IMHO an IH isnt the time to be learning a new hero, that's what bot matches are for until you are comfortable, guides on dotafire, playdota and MM. When you are pretty good with a hero, then you can consider playing it in an IH. Plus for IH you should at least know the basics of game mechanics and positioning (last hitting, denying, lane equilibrium, pulling/stacking, rotation, tp response, warding (defensive and aggressive), dewarding, smoke ganks etc).

I was the QOP, we also had no wards at the top river, Ogre rotated mid, but none of our supports rotated for mid gank. We still had walking courier at 5 mins etc..I think I was spending more time typing than playing.

Yah totally agree, we would have been better with bat mid and something else top offlane vs mag. Or even if we just swapped it probably would have been better. I played bad too tho, swings and roundabouts heh.

That's why I mentioned using bots to learn new heroes..not to learn the game.

At least you get can comfortable with a heroes skill usage, ranges, combos etc. It won't teach you much about the game, but you can use it for basic drills (last hitting, pulling/stacking etc).

And yes, that's why I'm waiting for the rumoured DOTA2 mentor system, which should be implemented by volvo some time soon. The guild system will help too, giving new players more access to experienced players.

Then perhaps we can get more balanced IH games Like yesterdays game, in serious IH I play support only, sometimes utility - never mid. Because against a proper mid like SKuller, I'll get owned. I can stomp medium/high level players, but a proper mid player - no they will beat me.

So yah, we have a way to go.

And pls..more people join IXDL SEA, I'd love it to be active
