Seems a little peculiar, although your saying that you cant get kills on them, they go back to base when theyre low. THis is generally something to do in regular play if you have no good hp regeneration items

what heroes are you playing as, because we could narrow down the field of possibilities!

what he said

the first minutes of the game especially tend to be really slow, unless youre playing someone really agressive who needs lots of kills really really fast and generally speaking thats not going to happen right away either most heroes need a few levels to get going!

Yeah, the thing with being over agressive is that sometimes it ends up just not working out, you really need the help of people to coordinate ganks, most heroes cant just solo other heroes without a decent amount of farm or the right set of skills.

Yeah that would definately make a difference!

QWERDF for my abilities 123456 for my items, tab for to move between my units

i never have to move my hand its so comfortable and ive gotten so used to it so i dont even have to think about it, like i even like putting certain items on certain numbers ive gotten that comfortable and adept with my setup

What Alv said.

Some newer player friendly gankers id recommend include : Viper, Lion, lina, or even queen of pain. some of these guys and gals are supports, Queen of pain can mid, viper can go anywhere too. So really gankers can be anyone, and they can go anywhere too! of course every hero is going to take some practice and getting used to their moves but maybe this little bucket list can give you some ideas to play around with, you can always ask around here too, theres so many people who are willing to help you improve~!

Man up and play w/o a center haha

Or xXxDickSwagxXx, big monster that dude is.

When you play on hard they dont do that, i do also recommend playing on hard even from the start, you get the feel for alot of different aspects of the game, especially some of the different items and abilities in the game too. a big other thing that they do is they will punish you a little bit if you move out too far in the open. this kind of hints at the fact that its a bad thing to be caught out in the open. but a few games on easy or medium definately help out alot especially since the slow pace of the game helps you sort of ease your way into the fast paced beast that is DotA

Yeah haha, im just rustling your jimmies

im just too lazy to set something like that up, the time it would take me to figure it out, i could have played a game

I'll throw some stuff together, maybe dust off some of the old guides i wrote back in the day and update them.

Dotabuffs saying that 1/4 of the player population is platinum. So is this suggesting that the average dota player is mid skilled leaning towards above average ?

Jungle BeastMaster might just make its return

Welcome! you should hop onto teamspeak for some superhappyfuntimes!

PLATINUM BEOTCH~! dota buff skill brackets are live

Gold league scrub ; )

im pretty jealous, i didnt get a cool # for my rating, just a high #

Yeah theres better long laners, especially since timber still needs a bunch of levels to be effective

What happened to my link... WHERE DID IT GO

They were monetizing public information being published by valve, plus they didnt have any privacy settings so it was bound to happen. they were asking for it really.

Alot of times yes, but if the other teams got a good support, he'll be stacking pulling, pulling the camp just below the river into the pull camp to kill the wave completely etc. thats why you'd NEED a ward to block the pull, otherwise you'll get ALOT less than you'd normally be. Like ill offlane and ill be maybe level 2 when theyre level 5 level 6.
