    Super videos! My friend and I watched your “get out of the trench” video just after Christmas and decided to try and improve at dota rather than just playing. We’ve climbed ~1250 mmr since then with a 65-70% win rate. We’ve both learned a lot from your videos and our success comes is down to your content for sure! Thanks very much!!

    I'm super new and have only played about 15 games (unranked). I enjoy warding/de-warding and understand the concepts but it's been a real challenge in-game. Either my poor map awareness makes me an easy gank, my teammates hog the wards early on and then flame me for not warding, or there's so much going on I don't know when to go ward (and when to support my team). So much to learn 🙃

    • @ingrimni7177

      when to ward = when your cores spells are cd / either when you think you shouldnt even if team goes in. At your level of games there are no exception to time in game its afk farming or afk fighting for respect. Do your own thing dont play your team and you will learn dota.

      It helps to know where on the map you and your teammates should want to play at various stages of the game. That will help you determine where and when go ward, because it's always safer to play when you can see the enemy coming and avoid them rotating towards you (or your carry). You'll also get in the habit of thinking about warding while you're already doing other stuff.

    Great video, but I wish you covered one more topic: gem of truesight.
    When do you get it, but also how to play around when the opponents get it, and your expected ward lifetime goes waaay down. I guess you hold the wards for placing the do-or-die fight wards only?

    I thought I'd throw in a suggestion for your videos: increase the Dota graphics when you're filming (assuming your PC can handle it). It's really a deep thing, but I think it might increase the quality of your videos without you having to do much.

    "CHECK CHECK CHECK!! the enemy support inventory" is what I find telling to myself whenever I'm watching my own replays, we need to be constantly checking the enemy support to have some idea where is he warding. Dewarding is as strong as warding, everybody knows how difficult is to play when the map is dark.

    Might be a silly thing to ask of a support main. But could you make a video about when you should NOT buy bkb?
    I feel like it's a high MMR skill to recognize when bkb should or shouldn't be bought.

  • @AfroBlackSiren
    @AfroBlackSiren Před rokem +3

    Oh god, I am remembering the old times when sentry and observers didn't stack together, their lifes weren't set to 10 (so they took damage like normal units and some heroes had a VERY hard time safely dewarding because of it).
    I think the only thing I truly miss was being able to break wards with the small axe that breaks trees, when melees supports didn't have extra attack range against wards, so they had to either eat with tangos or ask for another ranged hero to deward, which gave them the money.
    Supporting nowadays is way less stressful and I'm glad newer players don't have to deal with all the inconveniences older players had to deal with.

      @Shellll Před 9 měsíci

      I had a game where enemy had Mirana, safelane Riki, and a mid SF who went silver edge. Our team had no stealth.
      So I would say anytime that active gems in the game hurt the enemy team more than your own

    19:15 in situations like this, if I'm level 12 or 17 (fast respawn timer compared to other higher level players) I might put the ward on those northeast stairs that lead to dire bot tier 3 and stand where yellow is to be a "living ward".
    Is that wrong? Probably, because most things I do are wrong. But it's what my instinct sometimes tells me to do.

      You definitely should be placing wards as pos 1.
      They're free, you're usually more capable of putting deep wards down and you know what vision you need to be safe when farming. This whole only supports ward thing is pretty dated imo

    Pretty situational, but if you've mastered this concept enough you can pretty much sense the wards
    As an example as a pos4 sky main, i generally place a sentry ward on enemy safelane cliff at 10 mins or so because I'm always sure there's an obs there at any given moment
    There's also pre-warding which in 90% of cases is better to block the enemy small camp
