Podcasts about offlane

On this week's show Ursi, Proud, and Zac question God's Laws and come out unscathed. Topics include: Meepo, Natures Prophet, Omniknight, Tiny, Dawnbreaker, Offlane, Adam Sandler, Pangolier, Pugna, Spectre, Spirit Vessel in its current form, Mars, and much more! 

This week we come armed with a stat corner, AM offlane and a disassembled Dragon Lance! Adam's winning, Stan won a Tinker game, Marco won a Nemistice in 7 minutes, patch is confirmed! It's all looking good in the Dotaverse!

We have unfinished business to attend to in this week's episode, answering questions such as 'talk about pos 4', 'map movements as a pos 3', 'how many small items should I buy?'. We also ponder why offlane players are so useless. https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD  

Ever tried a pie in a barm? Neither has Marco but he has got some opinions on offlane heroes in the meta. Adam and Stan have some points to put forward too as the trio cover the main archetypes of offlane heroes, discussing the pros and cons of going tanky, single target lockdown, team-fight, buffers, and of course the not so easily categorized heroes. 

This week on Teach Me Tuesday, Proud & Bee discuss how and when to farm as an offlaner. Also on the agenda; MMR histories, pesky Pudges & neutral items as cosmetics.

How many ranged strength heroes are there? We're pretty sure we worked it out since last episode, turns out there's four. Today we give some follow-up thoughts on Void Spirit and Snapfire coming off the back of last week's episode. We then cover what changed in 7.23 to make Lone Druid (35:00), Tiny (46:45) and Venomancer (52:52)so hot right now. https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

The New Meta trio convene after a few days of 7.32a to collect and develop our thoughts on the patch, particularly on Snapfire and Void Spirit. We discuss how the heroes were buffed in 7.23a and what seems to work for them in this wild west early meta stage. We also discuss talents and items as well as cover some other strong heroes and bugs.

On this week's Teach Me Tuesday Beedub and Ursi embrace the wonderful land of the offlane, Bee's new home! We get Hot Takes about pro dota, support Abaddon chat, Tidehunter, Earthshaker, courier sniping, the new Pokemon game, which names are the best, and plenty more!

Why is there PL in my games suddenly? How come Luna is suddenly good? How can you do a full episode on carry heroes without mentioning Lycan having a 60% win-rate? Is Jug still pickable? We take a look at the surprisingly versatile state of the carry pool in this late stage of the patch. Using stats and our own opinions we attempt to cover all the pickable heroes and where they currently stand. https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

!

Episode 60 flys in from the nether reaches on leathern wings with malicious intent. So prepare for poison as the pod stop trying to cram every Viper voice line into the description and actually talk about how to win some mmr one nobody's favorite mid hero, Viper! Stats don't lie though and with this hero sitting on a 54% win rate below Divine we examine how shockingly simple this hero's play-style should be! https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

Where should I be on the map? What areas should we be playing in? Where will the lane creeps meet? Is it called the jungle or the woods? All valid questions, and in this episode we have some answers. The topics all follow the theme of what are the key areas of the map that a team should be playing in and why. We discuss concepts like the dead lane, high-ground areas on the map, playing around easy objectives. https://discord.gg/YazgfV8

Finishing off what we started last week with the missing discussion on battle-maiden, AKA Crystal Maiden mid. The trio then discuss another mid hero that is perhaps even more of a gimmick than CM, the one and only Mireska Sunbreeze, known to the public as Dark Willow. Just get Aghs Moonshard lul.  https://discord.gg/YazgfV8

Perhaps the ultimate Dota question... How to have fun? This is the reason we play right? Well, Marco plays for the last hit trainer but other than that. We run through some failsafe ways to have fun with the game, before going through Stan's tier list of fun heroes, with all 115 being split into 5 tiers of fun. See the discord for a screen shot of the full list/ https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

The pod attempt to cover a difficult and nebulous topic in this week's episode, with a discussion on how to best play from a disadvantage. The crew start with some calibration and pro scene chat, before defining what it means to be 'behind' in a game of Dota. The remainder of the talk revolves around how to change the state of the game (through split-pushing, ganking, vision, items etc etc) to get your team a window of opportunity to come back into the match! https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

The New Meta squad discuss their calibration woes and plans to avoid MMR disaster in the new season. Also discussed is the new matchmaking update, how to approach calibration, smurf threads, CVs etc. https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

Episode 53 sees the trio discuss Adam's darling Venomancer that is creeping further into the meta as well as hero of TI9 Tiny that sits atop the Divine+ pick rates. Lanes, items, talents, counters etc etc we got it all covered. Also live testing whether you can toss a spell immune target (you can't). https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

New Meta Podcast is back for somewhat of a season two, after taking a couple weeks off after TI. Marco and Adam join Stan to discuss how their games have been going and how they are contending with the patch and matchmaking system. The discussion then turn towards two unlikely powerhouses of 7.22g: Night Stalker and Mirana, what makes these heroes strong and what are the best ways to play them? https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

Day 4 review from New Meta Podcast. Just Marco and Stan today!

TI9 day 4! Liquid in action twice beating RNG then EG. Marco lets some steam off after a painful final series of the day with his favourite EG falling 2-0 vs Team Liquid in disappointing fashion. Secret vs Infamous is the other series today, discussion of all the action! https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

New Meta Podcast's review of day 1 of the group stage of TI9! A wild first day of the action that saw a mega creep comeback in the very first game.

3 blog posts from Valve in 3 days !?! The New Meta trio are pinching themselves too. In this ep we cover the fascinating changes to matchmaking and general quality of life improvements that the Summer Scrub updates have introduced. The crew then turn their attention to a hero that is long overdue a discussion on the pod: core Silencer (54:35). https://discord.gg/YazgfV8

In episode 39 the crew go over their prediction pages on the Battle-Pass compendium for TI9, hoping to scoop up some free points once the action is concluded over in Shanghai. Each prediction is covered in due course, with jokes and discussion along the way!  https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

In ep 37 the crew are in discussion about the emergence of Pudge as a position 1 carry hero. The first 15 minutes of the discussion are unfortunately too damaged to be used but the rest of the discussion is fruitful and interesting, covering the hero everybody loves and hates in equal measure, Pudge.  https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

Lots to talk about in episode 36! Marco wants to know the lore behind Invoker being a child (!?), Stan wants to know how many ways 36 can be divided and Adam wants to know why Grimstroke has a negative win rate. Initial topics include hero personas and arcanas before the main topic of why Windranger, Ember, Juggernaut, Grimstroke and Slark are so heavily picked at the moment. https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

Patch review of 7.22e with Stan, Marco and Adam! https://discord.gg/YazgfV8

In this ep the pod squad discuss one conception of strategy in Dota, that of team power spikes. After the usual news and shout outs the trio get talking about how knowledge of basic strategy can be wielded to cut through the mindless zombie walk of pub Dota and gain you mmr! How to recognise a spike, how to complement and build towards it and how to execute are all conversation starters. https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

Ep 33 sees the gang dive into Enchantress and Omniknight in 7.22d, discussing how both are emerging as top picks in both the 3 and 5 role (14:25)!

Nothing beats a classic Meta-game discussion, with ep 31 seeing Adam and Stan sitting down to discuss the position 5 heroes that are seeing the most play in the pub scene. Warlock, Oracle, Abaddon, CM, Bane and Grimstroke are topping pick rates in public march-making and the duo discuss the differences between the heroes, and how their current iterations tend to be played. https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

Episode 30 warrants a major topic, and so the crew are in full swing this week discussing the different styles of mid-lane heroes. From farmers and pushers to dominators and tempos, the trio cover how certain heroes want to play the mid lane and where they want to be moving on the map. Why a hero's kit or match-up is suited to playing such a way is also touched and the talk is littered with general tips and strats for playing mid. https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

Episode 29 sees the New Meta squadron discuss some potential gems to try in the 4 position. Adam uses his experience as a recent convert to the 4 role to guide Marco and Stan through the weird worlds of pos 4 Axe (9:50), QoP (37:10), Spirit Breaker (49:45) and Mars (69:00). We're all very excited about this Axe! https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

In episode 28 the podders read through the changes in the 7.22c patch and discuss the various changes, discussing how the meta will be impacted. Before getting started the trio take some time to talk about the Twitch Rivals reverse captains mode event which made for an interesting watch. Topics include whether Axe is a decent 4 now?, what Chen even does anymore?, Skywraths damage buffs, why on earth Tinker got a gpm talent?  https://discord.gg/VCrW5Vw

Stan and Marco return from the New Meta away day at ESL Birmingham to subject Adam to all the stories, and indeed Dota, that the crew was able to soak up at the event! Subjects include Canals, DHL, Secret, Marco's 1v1 fail, EG, drafting and of course more touching of pro players hands. https://discord.gg/VCrW5Vw

In episode 26 Stan and Adam join forces to discuss the initial take-aways from the first week with 7.22 (and 7.22b), discussing the better scepters such as Death Prophet, Clinkz and Monkey King, as well as emerging heroes returning to the meta after long absences, specifically Warlock and Omniknight. https://discord.gg/VnMsuQ8

In this impromptu special edition of the pod, Stan, Marco and Adam gather to discuss the long awaited patch notes of 7.22. The trio go from top to bottom, covering all the important changes, whether game-changing, gimicky or downright strange.  https://discord.gg/VCrW5Vw

New Meta quickly returns to the recording booth to release the second and final part of their guide to playing the offlane, this episode focusing on how to approach the mid and late game. Topics include itemisation, hero targeting, buyback and more.  https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

In this edition of New Meta the trio have put their heads down and created the most comprehensive and effective guide to playing the offlane ever seen in the podcast format (probably). Today's pod focuses on the laning stage with Marco, Adam and Stan breaking down the offlane heroes into 3 archetypal play-styles as well as discussing how to react to different situations, carries, supports and more. Tune in for part 2 in Friday's pod! https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD

Stan and Adam enjoy a duo pod this week, deciding to postpone the 'How To Play Offlane' episode until Marco returns to the fold. In this Episode the trans-Atlantic duo discuss their recent fortunes in Dota, the new player experience of the game and Adam's RD2L team. After a lovely drum transition the episode moves to the main topic of dissecting an actual game of Dota, in this case a very typical party stack pub game. Adam and Stan tell the story of the game while focusing on how and why their game plan and strategies changed as the game went on. https://discord.gg/rgV6KwD
