Last week i randomed pugna. Get called selfish by teammates because i random. 0-3 in the first 10 mins because i was lagging. Teammates kept calling me noob, so i abandoned the game. Serves them right.

I got sent to low priority because of that, lol.

1. Before playing dota 2, fix your damned internet, its part of your responsibility as MOBA gamer.

2. Random => you got no specialized with a better win rate as a dota player. Whenever ppl trying to combo with you, its a futile effort, thus they call you noob.

3. Being penalized because spoiling game is padan muka kau.

For starter:

1. Support:
- For everything basic such as warding, dual-laning, ganking timing and courage. Go to carry/hard lane

then switch to:

2. Core:
- To know about about 1v1 OR 1v2 and overall hero choices and their counters, learn about rune fighting and rune usage for different fights, roaming is 1 of the most important skills to pick up at this point.

then switch to:

3. Carry:
- To learn about how to improve your GPM by micro-manage/animation cancelling/last hits and denies
- To learn how to stack your starting/core/endgame items efficiently and effectively steps by steps.

From these 3 general roles onwards:

4. Finding your own unique style thru different sub-roles:
- Tanker - if your style is specialized to get enemies attention especially whole team.
- Initiator - you prefer enter a fight smoothly and make wiping enemy team easier for the team.
- Nuker - you prefer someone go first before you can actually do some heavy follow up damage
- Tidechanger/Interrupt: You like to bait enemies and make their ganking plan failed miserably and able to take huge risk for bigger rewards.
- Flash farmer/split-pusher etc.

Finally switch back to:

5. Support again:
- You will found out tat, after all these role changing, the way you playing support as a team again, is a lot stronger and effective due to experience.
- How to pull and stack NC
- Trilaning effectively and Zone out the enemy heroes.

6. Things you will eventually improve along all these steps:(eventually, just faster or slower or beyond cure nia):
- Global map sense
- Knowledge on items
- Positioning during fights etc
- Timing to take risk and chase/retreat
- ethics and manners
- adapting new META

These steps only cover so far as what a solo player should learn/do, if further then will be on Captain Mode/Competitive level already...

It adds more slashes during Omni thus increasing the damage during Omni
*
Omnislash damage consist of 3 type:

1. 3/6/9 (6/9/12 with scepter) slashes with 200-225 damage each slash, TYPE:PHYSICAL, Blade Dance will NOT be triggered
2. Unknown no. of Physical attacks from Juggernaut himself, More ASPD => more hits, Blade Dance cand be triggered
3. Items with active spells/Unique attack modifier, Jugger can even Dagon/Purge the ghost form when omnislashing.

Basically, other than it picks random target for every NORMAL SLASH, basically it has only 1 weakness which not many heroes will buy, EUL scepter.

THis is why now Jugger is hotpick despite the nerf. If used decently, jugger can take out at least 1-2 heroes without risking himself or rely on BKB.

Almost a year ago, I buy MOM+Basher for Jugger, everyone laughed at me Noob/trolling/throwing;
Now Everyone is buying MOM + Basher, slowpoke.

Till now I still don't understand why still got so many ppl pick mirana and build her as carry + DPS items.

Mirana => Born Core/Support, all her skills is focus on strategic and tactical advantages

Wow .. so much fail CM users I see.. No need Midas, just use her ice blast last hit creeps. Midas is just a waste of gold cause duration cool down of you gaining gold by Midas cant outmatch last hit ice blast.

Fast gold CM = Up mostly ice blast.. Get mana boots and point booster to sceptre or shadow blade. Spam last hits on creeps cause its AOE attack you will land 2 kills or 3. just up 1,3,2,1,1,4,1,3,2,3,2 etc.

Truth is... even carry get midas not because of gold... its because of EXP earned... to gain the lvl advantage as semi/core/carry skills only getting solid in higher level relatively, than support/nuker...

Just got myself CM & SF arcana from trading...

CM arcana really a huge boost on her cosmetic....

Before arcana, many CM cosmetic looks lame on her
After arcana, gotta try all the cosmetic on her to mix-match...

On the other hand, SF arcana is really rare and exp to trade...

played with v1n0d yesterday night, opposite CM is good in buying stuff, but point is, is is worth to invest midas then get heart??

idk, i use sniper yesterday night because when i lose in my solo MMR, opponent got a sniper.
*
Midas is more on gaining extra exp to max spells asap for early-mid game momentum... not recommend to get midas for the sake of gold...
