Dota 2 Tips
Below is a collection of helpful tips you should know for Dota 2.
Bottle Refill Trick - You can refill your Bottle without Bottle crowing or going back to your fountain. To do this, immediately give your Bottle to an Ally who has teleported near you from a fountain. This fills your bottle, due to the fountain buff lingering briefly after after the other player has left the fountain. Use a TP scroll, Keeper of the Light Recall, Nature's Prophet Teleportation, or recall on Lone Druid Spirit Bear to help refill an ally's Bottle.
Denying Allied Heroes -?This prevents the enemy from gaining any gold or experience from the kill. You are able to deny your allies under two conditions: one, they are under the effect of a poison ability such as Doom's Doom or Queen of Pain's Shadow Spike; two, your ally is under a certain percentage of health. A-Click to deny an ally. Allies will still lose unreliable gold upon death.
Losing Tower Aggro?-?Towers have attack priority that decides what they hit. If you are dying and want a tower to stop attacking you, A-click an allied unit. The Tower should change targets as long as other units are within range.
Bottle Spam in Fountain - Bottles refill automatically and instantly in fountains, so spam your Bottle to heal faster. The faster you can heal in a fountain, the faster you can get back out to battle!
Buy Before You Die - Be aware that you lose unreliable gold when you die. If you know death is imminent, access the shop and quickly buy your next item. The item will be waiting in your stash when you respawn!
Armlet Toggle - Armlet of Mordiggian toggling can help you survive in situations where you would normally die. Turning it on gives a +25 strength bonus and increases your health. The armlet drains health while in use, so you what you want to do is turn off the armlet with lower HP and then quickly toggle it back on, granting you a health boost. The cooldown period is 2 seconds. An armlet that has been turned off drops your HP for a brief moment, so be sure you aren't taking damage over time and make sure you're not about to sustain an injury from an attack.
Drop Attribute Items to Get Restorative Bonuses -?When you're looking to restore health or mana, drop items that grant attribute boosts. Then use your restore. Doing so will give you a higher amount of health/mana in your pool, once the items are back in your inventory. From the percentage-based health/mana gauges, you receive a very helpful bonus. Items can be picked up or destroyed by other heroes, though, so do be mindful of your surroundings before you drop.
