double trouble for tombstone or egg. With Jakiro, you can kill wards with it, and its zero cooldown so damage wise not an improvement(cz it reduces damage) but against tombstone, egg etc its really good.

Totally disagree. Shukuchi does nothing to keep you out of Lion's or Shaman's or Disruptor's bullshit on lane (it is pretty good against Witch Doctor or Willow or Wyvern, or other slow-casting supports though), focusing on spamming mana-intensive stuff on **Weaver** on lane (swarm also pushes lane badly) sounds dumb. You eat a earth spike or two and enemy carry will beeline to kill you. So, Geminate to max in all the cases and melt enemy supports while denying like a god. Plus, you can farm super quckly after laning phase. Swarm is really good in 1vs1, like on mid lane to get early kill. Item and talent build is spot-on though. Shukuchi-Swarm build is a life-saver on lane if enemy has carry that can catch and slow you with their hits, like PA or Drow or TA and Huskar and so on. No matter how you measure it, Weaver's abilities are better against classic MID heroes and he's way better in 1v1 than getting trampled on lane against two heroes... so I'm not sold on support weaver. Late game Skadi is incredible to both be tanky and catch everyone.

I've played with Zach about like 5 times, our win rate is like 1-4. :(

duo with phoenix will be great to slow their attackspeeds
