Spotlight on Legion Commander - 6.84c

I submit that Legion Commander can be used as a carry, a support, an initiator, a mid, a ganker, and a jungler, and as such, is one of the more flexible heroes around.  He's also quite good at Level 1 (see Level 1 Brawlers), and can snowball quite heavily.Unfortunately, poor use of the Duel ability can lead to a quick loss.  Thus, it is better to Duel dangerous but squishy supports, such as Zeus, Lina, or Pugna.Recently, if you look at dotabuff, LC has been having a rough time lately, due to being counter-picked, although still picked...

Tips on Winning Pub Games

Play a Carry:  especially in lower leagues, few people can last-hit decently, and fewer still can close out a game quickly.  Chances are, you’ll eventually get levels and farm, and a carry hero will serve you very well if the game goes long.  Try to pick carries that are useful in the midgame as well (stay away from PL, Antimage, Morph, etc unless you are very familiar with one of those heroes).  The later the game goes, the better it is to have more carries on your team (even if they are just semi-carries like Tusk...

Dota 2 Best Level 1 Brawlers

If you meet these heroes at Level 1, solo 1v1 at the rune spot or elsewhere, don’t attempt to go 1v1 with them... unless you’re also a brawler or you’ve brought a buddy.  In reality, there probably WILL be someone else around, but this should give you a bit of a heads up before you start to brawl.Caveats about L1 Brawling:- I’ve had to do this list assuming no items, or similar items. I can’t possibly calculate every L1 item build.- If your opponent has a Stout Shield and you don’t, a 1v1 brawl isn’t a good idea.- Try to eat a tree (Tango)...

Heroes with Low-Cooldown Ultimates

This post started out as "teamfight ultimates", but the spirit of this post includes heroes that can fight frequently, and thus includes more single-target ultimates, and heroes in general with low-cooldown abilities. At the time of this writing, heroes such as Slardar, Tusk, and Witch Doctor are popular in the Pro scene, somewhat because they don't have to wait on the cooldown of long ultimates to fight.Heroes with Low-Cooldown Ultimates:(Cooldown time shown in brackets)Ancient Apparition (40), Gyrocopter (55/50/45), Timbersaw(4), Anti...
