r u sure about
>i gave him basic tips like farm warding, learning heroes
and, nvm if he played ~100h.
and it is normal if he is didnt play MOBA games before.

you played dota for 500 hours and still have a negative winrate in normal skill

also don't tell him to pick axe, that's retarded

Dont teach people how to play dota good. Its a trap.

Problem 1: His most played heroes with only around 100 games are Invoker and Io? Whut?

Get him to play ez heroes like BH BS Zeus spec, ez 4k

man i have almost 3.5k hours and i still suck hard

100 hours of dota, pogchamp. @Op - Dude ur just a bad friend!!

Lex you are genius

Tell him to play rikimaru for the next 100 hours. Spamming 1 hero should help.

dat double rapier wisp. gg

megapenis has 2k hours in dota and still sucks

u tell me

I'm bad at Dota too and have like 5000 hours in it, so what. Or should i say i was bad at it, since i dont play it anymore.

Tell him to just play a lot and try to watch good players play. No one with 100 hours has any fuckin clue how to play, you probably need 500 + hours to learn basics and another 500 to become "decent". He'll still suck with 2000 hours in it probably, like most of people.

100 hours isn't a lot you know that right? It takes like 1500 hours to scratch the surface

100 hours and he still sucks

still

Look at yourself OP

Russian normal skill EU west queuer with negative winrate

i have 2000 hours and im barely high skill

kek

Unfortunately for me, I sucked when I had good internet. Now that I don't, I play [scripted] bots all the time (over 300 bot matches).

It helps alot. Mechanically speaking, I'd say I'm about 5k mmr. But sadly that might never be a reality.

Point is, play lotsa bots and watch pros to inspire you.

@SheGz

You're in normal bracket. Now you've played 300 bot matches and watched some pro games and you rape some bots ala 2ez4rtz and whop you're 5k mmr?

Don't work like that at all, sorry to say.

100 hours is not really that long in dota

Okay, i did not read all the comments but 100 hours is nothing for a moba like dota, even 8 years ago (+/-) when i started playing dota 1, and i'm not that good... Anyway... Dota is a hard as hell game, from experience of other mobas i can tell dota 2 have the toughest beginning until the "end" of learning. the only tip i can give you is, give him easy heroes, teach him only positioning anf farming, only that two will be a real nice start. good lucky.
Ps.: some people really don't have the "moba" skills.
ps¹.: be patient, you will need it, as he will nee it 2.

you definitely aren't good at dota if you have 100 hours. i have 5.5k hours. i'm terrible at dota...

OP is just as bad lmao

I laugh at all these ppl w thousands of hours and still suck.

I have around 500 and alr high skill.

I could be HS/VHS too but i hate playing ranked

i like his builds tho specially when he discovered the divine rapier. so divine xP

How does he die so many times.. I don't understand.. If you know you die a lot then shut the fuck up and stand back.. Teach him that..

And his most played heroes are Invo IO and Puj.. Dude, you've got to be kidding me..

The fastest way to improve playing is to have a party match making with much higher skill level from you.

I'm literally rolling on the fucking floor laughing my ass off..

Hey OP could youask your friend to add me?!

You dont really start to "understand" the game as a whole until about 600-1k hours of actual games...

Play easier heroes. Ogre magi is pretty simple. Jakiro is simple. Easy heroes to get use to the game.

I can tell he's really bad. Look at his winrate and heroes' KDA lol.
I think he needs to play first the easiest heroes. Playing invoker and IO is like getting rejected by your crush (if you are still new to dota)

If you think about it, even with that weird build, your friend was doing well. Abaddon was doing well. SB aswell. But as tower damage shows, they weren't pushing to win.

Abaddon didn't die a single time. He had 3 rapiers. One death was enought to punish them hard. 4/20/7 Terrorblade won the game rofl.

The lack of BKBs in this match is way too high. But there goes what a friend told me once. The big problem in the <3k~ bracket is that they never build BKB.
