SlashStrike's Interactive Course on Dota2 Drafting vol. 1
You queue up for a ranked game, ready to win some MMR.
Your excitement quickly fades away when you see things like:
- Your team has picked 0 stuns, while the enemy has 3 mobile heroes.
- The enemy team has greedy lategame heroes, but somehow you're losing your lanes.
- You're facing a heavy pushing lineup, yet 2 of your allies are queuing up a Midas.
Despite what most people think, these games are not unwinnable - but only if you know what the correct gameplan is.
Of course, you could just play your hero the way you always play it, lose, and then complain about your teammates / bad luck / the matchmaking algorithm.
Or you can improve your drafting knowledge and start winning some of those hard "unwinnable" games.
Playing Dota without drafting knowledge is like running laps blindfolded. You'll be on autopilot and may occasionally do fine, but the moment you run into anything unusual you'll fall dramatically.
Despite what most people think, drafting knowledge goes far beyond "picking the right hero".
If you want to:
- Play well, regardless of your teammates
- Make the right decisions in easy games, when you're ahead
- Make the right decisions in hard games, when you're behind
- Win more than you lose
You need to improve your drafting knowledge!
