How to last hit like a pro?

@dmnRO: I would first like to say that you did offend me, more than once(I'm going to ignore your raging). But thats not why I am replying right now.

By saying this you're contradicting the whole definition of the word "opinion", meaning a person's viewpoint.




I simply do not care if you think my opinion is good or not, it's not for you. But, you are right, that on here we are both a "nobody". So, why do you think what you have to say is any more important than what I have to say. This forum is meant to help people, most of the things posted are opinions, but it's for the reader to decide whether they agree with them or not. After all it's for their benefit to make their own mind up.

I simply gave my opinion on your first post, and we both overreacted since.

I would like this little feud to stop, it's not helping anyone.

@Whated: I do not have the time nor do I care what trolls think, you are not helping.

1.Auto-attack off (It's in options, gameplay, I believe.)

2.Learn your animation (Get to know the time it takes between hitting and moving to hit)

3.Either S abuse or click back and forth before hitting (to keep your mind aware and time hits)

4.PRACTICE (you don't get anywhere just wishing to be good)

Thanks alot man this additional key spamming is exhausting

agree with dmnRO
Iratesniper is too sensitive, dmnRO didnt offend u

Also, u made a statement and then tries to play safe
u said "it is cheating to me", and then u say "i just stated my opinion" << everyone states their opinion

"Just because you may think this is a good idea, doesn't mean everyone else does." << and vice versa lol

Debate is not like that
off topic, stops here

Thanks for dmnRO for the script

So, on the note of last hitting,

is it just me, or are some types of heroes just outright better at it?

Watching matches and playing them myself, one thing I notice in particular is that some heroes, usually carries, seem to do the last-hitting much, much easier than my support guys; they'll do more damage per auto-attack hit, so they seem to have a wider margin for error, if that's the right phrase to use there. They dont seem to have to be quite as bloody perfect with the timing as some other heroes do.


Also, as a support hero, how much should I be trying to do this? I do know that I need to let the carry have alot of farm; but obviously even the most support-tastic hero still needs SOME gold.

Though I still have trouble with the timing and all, so I usually dont have too many last-hits in a given match.

Yes, damage does matter to last hit, but the attack animation also does, let's compare Pudge's attack animation, which is great for last hitting, with Crystal Maiden's, which is pretty hard to time.
Also, as a support, you don't need much farm, your gold will be earned from assists mostly.

Ok, here's another question on the topic of last-hitting and farming: Should skills be used to aid in this at all? Like smacking creeps with, I dunno, fireballs or whatever you happen to have. This is something that I'll see some players do, but others seem to not do it at all.

It's to maximize the amount of farm they can get if they couldn't go last hit it themselves, like if I was Windrunner up against Crystal Maiden and Juggernaut. I'd use Powershot to secure at least 2 creeps and that would probably be my farm for that wave unless they're not being very aggressive.

That's it, maximizing farm

Ahh, ok, that makes alot more sense then, thanks. So far, if I'm messing with a hero that does need farm, and my opponent was doing alot of harassing, I tended to just stand back and do a whole lot of nothing while hoping for a chance to get in range of the creeps. I'll try keeping that bit in mind though, and do that instead in that situation.

just read all the replys was having same dang problem thanks dudes!
