Playing same heroes? in General Discussion

    Can anyone here prove that playing same heroes in a row helps you increase in skill level? I happen to notice some pros do it, and was wondering if it works in getting better at the game, and not just at that particular hero you are grinding atm.

      Recently I've played Weaver over and over. It gets better as more I play her. I've always played Weaver in the offlane, but I know I can catch up in farm as the time goes.

      So yes, obvisouly it helps. If you play same hero 100 times in a row, do you think you've not achieved anything?

        they do it to practice a specific hero, that is all.

          but is it possible to understand how a hero works more? and practicing is close to increasing your skill level, so you are better with that hero. I just dont know if it would help me to play heroes of different positions many times to play them better, i mean how does that pirate guy play so much sk mostly only him at high levels, and can still hold his on with other heroes once in a while

                well no shit, its called practice

                  Personally i think that its great to know how to play a lot of heroes, but some heroes like tinker and invoker requires a lot of games

                  Wink i played like 30 invoker games and i am still trash with invoker, so i dont really ike your example :P

                    well u just blow dork

                    Wink

                      maybe i just fit the hero's playstyle more?

                        takes u 20 bot games to tornado-emp-coldsnap instakill anyone on the map?

                        ♨Dacheat♨

                          Well I'm pretty sure that Invoker play after 20 games would be much better than playing Invoker for the first time.

                              I started with QE too, but it was long ago and i got bored at invoker ( probably because i was terrible with him ) Anyway i have tinker already and he is pretty hard too so ...

                              but yeah everytime i start with a new hero i try to play him with bots first

                              btw wink do you mind if i add you ? I like to have more people to play with

                              @Sampson

                                        i played invoker for a half-day (a few weeks ago) but the result is win lose win lose win lose win lose , no progress, even though i played invoker for a hundred times, it all depends on the teamwork, i admit it that my invoker is not good as iceiceice, grimorum,etc .but at least i know how to use him properly :/

                                          people underestimate how much practice pros put in.

                                              Playing a hero over and over in a single sitting keeps it fresh in your mind and increases your comfort with that hero as the games go on.

                                                          I found the higher my winrate goes with drow the lower my KDA goes. I end up like 0-3-0 by mid game then 6-3-0 by the time I have their rax at 25mins

                                                            Kinda fun cause I did the exact same thing.
                                                            When I tried Invoker for first time I was like "wtf am I supposed to remember all this". Had to check for every time I was gonna change spell, etc..

                                                            Picking heroes such as Invoker, Meepo and those very high-skill required heroes will usually ruin others games if you dont go practise them.
