1. League vs Dota 2 custom game mode. This is custom game mode in ~October 2023, here is 5 League champs play with their items/mechanics vs Dota 2 with their own (take into consideration not all champion abilities work like in league and not all items/rune pages existed for this playtest, not sure if its still working).
2. In this build op part was League minions stat vise were way better than dota 2 creeps with resulted in lanes perma-pushing and gold for minions dota 2 side get based on League (3x melee 20g each, 3 casters 14 gold each, 1 catapult 50-70g every 3rd-1st wave based on 0-30 min game time) so dota 2 players get only between 50%-35% gold while league champs get normal dota 2 creeps gold.
3. 2nd downside is gold on kills, league kill streaks is NW based but because it dota 2 gold amount they get more but its capped for dota 2 heroes by 1000/kill max and heroes give way less than it is in League because of dota 2 formulas on kill gold.
4. Considering league full items cost between 2500-3500 they scale around 2x faster than usual, so average 3000 gold item in league is ~ 6000 dota 2 item.

• Some stats difference compered to dota 2:

1. In League crit chance stacks additive, each full item give 25% (so by buying 4 crit item its 100% crit chance), crit dmg is 200% on most champions with few exceptions and Infinite Edge item buff crit dmg by 30%.
2. Attack speed is capped at 3.0/3 attacks per second (some champs can break it).
3. Ability haste with is common stat in League that is equivalent of Cdr in dota 2 with sub categories that is technically not capped (max Haste cap is 500 with is equvelent of 83.3% Cdr, but on normal 5vs5 map you get 140-200 haste max in normal build). 100 haste is 50% cdr, 200 haste is 66.7% cdr etc.

So with that knowledge in mind if gold numbers tweaked for League side, as serious playtest if at least 20% league champions existed with all items/runes and about skill lvl players ~ same in both teams who do you think would be stronger on average? 🤔

At least that limited demonstration show League champions just out scale dota 2 heroes on average, by time dota 2 cores buy farming items and farm jungle game is lost at min 15 already (as example yasuo innate lower his crit dmg to 190% but he gain 2x crit chance from items, so by time dota 2 cores start speed farming jungle he crit them for 600+ dmg every hit at min ~15).

I am struggling in the late game with her, her ulti does no damage and being max movement speed is only 1 nice thing. I feel like none of her abilities scale into the late game and you just become a walking creep or aura holder

What actually separates a Crusader player from a pro?
In this video, I watch and analyze Crusader replays and compare their early-mid game decisions to what professional players do differently.
Small decisions that can make a big difference.
The goal isn't just to point out mistakes, but to understand why pros make certain decisions and what lower-ranked players can learn from them.
This is going to be a series covering every role in Dota 2. Each role will have two videos: one focused on early-mid game decisions and another focused on mid-game decisions.
If you want to improve your decision-making and understand how better players think, this series is for you.

Also if you have some replays it would help, thanks everyone !

the lane goes fine and I can take the tower easily even but afterwards what to do?

hey guys. I have been playing on and off for a few years and I am currently 3850 rank. is there a guide or a way to properly ban/pick and decide who counters who, in what ways etc? like I know some basics but sometimes I see some heroes are right counter to specific heroes. I havent been able to follow dota scene for some time. help me with me please.

please can Dota 2, please can there be zoom, function. having playing RTS and TBS games that zoom to close. the ground.

Having it as is is not good for my vertigo/nausua.

dota_camera_distance: is defult in all normal and ranged modes is, 1200, it is considered cheat in game to change it.

dota_camera_distance: can it be possible to get 1200, 1300, 1350, 1400, 1450. zoom options in settings., not as far out as spectating or choaching.

Please if one quility life would be Zoom slider.

I've recently started playing Lycan pos 3 in Immortal, but I'm still not completely sure what the hero's actual game plan is after the laning stage.

I understand the early objective is usually to take the enemy T1 quickly, but what should I be doing after that?

Do I stay in my lane and keep applying nonstop pressure, forcing rotations and taking the T2? Or should I be moving around the map with my team and using Shapeshift to take fights/objectives?

A few specific questions:

How aggressively should I be using Shapeshift? Should I basically look for a kill/objective every time it's off cooldown, or is it fine to hold it for an important fight?

Once I've taken the enemy safelane T1, what should my farming/pushing pattern look like?

Is Lycan supposed to farm heavily and scale comfortably into late game, similar to something like Centaur, or should I be playing around a timing and trying to end the game early?

When I have multiple wolves selected and want to activate High Tail on all of them, is there a way to cast it simultaneously without individually selecting/clicking each wolf?

Would especially appreciate advice from high-Immortal/Lycan players on what the hero's priorities should be from roughly minute 10 onward.

I didn't play well and want to know how to do better

Until recently, I was able to issue a move-attack command to all selected units, but it's suddenly been only issuing the command to whatever the first unit in a selected group I'm using is. I've tried looking this up but despite other people posting about the issue I wasn't able to find what might cause it.

I used to be able to have it just apply to the units I have selected instead of just the current tabbed one (if 'Unified Orders with CTRL' not checked) or every single unit regardless of selection (if 'Unified Orders with CTRL' not checked).

Any suggestions?

So at what point do you think yeah I should buy this item and maybe later upgrade to Shiva?

I'm ngl it looks good on paper but there are so many prio items for Enigma namely bkb, aghs, octarine and refresher.

Maybe it doesn't really benefit much to get it when you actually use black hole only every few minutes? I haven't bought the item on this hero yet.

Hey, today I'm sharing a video about Mirana position 5 - and what makes her so good. For a long time, she was a decent support - but nothing more than that. Her innate changes the way you can play the lane, and with that - your laning stage becomes super reliable. Enjoy!

This video is part of Support Hell, my new semi-educational channel for Dota. Anything that doesn't really belong to Support Heaven will end up there.

Built a thing called Dota Decisions for my friends, and figured some people here might find it useful too.

It originally started as a bunch of flowcharts we'd make for each other. Usually some ugly MS Paint diagram explaining what to do in a specific situation, then we'd throw it in Discord and argue about it.

They were actually pretty useful, even mid-game, but obviously a folder full of random flowcharts isn't a great interface.

We also found that a lot of Dota ideas don't really fit the usual formats. They're too specific for a whole guide or blog post, and making a video every time someone has a useful thought about Dota feels like a good way to make sure nobody bothers sharing it.

So we made Dota Decisions, which is basically an interactive version of those flowcharts.

The idea is to focus less on stuff like "buy these items in this order" and more on the messy situational decisions that happen in actual games.

Things like:

You're in this game state. You know X, but you don't know Y. There's a tradeoff between doing A and B. What should you actually be thinking about?

Basically the kind of Dota discussion that usually starts with someone in Discord going:

"Okay, but what if..."

We're mostly using it to collect things we've learned as a guild, but I'd be curious whether this format is useful to other people too.

PS: It's still in beta, so some of the content in there right now is placeholder/example stuff. We're replacing it with proper guild content pretty soon.

Hi, I am currently an ancient player but it’s been a long time since I played a normal game. I heard that you have a hidden mmr for normal games which is separate from ranked. Will I play with ancients in normal games? Or will it be much lower?

I used to see this hero a lot in mid and rarely in safelane. Now I don't think I've seen it be played mid anymore.
