thank you so much for the guide. yeah, that orb walking thing, i'm still practicing. thanks for the heads-up. i did the same what you told. except i dont take roshan. its hard to kill him solo,...if i ask my team to assist, it will be very obvious and as you know i'm playing in pub, so very hard to coordinate with them... I more focus help them secure their farming time, disturb the enemy carries. etc...
@SuperNova and Sia,
I never build soul ring. i need a slot for raindrops to roam around, tequila seems good enough for my regen. maybe perhaps clinkz in the patch has good mana regen? i also don't buy medalion, i just feel it kinda delay my orchid to start running around the map? maybe i should try. soul+medalion, i hope it will works on me.
Hey Gaba bitch if u bothered checking my stats i played for 3 months 2 fucking years ago and i just came back recently and climbed from Archon 4 to Ancient 0 and my negative winrate is because i play with my herald friends so yeah fuck off
so far so good.... i only have 1 lost so far. lycan seems weak at late game? unlike clinkz, i can backdoor tank towers...how about lycan? no natural escape, how should i play him in late game? if my push strategy at early-mid game fail.
Dont stop playing clinkz cuz u lost. This is part of the real learning process. If u be like most ppl and stop when u start losing with the hero u spamming u'll never really get good at any.
It almost always goes smth like this:
1)Have no fuckin clue how to play a hero
2)watch pros, read guides, learn however u do how that hero works
3)play the hero a bunch trying to copy and do what u learned. U'll suck cuz u thought u totally learned it but that's never how it works
^THIS IS WHERE U AT. DONT QUIT.
4)list out questions like why did i lose this game? Why did i lose laning stage? Why did i lose when i had high kda? What do i do vs heroes that can escape or dodge me like tinker, pl, void, am, etc?
5)now u go watch pros play againz tryina find out how they deal with those situations u had in ur games. (Tryina answer ur questions)
U slowly start to understand, and apply in ur own games. Now it'll make it u better and better at both the hero and the game. And obviously as a result u'll get higher mmr, more winrate, kda, and etc
If u do good with a hero CONSISTANTLY at the start with ur own knowledge and no extra, that means either ppl in that bracket dunno how to play against that hero, or u've learned smth that is puttng u on an advantage.
This does not mean if u start losing i gotta change ur hero. Instead, learn him more. It's like when violin lessons start to get hard u say oh i wanna change my instrument not become better at the same thing
Hi @sai, thanks for the advice... it seems you are using smurf account :) already got HS/VHS... yes, the more i lose, the more i got chance to learn. thanks lot. appreciated.
Playing against anti carry blademail you have to improve your macro game. Ie game sense and map positioning, plus fight positioning. If they see you and if they can reach you, they are gonna call you, duel you, everything. What you do is make sure you don't reveal yourself if that's a possibility (and assuming you can't manfight them). Linkens is good against LC and blood.
For axe you build lifesteal and just build Armour and Hp. Or just avoid being called.
What mmr is archon 0 these days? Grats on the medal i wish you would swap me that herald acc your journey would be halved and i went through the low prio nightmare while trying to calibrate at herald...
it depends. vlads is situational item for me, it depends if your team benefits on it.... must rush HOTD, and then Necro
yeah i don't really buy boots. I can escape with Ultimate or just simply TP out.
I
yeah i know, i do take boots occasionally especially if i'm not doing very will early game. i don't farm by the way, most of my games ending 25-30 minutes... just nonstop push... i'm always on mic to coordinate my teammates.
I played DOTA2 like a year ago. I did not play dota 1 or any moba games but I still calibrated at 1.1k then make new accouny and calibrated at medal Crusader 4 then now Archon 2 Awesome..
Hey MckJohan, one thing i've noticed is you like to split push which is a great thing to do as a carry.. keep that up along with map awareness to raise in ranks in no time. One of the biggest problem with a lot of bad carries is they tend to stay in their jungles when theirs a clear lane that can be pushed (when the hero or heroes that poses a threat to you is showing on map)
You can save a lot of gold by not buying and wards in games below ancient 1, because ALL people are blind there. You can show them with wards that 5 enemies are coming and they just stay at their position and die. Never buy wards until ancient 1!
kind of agree to that. i'm playing mid lycan most of the time. i just observed who's hero has potential to gank me. been watching lots of coaches in youtube like BSJ... kind of help me to play mid. even though i play it on lycan.
There's not much difference from legend bracket and archon bracket other than people not picking five cores and some cores knowing actually what to do, rest is the same
A >80% wr suggests that you are way beyond your skill bracket.
Wow such an impressive winrate you played 2 games nice
"Herald 5 after 2 fucking years?!!???!!
Please uninstall dota and reconsider your life decisions"
Dude you're ancient 0 with a 48% wr after 2 years you cant even maintain your bracket.
Let him be happy for ranking up you bitch
@sia

@Metsis, thanks for the feedback.
I'm now Guardian 3 :)

Your negative WR is because you're shit, don't be a bitch and blame your team YOU suck...
OP is happy to rank up and you're a miserable shitty ancient player.
I see, i see. Nothing to discuss with a retard i guess
why are you fighting in forum LOL
Because he has dawn syndrome
Positive vibes in a positive thread for positive OP, please.
Stf.u 2k player
No 2k players here, only big dick future pro players.
i stop playing clinkz for awhile. seems i started to get losing streak... now i focus to play lycan: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/335294537/matches?hero=lycan
so far so good.... i only have 1 lost so far. lycan seems weak at late game? unlike clinkz, i can backdoor tank towers...how about lycan? no natural escape, how should i play him in late game? if my push strategy at early-mid game fail.

Nahh. Better than the worst. Imma roast em if he is Herald [0] now
Hi @sai, thanks for the advice... it seems you are using smurf account :) already got HS/VHS... yes, the more i lose, the more i got chance to learn. thanks lot. appreciated.
Ye no problem man. Not smurfing my main acc has been banned for... 2 years now or smth. So im using another one i had
dotabuff.com/players/319627113
This is my acc
If u really wanna appreciate it, actually start practicing learning from losses thing i talked about. Gl
@sai, how do you deal blademail? like enemy has, AXE, LC, BS... 3 of them has it.
Just build shadowblade on lycan and you have your escape. Easy.
Playing against anti carry blademail you have to improve your macro game. Ie game sense and map positioning, plus fight positioning. If they see you and if they can reach you, they are gonna call you, duel you, everything. What you do is make sure you don't reveal yourself if that's a possibility (and assuming you can't manfight them). Linkens is good against LC and blood.
For axe you build lifesteal and just build Armour and Hp. Or just avoid being called.
Thanks HanYolo, i message you last night in-game, it seems your busy :) wanna play sometimes.
today i reach crusader 2. :) so happy.
Nice. Your focus should be on the action and the learning. The results are just automatic outcomes of actually being better
thanks sia :)
Is that your photo irl?
today, i have good news. i reach archon[0] from herald[2] 75mmr in 1 month.
I play many clinkz and lycan game.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Gz to your progression. Keep it going. :)
What mmr is archon 0 these days? Grats on the medal i wish you would swap me that herald acc your journey would be halved and i went through the low prio nightmare while trying to calibrate at herald...
How the hell do you play no boots Lycan, rushing vlads and still win ?
Common its sub 3k bracket, cores just run around chasing kills, pushers require team coordination to deal with them, theres no such thing in sub 3k.
EE played no boot lycan
it depends. vlads is situational item for me, it depends if your team benefits on it.... must rush HOTD, and then Necro
yeah i don't really buy boots. I can escape with Ultimate or just simply TP out.
I
Tbh i don't like no boots lycan. Power treads are really strong and cheap. You will just run around way too slow without your ult.
Always remember: more MS = faster farming. :)
yeah i know, i do take boots occasionally especially if i'm not doing very will early game. i don't farm by the way, most of my games ending 25-30 minutes... just nonstop push... i'm always on mic to coordinate my teammates.
I played DOTA2 like a year ago. I did not play dota 1 or any moba games but I still calibrated at 1.1k then make new accouny and calibrated at medal Crusader 4 then now Archon 2 Awesome..
You are just bad! That's all.
its not about or good...its about improving.
Umm... Does archon is bad? Or mmr is fluctuating?
6 month ago i was play on archon 1-2
Hey MckJohan, one thing i've noticed is you like to split push which is a great thing to do as a carry.. keep that up along with map awareness to raise in ranks in no time. One of the biggest problem with a lot of bad carries is they tend to stay in their jungles when theirs a clear lane that can be pushed (when the hero or heroes that poses a threat to you is showing on map)
yeah...thanks bro. i like to push than to kill.
Just now, I reached Archon[1]...
Any tips how to become LEGEND ?
just before the new MMR... I gain Archon[4] just now :)
Cheers All.
Gl to you, my bone fletcher spammer
Hi now, I spam Lycan.... managed to climbed to Archon IV :)
Damn, nice winrate and KDA isn't bad either.
You can save a lot of gold by not buying and wards in games below ancient 1, because ALL people are blind there. You can show them with wards that 5 enemies are coming and they just stay at their position and die. Never buy wards until ancient 1!
kind of agree to that. i'm playing mid lycan most of the time. i just observed who's hero has potential to gank me. been watching lots of coaches in youtube like BSJ... kind of help me to play mid. even though i play it on lycan.
There's not much difference from legend bracket and archon bracket other than people not picking five cores and some cores knowing actually what to do, rest is the same
Just spam high win rate hero mate
