Hey guys, I just want to say I'm really grateful if you're reading this.
Introduction: (Skip if you want)
I started playing Dota 1 when it first came out and have been playing a lot throughout its life. After Dota 2 started, I really wanted to play, but my computer was always really ****py so I just play Dota 1. 2 Years ago, my computer was utterly destroyed from overheat (It shut down as I was trying to play Dota 2 and it never started up again). I didn't have enough money at the time to buy a new computer so my girlfriend buys me.... A MACBOOK. As you can see, I had no way to play anything, so I started to save up to buy my own desk top. I have finally saved enough money to build an excellent computer about 3 days ago on June 22nd, and finally got my casual Dota 2 career started. I am now finally able to play an upgraded version of the game I love.
Skill level and What I am Looking For:
I am below average with a majority of the heroes. I am average to a little above average for some heroes like Puck. My favorite hero is Shadow Fiend, but I am below average to average, maybe a little above average in some games with him. I am looking for someone with 3.5K+ MMR or pretty skilled to mentor me on SF as well as just general game knowledge.
I have played about 15-20 games on my old steam account before I just started a new account just to get a correct MMR. So far, I have 5 games on the new account, for a total of 25-ish games. I can show both accounts on DotaBuff if you want to look at it.
Anyway, I once again thank you for taking your time to read and consider mentoring me. Otherwise, Have Fun Dota-ing
That's basically nothing - unless you mean with SF the Hero, in which case it's still nothing. I have that many, and I'm a relentless filthy TB picker.
Hate to be that guy, but practice makes perfect. Just play, play, play.
There are two kinds of people in the world; those who can count, and those who can't.
Yes but with someone to correct my mistakes and tell me what to do, I'd progress much much faster. And I mean 25 games total since I built my computer.
I would love to have you coach me, I checked out your Dotabuff, and I'm curious, do you usually play support? I would also like to learn some support too.
I can give you a few quick tips about most of the heroes, don't really have time to coach you through an entire game.
About SF, looking at your dotabuff games, most of the games you won you had about 300-400 last hits in 45-60 min games, which is okay.
If you aren't doing this, push out the mid lane at about xx:40, go to the jungle and stack your large camp.
Blink isn't always the best option, if the enemy has a lot of DOT dmg and heroes that can cancel your blink from a huge distance. If you are snowballing silver edge is a great option and will let you snowball even more by 2-3 shotting supports.
The most popular item that pro SF's buy is mekanism. However, in pubs it's hard to organise early pushes with the mek, so I only recommend that one if your team 100% agrees on early pushes.
In lane, especially vs meele heroes try to go for a kill. At lvl 7-8 the 3 shadowraze combo does insane dmg. It's harder to pull of on a ranged hero but if they are out of position kill them.
And for last is something you probably already do but w/e. If you start chanelling your requim, but enemies get away, you can always stop it with the stop key (for me it's S).
Not much of a SF player but I hope you can use some of these.
I would love to have you coach me, I checked out your Dotabuff, and I'm curious, do you usually play support? I would also like to learn some support too.
I love supporting! I don't get the chance to support often (since my stack requires me to go mid/offlane/safelane carry), but i do know how to support.
