12-2 weekend in matches = back to feeling like I know how to doto.

Anyone having any favorite heroes to play right now besides the flavor (jugg) of the week? I'm really digging Troll right now. Just get to go HAM so early

The early roshing is very nice too - I feel that in pubs rosh almost never falls until 30ish minutes most games as people don't prioritize it the same (or lack of warding, coordination/TPs after ganks, etc.). Being able to just stroll in at level 8/9 and take it provides such a huge boost.

Anyone have any advice or strategy with regards to learning how to draft / pick heroes? I'm at the point now where I feel competent with a decent range of heroes but I'm not sure how to turn that into drafting a team strategy. I have some idea but I never feel too confident. Is there an article, simulator or some other method that would help me leapfrog part of the learning curve? It seems like a really deep, underrated part of this game. Tbh I really just want to counterpick the **** out of my opponents.

Yeah Rosh is utterly free, you can also push towers and stuff really quickly which really owns uncoordinated low MMR pubs.

Some sites like dotabuff also track hero combination win stats, which you might also find useful.

Yeah I meant the 3k and below range haha.

So vlads on troll, yay or nay? Is there an advantage to helm over vlads other than it can later be turned into satanic?

the biggest disadvantage to vlads is some of the bonus armor can become redundant if you have an ally with RoB or acquila

or even just another ally who can buy vlads and you get the full benefit of the aura while they are alive

otherwise its mostly the utility from dominated creeps (normally to stack camps) vs. teamfight benefits (which can be pretty large, especially if your team wants to push early)

I've been playing some troll lately. I like the vlad's route cause I really like to start with a pretty quick basilius.

Helm can dominate creeps thats the one big difference id say. but im not good at remembering to stack **** every minute.

I don't think they're underdogs though. They are good on LAN. We'll see. They're off to a great start anyway.
