As pos 4, it's always a pleasure to see the enemy know that you planted obs in a particular area and they try to de-ward it but planted sentry in the wrong spot and they need to send another sentry but you then kill their courier.
funnily enough this is not true anymore in 2022, in ancient bracket now everyone buys bkb 80% of the time, but this was not the case two years ago lol nobody buys bkb back then
As a 5 player it is the most sadistic role. Glimpsing carries, disabling them for the whole fight, taking down vision and running in for that one last spell to disable a tp. The 5 role is based around making the enemy team miserable.
i love that split second but unmistakable lick from bad to the bone when you put Skeleton King on the minimap. Really amazing stuff Jenkins. You cured my depression.
I play 4/5 (or 4 that acts like 5) in Crusader and just did the pull the creepwave into your lane just a couple of times. But hell, I never realized that I fuck up the enemy lane so much if I get to block 2 jungle camps, that's a really neat trick. Lesson learned, must try my best to apply this in games.
This shit is unironically a better guide than 1000 "broken hero" guides and other shit I've seen. Used the advice on support and immediately have been winning more.
As the sweaty tryhard I like to smoke deep in enemy jungle early on and place wards nobody expects this early in the game and now I know exactly where enemy carry is at all times and can plan out smokes and ganks around where he'll likely be.
Oh Jenkins you make it sound so easy, it makes me believe that next game I play everyone in game at must at least know about roles in Dota. If the average pub player would at least listen to half this video, matches would be waaay more fun.
i rewatched this for fun and because jenkins is best dota information. This shit might be out of date to a certain extent but like 70% Of the information still stands. Im divine player so not quite out of dog hood but still its relavent. New players listen and adapt and pay attention to this shit
the problem with eating ganks as a five is that your team calls you a feeder. You ask them for a little backup while you deward the jungle, they refuse, then you get killed while your team complains that there's no vision in jungle
9:00 PREACH!!! "Place wards 1 sentry range away from cliffs." I tell my fellow supports that every single time! Noone listens. And then they wonder why we dont have vision unless I am the pos 5
Offlane is the chad lane and you can't change my mind. You literally kill their most important hero and steal its farm, while simultaneously sowing discord among them while said carry baby rages about it. Not to mention you are typically the hardest hero to bring down and the one that starts fights. if gigachad was a role, it would be offlane
Yeah very Gigachad picking tanky flavor of the month offlaners that play themselves. Tell yourself what you want youngster, but pos 3 is the second least gigachad role. It's the opposite.
@@JakeGittes84 bro every role has fotm pickers its not special to offlane, and what does "play themselves" even mean 😂 You think it takes less skill to 1v2 after 4min then what, play carry and hit creeps efficiently? Every role has its difficulties you are just salty, probably a feeding pos 5 😘
Dang I never thought of Dota 2 being this complex.. Ever since I started I just knew 2 things; 1. Abilities 2. Decide which hero should be considered the carry(in my pubs experience sometimes we all pick carries and for ex: I play DK and see that my lane mate is Drow, I let her have cs and do lane pulls) I never realized there were 5 positions until now, always thought it was 3 carries and 2 supps. As well as neutral spawn blocking and smart ward planting. Must be why I don't play for MMR :0
Been following pos 4 guide for about 6 month in Herald bracket. Result for 250 games on a single hero:AVG KDA of 11-3-13 and a 40% WR. Thanks Jenkings bro
If you genuinly have 40% WR with an avg KDA of 11-3-13 as a pos 4 you're most likely: - Being far too careful - Building like a core every single game - Stealing a lot of farm from your cores All this being said, you're in the herald bracket, if you get stuck in herald with that kind of kill stats you probably pick heroes that doesn't scale at all or can't do objectives at all on their own.
Hahaha, wow one of the best guides I've seen in a long long time. So funny, but yet pretty usefull. Amazing job Jenkins. I really liked this one 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 keep it up
Whenever I'm using a strength offlane hero main items are: 2 bracer vanguard brown boots Cloak Having these can last me a whole game without problems even though I go in guns blazing
This is the true basic dota guide for all positions. Do this only in emergency. Because there are still aspects that we need to understand and memorize in order to get better in dota.
another brilliant video that is going to immediately impact the pub meta but the fact that this video is up and while Jenkins is at the majors displays the hustling mentality he has
"Now we get to the role for peoppe who want to play core but are too adhd to sit in lane and hit creeps" Ive never felt so offended by something I 100% agree with
2:50 Me watching my midlaner either die to get one of them, or leave all runes to the enemy laner and get bullied off of his creeps. "Youre right...but youre not."
But when do you stop hitting the jungle surely there's an end to it *5 slot at 30min with midas farming until they have agh blessing and moonshard then 4k gold extra while rax are being taken* 😊
Pos 3 is the best position. You get to bully weak carries in the early game and terrorise the entirety of the enemy team soon after because your hero has inbuilt utility so you only need 2 items to function. Proper pos 3 heroes also happen to be fun as all hell to play
Might just be a lower bracket thing but normally as pos 4 a Windlace will suffice for the early MS to get the ward off, but it is slightly hero dependant, most the time I've found people like to chill around the Bounty spawns and don't tend to veer very far
holy shit thank you for telling people to look at their own creep waves to know how close the enemy creep waves are.. Nobody seems to understand using there eyes
mainly(stuck) at 3k-4k bracket as pos4 on SEA server, i agree with u on 7:01 but its frustating when ur 3core just farming til 30min . . . . even with fast-paced meta nowadays pos3 still rarely build bkb (especialy on my teammates, but not on enemy offlaner) . . . . carry who always stay at lane and fighting a losing fight, meanwhile enemy carry recover at junggle and other lane yeah sure dota is fuckin funny game
Don't forget that your goal as a 5 when pulling in lane isn't to get yourself gold, its to reset the lane. The amount of times a low rank 5 will just afk full waves into non-stacked camps and shoving the lane out towards the offlane is absurd
several things to correct in current meta: as offlaner DO NOT ever buy even one bracer if you are not owning the lane, you may buy talisman or wraith band tho, bc bracer is weak af, the recipe costs u the same 210 gold as other items but grants you mere 0.75 regen and 2 ATK which cannot change anything, while talisman and band are way more worthy, if your pos 4 don't do anything to break the tie but just leech your lane EXP, tell them to leave so that you can catch up the level, try get some LH without dying, buy ring of health or helm of iron will asap (real change bringers unlike useless bracer! with these you are unlikely to be killed and can recover fast!) then dive & stack jungle!
actually even as a (very) low rank pos5-main guy i don't find guide much helpful. Jenkins got a correct point that any hero can be played as pos5 if you know what you're doing. my favorite picks are NS, tide, slardar (typical pos3 heroes) and with a blink I can have a good positioning in fight (but then i realized my play style only fits with aggressive pos1 or a pos2 that likes ganking) about warding, it's definitely a mind game. i usually need my courier help to deward. i really hate MK, Zeus, NP but that's fate. about pulling, i still can't find a way to get rid of enemy disturbing me when pulling. watch what Jenkins talked about pulling as pos4 and pos5 at _small camp_, i don't know what to do if I can't pull besides calling mid for help...
you’re not really a pos 5 if you’re buying blink, you can’t afford one if u have to buy salves, tps and sentries unless it’s past 20mins and that’s already a bit late to have a power spike
@@SanosukeEiji i agree to everything you say except the "if you're buying blink" part. sometimes in some specific matchups, positioning is very important. i can use force staff as an alternative to engage *if my carries can jump by themselves*. but anyway as i said that play style is only suitable when we do snowball strat and I only tried it for 6 games (4 wins) (stopped after being reported xD)
4:05 As a fellow offlaner I think the correct description of offlaners is "People who crave attention, but are afraid of responsibility".
>I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
I think I'll switch to offlane
offlane is for clowns that are afraid to pick clowny hero as mid ;d im one of them

You got the DHL deal after all these years, all your efforts since doto alchemy are paying off, respect jenkins and good luck bud
This is taken from the Major. Glad to see it though.
I'm going to share this with people interested in starting Dota. Thank you Jenkins!

Dang I never thought of Dota 2 being this complex.. Ever since I started I just knew 2 things; 1. Abilities 2. Decide which hero should be considered the carry(in my pubs experience sometimes we all pick carries and for ex: I play DK and see that my lane mate is Drow, I let her have cs and do lane pulls) I never realized there were 5 positions until now, always thought it was 3 carries and 2 supps.

If you genuinly have 40% WR with an avg KDA of 11-3-13 as a pos 4 you're most likely:
- Being far too careful
- Building like a core every single game
- Stealing a lot of farm from your cores
All this being said, you're in the herald bracket, if you get stuck in herald with that kind of kill stats you probably pick heroes that doesn't scale at all or can't do objectives at all on their own.
"As an offlaner, you are the space guy"
I wish it was that easy to find the space maker guy
Hahaha, wow one of the best guides I've seen in a long long time. So funny, but yet pretty usefull. Amazing job Jenkins. I really liked this one 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 keep it up

YES, I am one of those sweaty tryhards who hunts carries in jungle.
Whenever I'm using a strength offlane hero main items are:
2 bracer

Jenkins was a great person. It sucks to hear he's struggled. RIP man
It almost made me cry how Jenkins snuck in the first note of Bad to the Bone 1:06
