Damn, a new player researches the game, plays the tutorials and studies the abilities of the hero they want to play? In this economy??? Good job Yon, you're doing great!
@@yoncreator FR though, im so sick of seeing the same "first time playing dota" vids where ppl get in game without even doing the bare minimum of figuring out what their own hero does, then complain that they have no idea whats happening or what they should do. its so refreshing to see someone actually put in some genuine effort. Thank you so much, please keep it up!
@@mni833 Hey thanks for the great feedback! Glad to hear that my approach has been something you enjoyed. Really appreciate the support, stay tuned for more effortful content! :)
The first guy right clicked his mini map. Because trying to run down and left, he clicked the upper right portion of the map making him turn around. This is a common beginner mistake when playing on radiant side.
Yeah I completely forgot that normally the Dota UI is set up where the map is on the left. I came from League so I adjusted it so the map is on the right.
Or he chose to die earlier to respawn back faster with full hp rather than waisting time on escaping with no escape. Trying to escape is just lost of exp and gold from lang the longer you fight
@@TaydolfSwifter Depends how many enemies are using their time to try and kill you. In a 1v1 thats a good play, if 3 heroes are chasing you better to squeeze every second out of them that you can.
Yeah it was last summer, so the footage is from LONG time ago, but it is chronologically when I started seriously learning Dota so the first episode is a blast from the past. Thank you for watching!
@@bearofpanda5651 I hope so! I made this first video as a kind of a "test run" to see if people would be interested in my style and the way I tell my story. Based on the feedback of this video and reception I will make a decision!
Thanks a lot for the enthusiasm and nice comment. I'm very happy that you feel that way about the video, I set out to create a kind of experience I wanted more from the youtube dota scene. Stay tuned for more in the future :)
honestly the fact that you press your buttons off cooldown will get you to an above average rank. More spells = more impact. I'd love to see how your journey into dota goes
In higher MMR games, it would have been to reset. He was so low it would have been a waste of regen and -1min to try to stay in the losing lane. it's just better to plain ole reset.
If this is an early game of yours I'm guessing you did a fair amount of research into the items etc., because of your purchases and all. And when playing Hoodwink, I sometimes go first item Arcane Boots, as mana is the thing I often struggle with most with that hero. Hoodwink has excellent spells, but what good are they if you can't cast them?
In this game, I think I tried to use the in game guide feature and followed some of it. However, this game was played and recorded last summer, so the recommended items have changed significantly since then! I agree with the arcane boots! Nowadays I rush build it asap after stick (if opposing laners have spam).
Good thing you have some basic from the LoL. You are doing pretty good in this match. I have some advice on hoodwink. 1. You can right click on your Q skill icon to toggle it to make it always plant a tree. 2. Maelstrom and Gleipnir is a very good item for hoodwink. 3. Your position on fights is a bit too front. Keep circling on the rim or at your skill range. Buying aether lense is a good option sometimes. Hope you enjoy the game
Thank you for the advice! Definitely need to work on my positioning in Dota especially because there are many abilities that can completely lock you down!
@@yoncreator Something I noticed as someone that plays both League and Dota, fog and vision are far more important in Dota than in League. Ganks in dota often occur by nobody being on the map then suddenly 3-4 enemies are ontop of you. Playing from fog and knowing how to break line of sight with trees is integral to positioning for teamfights in dota. In League it's much easier to predict these kind of from-fog engages because walls and bushes are permanent and engage ranges are not your entire screen. Trees, high-vs-low ground, as well as day/night in dota add a lot more variability in how vision plays into a teamfight or gank. Also, good job learning the game. I'm the only one among my friends that likes to play multiple MOBAs and enjoys the different flavors of the genre. Glad to see someone enjoy learning the game rather than just getting frustrated by going in blind then quitting.
You're doing awesome dude! I was going to comment about how you can right-click some spells and they can toggle between a modified version. for example acornshot will produce a tree when fired if "autocasted" but then halfway through you figured it out lol. As a long time dota player with many LoL friends this was so entertaining!
with hoodwik I love to build Maelstrom first item, it has a powerful interaction with your Q. And allows you to easy farm lane and jungle. After that Desolator, then whatever fits against the enemy. Give it a try! At the end you got the combo, Q to the ground to create the tree, E to stun with that tree, charge ult while enemy is stunned. I'm a noob too, but that's the build I had more success with this hero :p also remember that your E allows you to walk through the trees, for easy scape and easy positioning for the combo!
auto report if you playing on my team as a supp, mana boots then atos then go for gleip, then euls or fs then go for crit. hood is a supp that transitions to dps.
I was looking for a LOL player to start a Dota series, so I hope you will make more videos like this one. It was well made and I especially liked the part with the last hitting under the tower. :D Dota has a lot of intriguing techniques and mechanics so it is tough to master, it can be too much, especially in turbo where everything is sped up, so I recommend all pick. But your actions have a greater impact, so you must be careful. (perhaps you have played all pick when you said you played more games), but anyways. I can talk about this for hours, but in short, if you are interested in learning Dota, I would recommend a "friend" with Dota knowledge on call and start with playing against bots first, so you can pause and talk about mechanics just as they happen. Cheers! Have a great day!
Hey thank you for watching and leaving a thoughtful comment! Glad you enjoyed that part about last hitting under the tower - it surprisingly took a while to create that in the editor. I definitely play only all pick or ranked now. I quickly realized turbo isn't as fun as normal mode for me. Dota is definitely very difficult in the sense that there are mechanics and concepts that are so new and foreign in comparison to League. I'd say that League is a lot more streamlined and simple in terms of mechanics while Dota has some really wild mechanics (e.g. blocking camps, stacking camps, BKB, etc).
Hoodwink has a lot of strong abilities, good choice for your first hero. You were landing your stuns and not dying very much for a new player, you were contributing just with that. (in turbo, missing last hits hurts a LOT especially early game)
I'd love to see more "learning dota" gameplay from league enjoyers. If you haven't tried them already, Dawnbreaker is basically a reworked Leona (plays kind of the same) and the new support Ringmaster has league design philosophy written all over his kit
Only halfway through and I'm loving it! The edits are on point :) I know you said your recording was from last year, but if you are still learning, we can chat on discord any time you want, and I'd be happy to coach.
Hey TZAR_POTATO! Thank you so much for checking the video out! Appreciate your support so much! Your content is the reason why I had such an easier time transitioning to Dota from Lol! Please keep up the amazing work!
Wow thank you for the nice compliment! I got lucky with a really good team. I was so confused the whole match. I hope you stick around for the next episodes!
So glad u try dota, after play dota, I think winning in LOL gonna taste different, hahaha. Cause that what I feel, after playing other moba, I`m glad dota is my first moba . Just little tips, when starting game, ask ur lanning friend, are u carry or support, if he said carry, then u must do support. Learn what support must do. If u play hoodwink, and u play as pos 4 (soft support), u must make sure ur offlane survive the lanning phase, harras enemy support and carry, block neutral camp with sentry, and rotate to mid, to help kill their pos 2 (midlaner carry). U can also stacking ur ancient if ur pos 3 have bad lanning phase, they can recover latter. Buy support item first, like arcane boot , rod of atos, force staff or eul can really have impact in game. Anyway good luck.
Hey thanks a lot for checking the video out and giving some great advice! I've been learning a lot since this game and have a better understanding of the support role!
It wasn't. You can clearly see that his Hoodwink is level 2 in the draft phase. Also his KOTL is 2nd level, and Invoker with Troll warlord is first level
Yeah it wasn't technically my first every dota game. I played a few times a long time ago sporadically when a friend would try to get me to play dota instead of League. But I never got into it, and each time the map changed. Last summer was the first time I really took it seriously and decided to do a bunch of research and actually learn the game. I definitely still feed repeatedly sometimes!!
You must have been working on the video for weeks, maybe months... The clips are pretty outdated already, but you get the idea, I suppose. Your 10+ years are showing, including the minimap, shop, death summary, etc. - being swapped. Bad habbits die hard, I guess. I strongly recommend playing againts insane AI bots, or even in demo. Being overwhelmed is not a good learning experience.
Haha yeah, I'm just so used to the way the UI looks that I'm way more comfortable with it switched. After jumping into the deep end and playing a ton, I've gotten way more comfortable nowadays!
man you got a new fan going to watch your content also try gleipnir on hood i dont know if it writen on the acorn description but it triggers orb effects so it can trigger chain lightning also its a nice way to set up your stun and ulti oh about hitting ulti you dont have to max it out what most players do is after the stun ended fire your ulti so it doesnt give them time do dodge if you want to try a combo on hoodwink use acorn stun ulti while ulti is channeling use gleipnir to hold and fire max damage ulti Good luck with your next game
Hey crazyace91, thanks for the kind words and advice! Yeah, something I keep forgetting while playing Hoodwink is that I can cast Q and W while in Ult!! Also, after I wisened up and realized how great Glepnir is on Hoodwink I definitely build it every time when I can :)
Ana - one of the best dota players in history said "I mean I don't even know wtf is going on, I can't even see my hero." So if you don't know what's happening, it's not just a beginner thing
Hey usamaali736, great to see you again in the comment section! Thank you so much for coming back and checking out my videos. Appreciate the sub and support immensely! See you in the next one!
for a new player you are doing really well, especially your skill usage, i guess that comes from the league experience. probably the hardest thing to learn now is all the items and all hero skills and abilities, if you want to torture yourself xd
Oh I have about 2k hours put into dota and probably still a bit bad with some heroes(can only play few supports cause I mostly play carry) ... Hoodwink is one of them and it's surprising to me how good and orderly you played it, being in teamfights and having a role.
Hah, another new player who also started with Hoodwink as I did! She is a great choice a pretty versatile hero that is and awesome support, but can also scale up into a secondary carry in late game with right items. Your item choices on the start feel really strange for me(honestly, I haven't figured out how useful the blight stone is honestly, even though it is recommended by some). I usually go for early mana items( like on the start buy that purple mask for 0.7 mana, and then into arcane boots), and it can be seen that you really struggled with mana early game. Hoodwink has strong spells for early game, so having enough mana is essential for her. If you/your team mate get killed too often, you should buy Force staff or Glimmer cape to save either yourself or your mate out of bad situation. For example, in this situation 5:14 when huskar jumped on you(lets ignore Pudge hooking him back), you could use force staff to push yourself and break distance, or glimmer to become invisible. Otherwise, if not for Pudge's hook, he would have killed you. If your team does not really require saves and you have some few peacefull minutes, go Maelstorm - it significantly boosts your acorn shot and allows you to farm creeps/ancients very fast, which means you can gather gold much faster for everything else, and in late game you can upgrade it into a Glepnier, which can root an entire group of enemies and make them an easy immobile target for your tree+bushwack combo. If you still do not feel save, you can buy Aether lense, to make yourself cast abilities from even further and safer distance. If you get jumped and killed VERY fast (we are talking about 2-3 seconds) with high alpha damage and/or a bunch of debuffs/slows that make you unable to escape , get yourself Aeon disk - it makes you invulnerable for like a second after you are below 70% hp and dispels most negative effects, but during this invulnerability you can't attack either(shouldn't be a problem if you are support). Also about planting a tree - if you press right click on the acorn shot ability, it will go into alternative mode, where it will ALWAYS plant a tree, even if you click right on the hero. Also, another important thing about acorn shot - everything(at least I think so) that boosts/affects your base attack works on acorn shot too, like maelstorm would make acorn shot have a chance to start a chain lighning, slow down from Eye of Scadi works on every hit of acorn shot too, same for blight stone/corrosion orb/Desolator, additional crit chance from Daedalus, etc. Hoodwink is an awesome hero with strong crowd control and mobility, that allows you to run around the map and suddenly help out in different fights. If you get yourself Glepnier + Orchid Malevolence/Heavens Halbert/Scythe of Vyse, you become and extremely obnoxious hero that can straight up disable almost any enemy hero from the fight, but with how squishy your are, you usually become the target number one, which means you have to be extremely careful with your positioning. For as long as enemies can't reach you, you become their nightmare, and this is what you should try and learn to do.
Thanks a bunch for the detailed advice and feedback! I really appreciate it. When you play as a Pos 4, what's the best way to get gold in the match without getting in the way of your carries pos 1/2/3? I don't want to take farm or resources away from teammates, but in a lot of my normal all pick matches people don't really farm the camps or push waves, so I end up taking a lot of them (which I don't mind at all because I get to build expensive items!) I ask this for the future because I would like to know the "proper" way to play Dota 2.
@@yoncreator Well, I don't really play by a strict plan or anything, but I am gonna try and tell how it feels I am doing it. So, as a position 4, you technically have "right" to farm creeps together with your carry( position 5 is the one that gives everything to their carry and just constantly walks with them), so you can talk this out with your team mate. Usually, I get plenty of gold from kills/assist in early game, but if you can't secure such at that moment, just take any opportunity to get gold that your carry can not use. For example, if you see that he can't kill some creep in time before it dies - kill it yourself. If you see your carry is away for some reason, farm the creeps. If you see that your carry is all fine on the lane by himself, you can farm ancients. If you see your carry can stay fine alone for around 30 seconds, go get gold runes on the sides. If you see your carry can do fine by himself for a minute or 2, you can go through the portal and try to gang somebody on the other lane( could be mid too.) After laning phase is ended, I just walk around the map and farm creeps/ancients if I see that none of my teammates need help, nobody of my teammates are attacking(if they do, you better be with them, since you can save them or catch enemies with bushwack), there are no targets to gang and none of the carries are around to take those creeps/ancients instead. If you have enough vision, courage, save tools and/or map control, you can steal anicents from enemy's side( double win, since you both deny enemy getting them, and you are not taking away from your team mates), but you gotta do it carefully. If your team is doing fine and there is no need in any particular item (like Orchid Malevolence to silence some annoying/dangerous hero, or force staff/glimmer to get your team mates out of problems), get Maelstorm first. With Maelstorm, you can clear out almost any creep wave/ancient camp with a single acorn shot. Hell you can even run into enemy's forest and clear out 2 out of 3 camps there in a matter of 4-5 seconds - acorn shot into one camp, bushwack into another, finish off survivors and run away with free gold. With such kill speed bonus, Maelstorm allows you to safely clear out creep waves even far away from the team mates (For example, lets say you are far from the team and there is a creep wave deep inside enemy's territory, somewhere between their T1 and T2. You shouldn't stick around there in vision of enemy's creeps for long, since enemies could easily gang you there. Maelstorm allows you to clear any creep wave in 3 seconds and safely run away before anybody could come here.) One awesome thing about Hoodwink, is that unlike many other supports, she can actually scale up pretty well with farm into a secondary core/carry(for as long as your team has heroes to protect her form being focused instantly). if you see that your carry isn't doing well/doesn't know how to play well, just start farming for yourself. Overall conclusion - take any farm that your team mate can not/does not. Hoodwink scales really well with good items and you need it.
If you're starting fresh on a hero I would recommend that you follow an item guide as that will help make your game feel a bit smoother. Half of this game is learning when to build what.
Worst move you can do when you're learning DotA2, hop on a turbo match. Turbo is the worst place for noobs and newbies to learn how to play the game. If you're a noob or newbie to the game, always play either Ranked or Normal as you'll get queued with players of your same skill set and DO NOT queue on Turbo or Ability Draft as that's a game mode for Advanced Players (meaning players who have actually mastered the game on all heroes and their skills as well as knowing beyond the basic gameplay of the game). It is in the description of the game modes. Normal and Ranked helps you learn the game at a good pace while jumping into Turbo when you're learning is so bad that even if you died a few times, the gap on exp and gold is huge and will be hard to catch up unless the other team makes mistakes. In Turbo, you get matched with Advanced Players hence you will definitely be bullied when you're a noob or newbie. Only idiots who are noobs think that, "it's only Turbo" and gets wrecked on it then blames their team when they themselves aren't good enough. Once again, NOOBS = Normal/Ranked, ADVANCED PLAYERS = Turbo/Ability Draft.
Thanks for the advice! I noticed what you mean about Turbo. I've played a lot of normal all pick and even got the minimum play time requirement to play ranked! I enjoy all pick / ranked more than turbo, for sure.
@@xdplayah ahahaha very true. But you're missing the main point of OP's comment. It is the worst place to learn dota2. Turbo is for the oldies still wanting to play dota 2, but not have time to hop on a 30 -60 minute game. Thats me btw. Turbo mechanics are a bit different in terms of gold, experience and priorities. So it is way better to play dota 2 in normal/ ranked if you truly want to learn and play the game properly.
@@rattango9819 there are plenty of people who just dont want to learn the game and prefer fast paced/no brains gameplay where every fight fully reverses game's outcome.
Looks pretty good imo. Your build is a little weird since you were kinda building support AND carry items. Ps if your up against any of the highly mobile spirit heroes like ember spirit Rod of Atos which builds into gleipnir are VERY good item choices to root them and keep them in a spot
@@yoncreator Back in the old days of Dota 2 (around 2013), the worst thing which could happen was getting Fountain Hooked by Pudge i.e. getting hooked directly to enemy fountain/base and dying there for sure almost instantly. It happened to me once in pubs and I was confused what happened to me. Then I found out and felt disgusted about it. A famous example of a Pro team doing this strat is the match Na'Vi vs TongFu Upper Bracket Semifinals Game 3 of The International 2013.
Dota has the best skins. Love that you can mix and match skins aswell. Only bad thing about it is that playing other games with cosmetics is underwhelming :D
Good content and easy sub from me. Youve got some good instincts, probably coming from league. Your itemization in this game is a little goofy (but there's a mountain of items in Dota and will take a while to learn them all). Veil of Discord for instance is wasted gold on you (I think the primal beast had a shiva's guard (upgraded Veil). Veil also eminates from the hero casting it, making it better for heroes that are going to be in the front or bait enemies into jumping onto them. If you really like support (I am a hard support player myself), aura and steroid items will win you games, even if your own damage isn't there. You will win a lot of games just by making yourself slippery, and steroiding your carry. Drums, Solar Crest, Force Staff, Glimmer Cape, Lotus Orb. You really can build these on any support hero and win games.
Honestly I find Marci cutest hero in entire game, even without skins she is absolutely beautiful ❤ Yon, can you play path of exile for first time? Like genuinely, even better,make series where you try to complete acts, it would be awesome and at some point you may really like the game after all 😅
Hey Gamexile, thanks for watching the video and the comment! Thanks for the rec! I may explore Path of Exile at some point in the future to give it a try, but no concrete plans yet in the immediate future!
Good play, actually! Hoodwink is kinda squishy against that gang of thugs, but you lived. Also, tactically speaking, Sheepstick is a crucial pick, both for keeping you alive and playing against Ember and Huskar.
I had to look up what "sheepstick" was and I realize it's Scythe of Vyse! I love that item, and I wanna build it every time I can. Too bad it turns them into pigs instead of sheeps in dota 2 though :(
Gelphnir is a more reasonable option on wink imo, the maelstrom acceleates your farm, the longer range lets you catch people and then walk closer to bushwack, and its cheaper. In turbo if you're getting dove a bunch, the scythe is good, but in a regular game you will not have the money until really late
Honestly I think you're doing good. You just need more game knowledge like what each heroes does and what their roles are. You remember to use active items which is a big plus since League doesn't have a lot of active items. Edit: I'd like to hear more of your commentary about the mechanics, like what you think makes it different from League.
Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate the specific comment about the mechanics commentary. I'll definitely try to include more of it in future episodes! Hope to see you in the next video!
potentially too little too late, but it looks like you use the "aim at their feet" league idea for skillshots but you don't have to do that in dota because the terrain is actual terrain that purposefully effects things in the game - skill shots remain in a straight line when going up, down or over terrain unlike in league where it just becomes warped
I find it so funny watching you play. You have all the skill to actually play the game, yet you still have no fucking clue what you're doing or what's going on lmao well played my dude and good luck with your dota journey!
That huskar go back cuz he has map on left bpttom, whilw he runing probably misslciked righttop and as for hw, just need glepnier and deadlus and spam w e to win
you did great. next time keep in mind that the items on your backpack dont give you the stats and effect so you need to strategize what you want to put on your item slots.
Thank you for the comment and the advice! Yeah putting items in and out of backpack is a whole new tech I never knew... I learned pros even swap items when using regen items to maximize the effectiveness of bottle.. so crazy!
it surely is overwhelming at the start hope that you are able to also enjoy yourself and keep playing n enjoying the game I feel its best enjoyed with friends so if possible try to get some party games but all the best
Thanks! Sometimes Dota does feel a bit clunky in comparison to League in terms of timing and ability cast windows. I struggled with that a lot, but after playing a few hundred hours of Dota I got used to it for the most part nowadays!
You asked about thoughts 2:35 that's why it's good to get iron branch as a Hoodwink so you can just plant a tree and then throw your second spell. people often take Q first since it slows people 2:46 he probably realised that he's dead since he's in a range of PB attack. or just a missclick. we'll never know the truth. 3:00 you dont have to click every item in your quick purchase slot, just RMB on the item to buy everything you need 4:22 you dont have to charge your ult to do a lot of damage, actually full damage comes after 3 second i think, and in this case you just needed like 2 sec to kill Pudge 4:37-4:46 use your stick, use your stick, USE YOUR STICK 5:08 almost clean kill 5:48 if you have hex you should engage with hex first since Q-W combo can be easily denied by bkb. especially in this case - hex instantly kills illusions 6:20 badrrrrr aim. good try tho 6:27 you can use items btw while aiming with ulti, in this case you had hex off cooldown right when your W ended 6:37 nice catch 7:08 nice catch, but use your hex with boomerang and veil of discord and then ulti 7:32 good catch 8:04 again, hex first Anyway, welcome to dota!
Alt hover over abilities to sometimes learn more. You can right click your Q to make it always create a tree for -1 bounce so stuns are easier. You did quite well for a first real game.
2:44 Classic left side map player. I've not died once of missclicks since I swapped the map to the right side. RIP to all my former keyboards before that.
i would recomennd to play a bit more easy heros that are not suports cause supps are more harder. Some like Phantom assassin, juggernaut, dragon knight
Turbo is a hell hole. But valiant effort. Rather go into nomal games where farm speeds are slower so you can adjust to the game. Veil of discord on Hoodie is a novel idea sadly with her abilities generally being long range it isnt ideal. You aghs shard does a similar thing lowering magic resist if only on one target if i am not mistaken. Also PB tends to desrtoy trees with most of his abilities meaning you don't get maximum stun of bushwack. But with a little coordination its a very nice lane.
also veil ss activateable. not sure if you activated it in game. It lowers magic resistance of all heroes in an AOE making your spells do extra damage. And now builds into Shiva's Gaurd which is a nice item to deal with Huskar as it reduces healing and attack speed. Also Scyth of Vise automatically destroys illusions so you would have known it was a huskar illusion before droping all your cool downs.
Thanks so much for the guidance! Yeah after a few turbo games I realized that the pacing of the game isn't for me. I like normal all pick much better! Also yeah, the amount of active items in Dota compared to League is crazy!
Haha thank you, I talked about how overwhelmed I was so many times in this video LOL. I was thinking about cutting some of them out during editing, but I felt like it was more authentic to leave them in because I was actually super confused
Learn what pos1-5 is, what comps are viable. Then learn items and spells and how they work. Use your boomerang first for the debuff. Break is great to stop huskar’s insane regen and atk spd as it removes his passive for the duration. And black king bar makes you debuff immune but doesn’t dispel them so if you apply them before you’re good to go.
To clarify, break is applied from your lvl 6 ultimate not the boomerang. Boomerang is magic resist debuff I believe? Also try the aghanim sceptre ability as it’s very good to help you get away.
Jhin is played as a ADC (attack damage carry) which is equivalent to Position 1 in Dota. So Jhin is different role than Hoodwink because I know now that she's played more as a Pos 4. I think I personally play well as Pos 1, but I like playing Pos 4 or 5 more because I get to do more stuff around the map as opposed to farming optimally!
I have noticed new players from league really do not use items often, are league items non-active or just not as important? A few times in laning stage you had a big ole stick and veil, and it was never used. (albeit, being overwhelmed can make you forget that kind of stuff!)
Yeah it was last summer, so the footage is from LONG time ago, but it is chronologically when I started seriously learning Dota so the first episode is a blast from the past. Thank you for watching!
For a new DotA player, you're understanding of the game is already quite decent, and the fact that you ACTUALLY STUDIED WHAT YOUR CHARACTER IS MENT TO DO? Fantastic. The reason why most people quit DotA on their first playthrough is because they think of it like their just going to be playing another PC game, but it's really like learning Chess.
you are playing very well dude, u really just need field experience to understand abilities and ranges, but league is a very good teacher to micro and macro so u got the good stuff on u
Some things will confuse you; if it’s early enough into the game, like before or just after bounties and you get really hurt like huskar did, it’s better to die and get full resources back rather than attempt to sit in lane on 10% hp. You give up a bit of cash but have the chance to make it back by being able to play the lane properly. Honestly you did well. Hoodwink isn’t the easiest to get the hang of and as a completely new player I think you did fantastic. 👍🏻
As someone who was introduced to Dota 1 by my boyfriend- now my husband, and is still playing Dota 2 up to now, this shizz is cute and rly entertaining. 😂 I remember how i used to play before. 😂😅🤣 So relatable.
Just happened to tune into your video, hope you're still playing! For the first match you actually landed some good skills, I think your experience with LoL helped for sure. Hope to see more learning content in the future, plus enjoyed the editing.
all the items are wrong for hood ... u want maelstrom into gleipnir ... the maelstrom procs with your acorn shots to give you the lighting bounces... and gleip is a good upgrade on the maelstrom for more control next items are probably something like Daedalus (for crit procs with your acorns) or pike (for attack distance being able to either close gaps or open gaps) late game can be skadi/bkb/windwaker/aghs depending on situation (whether u need more control or kiting) hood is the kind of support hero that can transition into high damage core ... the items I mentioned kinda reflect that
since positioning is so diff between the games I think your doing well, just need to adjust to pacing and actions people take. ex no junglers, it's probs gonna be the pos4 suport coming to kill someone. But that huskar chase, was good maybe a bit hasty as you had no vision of enemies and could have overextended easily but the other players have a hard time learning it too if they don't realise Keep up maybe we'll see each other in game
I can see that you're skilled at MOBAs, just a little lost - learn a position, learn 3 - 5 heroes in that position then try to use that to learn the momentum of the game and what other heroes do in lane. I'd also suggest spectating some high rank games to get an idea of how the heroes should be played.
Awesome thank you so much for the advice! Yeah, my biggest struggle is just the amount of information I still don't fully grasp including every hero's facet + innate + abilities + item interactions. Still struggle to differentiate between what I can BKB and what abilities I can't :(
@@yoncreator Understanding the difference between dispels in dota 2 is key later, but first learn your position. :) 1. Hard carry 2. Mid lane 3. Offlane 4. Roaming support 5. Hard Support All are great and vital to the win. You could try the A to Z hero challenge, if you're feeling spicey... a good way to learn quick.
well you did great you disabled and made opportunity I did see you want to kill steal some but that's fine I give you a 73/100 above average if this is your first match of dota
