Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a topic which you think is less important but you are wrong and that is ‘ Oder of Itemization ’. So, let’s straight dive into it. Now the initial items will be same as discussed before so we will skip that part and go to point where you decided either to complete the wand or go for boots component. Its simple if in a lane your enemy cast spells in order to stay even in lane then go for complete wand first. By doing that you will have complete sustainability in lane and then go for you boots. If the enemy hero doesn’t require spells to contest in lane and you face problem like slow or loss of attack speed then go for gloves of haste for attack speed or brown boots for speed it depends on lane. Now after wand and boots you go for some mid game items. While going mid games items you need to decide if you need basic dispel like manta or euls. Some player goes 3 rd item as BKB or something big like MKB which is wrong because in ...

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic that is ‘ Objectives ’. Now some people consider towers as an only objective but there is more to it then you know. In a dota 2 game we know that we have different roles and each team has same amount of map control in the start of the game and during the match the situation changes. Now how that happens let’s see how. We know there are wards in game so if you manage to place the ward in an enemy jungle then you can kill some one or plan a gank if some one comes to farm there. Now how this works is that some time enemy doesn’t know you have placed a ward but once you kill them in their own jungle then they realize that their jungle is warded so they will be more cautious than before they some time even can bait themselves so that when you initiate on them, they counter initiate you. So, warding an enemy jungle can help you control their side of map. Now other scenario is when you kill enemy player then will back and...

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought the last topic of series that is ‘ Position 5 Itemization ’. This is some what same as fir position 4 but with a twist. Let’s see how. As we discussed the pre-game item same as position 4 what matters is the boots which I can say can be same as position 4 but sometime if your team needs mana you need to go mana boots and if the requirement is dispel with some health and mana then guardian grieves is good option. For making those you need to update mana boots. Now warding is more important for pos 5 or hard support because you are obliged to do so. So, do and help your team to have more map control. Now a hard support doesn’t farm like core so don’t make items that make you a core hero otherwise you will be stealing farm form your carry hero and other core. So, please look into to it. To improve efficiency and make space for carry participate in kills with mid player or off laner. This can be done with the help of smoke gank. The most...

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 thi...

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic in series that is ‘ Position 3 Itemization ’. Itemization for this role is never fixed because not only it depends on enemy heroes but also on you own team hero how will it affect let’s discuss. Now the pre-game item will be same as discussed before. Now when it comes to boots the same logic as position 1 hero will come into picture for position 3 hero. So, select which boots you need according to the game. A pos 3 needs to stay in lane and try to make enemy teams carry hero laning stage bad. So, for a position 3 or Off-Laner his itemization is mostly based across aura item and getting tanky. This is because if you don’t have a good initiator in your team then position 3 players has to do it. For able to initiate a team fight a pos 3 needs to be tanky because he will be the first target who will be burst with all spells by enemy team. So, a pos 3 needs to be tanky.   When it comes to aura items it depends to ...

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a topic in series that is ‘ Position 2 Itemization ’. In this mid lane player need to read this carefully. So, when it comes to position 2 player itemization is very tricky this is because the pace of the game is set by position 2 player as mentioned in previous post so if the pace is fast items needs to be cheap and if you want to take game to late then different approach is required. Now the pre-game items are same as mentioned before. The most difficult decision is which boots to buy so the answer is simple. Most of the player go phase boots because it gives armor and damage plus bonus movement speed for a particular amount of time. If in a game you realize that you team lacks lane clearing hero then you need to go boots of travel because it will help you clear the wave in all 3 lanes and also allow you to help team in fight. But keep in mind the cost of the boots of travel it is very high around 2.5K and phase boot is 1....

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic in series that is ‘ Position 1 itemization ’. In this post we will learn how to itemize fir a carry hero. So, pre-game items are same as discussed before when it comes to early game carry heroes tend to make items that give them agility or attack speed. This is done because on mid game a carry hero needs to farm so damage and attack speed id must. Now when it comes to which boots carry should make there are mainly two types Power Threads and Phase boots. Now the question comes what to make on carry. The answer is it is different for different heroes. Hero like specter, drow ranger, phantom lancer makes power threads and heroes like juggernaut, ursa, troll war load makes phase boots. The decision is made upon their requirement like some carry hero have good base armor so they don’t need extra armor form phase boots so power threads are made on those hero. Some heroes have low armor but good attack speed and damage...

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys an interesting topic which is ‘ Itemization ’. Just because it is interesting it doesn’t mean that it is not important. It is one of the most important part of game. If you do a wrong itemization then there are higher chances that you will lose that match so itemization is important. If you are a carry player then it is one of the most important post for you because right items can help you to win game. This is a general post on items because it is different for different roles so I will discuss the itemization of each role in further post so stay tune. So, first thing first when the game starts what all items you need to buy is discussed in previous post titled ‘ Pre-Game ’. As we progress to laning stage the most common item that all players make is Boots of speed which then upgraded. Which upgraded boots should each role buy will be discussed in further post. Then comes fighting items for core (position 1, position 2, pos...

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today is the last topic of the series that is ‘ Late-Game ’. In this post we will discuss what all objective and how to transition from mid-game to late game. Late game is mostly same for every player because by that time all the cores and supports have farmed to fight. What is more important in late game is about team fight and who wins it. Now low MMR brackets team fights starts when some one sees some one on their side of map and just goes for the fight but this not how it should be implemented. The correct way to initiate the fight is to jump on that enemy hero that is important for that team which means if that hero is alive, you cannot win team fight. Sometime it might be carry some time it will be position 2 depends whose game was better early. So, now the question comes how to select that one hero it is simple you have focus on hero whose laning and mid game was very good. Killing that hero will weaken enemy team and they will have two option tha...

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic in series that is ‘ Mid-Game ’. In this section we will discuss what all different roles players have to do in mid game. For instance, we will take carry player. For a carry player the most important phase is mid game there are two reasons for it one of them is that if a carry player has arrived from the bad laning stage then this is the best time for him to recover and com back in the game. The second reason is that is the laning stage was good then he has an opportunity to dominate mid game and close the game early so that enemy carry doesn’t dominate you. So, farming speed, farming pattern, laning pushing etc. are the skills required for the carry player in mid game. For a position 2 player it is simple because it is a 1 v 1 lane where it is quite equal and he can farm in mid game. For a position 2 player early game is very important because he can set the speed of the game for his team. But mid game is also an ...

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 fr...
