No need. :) You explained really well and speed is perfect too.

One of the main problem I face is have to focus on soooo many different things. Creeps low health, harassing, watch mini maps for ganks. I get anxiety. XD

no need, this is too good

the tempo is perfect man! I have been playing it wrong for years! thank you

*assuming you're an experienced player*.

what do you mean autopilot mode? Is that good or bad?

@@reiokimura6519It’s bad since you don’t think about match-up or timings; and end up losing lane and early game.

​@@xnitron6739 it's not always bad. Though you're playing based on instinct and muscle memory, there are instances where your experience as a player makes your instinct more reliable than overthinking a situation.

2.8k mmr mid player? My food

if staying 2.8k I suggest trying another role, it may fit you better. Mid is the easiest lane to play and if you cant climb from there, perhaps youre better on another position.

@@johnflorence2672 7k mmr now :) mostly mid safe and off

you wlll be 2k all your life with your attitude ez

Hey, thanks for the feedback. My schedule right now does not allow me the time to release videos on a frequent basis but there are many videos which I have in mind that are bound to come sometime in the future. Look out for those, thanks!

Hi bro, what the other videos were probably trying to say is if there was a last hit vs a harass, 9/10 of the time you would probably want to take the last hit before harassing the opponent. This is however, very case-by-case basis because if taking that creep meant giving up a ton of damage through harass, then the harass would probably be more worth it. But if giving up a creep only meant little harass on the enemy, then the creep would be more worth it. The best scenario is always to secure creeps and hit the enemy hero with an AOE spell at the same time to maximize spell casting and CS efficiency at the same time. The other Midlane video I created recently will probably show this way better, so do watch that video to understand further.

Hey, the ideal scenario would always to play as close to your side of the lane as possible. If your enemy is chasing you down then you are forced to drag the wave past the tower to hold it between your two towers instead. If he isn't running you down then you should be making the 'U shape' to hold the lane for your wave to meet.

This is EpicPen

Thanks bro, been doing well. Glad the algorithm got to you!

Hi, pre 2 mins bottle will always be priority in lane if you are using a hero that depends on spells to lane.

Hi, laning objective is always the same. Get more resources than enemy, harass them by setting up favorable scenarios to punish using creep aggro, identify who's stronger and weaker and how to act accordingly.

@@BalloonDota Ohh i see, thank you for replying!

Yes, creep aggro unless you have advantage to trade, meaning you want to hit the enemy hero.

The idea is about who's stronger than the opposition. As long as you will win a trade, you will almost always give up the other priorities like denying, aggroing and last hitting to trade the enemy unless you can use spells to secure last hits and trade at the same time which is the most efficient way to trade. This concept is called playing for 'contested creeps' to bait out the enemy so you create an earlier advantage to trade.

Hi, that's because creep aggro duration only lasts for 2.3 seconds. After that, it will stop chasing you. You need to attack the creep for it to chase after you still as the creep is about to turn back after aggro for it to stay on you, or you need to reaggro again after the cooldown ends.

Thx bro

Hello, thank you for the kind words. This software is called EpicPen

Hi, its OBS software

@@BalloonDota Oh really? I've had OBS for a while and I did not know that OBS can do those presentation like yellow arrows. Good to know. Thank you!

@@BGLoscar Sorry I meant EpicPen, not OBS. OBS is to record, epicpen is to draw.

If I try to get the range the rest go into my tower

Hello, the melee creeps will only hit you if you put yourself within aggro range of the creeps, specifically in front of them and issue an attack command on the enemy. Whether or not you are able to secure the creep depends on many more factors such as heroes, positioning to creeps, health etc

@@Imperious123 you can get the range and still pull the melee creeps to you by aggroing them with issuing an attack command on the enemy hero

You must likely attacked the ground which causes your hero to target the closest unit to you instead.

Hey, WR's powershot would one shot ember's flame guard easily in the early lvl 1-3. The only way ember would win this is if wr doesn't hit him at all and just keeps hitting creeps, not using spells on the guy and allowing ember to run into her face and somehow just stands there. Perhaps what you might be describing here is underplaying yourself as wr or you just got outplayed by a good ember player.

Hi, I will be making a 1v1 series some time down the road where I will be looking for volunteers to teach them 1v1 and post these on the channel. Keep a lookout for that! :)

Please do this

Pick me please 🥺

@@BalloonDota pick me please im around 1k mmr :D :D

Will work on this in the coming days, probably by weekend will release. Thanks for the recommendation!

@@BalloonDota good shit, i'll waiting for that

hes actually teaching you how to handle early creep wave by giving opponent pressure also. With your playstyle you prob gonna only have 50 50 lane most of the time, or even giving the opponent hero opportunity to hit their level spike easily.

@@ryoshi04 Well I'm pretty sure i already kind of do this subconciously but only slightly less aggressive. I just found the item builds to be unrealistic on current patch.

Hi, to explain further on this, Windranger with a blight stone into a melee hero makes it so that she can keep poking without ever getting poked back which can add in a lot of initial harass into the lane. Similar to how Mirana and Hoodwink can do the same thing because of how they can abuse melee heroes without getting hit to further push every trade's advantage. mThe thing about bottle is if you save for bottle, the chances of you dominating the lane is going to fall significantly if by the time you hit that bottle, you had done minimal or suboptimal harass to the opponent. Like mentioned in the video, the lane is easily decided by level 1-2 in the first four waves. IF you are able to pull the enemy in and push them out all the time with favorable trades, simply sending out a salve and some mangoes with full health full mana when the enemy is stuck with below half health will significantly win you the lane almost immediately regardless of whether or not you have that early bottle which could in fact even delay the trading advantage you would have in lane if you wait too late.

I am not advocating for forcing trades, I am simply teaching you to identify favorable trades, to recover immediately after instead of waiting for the bottle which will make you recover too slow and lose advantage. Perhaps what you are referring to is more of playing for CS, trading off VERY obvious spell casts and mispositions without much punishment and waiting for the bottle to come slowly at prior minute 2. However, I can guarantee you that if you play against a very good mid laner, you will not have that time to buy the bottle because of how much recovery is necessary to simply just sit in lane and take creeps. I hope that helps. :)

@@ryoshi04 Thank you for explaining this!

If melee vs melee, usually we will trade whenever spell is up from either side. Of course, this is still going to be dependent on power spikes of the match up. If enemy hero is in your face, then you will mostly right click them and throw spell to trade. If range vs range, this is more about making the enemy ranged hero walk in to take a creep, then you will need to try and trade the enemy without drawing aggro by running out of creep aggro range. It is however, still viable to draw aggro and hit the enemy hero as long as you are doing more damage to the enemy than he is doing to you.

Most of it yes, the only difference is that there are 2 heroes to consider so strengths and weaknesses, punishment can differ

These heroes that are lane dominators often have their power spikes. So, you need to abuse them before they get stronger in lane. For example, Shadow Fiend and Viper at lvl 1-2 is not that dangerous unless SF has 2 razes stacked on you, and 3+ stacks from Viper. Once they hit lvl 3 onwards, that is when the lane gets hard. So, your goal is to try and get as much out of the lane as possible without having sf raze you 3 times (reset raze if already got 2 stacks from SF or 3 stacks from Viper).

@@BalloonDota bro another thing i noticed, that makes my trade very inefficient, is that when im ranged and i hit enemy melee from hg i pull all creeps to me, and to not try to pull them under tower i tank them, and even if i move i take a lot of damage with heroes like invoker, and i lose the harrass even tho the enemy didnt evne hit me once. Creeps keeps attacking me while i spam right click

@@federicocapriotti2180 hey, you need to harass only when you are able to win the trade. That means you should be taking lesser damage, either from the creeps, the enemy hero or both so you need to know how to hit without getting hit, or hit and get hit but still do more damage. I will make a video soon about how to win most trades in mid, heads up for that

@@BalloonDota bro, ur awesome thank you, i'll wait for the video :)

OD isn't strong at lvl 1 or 2. He starts getting annoying once he reaches lvl 3 and 5 if he plays with astral imprisonment. So the key is to abuse him at lvl 1 and 2 by taking trades that will go your favor.

Creep score

Yes sir, am still doing coaching and playing

Mostly those high MMR player they play party to go high rank not solo with random player started on 3k with those animals...
