How the roles work in Dota 2 

thanks 😀

of course. The 5 should have farm. But it is not going to be the same as a pos 1. My point in the video is that you, as a 5, have the least priority on hitting creeps. You will always have things to do like trading, pulling, stacking, smoking, warding, teamfight. But you still will be clearing waves throughout and lasthitting whenever you can. I don't mean the 5 shouldnt farm but there is a time and place. Thats why you also see in pro games the 5 with lowest net worth and bottom cs score.

@@danielpandaman I also see in pro games supports taking farm priority when they are close to finishing an item which is used to keep the carry alive. Pubs aren’t that efficient so for a new player it might be accidentally encouraging them to sacrifice their own game. I would concede though that in the lower mmr games some are won just with simple good warding

​@@jameswallace6249 i see your point. Yes. For pubs you definitely want to farm more. Just make sure your cores are happy because lots of core players are like man child and will break items lol. In higher mmr like 10k+ with pros and really good players 5s hit a lot more creeps. But they also understand when the right time to do that is and they aren't afk etc. I am not a great 5 myself to be fair.

yeah. Pulling is something you do to put the lane in a more favorable position. You want the creeps as close to your tower as possible.

If you know which supports can do well with a bit of farm, then you shouldn't be watching this video. This video is CLEARLY for people who are just getting into the game. They don't know hoodwink scales really well if she gets a maelstrom early. Or an early blink on shaker is amazing value for the team. For someone just getting into the game, "higher number gets lower creeps" is perfectly adequate. Stop gatekeeping this game. People like you is why Dota is far behind League in numbers. New players don't need to memorize every little thing.

@@MM-vs2et this video is still leading new players into a trap. If you just focus on 3-5 heroes you like playing then you will learn your position AND how your heroes scale. That's why I'm really good as a POS 4 but lose my team the game if I play 1-3. Because I don't understand those heroes yet. There's no general way of learning DOTA. The best way is spend time finding a small handful of heroes you like playing and spam TF out of them so you learn them. DOTA is behind in player count because it's actually challenging to play. LoL is DOTA for babies.

i understand what you mean. I am trying to provide an overview of the "general" ideas of the roles. Obviously dota is more complex. Someone who has just picked up the game will not know that picking morphling 5 is bad because they generally wont understand each hero and the dynamics of roles. I appreciate your comment.
