      Lmao jacked nice scores

      meteor hammer

        now i feel like ive set him up for failure but honestly i think pas great and isnt she super op in that bracket anyway

        Jacked

          Don't mind those scores. It's what happens when you can't be fkd to tryhard or play Dota properly. Also PA is shit but I'm still learning how to play the hero. I've wasted like 10 games not learning anything and just pressing buttons.

          Jacked

            I still have 0 clue how to lane this hero

            meteor hammer

              stand on ur hg and spam dagger, buy blight

              use creep aggro to get cs, blur 1 + pms means you take less damage from harass

              any rotation is a kill against plenty of mids, especially shit like sf, invoker 1 stun from an ally and theyre toast. at 6/7 you can dive but for a hero like sf you prob. want a raindrop and full hp, and it all depends on who has a level advantage

                i want to try medallion sometime but im not sure when would i buy it
                like straight after phase blight wand (aquila) or so

                Jacked

                  I play PA safelane though

                  Jacked

                    I seem to always do well pa mid against easy heroes like invok sniper. But I'm always over aggressive with positioning because I'm winning and feed because I overestimate her tankiness. But I don't like mid lane so much. It's much harder to get kills on offlaner as a safelane pa though. I've faced way too many timbers lately

                                        if only puck didnt flame pa into abandoning :(

                                        arin

                                          i dunno i reached 4.9 and again im matched with at least one absolutel insufferable teammate that drags entire team into flaming each other

                                          meteor hammer

                                            i tell people to mute each other and play but i dont think it's very effective as far as damage control goes, all i can do besides that is be aggressively positive and convince people we are going to win

                                            yes most dedicated dota players are neurotic as fuck, 4ks in particular because some of them have huge inferiority complexes

                                            arin

                                              idk how to stop dying with tinker when enemy run around the map and actually play dota

                                              Jacked

                                                god when will the flaming stop?

                                                arin

                                                  i suppose i should get rid of this urge to just go and tp somewhere instead of waiting for a while and doing nothing if i dont see anyone on the map

                                                  arin

                                                      Hey guys i miss 2 chrono so im gonna destroy my item cuz we lost anyway :^)

                                                      casual gamer

                                                        to not die as tinker know where they are when theyre in fog xd

                                                        helps if they dont pick cw veno sb visage etc all extremely strong rn

                                                        one syllable anglo-saxon

                                                          how can u know where they are when theyre in fog
                                                          unless u use analytical analysis and deep psycological warfare but there are few who can do it

                                                          casual gamer

                                                            glimpses of where they were before, knowing what they are trying to do

                                                            if you have 1 t1 up and they are ahead they will probably be pushing, if nobody has showed in 3 minutes and they have a cw they are probably waiting on you in the last lane you saw them, if they shove lanes past a cliff they couldve dropped an obs there

                                                            if its 18 minutes in and ta has deso theyre roshing

                                                            the most important fundamental is knowing that if you show on the minimap in a lane they will almost certainly be there between 15 and 30 seconds later, especially in a high mmr game

                                                            as tinker you probably get a handful of free passes where they dont rotate because they dont see ur icon, but then they adjust and will rotate after the first wave you march

                                                            its easy when they only have 1 hero that can kill you, and its something like a vs where she has to wave you and then get close enough to swap and then have help to actually disable and kill you

                                                            what sucks is when its sb+veno+clock where theres 2 people who can disable blink from a huge range and they have 2 ways to get flying vision in trees and 2 long range stuns, and if you show in any teamfight (aka cast missile in fog) and dont blink within 1 second you get hookshotted unless the cw is a mongol

                                                            even worse when they have the long range stuns + viper, march or missile disables your blink after .25s or some shit so basically you cast and then blink immediately, then rearm blink before casting again

                                                              i thought it was impossible for me to understand them with my level of knowledge
                                                              so i never watched pro games

                                                              but if you were to apply a 2 tier counter to a 7-8k pub match
                                                              you'd get a pro match
