Early Game

Hello Guys,

I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic in ongoing series that is ‘Early-Game’. In this post we will discuss what all needs to be done so that you can enter smoothly in the mid game which is the most important phase.

So, in Early game we have all the items which we buy in pre-game or at the start of the game. So, then the important part is that we need to upgrade those items or buy other items in order to fight. In order to do that we need to farm as we are very weak in early game because of less level and item we can’t straight go farming.

That is when the most important parts in to be done that is to hit the creeps which spawns every 30 sec in every lane. As we know in every lane, we have enemy heroes so that is when we require last hitting skills in order to get farm and experience. Early game is also called as Laning stage and it is called that because we spend most of the time in lane hitting creeps.

Now for every hero there is different time frame to when he can leave the lane and can go farming jungle creeps. Now if your laning stage was good you can sit in lane for some more time because lane creeps give more XP and gold then jungle creeps. So, hitting lane creeps is better. But however, enemy will try their best that you leave your lane early so that they can take your tower.

Now some heroes can farm jungle creeps at early level and some heroes cannot. But in order to generalize it we can say at level 6 every hero can farm jungle creeps. So, just wait for level 6 and then go farming mode. There are some scenarios where you die 2 to 3 times in 4-5 minutes and you are still level 3 so in that case you don’t need to stay till level 6 you can leave early and start farming because staying in lane will benefit enemy and not you. You can only enter the lane when your tower is destroyed and enemy hero leaves the lane so that it is safe for you.

So, in this way we can generalize that in early game you need to focus on last hitting and if you are a support then help your carry take last hit by harassing the enemy hero or support.

Thank you, guys for reading this post and stay tune for more dota 2 related content.

Good Game

Pure Damage

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new form of damage that is ‘ Pure ’. This post will be very short because the concept of pure damage is very simple. First let us discuss what hero’s and items do pure damage. Heroes like Pudge, Bane, Specter etc. have abilities that does pure damage. There are no such items yet that does pure damage there are some items like MKB which pierce the evasion and deals damage but that is not pure. Let us see with an example how does a pure damage works but first let us compare it with other form of damage. As we know that in damage types like physical and magical there are ways to reduce it buy in pure damage you cannot reduce it. Its means that if a hero ability damage is 300 and it is pure then the damage taken by you is also 300. Yes, there is no magic resistance in it. So, in short there is no way in which you can reduce the effect but you can survive it like making blade mail it will reflect damage in the same way done to ...

Shadow Blade or Glimmer Cape

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic that is ‘ Shadow Blade or Glimmer Cape ’. As we discussed some items are categories based on the roles like carry and support. As we first consider glimmer cape this is something a support player goes so that on ganking him he has something to escape. The good part of glimmer cape is that it cast during channeling which means spells like freezing field, black hole, death ward etc. Some time what happens is enemy hero does not have dust and when you cast your channeling spell that there are chances you might get a kill. So, in this way you can win a team fight. the best part of glimmer cape is that it can be casted on our friends which mean not only you but you can also help your core to escape a fight. Now let’s see shadow blade. As a personal experience I can tell this item is not good for core there are many reasons for it. As it was buffed in the recent patch it is good some hero like tiny, lina, drow ranger, sn...

Status Effect :- Root

Image
Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new status effect which is ‘ Root ’. It is a very simple concept with respect to other status effect we discussed. So, in a root enemy hero cannot move or use any abilities or item that contribute in movement. Root :- So, the above image is just a representation of the of root. Heroes like Meepo, Naga Siren, Oracle etc. have abilities which can root enemy hero. Unlike other status effect in root, you can attack but you cannot move or use abilities that relates to movement of the hero. So, it is a good way of keeping enemy hero in place and attack them. It is very easy to dispel root. Items like BKB, Manta Style, Guardian Greaves etc. can be used to dispel root. It is a good way to initiate a fight let’s take an example of it. Pudge first ability hook is something you need to be very particular so what most of the players do is root an enemy hero and then hook him so that it is a confirm initiation of the fight. Thank you, ...
