Back at dota 2 after a 1,5 year break in General Discussion
Forgos ☭

    Today I have decided to play dota 2 after a long break. I want to catch up with the game asap. I haven't read any changelogs in the past and I believe the game has changed dramatically. Do you have any suggetions for me? I was never good at this game (4k scrub here!) however I feel even more lost now. <3<3<3

                    i have a friend who quit dota he was 4.3k last 3 years ago he probably would become a pro if he didnt quit

                      I guess 6.86c

                        You should be around 3.3K mmr skill now - just keep play and if you feel like you don't understand anything - go read patch

                          For me I just playing and do some All hero challenge when I comeback to Dota 8-9 months ago.

                            @1-ICETEA do you think I can get back to my level of play just spamming supports as I used to do ?

                            A

                              probably play some ai at least 5 games to cope up against the changes then a normal match would help

                                Still can't leave dota huh?
                                :thinking:

                                  probably less than 3.3k tbh.

                                  i guess it matters more the more mmr you have, but for example one of my friends was 6.1k like 1.5 yr ago and only started playing again a few months ago, and he was like 4.5k skill. he's catching up, more like 5.2k skill by now, but yea was a big drop.

                                  another one of my friends was 5.4k and stopped playing for about 6 months, came back only a few weeks ago and he went on a losing spree down to 4.7k and still dropping.

                                  it has nothing to do with inflation, its the fact that all players are better over time. if u took ANY 6k player and send him back in time to TI3 he would be the best player there 100%

                                    I'll try to keep it as short as possible
                                    1. Split push is dead
                                    2. Map has changed, including rosh pit, jungle and shrines
                                    3. Learn the talents, basically many heroes can be support/core, magic/physical damage, passive/aggressive
                                    4. Early game is more important now
                                    5. Offlane is the new safe lane, best position to play imo

                                            1.5 years. That's about when my cousin introduced me to this game. Started at 900 mmr party and solo now 2.9k solo 3.5k party. Started ranked in may last year. Should be quite the change coming back.

                                            doc joferlyn simp

                                              I joined when you quit. Just thought that that was funny.

                                                @Jack Attack , @mureder on my mind , Wow. Well I will never forget when I first met dota! I hope you guys will keep enjoying the game

                                                I was searching for tutorials (eg for warding spots) can you suggest me a site. As far as I can see the sites that I used to visit are no longer active. I'm glad that dotabuff is alive though. I miss the good old plus days :(

                                                  Mate just find the warding spots your own by walking through an empty lobby
                                                  Jungle creeps spawn at 0:30, 1:00, 3:00 every 2 mins afterwards
                                                  HoTD is an aura item now
                                                  Splitpush ded
                                                  Diffusal no longer self/team castable
                                                  Midas is good
                                                  Shrines next to offlane and mid are good and can be used for early game fights sustain or w/e
                                                  Use barrack shrines instead of going back to base if you need to regen
