Spirit breaker here! I learned a ton from this match and have definitely put it into more use in my games. Pos 3 was a newer role for me at the time and I hadn’t quite learned the meta as some of you pointed out. I had a great time and learned a lot! I definitely learned even more from the video and am excited to put it into practice. Hoping bsj saying I have a big future ahead of me is true lol

Having this be a replay commentary goes such a long way. Thanks for putting this out.

As a 2k player, I can HEAVILY relate to BSJs frustration here. I often find myself in these situations even as a support player feeling obligated to do everything and shove every lane because my team doesn't want to do anything and likes to wait for things to happen to them rather than be proactive. Obviously I'm not that great either but it's been something I've been trying to focus on and improve in my playing.

2k player here aswell, i can relate. I generally play 1 and nobody smokes or does anything in this rank and everything is so low iq it hurts. I play support and I have to be the one that initiates while offlane doesn't buy blink etc. Obviously im not good either and am playing to have fun not win but gosh sometimes this rank hurts.

As a 2k carry player, i csn relate to this a lot. If the lane goes bad, it feels very hard to push as a carry, and a lot of the times the mid and offlanes farm the safe farm, forcing the carry to push lanes and get ganked in the lane, compounding the issue. Sometimes i just resign myself and play as a pos 3 so that we rven have a chance.

that's what every 2k/3k player says but dude. trust me, if you are 2k (which is really bad), is because you are bad. 2k is a very low lvl dota that you can win solo if you really know how to play. sorry but the truth has to be said. 2k and 3k players have to stop telling themselves they are good at the game, that's when they will start learning and get to 5k+. I have a 2800 MMR smurf and everytime I go play there, every game is full of flaming and bla bla bla even though people don't have half of my mmr. Low mmr players talk too much, they pay too much attention to mistakes and they are unable to focus on the game. Trust me man, I've been there. Just learn how to play and talk less.

Honestly this happens up to 5k. One of the hardest parts in these games is just the pressure to show up to fights even when you feel like we just aren't good enough for it or aren't reliable or properly coordinated to take that fight.

When the cores dont clear waves and let them push into the towers while they farm ancients right next to it then spam X on you as support as half the creep wave dies to the tower. Or you tp to defend mid as a support when mid ganks and you just get pinged 20 times for daring to take solo farm an xp as a support.

The difference is definitely pushing. But it’s also that a 2k can’t play a few carries good enough to solo to 3k. And yes I am 2k, and yes I am not good enough with enough Carrie’s to carry myself to win games consistently. But I will say that almost every win/loss is due to a team getting a huge advantage and the throw it by not pushing at all when they likely can end by min 20-25. And most of the other games is a team almost throwing by not pushing. The lower mmr you go, the more and more people, especially the pos 1 and 2, just want to constantly farm nonstop until they are 6 slotted. And nothing frustrates me more than when my entire team all agree (either verbally, text, or by joining the push) for a push and we all agree, and then one guy just tps out or goes to a nearby neutral a camp as we push the high ground and then we get destroyed and the game does a 180 and game is now over. This is likely half of not more than half of my losses. It’s obviously a good deal of my wins too of course when the other team has this happen lol.

I've noticed that boots of travel are a must have as mid in archon. Since - as you mentioned - people dont push waves, mapmovements are completely unpredictable and fights break out randomly anywhere at any time. There is literally no way to 'farm your way to a fight'. And if you farm towards your team, to help them in case a fight breaks out, they'll 4 man walk away from you, or tp to the other side of the map for no reason. Suddenly you find yourself in a 3 v 5, when your whole team was there just 10 seconds earlier. Honestly, the situation you were in the first 25 mins of this game is what 90% of games in archon feel like. And if you have a hero who can only push one lane reliably youre screwed. I feel like its harder to carry archon games than high legend or ancient games. I need 60% of my brainpower to try and ignore all the bad shit thats happening and not get baited into bad fights

This is what I'm talking about whole time, it is 10 time easier to carry Ancient games than archon games, because in Ancient games even if im stomped on mid i can at keast have rotations from pos 4 to take exp or if i FUCKING GANK AS A MIDLANER MY GANK FUCKING MEANS SOMETHIG, NO IN ARCHON EVEN IF I GANK AS LINA WITH BOTS MY PEPEG TEAM IS ALWAYS AFRAID TO PUSH AND TO MAN UP AND IM ALWAYS IN A SITUATION TO BE FRONTLINER BECAUSE FUCKING FRONTLINER IN ARCHON DOESN'T EXIST!

When I see a Spirit Breaker - the embodiment of a dust carrier - asking supports to carry dust, I know that I'm in 3k. I'm only halfway through the video at the part where BSJ says he's gonna flame a lot of SBs plays and I can't say that I am surprised.

Am 2k player, and this video is story of my life. Like really often I spend my time wondering "what the f**k is going on", and end up out farm of the other team and pushed as f**k. You made a spotlight on moments that will really helping me knowing how to react to such situations. Good job!

If thats what u call flaming then you are not ready for sea dota😂😂

Always been a fan of educational smurf, and the post game replay analysis makes it even more rich! I barely understood anything about how to play dota until I saw these. Thank you!!

biggest problem imo is 2k will NOT take rosh, ever, without prompting. Even then, you have to drag them by the ear.

Very important to point out how the enemy team's movements can dictate where their vision is, and vision really wins games - especially with spirit breaker. That bane goes on you at @22:04 with a lot of confidence, so clearly has vision of you and should be dewarded when possible

Was 4k when I stopped playing a few years ago. Now recalibrated at 1.7k. People just stand around under tower, pinging that you come to stand with them :D. And it's becoming difficult to rank up, because they are really not playing/farming. It happens for the last 10 games that the enemy team does everything good. And my team feeds or goes 'killer' builds (i.e. mid necro brown boots lvl5 dagon, and thats it :D)

Hello there bsj i want to know how much you charge for one coaching session

26:22 - you take neutrals instead of applying top tower pressure. While they do have bots, you would still have forced them to use to come to you while you then tp to mid.

After new matchmaking implementation when they pushed 1k guys up during calibration I have this feeling every game. Guy on let's say PL just passively jungle and never pushes waves when opponent is showing across the map. While offlaner guy with a blink can't make any plays because he has to run in between 2-3 lanes defending towers from creeps while 2 cores with an escape jungle... Beautiful 😢, thanks Gabe very much.

Love these videos. So beneficial.

Its crazy but Im lisening this with youtube in background and it can be easly a podcast of dota . U talk about all ur position exactly in the map i can literally imagine everything without the need of seeing it by my self!

welcome back bananaslamjamma!

There's little to no difference between 2K and 3K players. 1: You have position 4's and 5's who attempt to play like 1's, and this is obviously problematic as they are not playing the position of a support (and neither are the Cores), and they are soaking farm and experience that is absolutely detrimental to the outcome of the game. I usually automatically flag them as account buyers as anybody who actually earned their way to the average player's MMR would unironically need to know a thing or two about playing the game. 2: People are way too afraid of being called out for making a miniscule or critical error, that they don't even attempt to create space or make a play. They play just completely passive, hiding in the base, flash farming the creep waves. 3: Following up not creating space. Not buying items enabling themselves to initiate in combat, to counter initiate in combat, to shield, or heal, or push teammates out of the way. You'll have (sigh...) sniper supports going Tranquils into Aghs?? Hoodwinks rushing maelstrom?? Ogres rushing Midas into Aghs??? And it just doesn't end. And it's everything about their inability to comprehend the game atmosphere, or play the game. .... Absolutely no ability to play the laning phase. Not pressuring the opponent's ability to farm gold or experience (absolutely crucial to winning side lanes and building rapport) No ability to create farm by stacking camps. No ability to defend early sieges by casting spells and using mana. Always standing on the back line and not soaking or absorbing any of the incoming enemy damage (forcing the Cores to be the ones soaking the damage and inevitably dying - because the damage isn't distributed equally, the individuals who are intended to die, don't, and the ones who are not intended to die, do) I have played every position, and I would peel for any of my teammates if I had the capability of doing so, regardless of my position, and that's just something that has been forgotten about, because teaching the player base to report each other for miniscule things such as coaching and giving sage advice are the normal now?? My honest opinion is; the game has an incredibly massive learning curve, and the bare basic understanding of the way that the game is played out and the mechanics of the game are not discovered by the playerbase until upwards of 5,000 MMR. So there is absolutely no difference in mentality, skill, or gameplay leading up to that.

You bind the illusions to one of your control groups and attack move the lane, dota remembers what units you put in control groups between the games and demo hero so you can set it once and never redo If you have default keybinds Summon illusions and select them, press shift + 2 Now whenever you press 2 and illusions are alive you will select them Once set up you just press manta, press 2, press A and leftclick down the lane on the map, illusions will go there and attack anything in their way Protip: if you don't play with autoattack on you can bind it in options and toggle it after lane phase ends This way illusions wont just stand there when enemies walk past and will automatically attack anything near

And when I go to somewhere to farm, a fight breaks out and my team loses (since they show themselves to enemy and enemy gathers because there are 2-3 people doing nothing) ... That is so annoying.

Welcome back!

From my own experience, being ex high mmr player, not playing, droping to archon and then growing atlest to low divine atm (play just few games a week, takes time). Diference between players are mainly in mindset and communicarion. From high archon/low legend to high legend / low ancient players is only doference from my observations - some of them instaled the "team communication" (be it chat or voice) DLC and some not. (By communication i mean communicating moves/timings with team, not shouting at team and flaming). And then, the diference from low ancient to low divone is again realy simple - if ppls tilt higher they go 10 min jungle afk and then usualy proceeds to be somewhat usefull. At lower mmr they sell items and autoattack mid.

YIPEE BSJ VIDEO!!! :)))

You have been missed BSJ

I really want to play a proper offlane like Mars but it's just not working. I should just continue cheesing the games since im not a mid laner.

I started playing a week a go, i played league for almost 8 years and me and my friend are trying to learn dota, and we encounter this problem very often, people don't push lanes and expect that you make plays, so most of the games is me and him pushing sides while our team fights or farm mid together :| it's pretty frustating but i understand that some people don't have the same notion

It's regional thing i believe, being an Ancient at Aussie server, no smoke, no stacking whenever safe lane winnning, and only goes for Tier 2 Towers after BKB on at least 2 cores. Been trying to play at SEA and EU, both are more active but man most of the game took >45min to end. Mid n pos 1 too eager for 6 slotted first before going high ground, even when leading by a landslide.

what does BSJ mean with mid lane and side lane clearing heroes?

@ManroeTM

Жыл бұрын

Ppl might have better explanation but simply put Sidelanes = longer lanes = more opportunities for the enemy to gank cuz of it and also portals Midlane = shorter lane = usually heavily guarded by wards since ppl deemed mid more important hence more attention to it So sidelanes = need more mobility + survivability to actually clear it safely (coupled with better map awareness even if u have said requirements) Midlane = can be cleared by less survivable/mobile heroes hence why bsj said its the place for ranged high wave clearance rate (by nukes/spells) Not perfect explanation but simple enough to understand

Is that Windows 7 media player?

Man. I think that as time goes on it'll become more and more of a prevalent thing but nobody talks about how it's a ten year old game and lots of people still playing are just addicted and the game is ritual. Theres no thinking just lots of autopilot. Plus, because the parallels of addiction and mental illness - often players have behaviour issues. Whether its problems with following other people, main character syndrome, rage issues etc. When game is good, its great. So often its just an hour of torture and personally im leaning more and more towards not gambling with my time. There are other games I can play that are always fun.
