General DiscussionBack after 3 months, whats the best way to relearn the meta?

There is no meta. You either get shitstains on your team or they are on the other.

play omni for the win, never changes for ages

lifestealer tinker op

spec dk jugg slark quite good

medusa od zeus situational (aka pick at your own risk)

lc jungle = trash if you farm for more than 9mins

others pls do experiment on your own

You either get shitstains on your team or they are on the other.

I heard about the PA vanguard deso build on reddit, not sure if joke or serious tho. Hypothetically it sounds nice for an early to midgame fighting oriented build

Ring of health was buffed awhile ago so a few heroes are good with early vanguard (void, pa, am). Also you can build it into an abysall now

Should I just jump into YOLO solo queue? I feel I'm gonna get curbstomped.

I'm guessing my unranked MMR is now 3 digit only

new hurricane pike is absolute must have item for Enchantress. It's corer to her than Blink on Earthshaker

best way to learn is by playing and seeing for yourself

meta dosnt exist matter unless you are 5k+ even then its a very very small part of dota. I wish people would stop using this word.

Don't learn

Create

this "You either get shitstains on your team or they are on the other." so true, i dont know what happened with the dota mm, but you get a stomp, them get stomped, them you stomp, them get stomped, a long time that i didnt have a close game.

you have db+ op

go to heroes, sort of winrate & latest version, filter it out for your region post screenshot for everyone to see

Play until you understand regional meta. Then counter it.

watch streams/pro games

Watching streams and pro games has only made me more prone to tilt in my own games.

The "meta" for them is all about mobility. Blinks, bot, etc. and it's like watching dancers gracefully performing their art for the enjoyment of others.

Pubs at 3k-4K are like being at a club where everyone is way to drunk to dance and ends up stumbling around and vomitting all over each other.

In my last ten games I had an LC jungle for 17 or 18 minutes then blink into some trees and rage because I didn't cut him out with my quelling blade. And last night my own shadow shaman ward trapped me. It's like watching the first few minutes of dota wtf and never having the last 30 seconds.

Every mmr range have their own meta. Prevailing ideology of heroes that work better in that range. Of course if u r 5k mmr, meta won't exist for u be cuz u just outplay on any hero. But still there are different pools of heroes that are considered strong in 1k.
