What hero should I Spam? in General Discussion
Salty

    Hello, I've been playing Dota for about 6 months and wanted to get a decent grasp of the game before I started ranked.
    I was wondering if any of the heros I play would be good for spamming in Ranked.
    Thank you, and have a nice day.

      Sniper mid harass and deny creeps as much as possible without sacrificing last hits as long as you farm up and your sure youll be able to get kills. Sorry if this sounds really basic but people in our skill level just dont know what to do against a farmed sniper because theyll pick melee carries that cant deal with him late game.

        Sniper is both rlly good and rlly ass cuz pa and pudge r in almost every game and sniper has a hard time against them, at least 0k snipers do. I wud just spam pa, if u know what ur doing people just feed compulsively to her. My last 2 pa games have been incredible stomps. Buy raindrop btw.

          I've versed 3ks mid and crushed them in unranked in several games am not autistic and 0k
          Ik they were not "Trying" and would like to ask heros from my hero pool are the best for climbing
          Sorry for misunderstanding and thank you

                Would it kill you to play a support every once in a while.

                Emiya

                  play your most confident heroes or the one that counters your enemy is the best in ranked

                  Xignum

                    it would kill his plays if he's not a good supp player

                    Sia

                      dont spam 6 months in. at least a year of playing every hero to understand how he/she gets countered and what items does he/she build and how's her/his playstyle so when u wanna start spamming u know how to play around the enemy heroes and synergise with yours

                      🍩🍪Cookie🍪🍩

                        bad advice sia^ all you need is 1-2 games on each hero, and just SPAM SPAM SPAM one after that

                        look, if you wanna spam a hero either pick a top tier meta hero or just spam whatever you won't get bored with.

                        some people tend to get bored after 5 games on 1 hero, i don't get bored after 50 because i enjoy playing the heroes i spam.

                          Whatever the fuck you like

                          trench

                            the only hero i liked spaming was venom and sniper.sniper cause i like to stay away from fight and pew pew pew mofo. actually ive shity computer and in fight i get like 10 fps and so i find easier to handle this with sniper.

                            Venom cause he is just cancer. ican easily create huge space for my team to farm but since new patch its getting tough ending games in less than 40 min and post 40 min its gets reaaaally tough to do so.

                            i tried np last night now il spam it. i liked the hero but it was bad earlier. plus he is a good offlaner in certain lineup

                            Sia

                              well if u wanna play all heroes 2 games it'll be 220(?) games and lets say he's played 2/3 of them already enough to know how they work so like 70ish games to play em all. then spam a hero??

                              🍩🍪Cookie🍪🍩

                                yep, that's pretty much it

                                there's heroes that i haven't played in 2-3 years

                                Jack__Attack

                                  Spectre Luna juggernaut sven

                                  Sia

                                    lets see. played visage twice stopmed once. played chen 3 times did really good but game took more than 40 mins and i was a creep+mek then we lost min 70 or smth. played aw idk how many times built book3 sb divine and won. io twice both 0 20 5 or smth xd

                                    mr. rabbit

                                      i think i actually play chen once during my entire life

                                      Salty

                                        Do you recommend picking around my shitty team or keep spam like if I am a safe lane spectre and we don't have a support do I go visage or another support or do I stick with my spam hero?

                                        kormoranas

                                          all heroes are good if you know how to play them decent, and all heroes needs experience so you could play them decent

                                          mr. rabbit

                                            u first pick the hero ur spamming so that doesnt become a problem

                                              One last question after looking at my recent games were do I think I belong?

                                              mr. rabbit

                                                prob mid to high 2k

                                                Ayaneru   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                                  Don't spam a single hero but select around 10 hero your most comfortable with. Don't spam carry heroes. Theres already a lot of wannabe pro carries so learn to be a support in order to climb mmr.

                                                  Heroes that are good for me are:
                                                  -Axe
                                                  -KoTL
                                                  -Lion
                                                  -CM
                                                  -WD
                                                  -Ogre
                                                  -Earth Spirit
                                                  -Rubick
                                                  -Mirana
                                                  -Slardar

                                                  mr. rabbit

                                                    2-3 hero pool is way better. u can even make do with just 1 if ur not spamming a popular/meta hero

                                                    role doesnt matter as long as it's the role ur willing to put time in to

                                                      True.

                                                      Sia

                                                        he'd know which hero just needs to look for one that he both likes and can win the games solo. means gotta be able to fight, splitpush, farm fast, survive and be tanky enough, have escape, and etc.

                                                        i would suggest am and slark for starting. slark more than am since am cant be as aggresive as slark if u arent a real good am player also considering team is always bad at lower mmr

                                                                    Salty

                                                                      Salty

                                                                          🍩🍪Cookie🍪🍩

                                                                            You can calibrate 3.5k and never move cus you never leaened to win.

                                                                            Or you could calibrate 1k and grind to 5-6k like yours truly

                                                                                        As for me I spam heroes for certain roles.

But i understand how they work so i shud just start spamming my 100% winrate necro right? I just get bored playing the same hero, idk if i can handle the spam.

                                                                                              Shou

However i dont mute initially, but if they say anything remotely retarded, tell them u called it first if they r conflicting with u, or ignore them, then immediately mute.
