New Guide Suggestions

Hi guys, got some time to start working on a new guide again...I was going to put up some thoughts for voting but last time the suggestions were waaaay better than anything I came up with so...what would YOU like to read about next?

The New Broodmother Guide :P

How to counter rat dota guide

Might take a bit more time but a guide to Earth Spirit is definitely needed.

He's a really powerful hero that very few people can use well now, and unlike Ember Spirit who is relatively easy to play, his playstyle is really complex.

That or you could do the support Tusk guide mentioned last time.

Thanks for the replies guys -

- I'm not a great Brood player

- Rat DOTA - ban Nature's Prophet, Lone Druid and Phantom Lancer, or pick some good anti-split pushers/gankers who can kill NP. Failing that, refuse to watch pro DOTA anymore due to boredom, wait for sponsorships to dry up and teams will be forced to do something interesting instead.

- Afraid I don't know Earth Spirit at all (never played DOTA1), maybe once I've played him for a while might be able to supply something useful :)

Keep em coming!

A full carry guide, just like your support guide. While your pick carry guide was nice, I don't feel like it's not enough :p Maybe also explain some carries more in depth, since I see you mostly just have support guides, I guess you like those heroes xD

Well... Tinker is a carry :). I love playing him these days! Yeah I play supports more than anything else (mainly for team balance more than strict preference), and you only want to write guides where you have some experience that will be useful and up to standard.

For carries I did one ages - Playing Carry - The Basics - is that kind of what you meant?

I know you've covered a lot to do with Supporting, but perhaps "A Guide to Surviving on Barely Anything as a Hard Support". I see plenty of Support Players running out of Mana or spending Gold on Items for their Hero rather than Wards. They can never seem to handle starting with just a set of Tangoes and a Clarity.

It could cover the following:-

- Pulling and Stacking: When and How (Lane and Ancients)
- Mana Management: Saving it for when you REALLY need it
- Harrassment vs Ganking vs Warding vs Stacking vs Farming: When you should be doing what?
- Reliable Gold and Buybacks
- Useful Items for the Team, not You:( Urn of Shadows vs Bracer, etc.)
- etc.

I think I know how to do these things, but I'm never sure if or how I'm doing them XD so it would benefit me too 8)

Great idea samukobo, a support Tusk would be an excellent choice. You practised it at all since last thread like this? :p
Assuming no on Tusk, a guide on the new Earth Spirit would be good as I don't really have a clue what are good combos for his skills and items to get for him. Is he an exclusively mid hero?

Pugna support/mid guide would be nice as he has been seen a lot in pro recently and I want to learn how to play this guy effectively.

Finally, I've heard support Clockwerk is possible, not sure if this is true but if it is I haven't seen a guide for a support Clockwerk yet.
