Basic Laning Guide

[daggertooth]

The problem is that noobs are wont to just play and never look on the forums, except to post their own QQ threads.
You might also want to add that Runes respawn every 2 minutes and the exact time that you should pull creeps at. i think it's somewhere around 21-22 seconds or 51-52 seconds idk.. i've only bothered to pull a few times and i just eyeballed it. it's a little harder in HoN because if the neuts aren't actively attacking you than your creeps won't aggro to them.

i find that 17 and 57 work best for a straight path to the creep wave, it minimizes the time in which the creeps are following you and therefore you take less damge from them.

THat would be 17 and 47

Thanks. If anyone needs this guide, it's me. I've been playing dota for years and i'm still a noob :P

Clarification, it's not 135 HP to deny tower, it's 10% of tower max HP I believe.

no mention of using aggro to pulll the confrontation closer to your side? i'd put this section right after the creep blocking section since they are related to keeping creeps on your side.

and place harrassment section right after it, since it touches on aggro as a bad thing. (chain topic flow)

when you're up against a hard lan,e you just try to stay in range of exp, and forego the gold. not sure if u mentioned this.

conversely, if you are a ranged hero, you can place yourself in front of the creep confrontation, and your attack radius in the opposite direction will push your enemy farther back out of exp range, disallowing him to passively gain exp. this is somewhat related to harassemnt so i would have this section next

You can attack-cancel by clicking A on the creep, then quickly hitting S before the attack animation finishes. Repeat this quickly, and you have a timing advantage if your attack is already in mid-animation when the creep hits last-hit HP range.

this sometimes leads to you changing targets due to auto target acquiring, does it not?

[WSLaFleur]

Brilliant and comprehensive. That's just my two-cents.

After reading your guide, I went from completely overwhelmed to somewhat overwhelmed.

Great job, and thanks!

I'm pretty sure that denying towers is >10% hp

[Padawanabee]

Correct. But the 1st towers have 1350, so it's true for them, at least.

Fantastic guide! Even as a decently experienced player, I still found many extremely helpful tips inside your guide. Thanks a ton.

Note: Towers can be denied when they are sub-130 HP, not 135, iirc.
