'Don't play at night'!? You're thinking about it all wrong Jenkins. Since we know those late night games have the worst players, those are the easiest games to win! All you have to do is to be the bigger degenerate and turn your whole life upside down and adapt to late night gaming! Then you will be the 50 ping guy playing against the 200 ping guys all the time! gg ez
@@thatonerandomguyontheinter4971 everyone don't wanna sleep after a lost. Also with 90% of those players from third-world countries with shit wi-fi, night time is the best time where ping is constant 120.
My best tip? Treat your teammates like your best and only friends. I cant count the number of games I won where my team has given up, or I have given up, and I, or a teammate, kepts insisting that we can do it, suggested actions, guided, encouraged, pointed out what we did well together with what we did badly, celebrated our victories, and didnt give up on the team during our failuers. Dota is a team game. Its at its core, a social game. And its teamwork that wins dota.
I do this when it's like my 2nd game during my grinding mindset. I was once called out for being "toO niCe tO pLaY cArRy" by my tilted teammate but stalling a 20 min hg loss to a 50 min game through PMA and focus alone makes me feel like a Sigma gigachad
Wise words. Even if say, your teammates don't end up listening to you and you still lose the game, you can be satisfied with the result regardless, since you know you tried your very best.
Ahaha no way ... That's exactly what I beg for in my team no matter what role I play I ask support pick stuns pls. Even when I am one of the supports, first thibg I type in draft phase after banns is Hello team and 2nd is "Supports please pick stuns" even tho I am one of the supports. I am getting truley mad when I pick an offlaner such as Necro or Doom that are currentley very decent in meta and I first phase them ask supports for stuns and then get Aa pos5 and Veno pos 4 and I go wild in my mind. So I can deffinitly feel u brother and the pain when u have lineup with 1 stun and it is not even a reliable stun but some sort of aoe stun or skillshot that u can mess up and enemys have some of these :AM, Qop, Puck, Storm or whatever mobile and escapr hero hahaa. Literally feels unwinable since draft
@Ivan Alejandro Garcia Hernandez at least even the poorest pos 5 but if the hero has the stun it will make the enemy buy bkb or euls and etc which is make them need time and space for farming and your team can smoke gank that farmer enemy carry
I made a whole ass sea shanty playlist for this exact purpose and now I have 70% winrate with Kunkka at 300 games ua-cam.com/play/PLhMxSfIFC3kq_uegNzaKVqvM34SQZUUxu.html
DotA advice from someone who plays dota since 2005: Play only if it makes you feel better. If after a game you feel less good than before then it is time to stop.
It's so cool seeing all of these tips and clips of The Dota 2 Reporter. I feel like Wronchi had a good series that actually kinda teaches you a little bit with memes.
My biggest regret in early DotA days was letting my friends push me into roles I didn't enjoy. I love playing Mid and Offlane or Support (Pos 4), but since I played with a bunch of egotists, I was forced to Hard Support and my pos 4 would play as a 4th core... Biggest regret.
Simple solution DONT HAVE FRIENDS THAT PLAY DOTA only friends from less toxic games. SOLO QUE FOR THE WIN XD got me to divine 2 with solo que no party invite no add friendlist If someone like me can get calibrated to ancient and climb to divine only on solo que im pretty sure u can aswell and thats not the worst part Im playing on SEA if ur in NA, or any other region chances are you wont get qued to people WITH NO MICROPHONE ! In sea I kid u not almost 90% of the player base have no mic XD imagine typing commands and telling ur team their being ganked at the moment and amount of "TP TP TP TP" spamming in chat is immeasurable
It's great and all to perform at peak efficiency...but my ping in SEA is still like I'm playing from Antarctica with there being no ranked matchmaking or enough players for other game modes in India or Dubai servers.
Edit: Never mind At 1:12: typically ping is a round trip measurement. Unless the menu happens to be one-way ping. There is no need to divide by 2. I did a quick test pinging Japan (round trip). And it pretty much matched with the ping listed for Japan, on the dota 2 menu. So I would conclude that the dota 2 menu's pings are round trip.
@@funkintonbeardo That's a good point. He actually said that very tired drivers had 150ms slower reaction time. Since he highlighted 300ms, I guess my brain heard "300ms slower reaction time".
Helpful tips .. If your going up against Strenght heroes get (urn of shadows) especially if your a support Going up against magical burst heroes such as skywrath mage or techies buy (infused raindrops) Most heroes have really strong passives such as PA which can be countered by silver edge break or viper break skill
PSA : Every pings/chat wheel are translated to the language player is using. So effectively you are communicating in their native language. This is one of the best feature in game.
cool video idea at first i didnt get warm with jenkings but with time i really appriciate the things you do for the community and like your style! good job
underrated comment, i didn't like jenkins, and now i really like jenkins and appreciate him as well. It was sometime before the animajor where i realized his videos were more than just meme material
#1 tip: always push lanes when possible, it provides you with more map control, knowledge, XP, and gold than just about anything else you could be doing, and if you die with your creepwave at or near the enemy tier 3 they're probably not going to push back hard enough to do any real damage before you respawn
While I'd argue you shouldn't ALWAYS push lanes when possible (cause sometimes you want that creep wave close to make it safer to farm it) another benefit of pushing it is that it probably makes it less likely for the enemies to come gank because one or two of them will say "nah wait, I wanna farm this wave" cause it will be closer and more tempting
@@wowomah6194 That's also my venomancer tactic. Spam wards in trees that enemies will come through to gank, you not only slow them but low ranks love farming them and letting their teammates die instead.
I started playing the game as rubick, learned everyone's spells through rubick, lost most of my games. I woulda told myself to keep playing him instead of trying the others, now I play him in all positions (except 1) into any matchup. I've unlocked the secrets of the universe, only wish i would of done it sooner so I could be even better.
No joke tho, i play him in 2/4/5 all the time. 5 does kinda suck, gotta make money by farming enemy offlaner. You can get to the point where the steals are natural, like you are casting a stolen ability whilst the next one is on the way. People make the mistake of only stealing ultimates, playing him into terrible matchups makes you realise how broken common abilities are.
they should just add a ping delay buffer(you can only see pings from this player with this delay 1 ping per minute etc if they are in the same aoe region i.e ping spamming)
They have a mute for speech and a mute for text. Why not just add a mute for pings? If someone abuses something then you turn it off and leave what comms they don't abuse. I suppose the mute pings button could also ask if you just want to debounce them like @Raylock suggests
1- Spam hero; yes, there is counter pick, but at same time, there is counter play, you can only learn to counter play by spaming 2- You can always win, You can always lose 3- Mute everyone, if ur team can see something, u can see it too, so learn to see map ur self 4- Playing support make u better carry, playing carry make u better support, thats why there is Non-Ranked game 5- Play turbo, games are short and fast, so u can see more combinations and more play styles in less time 6- Play in Peak hours; more player=more accurate matchmaking 7- Sync ur play speed with ur team, dont be faster then them, dont be slower then them, unless u r 100% sure u can 5vs1 the game, if u couldnt, dont blame ur team 8- KDA is just a number, u can be 1-10-5, but that one kill is THE WIN kill, u can be 10-2-12 BUT literally no impact 9- All heros can do any role if u r know what u doing, BUT its not mean u have to play all roles with any hero
The biggest tip if you really want to improve-watch replays of your games, especially the ones you lose. Try and understand what you could've done differently, improve your overall game awareness (when the enemy is making moves, when you can farm aggressively, when you need to make rotations, etc.). Most people are mechanically good, but their game awareness and shot-calling is garbage. A replay gives you that option to calmly review the game and understand what you could do better to improve your chances. I find Aui's advice the most impactful
Ive recently seen an video from another game where they interviewed a guy in the top 10 of most games played who was still very low rank (like herald in dota) and tried to find out how he can play thousands of games and not rank up. I recently discovered that there are similar cases in dota (the player with 4th most games played is herald) and would love to see you make a video doing the same. Would also perfectly fit your type of content.
@@cressdrg9562 Lol close, but no cigar. Some people just like doing dumb shit casually, not everyone wants to be a sweat. Playing with him would be more fun than with almost anyone else
@@cressdrg9562 Oofies, I said that where? You're not wrong though, literally anyone can be a bit better if they just try harder. It's not always easy, but even children understand this simple concept. How you managed to take that from what I said I have no idea, but I understand sometimes people struggle with reading and comprehension. Maybe ask your parent or guardian next time you don't understand a sentence and I'm sure they'll gladly help you out!
I'm a new player and I can vouch for most of those tips. Focusing on few heroes is the best one by far. Cavern Crawl made me switch a little but i had to get AT LEAST good to clear the hero from the board. Wish it stayed the whole year, not only for the BP duration.
You can play modes like turbo to learn the other heroes. The point isn't so much to be good at playing those heroes but to learn what those heroes can do, so that when you are faced with enemies using that hero you'd know how they are going to think. Personally I find ad to be a fun mode and also helpful with understanding hero abilities better, mainly because you get to see them as is without the preconception of how it synergises with the hero and the abilities it usually comes with. It helps you see abilities from a different perspective which could be useful in a normal game.
Tips from me(sry bad english) Try playing hero that can snowballing when got lvl 6. Example : Kunkka = x mark + skill q + ulti Mars = ulti + spear + skill w Tusk = Snowball + skill e + ulti + skill q (for more DMG). I dont recommend using this combo in legend or higher. You can save your snowball to save tou or teammates from incoming dmg or projectiles, instead you use this combo : Skill q(to block enemy movement to run) + run to him like a chad while using skill e + uppercut him like mike tyson with ulti Earth spirit : you can snowballing in lvl 2 in any lane just use your skill w and skill q (i recommend you pick skill e in lvl 4 for silence) Mirana. = Its bad for newbie to use mirana as pos 4 or your hero but this hero is good for learning enemy pattern or map awarness because you need these two to predict enemy next movement so you can connect your arrow Lion. = (Need partner to delete hero expect really low hp heroes like morp in full agi or hoodwink, etc) use spike + hex + ulti Pudge. = (Not recommended) this hero it's really situational, really good if all enemy melee, 100% win for me, this hero suck because you need to get close to enemies to deal dmg, its really depends on your hook skills and really bad at laning vs range heroes enemies (If you're not lose lane and got lvl 6 at 9 min as any pos you good) Chen. = Not recommend for newbies(this hero so good at early but bad at late, no combo just dominating lane and punishing enemies with slow debuff and skill from neutral creep+ fast pusher) Spirit breaker = i dont need to explain this baby hero, I HATE HIM Hoodwink. = nuker and escape heroes (this heroes depend on positioning,using fog mechanism) Use skill q + skill w + ult Dont mind the cs (cs for noobs better farming heroes), learn positioning, ganking and connecting spell can make you get to legend or ancient easily I hope this help you improving or learn something
hi jenkins if u ever watch this comment I want to give you a big thank you ... I followed each and every tips what you have given and I apply that in rank matches .. after followed your tips I gained 2000 mmr .... Thank you so much brother for your advices and keep it up ... love you brother again
I would honestly just suggest myself picking an offlane bounty hunter as soon as his shard got released. The shuriken toss nerf killed him as a position 3 on lane, since he could no longer burst enemies as fast as he would earlier, that means that his laning got way worse, and he really depends on it. I started spamming him 2 month before he got killed and got myself 6k mmr with ease, it was such a broken and fun hero to play, pity no one really noticed his power on a pro level of dota.
I played competitive LoL for a while and my coach used to tell us (for soloQ): "Apply the 40/40/20 rule: You'll win 40% of the games because of reasons*, you'll lose 40% of the game because of the same reasons*, and that 20% left is what you can do in each game to improve your % of winning that game." If you look at great soloQ players, and I'm sure this works for every competitive game, most of the high elo players have between 55-60% WR, which means they are so good that in most of the games they can change a 40% chance of winning into a 60% chance. That's what you gotta focus into, you don't need to do the 100% each game... just that 20%. That changed my perspective quite a lot and helped me to improve not only my games, but my mental too. *reasons = your teammates play nicely, the enemy team sucks, you're in good shape and do well, etc... or viceversa.
Another advice: don't tilt during the game. If the game is hard you should try more, not less. This will actually make you suffer a lot, but it also will increase your win rate by a lot. And also if you follow this advice don't start the game if you are tilted or not ready to try your best if the next game will be a losing one from the laning stage. Also do not argue with your teammates, ask them something or mute them for 10+ mins if you are angry at someone. Do not write to all chat, never do that. Your teammates morale is the most valuable resource when you are losing, if you cannot help them keep it up, do not make everything worse. And do your best until the end.
I tilt when my trash dog teammates blame me for no reason even though they suck, same for enemies, it's easier said than done to not argue with them. I'm from sea.
Dude, I'm only 28 but I used to play DOTA when it was just a mod for Warcraft 3 along with the DOZENS of other fun mod games we'd all play and the idea of "it's unwinnable" or "it's already gg" is just hilarious to me because even all those years ago back in like 2006 or whatever, there would CONSTANTLY be games where someone thought "it's in the bag" and then someone would eff up or a team would change their strategy up and then win it. The reality is just that many people aren't being actually strategic nor tactical and don't thinking on the go, they rely to much on "this is the meta" and "this is what this hero has to do" and "this is what I must buy and cannot deviate for my build" and so on and so they have this sense that the game is like chess. To the contrary, DOTA heroes aren't like chess pieces because they can morph, change, etc based on HOW you play and what you buy. Thus, too many people see a Queen about to checkmate their King when in reality, that Queen could just be a Crystal Maiden getting Nyxed to death by Vendetta. In other words, people just need to be more creative and more risk-loving and TRY stuff and practice it. Picks are indeed very important and so are what you buy, but none of that has to be set in stone. I've seen KOTL players go 35 and 1 kdr Mid and I've seen other heroes ppl would never assume could carry or kick ass with but the reality is, and this one is important: Sometimes your BEST advantage is in using PRECISELY what the enemy will never see coming. If you can play in a way that is unpredictable, never seen before, or generally unknown, it will be harder for others to counter it if it's a good idea because so many people play the game so cookie-cutter. Here's another good example: try taking a hero that ISN'T thought of as an offlane or a tank but who has an ability or two that provide an escape, a stun, and or some other sort of disable and turn that hero into a BEEFCAKE tank offlaner and it will like throw off the enemy team big time if you're good enough with that hero. Just TRY STUFF, INVENT new METAs. The Meta can be changed at will if you simply find ways to outsmart your opposition. The Art of Surprise is part of the "META" that no one talks about. Do shit no one expects.
The 1 advice i want to give my past self was it just doesn't necessarily apply in dota it applies basically online and irl is "To have fun my aim was to escape and relax and getting to invested and raging is the opposite of that so try to make light of it"
I started out with extreme tunnel vision, scared of my every move. Needless to say I ranked herald. Quit for 2 years. Came back and played a game with zero ducks, and it was amazing. Spamming ember and puck now, the heroes I thought I'd never play.
MMR is extremely volatile(especially for support players). Core players most often have inflated MMR. You will gain more MMR from strict solo queue as random people on average play better together than 2 parties of 2 and 1 solo player doing different things, for example.
@@ericpoblete6011 ahaha I literally got boosted by my fiance bc he wanted to play with me. he and his friends are crusader, legendand god knows what. Im a herold. It matches us with guardians, sometimes a crusader. Of course well win, Im good enoigh to know how to not feed on lane so they just auto win. not intentional boosting, I just wanna play with my boy okay although it may be irritating for the enemy when they see 2 legends and a herold in Party lol
My advice to myself as a support player would be: Learn even more obscure ward spots making it harder for the enemy to deward and learn ward ranges as well. Avoid cliff spots and try and put wards near high ground entrances to avoid the common dewarding spots.
shiiiiiiiiiittt, amount of memes and jokes per second in this video is insane! dude this is one of the coolest video i saw from @Jenkins (and i've seen ALL!) *UPD:* never give up, indeed! yesterday i've played turbo, and the guy in the enemy team rage quit, his/her name was "never give up" :D was hilarious. and we were like 26-28 or whatever p.s.: ofc i hadn't seen all of your videos, but still a lot
I would say- when someone starts being toxic and just shitting on you or someone else, mute em, but don't mute everyone, there is often the case that, you can't communicate your aim any other way, and having a player from get-go incapable of hearing that, can and will lead to being team wiped specifically in brackets where you consistently need to remind people to stop the long chases across rivers or charging in a team fight in no vision zone, when the enemy has killed 1 of your team without spending any serious cooldowns, into disadvantageous 4vs5 fights (when your the team that is at network disadvantage). Pings are great but god damn too often thy got ignored or not quit as understandable if someone has to mute everyone, from the get-go, they are either on SEA servers or their problem might be in them
My Dota wisdom that I accumulated over what's now for me basically a lifetime of experience is the following. 1. Mental state, emotional/analytical intelligence and experience are the most important factors to determine your skill level in Dota. You need to try and work on all of them to have success in the long run. 2. For some reason, may be due to its complex and competitive nature, Dota has immense impact on a player's ego. Hence the reason for all the toxicity in the community. Learn to keep your ego in check. If you feel like a God tier omnipotent super artificial intelligence mistake proof supreme being of a Dota player... - Chances are, you suck! Or even if you don't, your ego is in the way of progress. 3. Accept the fact that as a legacy game, players' perception of Dota will be vastly different even among the same mmr brackets. Hence, be open to criticism even if you don't seem to understand it. And respectively be more forgiving towards your team mates if you are the veteran player. You can't force a baby to start running before it has learned how to walk. 4. Don't go into your games with mmr in mind, like at all. Just delete that concept from your mind entirely. MMR is an illusion. It doesn't matter. You will play 6k level games at the 3k bracket and 3k level games at the 6k bracket. The quality of each individual game of Dota is extremely volatile and pretty much random at any given bracket, with just the base level being higher progressively. 4,5. Go into the games with the motivation to get better and to enjoy the game, regardless of the end result. Too many things involved in a Dota game are outside of your control to be hung on winning and numbers. You may be surprised to find that the less you chase the numbers and wins, the easier they come to you. If there wasn't other useful stats on the same page I wouldn't even know what my exact mmr is right now. 5. Don't play too much Dota! Jenkins has touched this in the past, but basically overdosing on Dota will inevitably impact your life and your gameplay negatively over a longer period of time. I used to play some pretty much 'pro level' amount of games daily. Averaging like 12 games almost every day. You just cannot avoid tilt when you play that much. The human nervous system has its limits and overloading it like this leads to the short circuits sooner or later. Ever since I started playing super casually 2-3 games a day and not every day, I really don't tilt like ever. I get a bit frustrated with griefers sometimes, but mostly I wouldn't even get mad. (Only if tired or hungry basically) 6. Take breaks from the game. Like legitimate breaks lasting anywhere from a few days to a week to even a few months may be. I am not exactly sure whats the science behind it, has gotta be something psychological again, but stepping away for certain time periods every now and then will improve your skills in the long run. Now is a good chance for this with the release of Lost Ark. The game is amazing if you are into the genre! Free release is tommorow on the 11th. 7. Watch BSJ. That's it from me folks! Good luck, have fun! And remember to... 'Git gut scrubz' --hehe.
The mute button is incredible. I cant express how many times I muted people and turned the game alone (as offlaner) while taking over to carry the team instead of the main carry. In 9/10 times mute button is worth it and works.
amazing ping system. take time to configure your chat wheel as well. been playing for like a decade now and never use mic. before it was typing "b" or "g" but now it is way faster to give a signal.
i dont even need to watch the video .. dunno if any1 will agree but for me its minimap awareness if u can constantly keep watch and understand where ur team and opponent team is then u ll slowly get in their mind and understand where they ll be even when u dont see them so u ll be able to gang them or other targeets that are far or split the map as u wish or or or u get the concept anyway maybe thats just me but i almost always watch the mini map and can think where they are going to place a ward or to hit a camp among others..
Learn to use skills and items preemptively. As in: you have a blink and a bkb. A fight starts and you need to blink in. You expect to blink then bkb but get stunned immediately. Same for stuff like glimmer cape, pipe and crimson.
I'd say take the lidership role and try to communicate and give positive feedback where it's due. Tell everyone to relax and that their doing fine and if the enemy tram starts flaming their own team, you help them flame more the enemy team to cause discord amongst the enemy. While motivating yours. It's a team game after all
That advice from seleri is true. I played earth spirit for my cavern crawl in turbo and lose many times. But im becoming better as i learned more about him. Now i like playing earth spirit
im spamming Earth spirit too recently but cost me -200MMR. Still no regret because ES was a fun hero to play. 1 thing i recognise that playing ES need good communication with teammates, so spamming ES on lower bracket is not good decision
Cour can use smokes. And YOU NEED to use it from cour. Not from your slots. This is personal 9 slot for smokes. You can smoke evrywere you want it. Even if you die. You can save your teammates from sniper, zeus, tinker, gyro, and many more just if you want to use cour.
9 hours sleep, inner game of tennis, and eat twice no sugar permanently or nutrient pills, drugs or anything related, fruits are allowed but now more than 2 if they something like banana, also always eat sharply on time.
I was just casually watching your videos then out of nowhere I saw my name pop up, I fangirl’d so hard. Lmao anyway enjoyed the breakdown about the patterns that’s the one thing I want to learn more about dota.
Learn 5 heroes(practice bots, then into unranked, be good with the mechanics) I climbed from 1.4k-3.2k mmr(I'm mostly a hard support player here and there if a get the chance max offlane carry role I get) channels worth watching are Jenkins,purge,gameleap,elwono(main) and bsj(there are many more you tube channels out there that provide gameplays worth watching) I just like the best of 3 game rule(speeds rule 😅😂 worked wonders)
@@asd-dr9cf you play 3 ranked games, if you win one and lose another only then you play the 3rd game, but if you lose/win 2 games of 3 then you play unranked or do other stuff that way you don't rage and the previous 2 loses don't affect your next game(PMA)
versatility on different heroes are always very important, even if you don't know how to play atleast you'll be able to know how to fight against them.
This is anedoctal thing but anyway, if you are in doubt whetever to mute someone or not heres one trait that i havent been proven wrong so far: if someone in your team says something along lines "i hope you can play x" "i hope you can play x well" or something very similar in hero picking screen its 100% someone who will flame you or your team at some point
My advice to my past self: Devote yourself in learning the art of supporting early on, fits you much better than being a carry or an offlaner. It's also more entertaining and you can have a slave/pokemon in late game that you can manipulate to win the game.
This. I realized I do not have enough time for playing many heroes well, and I don't have the patience to farm/last hit. Supporting, doe, comes naturally, and is more fun (it also works well with other tactical/strategic games that I prefer playing). Doesn't matter what heroes are meta/countering you if they fail to remove your wards.And eventually, you get to a rank where pinging smoke makes the team go where you want them to.
I don't mute all because I want to keep the comunication on, but just the moment somebody get's toxic I never hesitate to mute (unless they are funny because this sometimes actually makes me play better)
If you play in SEA server and you are in low MMR like archon below the best time to play rank is in at night where there's a higher chance you can get to play with mature players, yes I mean mature players not kids, even in just pub match like All pick you can get to que with players who does auto support at night and it really feels good compare to morning where there's a lot of lowbies (newly made accounts then kids).
Do you have any advice on how to learn heroes? There are many heroes I really want to learn and improve with but in SoloQ, I just can't...I can't even play my fav role in SoloQ because I'm too afraid. Is learning a hero in normal matches possible or do you just test the hero in demo mode until you get used to him/her?
Actually about muting everyone and spamming one hero i just recently started doing it it is actually so true im just a 2k mmr player but it did help a lot in fact i went from Guardian 4stars to Archon 1star now and im still improving
The one hero advice is really great, I must say. Same can be applicable to any MOBA actually. And well, night gaming is not good for health in general. Thanks for the video!
Shower at least once a day Touch some grass Use deodorant Always all chat “ez game ez mid” when you are pushing enemy’s ancient Take as much space and farm as available no matter your position especially when solo queuing every pub that is less 8k average Pause and all chat “?” after getting solo frag on enemy mid or carry Buy midas on every hero Combine Midas with philosopher stone Drop mantles of intelligence and urns of shadows near enemy’s fountain when pushing their ancient Report every tinker you see Pick extremely greedy heroes on any position Never help your teammates if that means you’re losing some gold Tip teammates and enemies when they make a mistake I followed these rules and my win rate is 59% over 2k matches
Watch more BSJ... No joke, my Carry game has been revolutionised since starting to watch his stream and coaching sessions regularly. I went from a good Carry game being 550 GPM, to a good Carry game now being 750+, with my average being 625+. I'm winning more, and doing more in games, dying less and generally actually doing my job as carry to win the game for the team because I actually Know how to get items faster than the enemy now, and I know how to itemise for both the game I'm in and the strengths of the hero in the current meta as well. This is also helping me to be a better Support and Offlaner as well, since I know how to analyse the map better now, how to move around it, and how to farm around my carry so that I'm not griefing them by fucking up their farming pattern or letting them get jumped because I'm not creating space.
Muting all enemies is a good thing to do. You don't need to spend your time on toxic people, just focus on game and that'll give you higher chance of winning.
Tip 1 : dont play pudge , if you play atleast 1 game , you somehow fall inlove with him , its not that bad as a hero but its hard for ur summary conduct. Tip 2 : tell ur carry he can buy observers , now they are free ( from 2 years ago , they dont know yet but make sure to) Tip 3: If ur carry is want to pick Am and ure under 7k mmr > Tell him if he pick Am you go mid amulet. Tip 4:Never , but never argue with ur carry , hey gonna farm 30 min for nothing then tilt cause u tell him his bad. Tip 6: Try to always use smokes when u want to gank enemy jungle ( it will make people actually do something in a game , not playing PVE) Tip 7:where is tip 5 Tip 8 :why you look back to see if tip 5 isnt there? Tip 9:Why are you laughing? Im serious about 1-6. Tip 10 : Wanna get mmr? Get a couch and play only Ta/od mid. ( SB and weaver current meta).

Treat your teammates like your best and only friends.
I cant count the number of games I won where my team has given up, or I have given up, and I, or a teammate, kepts insisting that we can do it, suggested actions, guided, encouraged, pointed out what we did well together with what we did badly, celebrated our victories, and didnt give up on the team during our failuers.
Dota is a team game.
Its at its core, a social game.
And its teamwork that wins dota.
SHHH don't tell everyone
@@sesshonuyasha why not?
golden advice, if only a mere fraction of the community were good enough people to follow this ideology
I do this when it's like my 2nd game during my grinding mindset. I was once called out for being "toO niCe tO pLaY cArRy" by my tilted teammate but stalling a 20 min hg loss to a 50 min game through PMA and focus alone makes me feel like a Sigma gigachad
Wise words. Even if say, your teammates don't end up listening to you and you still lose the game, you can be satisfied with the result regardless, since you know you tried your very best.
If I had a tip suggestion, it'll be something like "pick heroes that stun" a team with stun heroes feel much more useful than a team with no-stuns.
Ahaha no way ... That's exactly what I beg for in my team no matter what role I play I ask support pick stuns pls. Even when I am one of the supports, first thibg I type in draft phase after banns is Hello team and 2nd is "Supports please pick stuns" even tho I am one of the supports. I am getting truley mad when I pick an offlaner such as Necro or Doom that are currentley very decent in meta and I first phase them ask supports for stuns and then get Aa pos5 and Veno pos 4 and I go wild in my mind. So I can deffinitly feel u brother and the pain when u have lineup with 1 stun and it is not even a reliable stun but some sort of aoe stun or skillshot that u can mess up and enemys have some of these :AM, Qop, Puck, Storm or whatever mobile and escapr hero hahaa. Literally feels unwinable since draft
Baumi, "Magic missile-like abilities are the strongest abilities in dota 2"
@Ivan Alejandro Garcia Hernandez at least even the poorest pos 5 but if the hero has the stun it will make the enemy buy bkb or euls and etc which is make them need time and space for farming and your team can smoke gank that farmer enemy carry
1 sec stun feels like an eternity.

DotA advice from someone who plays dota since 2005:
Play only if it makes you feel better. If after a game you feel less good than before then it is time to stop.
so 1 game a day?
It's like sex...if you aren't hard enough then don't try to push the rope =P. Call it a night or try a different game.
its 10 years late for me my greek dude
one game per day ?
@@redark5704 Didn't play for two years. Every game I don't play makes me feel better.
It's so cool seeing all of these tips and clips of The Dota 2 Reporter. I feel like Wronchi had a good series that actually kinda teaches you a little bit with memes.
My biggest regret in early DotA days was letting my friends push me into roles I didn't enjoy. I love playing Mid and Offlane or Support (Pos 4), but since I played with a bunch of egotists, I was forced to Hard Support and my pos 4 would play as a 4th core...
Biggest regret.
oh no the tragedy
My friend push out of the game lol
Simple solution DONT HAVE FRIENDS THAT PLAY DOTA only friends from less toxic games. SOLO QUE FOR THE WIN XD got me to divine 2 with solo que no party invite no add friendlist
If someone like me can get calibrated to ancient and climb to divine only on solo que im pretty sure u can aswell and thats not the worst part Im playing on SEA if ur in NA, or any other region chances are you wont get qued to people WITH NO MICROPHONE ! In sea I kid u not almost 90% of the player base have no mic XD imagine typing commands and telling ur team their being ganked at the moment and amount of "TP TP TP TP" spamming in chat is immeasurable
Friends? Buddy you were being used 😂👌
I would say to myself...
Dota is just a game... I need to continue on my studies/work
Its ok if my rank is low but my journey in reality is good
haha so true, i had to uninstall this game because i was playing too much
It's great and all to perform at peak efficiency...but my ping in SEA is still like I'm playing from Antarctica with there being no ranked matchmaking or enough players for other game modes in India or Dubai servers.
You're probably from village like northeast india? Like mizoram?
pldt.
play mobile legends, better than dota 2
Yeah, must be pretty hard. My friend is from the northeast and his ping is 130ms+
What’s your ping to Australia
Edit: Never mind
At 1:12: typically ping is a round trip measurement. Unless the menu happens to be one-way ping. There is no need to divide by 2.
I did a quick test pinging Japan (round trip).
And it pretty much matched with the ping listed for Japan, on the dota 2 menu.
So I would conclude that the dota 2 menu's pings are round trip.
I think he only added 150 because normal human reaction is 150 ms so being tired just adds 150 on top of that.
@@funkintonbeardo That's a good point. He actually said that very tired drivers had 150ms slower reaction time.
Since he highlighted 300ms, I guess my brain heard "300ms slower reaction time".
Helpful tips ..
If your going up against Strenght heroes get (urn of shadows) especially if your a support
Going up against magical burst heroes such as skywrath mage or techies buy (infused raindrops)
Most heroes have really strong passives such as PA which can be countered by silver edge break or viper break skill
skip the silver edge, just get a force staff
PSA : Every pings/chat wheel are translated to the language player is using. So effectively you are communicating in their native language. This is one of the best feature in game.

"Never leave lane as 5"
-Gorgc
#1 tip: always push lanes when possible, it provides you with more map control, knowledge, XP, and gold than just about anything else you could be doing, and if you die with your creepwave at or near the enemy tier 3 they're probably not going to push back hard enough to do any real damage before you respawn
While I'd argue you shouldn't ALWAYS push lanes when possible (cause sometimes you want that creep wave close to make it safer to farm it) another benefit of pushing it is that it probably makes it less likely for the enemies to come gank because one or two of them will say "nah wait, I wanna farm this wave" cause it will be closer and more tempting
@@wowomah6194 That's also my venomancer tactic. Spam wards in trees that enemies will come through to gank, you not only slow them but low ranks love farming them and letting their teammates die instead.
I started playing the game as rubick, learned everyone's spells through rubick, lost most of my games. I woulda told myself to keep playing him instead of trying the others, now I play him in all positions (except 1) into any matchup. I've unlocked the secrets of the universe, only wish i would of done it sooner so I could be even better.
You had me up to the secrets of the universe 😅
Offlane rubick by a master tier rubick is a menace and I will stand by my word on this
No joke tho, i play him in 2/4/5 all the time. 5 does kinda suck, gotta make money by farming enemy offlaner. You can get to the point where the steals are natural, like you are casting a stolen ability whilst the next one is on the way. People make the mistake of only stealing ultimates, playing him into terrible matchups makes you realise how broken common abilities are.
I want rubick on the dota anime!
@@bondedomao amen to that
6:45 if you mute someone you can still see their pings but for some reason it mutes the ping noise so it is easy to miss them
they should just add a ping delay buffer(you can only see pings from this player with this delay 1 ping per minute etc if they are in the same aoe region i.e ping spamming)
@@Raylock valve hire this guy
They have a mute for speech and a mute for text. Why not just add a mute for pings?
If someone abuses something then you turn it off and leave what comms they don't abuse. I suppose the mute pings button could also ask if you just want to debounce them like @Raylock suggests
@@kaosdlanor8091 that gives leeway for a complete mute which I think dota already does through block player or something
@@Raylock I wanna be able to block voice and pings but leave text or whatever
1- Spam hero; yes, there is counter pick, but at same time, there is counter play, you can only learn to counter play by spaming
2- You can always win, You can always lose
3- Mute everyone, if ur team can see something, u can see it too, so learn to see map ur self
4- Playing support make u better carry, playing carry make u better support, thats why there is Non-Ranked game
5- Play turbo, games are short and fast, so u can see more combinations and more play styles in less time
6- Play in Peak hours; more player=more accurate matchmaking
7- Sync ur play speed with ur team, dont be faster then them, dont be slower then them, unless u r 100% sure u can 5vs1 the game, if u couldnt, dont blame ur team
8- KDA is just a number, u can be 1-10-5, but that one kill is THE WIN kill, u can be 10-2-12 BUT literally no impact
9- All heros can do any role if u r know what u doing, BUT its not mean u have to play all roles with any hero
The biggest tip if you really want to improve-watch replays of your games, especially the ones you lose. Try and understand what you could've done differently, improve your overall game awareness (when the enemy is making moves, when you can farm aggressively, when you need to make rotations, etc.). Most people are mechanically good, but their game awareness and shot-calling is garbage. A replay gives you that option to calmly review the game and understand what you could do better to improve your chances. I find Aui's advice the most impactful
Ive recently seen an video from another game where they interviewed a guy in the top 10 of most games played who was still very low rank (like herald in dota) and tried to find out how he can play thousands of games and not rank up. I recently discovered that there are similar cases in dota (the player with 4th most games played is herald) and would love to see you make a video doing the same. Would also perfectly fit your type of content.
Isn't it obvious? Not everyone is built equally, there are people that will be absolute dogshit at something no matter how hard they try.

@@cressdrg9562 well not everyone is a tryhard like you, some are just playing it as a game
I'm a new player and I can vouch for most of those tips. Focusing on few heroes is the best one by far. Cavern Crawl made me switch a little but i had to get AT LEAST good to clear the hero from the board. Wish it stayed the whole year, not only for the BP duration.
You can play modes like turbo to learn the other heroes. The point isn't so much to be good at playing those heroes but to learn what those heroes can do, so that when you are faced with enemies using that hero you'd know how they are going to think.
Personally I find ad to be a fun mode and also helpful with understanding hero abilities better, mainly because you get to see them as is without the preconception of how it synergises with the hero and the abilities it usually comes with. It helps you see abilities from a different perspective which could be useful in a normal game.
Tips from me(sry bad english)
Try playing hero that can snowballing when got lvl 6. Example :
Kunkka = x mark + skill q + ulti
Mars = ulti + spear + skill w
Tusk = Snowball + skill e + ulti + skill q (for more DMG). I dont recommend using this combo in legend or higher. You can save your snowball to save tou or teammates from incoming dmg or projectiles, instead you use this combo :
Skill q(to block enemy movement to run) + run to him like a chad while using skill e + uppercut him like mike tyson with ulti
Earth spirit : you can snowballing in lvl 2 in any lane just use your skill w and skill q (i recommend you pick skill e in lvl 4 for silence)
Mirana. = Its bad for newbie to use mirana as pos 4 or your hero but this hero is good for learning enemy pattern or map awarness because you need these two to predict enemy next movement so you can connect your arrow
Lion. = (Need partner to delete hero expect really low hp heroes like morp in full agi or hoodwink, etc) use spike + hex + ulti
Pudge. = (Not recommended) this hero it's really situational, really good if all enemy melee, 100% win for me, this hero suck because you need to get close to enemies to deal dmg, its really depends on your hook skills and really bad at laning vs range heroes enemies
(If you're not lose lane and got lvl 6 at 9 min as any pos you good)
Chen. = Not recommend for newbies(this hero so good at early but bad at late, no combo just dominating lane and punishing enemies with slow debuff and skill from neutral creep+ fast pusher)
Spirit breaker = i dont need to explain this baby hero, I HATE HIM
Hoodwink. = nuker and escape heroes (this heroes depend on positioning,using fog mechanism)
Use skill q + skill w + ult
Dont mind the cs (cs for noobs better farming heroes), learn positioning, ganking and connecting spell can make you get to legend or ancient easily
I hope this help you improving or learn something

Jenkins: don't blame your team, don't blame RNG!
Bulldog: WRONG!
hi jenkins if u ever watch this comment I want to give you a big thank you ... I followed each and every tips what you have given and I apply that in rank matches .. after followed your tips I gained 2000 mmr .... Thank you so much brother for your advices and keep it up ... love you brother again
This had me laughing tears while "working". Jenkins, you're awesome.
sooo well made Jenkins!! Amazing video thanks!
My best advice has always legit been to watch Jenkins.
I would honestly just suggest myself picking an offlane bounty hunter as soon as his shard got released. The shuriken toss nerf killed him as a position 3 on lane, since he could no longer burst enemies as fast as he would earlier, that means that his laning got way worse, and he really depends on it. I started spamming him 2 month before he got killed and got myself 6k mmr with ease, it was such a broken and fun hero to play, pity no one really noticed his power on a pro level of dota.
Hi Jenkins! Love your content. Thanks bye.
I played competitive LoL for a while and my coach used to tell us (for soloQ): "Apply the 40/40/20 rule: You'll win 40% of the games because of reasons*, you'll lose 40% of the game because of the same reasons*, and that 20% left is what you can do in each game to improve your % of winning that game."
If you look at great soloQ players, and I'm sure this works for every competitive game, most of the high elo players have between 55-60% WR, which means they are so good that in most of the games they can change a 40% chance of winning into a 60% chance. That's what you gotta focus into, you don't need to do the 100% each game... just that 20%. That changed my perspective quite a lot and helped me to improve not only my games, but my mental too.
*reasons = your teammates play nicely, the enemy team sucks, you're in good shape and do well, etc... or viceversa.
ITEM CHOICES AND TIMINGS ARE ACTUALLY IMPORTANT PLEASE BELIEVE ME
Another advice: don't tilt during the game. If the game is hard you should try more, not less. This will actually make you suffer a lot, but it also will increase your win rate by a lot. And also if you follow this advice don't start the game if you are tilted or not ready to try your best if the next game will be a losing one from the laning stage.
Also do not argue with your teammates, ask them something or mute them for 10+ mins if you are angry at someone. Do not write to all chat, never do that. Your teammates morale is the most valuable resource when you are losing, if you cannot help them keep it up, do not make everything worse. And do your best until the end.
I tilt when my trash dog teammates blame me for no reason even though they suck, same for enemies, it's easier said than done to not argue with them. I'm from sea.
Then mute all, it's in the video.
Dude, I'm only 28 but I used to play DOTA when it was just a mod for Warcraft 3 along with the DOZENS of other fun mod games we'd all play and the idea of "it's unwinnable" or "it's already gg" is just hilarious to me because even all those years ago back in like 2006 or whatever, there would CONSTANTLY be games where someone thought "it's in the bag" and then someone would eff up or a team would change their strategy up and then win it. The reality is just that many people aren't being actually strategic nor tactical and don't thinking on the go, they rely to much on "this is the meta" and "this is what this hero has to do" and "this is what I must buy and cannot deviate for my build" and so on and so they have this sense that the game is like chess. To the contrary, DOTA heroes aren't like chess pieces because they can morph, change, etc based on HOW you play and what you buy. Thus, too many people see a Queen about to checkmate their King when in reality, that Queen could just be a Crystal Maiden getting Nyxed to death by Vendetta. In other words, people just need to be more creative and more risk-loving and TRY stuff and practice it. Picks are indeed very important and so are what you buy, but none of that has to be set in stone. I've seen KOTL players go 35 and 1 kdr Mid and I've seen other heroes ppl would never assume could carry or kick ass with but the reality is, and this one is important: Sometimes your BEST advantage is in using PRECISELY what the enemy will never see coming. If you can play in a way that is unpredictable, never seen before, or generally unknown, it will be harder for others to counter it if it's a good idea because so many people play the game so cookie-cutter. Here's another good example: try taking a hero that ISN'T thought of as an offlane or a tank but who has an ability or two that provide an escape, a stun, and or some other sort of disable and turn that hero into a BEEFCAKE tank offlaner and it will like throw off the enemy team big time if you're good enough with that hero. Just TRY STUFF, INVENT new METAs. The Meta can be changed at will if you simply find ways to outsmart your opposition. The Art of Surprise is part of the "META" that no one talks about. Do shit no one expects.
Thanks for the tip with 20 spams on one hero, i've lost 17 games on invoker and i liked it
The 1 advice i want to give my past self was it just doesn't necessarily apply in dota it applies basically online and irl is "To have fun my aim was to escape and relax and getting to invested and raging is the opposite of that so try to make light of it"
As a Techies Spammer I enjoy playing past midnight because
1.) Sea Server
2.) Everyone is get tilted twice as fast.
calm down there satan
Been relearning dota and your videos are really good. Keep it up
Dotacomedy is REAL comedy and Jenkins bringin' the heat
I started out with extreme tunnel vision, scared of my every move. Needless to say I ranked herald. Quit for 2 years. Came back and played a game with zero ducks, and it was amazing. Spamming ember and puck now, the heroes I thought I'd never play.
MMR is extremely volatile(especially for support players). Core players most often have inflated MMR. You will gain more MMR from strict solo queue as random people on average play better together than 2 parties of 2 and 1 solo player doing different things, for example.
i hope they put back the solo mmr and party mmr systems because some people got boosted by their friends.
Ok support player
This is the exact opposite of my experience. My mmr went down 2.5k after my friends quit dota.
@@ericpoblete6011 ahaha I literally got boosted by my fiance bc he wanted to play with me. he and his friends are crusader, legendand god knows what.
Im a herold. It matches us with guardians, sometimes a crusader. Of course well win, Im good enoigh to know how to not feed on lane so they just auto win. not intentional boosting, I just wanna play with my boy okay although it may be irritating for the enemy when they see 2 legends and a herold in Party lol
why would core players have inflated mmr?
7:00 actually since a few patches ago, if you mute a persons voice, you also mute their pings.
i hope the revert that change soon.
My advice to myself as a support player would be: Learn even more obscure ward spots making it harder for the enemy to deward and learn ward ranges as well. Avoid cliff spots and try and put wards near high ground entrances to avoid the common dewarding spots.
Can i have you in my games plz
shiiiiiiiiiittt, amount of memes and jokes per second in this video is insane! dude this is one of the coolest video i saw from @Jenkins (and i've seen ALL!)
*UPD:* never give up, indeed! yesterday i've played turbo, and the guy in the enemy team rage quit, his/her name was "never give up" :D was hilarious. and we were like 26-28 or whatever
p.s.: ofc i hadn't seen all of your videos, but still a lot
I would say- when someone starts being toxic and just shitting on you or someone else, mute em, but don't mute everyone, there is often the case that, you can't communicate your aim any other way, and having a player from get-go incapable of hearing that, can and will lead to being team wiped
specifically in brackets where you consistently need to remind people to stop the long chases across rivers or charging in a team fight in no vision zone, when the enemy has killed 1 of your team without spending any serious cooldowns, into disadvantageous 4vs5 fights (when your the team that is at network disadvantage). Pings are great but god damn too often thy got ignored or not quit as understandable
if someone has to mute everyone, from the get-go, they are either on SEA servers or their problem might be in them
Jenkins: Spam one hero per 20 games
Me: Muh versatility
My Dota wisdom that I accumulated over what's now for me basically a lifetime of experience is the following.
1. Mental state, emotional/analytical intelligence and experience are the most important factors to determine your skill level in Dota. You need to try and work on all of them to have success in the long run.
2. For some reason, may be due to its complex and competitive nature, Dota has immense impact on a player's ego. Hence the reason for all the toxicity in the community. Learn to keep your ego in check. If you feel like a God tier omnipotent super artificial intelligence mistake proof supreme being of a Dota player... - Chances are, you suck! Or even if you don't, your ego is in the way of progress.
3. Accept the fact that as a legacy game, players' perception of Dota will be vastly different even among the same mmr brackets. Hence, be open to criticism even if you don't seem to understand it. And respectively be more forgiving towards your team mates if you are the veteran player. You can't force a baby to start running before it has learned how to walk.
4. Don't go into your games with mmr in mind, like at all. Just delete that concept from your mind entirely. MMR is an illusion. It doesn't matter. You will play 6k level games at the 3k bracket and 3k level games at the 6k bracket. The quality of each individual game of Dota is extremely volatile and pretty much random at any given bracket, with just the base level being higher progressively.
4,5. Go into the games with the motivation to get better and to enjoy the game, regardless of the end result. Too many things involved in a Dota game are outside of your control to be hung on winning and numbers. You may be surprised to find that the less you chase the numbers and wins, the easier they come to you. If there wasn't other useful stats on the same page I wouldn't even know what my exact mmr is right now.
5. Don't play too much Dota! Jenkins has touched this in the past, but basically overdosing on Dota will inevitably impact your life and your gameplay negatively over a longer period of time. I used to play some pretty much 'pro level' amount of games daily. Averaging like 12 games almost every day. You just cannot avoid tilt when you play that much. The human nervous system has its limits and overloading it like this leads to the short circuits sooner or later. Ever since I started playing super casually 2-3 games a day and not every day, I really don't tilt like ever. I get a bit frustrated with griefers sometimes, but mostly I wouldn't even get mad. (Only if tired or hungry basically)
6. Take breaks from the game. Like legitimate breaks lasting anywhere from a few days to a week to even a few months may be. I am not exactly sure whats the science behind it, has gotta be something psychological again, but stepping away for certain time periods every now and then will improve your skills in the long run. Now is a good chance for this with the release of Lost Ark. The game is amazing if you are into the genre! Free release is tommorow on the 11th.
7. Watch BSJ.
That's it from me folks!
Good luck, have fun! And remember to...
'Git gut scrubz' --hehe.
The mute button is incredible. I cant express how many times I muted people and turned the game alone (as offlaner) while taking over to carry the team instead of the main carry. In 9/10 times mute button is worth it and works.
fun vid from Jenkins. we need more dota content like this
amazing ping system. take time to configure your chat wheel as well. been playing for like a decade now and never use mic. before it was typing "b" or "g" but now it is way faster to give a signal.
Very good content jenkins , ty
Every Word in this 8 minute is usefull 100 percent thanks a lot really appreaciate it
"They're probably coming for me. I should back." - what you tell yourself 2 seconds before you don't back and they kill you.
i dont even need to watch the video .. dunno if any1 will agree but for me its minimap awareness if u can constantly keep watch and understand where ur team and opponent team is then u ll slowly get in their mind and understand where they ll be even when u dont see them so u ll be able to gang them or other targeets that are far or split the map as u wish or or or u get the concept anyway maybe thats just me but i almost always watch the mini map and can think where they are going to place a ward or to hit a camp among others..
Learn to use skills and items preemptively.
As in: you have a blink and a bkb. A fight starts and you need to blink in. You expect to blink then bkb but get stunned immediately. Same for stuff like glimmer cape, pipe and crimson.
I'd say take the lidership role and try to communicate and give positive feedback where it's due. Tell everyone to relax and that their doing fine and if the enemy tram starts flaming their own team, you help them flame more the enemy team to cause discord amongst the enemy. While motivating yours. It's a team game after all
That advice from seleri is true. I played earth spirit for my cavern crawl in turbo and lose many times. But im becoming better as i learned more about him. Now i like playing earth spirit
im spamming Earth spirit too recently but cost me -200MMR. Still no regret because ES was a fun hero to play. 1 thing i recognise that playing ES need good communication with teammates, so spamming ES on lower bracket is not good decision
@@tiramisuoais9302 ikr. playing him is so fun especially when u become better and made some plays

Cour can use smokes. And YOU NEED to use it from cour. Not from your slots. This is personal 9 slot for smokes. You can smoke evrywere you want it. Even if you die. You can save your teammates from sniper, zeus, tinker, gyro, and many more just if you want to use cour.
9 hours sleep, inner game of tennis, and eat twice no sugar permanently or nutrient pills, drugs or anything related, fruits are allowed but now more than 2 if they something like banana, also always eat sharply on time.

Yo, I made it into a Jenkins video! Major poggers. Just eat yuor beans, guys!
Learn 5 heroes(practice bots, then into unranked, be good with the mechanics) I climbed from 1.4k-3.2k mmr(I'm mostly a hard support player here and there if a get the chance max offlane carry role I get) channels worth watching are Jenkins,purge,gameleap,elwono(main) and bsj(there are many more you tube channels out there that provide gameplays worth watching) I just like the best of 3 game rule(speeds rule 😅😂 worked wonders)
Whats the 'best of 3' rule?
@@asd-dr9cf you play 3 ranked games, if you win one and lose another only then you play the 3rd game, but if you lose/win 2 games of 3 then you play unranked or do other stuff that way you don't rage and the previous 2 loses don't affect your next game(PMA)
Thanks Jenkins!
versatility on different heroes are always very important, even if you don't know how to play atleast you'll be able to know how to fight against them.
This is anedoctal thing but anyway, if you are in doubt whetever to mute someone or not heres one trait that i havent been proven wrong so far: if someone in your team says something along lines "i hope you can play x" "i hope you can play x well" or something very similar in hero picking screen its 100% someone who will flame you or your team at some point
My advice to my past self: Devote yourself in learning the art of supporting early on, fits you much better than being a carry or an offlaner. It's also more entertaining and you can have a slave/pokemon in late game that you can manipulate to win the game.
This. I realized I do not have enough time for playing many heroes well, and I don't have the patience to farm/last hit. Supporting, doe, comes naturally, and is more fun (it also works well with other tactical/strategic games that I prefer playing).
Doesn't matter what heroes are meta/countering you if they fail to remove your wards.And eventually, you get to a rank where pinging smoke makes the team go where you want them to.
"Slave/pokemon"
The first tip also applies when you're hungry.
7:07 which dota series guy pls help me find it I am trying to find it for a month
Dota 2 reporter episodes
I don't mute all because I want to keep the comunication on, but just the moment somebody get's toxic I never hesitate to mute (unless they are funny because this sometimes actually makes me play better)
your guides have always help me climb the ladder from my 1.3k mmr to 4k mmr. thank you
If you play in SEA server and you are in low MMR like archon below the best time to play rank is in at night where there's a higher chance you can get to play with mature players, yes I mean mature players not kids, even in just pub match like All pick you can get to que with players who does auto support at night and it really feels good compare to morning where there's a lot of lowbies (newly made accounts then kids).
Great video!
Thats actually how I play carry coming from offlane. It took me a year to get rid of 90% of the suiciding. But it also made me a much better offlaner.
Fukin’ dog shit at the end got me
I did not expect that ending XD
Do you have any advice on how to learn heroes? There are many heroes I really want to learn and improve with but in SoloQ, I just can't...I can't even play my fav role in SoloQ because I'm too afraid.
Is learning a hero in normal matches possible or do you just test the hero in demo mode until you get used to him/her?
Play turbo but first do some demos to learn it out then play turbo
Holy shit mom, im on the video
Would love some more examples of the patterns Aui talked about! 😁
a friend of mine said to me, git gud
1:33 had me dying
1:05 bing chilling !! 🥶🥶🥶
+15 Social Cre- i mean MMR to you, Jenkins.
Actually about muting everyone and spamming one hero i just recently started doing it it is actually so true im just a 2k mmr player but it did help a lot in fact i went from Guardian 4stars to Archon 1star now and im still improving
Great content and the ending with BSJ made me snort haha
I still content that one biggest mmr tip in under 4k is to push sidelanes(, while not feeding).
a pattern I have with axe is the following, if I miss any of my first 2 cullings, I am going to have a horrible time as axe.
That Offlaner example i can relate, as i would say as an offlaner:
"0/4/0 in 12 mins? That's just a scratch"
so true
Now I wanna spam Kunkka and listen to sea shanties
Good
The one hero advice is really great, I must say. Same can be applicable to any MOBA actually. And well, night gaming is not good for health in general.
Thanks for the video!
Gonna love that bored - running - ded sound effect
Shower at least once a day
Touch some grass
Use deodorant
Always all chat “ez game ez mid” when you are pushing enemy’s ancient
Take as much space and farm as available no matter your position especially when solo queuing every pub that is less 8k average
Pause and all chat “?” after getting solo frag on enemy mid or carry
Buy midas on every hero
Combine Midas with philosopher stone
Drop mantles of intelligence and urns of shadows near enemy’s fountain when pushing their ancient
Report every tinker you see
Pick extremely greedy heroes on any position
Never help your teammates if that means you’re losing some gold
Tip teammates and enemies when they make a mistake
I followed these rules and my win rate is 59% over 2k matches
Why isnt there more of this holy shit
Me spamming OD meteor hammer offlane: Yeah you tell them Celery!
Okay but what do the pings mean and how do you use them?
Watch more BSJ...
No joke, my Carry game has been revolutionised since starting to watch his stream and coaching sessions regularly. I went from a good Carry game being 550 GPM, to a good Carry game now being 750+, with my average being 625+.
I'm winning more, and doing more in games, dying less and generally actually doing my job as carry to win the game for the team because I actually Know how to get items faster than the enemy now, and I know how to itemise for both the game I'm in and the strengths of the hero in the current meta as well.
This is also helping me to be a better Support and Offlaner as well, since I know how to analyse the map better now, how to move around it, and how to farm around my carry so that I'm not griefing them by fucking up their farming pattern or letting them get jumped because I'm not creating space.
Muting all enemies is a good thing to do. You don't need to spend your time on toxic people, just focus on game and that'll give you higher chance of winning.
those fucking meme references man, ur a legend!! 🤣🤣
Tip 1 : dont play pudge , if you play atleast 1 game , you somehow fall inlove with him , its not that bad as a hero but its hard for ur summary conduct.
Tip 2 : tell ur carry he can buy observers , now they are free ( from 2 years ago , they dont know yet but make sure to)
Tip 3: If ur carry is want to pick Am and ure under 7k mmr > Tell him if he pick Am you go mid amulet.
Tip 4:Never , but never argue with ur carry , hey gonna farm 30 min for nothing then tilt cause u tell him his bad.
Tip 6: Try to always use smokes when u want to gank enemy jungle ( it will make people actually do something in a game , not playing PVE)
Tip 7:where is tip 5
Tip 8 :why you look back to see if tip 5 isnt there?
Tip 9:Why are you laughing? Im serious about 1-6.
Tip 10 : Wanna get mmr? Get a couch and play only Ta/od mid. ( SB and weaver current meta).
5:06 monkey is from cognitive tradeoff hypothesis vid, pretty cool ref
