Force Staff or Hurricane Pike

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic that is ’ Force Staff or Hurricane Pike ’. This is same as before it needs to be decided on roles you are playing. First let’s discuss hurricane pike this is because it is an upgraded item and the basic item is dragon lancer whose passive is to increase the range of the ranged hero. So, if you are playing a carry hero like drow ranger, lina, arc warden etc. all these heroes need to participate in fight by staying farm from enemy. After some farm you can upgrade it to hurricane pike which is a good escaping tool. For example, melee hero attacks in close range so with the help of hurricane pike you can push enemy as well as you in opposite direction. It is a great item to disengage a fight or to avoid a gank. Remember hurricane pike can be used on yourself as well on allied heroes. Now let’s see what force staff does. So, as we know hurricane pike is a great item in fight. but what about support? They cannot afford s...

Position 5 Itemization

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...

Itemization

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...

Mid Game

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 ...

Soft Support (Position 4)

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys ‘ Soft Support (Position 4) ’. This is also important role in a match because it helps your team to secure kills. Let’s discuss it in further detail. Now everyone knows that there are 2 support soft support and hard support. We are discussing soft support so the main difference in soft support and hard support is that the support that goes with carry is hard support and the one that goes with off-lane is soft support. There is a reason for this that is when a support pulls the camp for the carry the carry goes there and farm the creeps and if a support pulls then the creeps are taken by soft support. So, in short, we can say that soft support farms a bit but hard support doesn’t. Soft support makes item for himself that help him team like Mana boots, Blink, Force Staff etc. Some times they also make aura items or item that buffs the carry. Warding is one of the responsibilities of the support and also dying sometime so that ...
