I've been playing dota since .59 and I found this guide very helpful. I can't believe it never once crossed my mind to tango up while at near full hp to help in an engagement. Thank you, Lumi. You have improved my dota game in more ways than one.
couple things on the QoP thing that i thought were amazing that i dont think you mentioned
the timing on going in: he went in when he knew no creeps would be coming while SF was in a position where he was taking hits from a couple creeps...seems basic but i dont see this timing happen that often at lower levels
and to add to the positioning, the fact that he was on the stairs...if SF decided to full on engage or something went wrong, dendi could just go to high ground and blink away very easy
Necro ran becuz of cold feet's stun not because of how good dendi is. No one would like to get stunned for over 2 sec with or without a dd rune. Other than that props to you.
Hey Lumi, Awesome video but one request, I know its a big ask but could you re-upload this with previous settings, its really choppy! :(, otherwise really been loving your content lately, Learning with Lumi is definitely my favourite series of yours.
hey lumi, love the format of the show. i personally like it best when you do purely analytical (or pub stomp) stuff à la Day[9] instead of commentating a whole game. keep up the good work! this specific show would of course be even cooler with the respective player linked in via skype...
Did Dendi get cold feet and stats till 5? Is that standard? Also how does the shatter work on the ultimate, does it apply if they go below the % of hp after the ulti hits but the slow and dot are still going?
@Freakattaker No he had vortex... He used it a couple of times. Also, ice blast shatter works for a while. If they go under 10% hp in any of that time, they shatter. You can see that the shatter debuff is on a hero cause they appear frozen through it. Kindof hard to miss.
this is amazing... I always got dominated in mid lane but these little tips and tricks really helped. Lumi this is why i watch you everyday. You always come up with these amazing videos and amazing tips that actually help me with my play
This Video shows, why u are an exceptional commentator! You've got so much background knowledge and see the tiniest things, so it really helps understanding dota progaming!
Not that i understand all of it but at least you help us trying to ;)
lumi you should do a short video with you shouting DISRESPECT SON maybe on dota maybe on something else and hopefully it will become the next biggest meme in the internet muhahahaha
LUMI, when you've got the blackboard up in b/w replays, use that to write down the points you mention, so that its not just sitting there, but other than that, nice work and keep breaking down playstyles :)
very cool vid... i am like a pretty nooby to average player id say, so i really would like to see a learning vid about starting items or counterpicking and maybe situational items in the mid to endgame... it´d be really helpful to me and some other players i´d think... keep up the good footage^^
Yes, there is a 2hour video of "Dendi Talks Dota: How to Solo Mid" BUT!
It's always a good thing to have someone other than the player himself watch the replays and how he lanes.
As Dendi has been playing for many years, a lot of moves he does are naturally, thus he doesn't explain them.
Especially if an analyzer-type like Luminous as a 2nd person looks at it, he can point out the little things which do big differences inside the laning phase(which Dendi didn't)
Why so much lag? :(
