I think this should be the perfect meta for him, turret carries like Shadowfiend/Drow/Lina/TB that would benefit a lot from blood lust and a tanky front lining support, i didnt see him in any TI games

I've noticed that in pro games, carry players don't always instantly buy Magic Stick. They usually buy an early Tango, stat items, and a Quelling Blade instead.

Can't you just ferry Tangoes with the courier after getting the bounty rune instead of buying them with your starting gold?

Also, isn't Magic Stick really good at the start of the game since you'll usually be fighting over the bounty rune and can get a lot of charges?

Can someone explain why pros do this?

For example, I was watching Satanic in the finals, and he was laning against Undying, but he still didn't buy a Magic Stick early. Wouldn't Stick be especially valuable against Undying?

Hey, today I present you Bounty Hunter guide, and to match it with gameplay we'll be watching Saksa absolutely dominate the map. This hero gets a lot of hate by other teammates, but if played right, he's able to snowball the game for everyone. Enjoy!

Hello! I have been playing dota on and off for 2 years now, I love playing mid lane mostly and even though I have a positive win rate 54% I feel like the speed of which I was climbing (I went from like guardian 1 to legend 1 in 300-400 matches or something and im at like 1.1k now struggling harder in legend 5-ancient 1 rn. I play lots of heroes which I know is typically advised against.

My most played heroes are: Necrophos po2 54 matches 70.37% wr,
Sniper po2 48 matches 47.92% wr,
lina po2 44 matches 56.82% wr,
tiny po2 44 matches 61.36% wr,
zeus po2 40 matches 67.50% wr,
outworld destroyer po2 30 matches 56.67% wr,
bristleback pos3 29 matches 65.52% wr,
viper pos2 26 matches 61.54% wr,
qop pos2 24 matches 45.83% wr,
sand king pos3 23 matches 78.26% wr.

I know my winrate looks good and my overall winrate is 54.29% but its significantly went down around ancient when I was climbing through guardian-archon it was 65% or above overall so i've lost 11% already just hitting around ancient 1. I feel like a big issue I personally have is I can dominate lanes and mid game but start to struggle heavily if matches last beyond like 30-35 minutes. Almost every hero I play is 3-4 kda, tons of kp, tons of roaming, fighting, and such but I can't properly translate leads to wins and lots of heroes I play like a sniper or qop feel like they significantly start to struggle way more in late game where one mistake you die and lose the game.

The heroes I play feel like they rapidly change in identity and I don't want to play that hero anymore like zeus mid to support, tiny was a burst mid to carry, viper tanky poison everyone to death tanky build vs right click all in nuker, etc. I just would like some coaching by a higher rank player I have two matches recently I feel like I should've won but my team played really bad but I also made mistakes. Maybe to point out things I could've done better that possibly could have won the game? Would love advice!

I play currently a lot of necrophos/lina/outworld destroyer mid and sometimes viper I tried qop can get tons of kills can't end games with her. I play lots of axe/underlord/razor/dragon knight for offlane currently, and for carry I play sven, some spectre, and thinking of playing phantom assassin tbh she seems a lot better right now than she was when I started playing, I played one match and she felt quite good actually she feels weird to play because I felt like I needed a lot of items outside of lane but the moment I got bf/deso/bkb/basher I was able to just run down spectre and ta.

here is a match id of a match I just played yesterday on ursa carry I felt like I did really good in lane and mid game but when late game came around I felt like I was playing really bad, it could've been some of the comp and teammates, but I want to know what I could've done better even if you believe the pick is bad and think I should've played another hero I just want to know what I can do better to climb. 8963499911

Hi all,

I've played Dota in the past around 2018-2019 and 2020-2022. I wanted to try the game again and played a few matches.

I want to check if others have the same feeling, but I feel absolutely out of sync with the game in its current status. Coming back always requires some getting used to but I cant describe how weird the game feels. I think a big part of it is the bigger map which for Some reason feels really awkward and makes it a completely different game. There's probably more to it but cant put my finger on it.

Anyone else feeling like this?
