In HON we see the game much more focused on ganking and pushing, where as in DOTA2 it seems that most teams pretty much revolve around a single carry farming the entire game while the rest of the team does what they can to prolong and punish the enemy team for that duration.

I was wondering if there has been any real stray from this strategy over the years: I am aware that the general EU strategy is to constantly group up and try to rush enemies while the CN focus on a ranged carry farming the entire game and their allies keep pressure on the enemy team while keeping that carry safe while they free farm as much as possible, by any means.

I may be wrong, but I have been trying my best to follow the professionals these past few weeks to improve my game and see how they operate, what they prioritize and what their picks/bans are. And during that time, my conclusions from it, are all listed above. I was wondering what everyone's opinions were on this and hope to include new Blog updates whenever I can.

tl;dr Testing new Blog system and needed a place to talk out of my ***.
