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.

"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

@wowomah6194

Жыл бұрын

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

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.

Would love some more examples of the patterns Aui talked about! 😁

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

lol i never mind dropping gollem at enemy carry when they alone. Sometimes i also catch a support next to him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"They're probably coming for me. I should back." - what you tell yourself 2 seconds before you don't back and they kill you.

The first tip also applies when you're hungry.

Okay but what do the pings mean and how do you use them?

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

damn jenkins content always interesting

Ending is gold

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

dude, your style of editing is made to look like a hodgepodge of clips, but man is that hard to do. fr, the editing is gg-reat with a wp

But how you go end mid if you are a lonely support and your other 4 carries go jungle because they cant finish game before they are 9 slotted?

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

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

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 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.

Aui: "Study patterns and learn from your deaths." Dota = Dark souls confirmed

"Play Pudge" was the true advice.

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.

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.

I think one of the most important tip would be"Don't be toxic"....to others and also to yourself. Stay calm n focused.
