Position 4 Itemization

Hello Guys,

I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a topic in ongoing series that is ‘Position 4 Itemization’. In this post we will discuss how a soft support should itemize.

As a soft support initial game item are same as discussed before but one of the main items is ward. Yes, guys it might seems less important but it is important because it can prevent your carry from getting ganked and also help you to gank enemy carry by smoking and warding their jungle. So, warding is one of the main roles of support.

So, please do not get offended if you core say to ward jungle. Instead of arguing just do it if possible. Now the next question comes is which boots to make for a soft support so it is simple most of the hero who lack speed and health regen or max health go for tranquil boots. But there are some support heroes which need to you a lot of spells and run out of mana. For those you need to go mana boots.

So, the boots are decided so now come what to make in mid game for this I need to mention one thing that a support should never go core items yes guys you heard right please stay support do not try to become a core in match you already have it. Now for mid game it comes to enemy heroes and your team heroes if enemy team has a great initiation or catch then you need to make defensive items like glimmer cape, force staff etc.

If you team lacks initiation or catch then you need make items like blink, aether lense etc. these items will help to catch enemy hero and allow your team to capitalize on it. It is possible that sometime you initiate and enemy team counter initiate so don’t get angry that your team didn’t help you think that your sacrifice saved your team from bad engagement.

Don’t worry if you have many deaths because if your death is what getting your team good fight and objective then so be it. So, this is it for soft 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, ...
