  • In this video, you will learn how to play Death Prophet Mid in a dominant and aggressive way that can generate you an 80% winrate and above if executed properly. You will be able to see clips of how to abuse the broken hero in Mid by diving towers as early as lvl 3, and breaking the enemy mid tower as early as 6-8 minutes.
    The video will be an extremely thorough analysis of the game plan for the hero around the Mid area, such as what to do during laning phase for every level, what are the common power spikes and what to look out for when playing the lane. After that, I will dive into the early game and mid game phase to teach you guys how to push your advantage and close out the game.
    Hope you will enjoy the video, thank you!

    Great video. What do you do if your side lanes are losing hard? Do you still stay mid or do you rotate to help them? In my last game supports rotated mid but side lanes couldn't win 2v1

    • @BalloonDota
      @BalloonDota  Před 4 měsíci

      Rotations should still be made as long as you feel that it will result in a positive outcome. Sitting at mid and keeping lanes pushed in without moving is only applicable when you cannot contribute to much results in the sidelanes.

    My friend actually gained like +500 mmr in 2 weeks spamming Death Prophet but then lost all of it as soon as he switched to other heroes. So I don't really see a point of boosting yourself or others by spamming just one broken strat, because then what happens is you just find yourself in higher mmr than you can actually play and ruin a lot of games for other players. I think it's better at first to think what roles and heroes you want to play and then at first learn some basics like creep agro and what you should do with your role in various situations like winning lane, losing lane, early game, mid game, etc.

      Hi guys, if you actually study this video deeper, you will notice that I talk a lot about general concepts being applied such as securing control, warding, pushing of waves, taking good fights etc. These are concepts that are able to be carried over across every other heroes. Watch some of my previous videos like the Lina first 20 mins, and compare that with this and you will notice a ton of similarities. I am not a firm believer of spamming heroes to master them. However, I do believe strongly in understanding and mastering fundamental concepts that are applicable across every other hero. Do watch the entire video further down and some of my other Midlane videos and compare the advice to see the similarities. You will notice they are extremely similar and general to how to play Mid proficiently. The hero simply fits the concepts extremely well. I could teach another Mid hero and it would still be very similar to this video, just with different power spikes and spell usage. Laning concepts, early game plan, mid game phase are almost 80-90% similar. Hope this makes sense guys :)

    • @BalloonDota
      @BalloonDota  Před 6 měsíci +3

      Hi bro, maybe you might have mistaken the idea of the gameplay. You need to move to side lanes if you can clearly pose a threat and push the towers and waves on the other lanes. The only thing that needs to be done before that is to ensure your own mid lane is pushed in and no new waves are spawning. Then if you are allowed to connect to a side lane after, whether that's to push or kill heroes there, you should be doing that instead of farming their jungle camps. Distance and consequences have to be taken into consideration. Do not, by any means afk at mid and just sit there even when you have pushed mid wave out and there are things to connect to near you. At the same time, you need to consider if there are any kill opportunities around you or whether or not you have set up control with wards and vision + rune control before deciding the other lane movements. It sounds like you were stuck at mid not moving despite the game telling you to move to PL to shut him down after you have solved everything around mid.

    • @BalloonDota
      @BalloonDota  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Hi, DP honestly is a flexible pick. There isn't really a true counter to her such that a counter to her would mostly mean a counter to other heroes such as heavy disables. You can be confident to pick her regardless of the matchup as she is very flexible and does decently against most of the matchups in the game.

    • @PSYCH0N4VT
      @PSYCH0N4VT Před 6 měsíci +2

      Very long range heroes like sniper or lina because they will outfarm you with better animation and you will not be able to siphon them.
      Heroes who can break siphon easily should be 50/50 (like qop, puck, od), but probably won't be able to dominate.

    • @BalloonDota
      @BalloonDota  Před 6 měsíci

      @@PSYCH0N4VT hi, this is not necessarily true because with proper laning fundamentals and understanding, you can still get on top of these long ranged heroes to Siphon them while chipping them down with Crypt Swarm at lvl 1 and 3, followed by Siphon dives off boots at lvl 4 and 5.

    Balloon, how do you play late game DP if mistakes are made early or you don't finish quick enough? I used to love playing DP but she falls off late game and I struggle

    • @BalloonDota
      @BalloonDota  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Hi, then perhaps the focus wouldn't be into how to play her when you make mistakes, but rather working on those mistakes you made in the first place. Often, mistakes are a byproduct of inconsistent habits and incorrect understanding of concepts, so that should be where you should be placing focus on to learn instead. DP typically stays online all throughout and only starts falling around 35-40 mins onwards. At that point, you probably need to start itemizing for more damage output items such as turning into more right-click based like Parasma.

      You need to run into his face, buy a blink and bkb ult on top of him to ult siphon him down. In lane, you need to catch him off guard by moving into him when he decides to commit to a creep last hit to close distance to him.

    • @BalloonDota
      @BalloonDota  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Hi, Huskar is not strong at early level 1 and 2. He starts becoming a problem at 3, especially 4 5 onwards. Abuse his short attack range and constantly harass him at lvl 1 and 2 early on so you eventually get 3 faster than him and dive with 2 spirit siphon charges while he is still lvl 2. This is the best way to go about it.

    • @BalloonDota
      @BalloonDota  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Hi, ideally securing both melee and ranged is best if you can set up the melee fast enough. Otherwise, if you can secure melee with spell and still right click enemy a ton that would work fine. In most scenarios, it would be best to secure the enemy ranged, but not always as this is specific to the scenario at hand. Sometimes you would need to stop hitting the melee creep so it dies slower, and change target to the ranged creep to time both together, all the while juggling between aggroing, avoiding harass from enemy and harassing the enemy at the same time.
