DOTA 2 Fundametals: 1 Stacking and pulling.

[FunnyDougy]

not a bad vid. What program did u use to add the recording? Also are you aware of the fact you can clear all 3 of those camps with a single creep wave? Stacking isn't nearly as vital as learning what trees to destroy to clear all the camps and take minimal dmg.

[SandmanCCL]

@fireprincess59 : Actually, those are exactly the type of people you want beta-testing a game. People inexperienced at the game are the ones who provide the "wtf is going on?" questions so vital to helping the creators draft up ways to address accessibility issues, in order to garner and sustain a new player base.

I don't really feel like getting into the pins and needles of good video game design, but catering just to the hardcore audience is not smart.

[Marjask]

Thanks for the tutorial! It was helpful.

[STGVIAus]

new players shouldnt have the beta ^^

[MrPinappletim]

@STGVIAus Why not? surely valve need to understand how to acomidate all skill levels on dota 2?=

[fireprincess59]

@MrPinappletim He's what we call an elitist. :3 But no, seriously. There are some kinds of players who you don't want to be beta-testing a game. :< And those are the kinds of players who don't know how these kinds of games should be played or are played. :<

[ChiggerLemon]

@STGVIAus You shouldn't.

[Jakuzevich]

Nice and helpful for the new players.

[YouLookFourteen]

The time to pull is :51s - :53s according to the video. :52s being the optimal time.

[UnheardMarksman]

I've been playing LoL for a while now and I needed a change. I can't wait to get invited for the Dota 2 beta, if I do, and I hope you upload more videos to help new players such as mysef =). Subscribed, likes, and favorited the video.

[yarger007]

[Mohrisbetr]

Hey Phatshady. Im sure you recognize me from LoL. I just got dota2 beta and have been playing/learning. Nice video. Subscribed for the series.

[Phatshady912]

@Mohrisbetr Sup, feel free to add me on steam.

[MrSuperDuperMorten]

@Phatshady912 Awesome! Subbed :)

[trevarfran]

FULLSCREEEEEEEEEEEN. Great vid ! Will help some newcomers.

[IAmMrFroho]

Oh I wanted to ask, does the 15/45 second rule work on scourge side too? thanks :)

[TikTok6oclock]

@IAmMrFroho I will explain why its 15/45.

creeps basically spawn every 30 seconds. So 15 seconds after they spawn, you pull.

For top scourge, its even easier, 14-16 will still be a successful pull.

Top scourge however, has 2 pull spots. The timing for this one is hard though.

You can triple pull at bot sentinel and double pull on top scourge. (this means you pull the wave yo the other camp, so you don't need to stack at 53.

[IAmMrFroho]

Have known about pulling and stacking forever but I never knew about the every 15 second / 45 second timer deal. Very helpful, thanks!

[MrTotalfreak]

@IAmMrFroho Yeah, thisis what was really useful. I knew you could pull, but i thought it was super hard cuz I didn't know timers. Stuff like this gets me really excited for DotA2. ^_^

[OandPisMe]

5:00

how did you do that ?

[777luc777]

@OandPisMe spam right click and H really quick

[steennordsmarkp]

@777luc777

Wow that is bad advice ...

just spam 'S'

[Phatshady912]

@OandPisMe Spam S. last hitting that way is only a good idea when you know you are safe, because standing still is a good way to get hit by a skillshot.

[Midaspl]

@Phatshady912 Why does every1 lasthit like that? I know it's disturbing denying etc. but I personally preffer to use H to stand still and fake one, two or none of lasthits.

[DanPathard]

Thanks much for this, but just a note.. because you actually pulled and killed the camp near the end you're now pushing the lane with two waves of creeps. That's generally not the desired result of pulling the lane.

Aside from that, great job!

[zomgmachines]

TBH, I already knew this stuff. But putting myself in a new person's shoes; I think that what you are doing is very commendable. You explain things very well and don't try to undermine or confuse the viewer with unnecessary terms.

Anyways, what I am trying to say is Good Job!
