In order to become better at something, one must know what steps to take in order to achieve what you intend to be. In becoming better, one must learn to act and do what should be done with the help of some guides and tips. In playing online games like Dota, you must learn to take some steps and eventually do something in order to become a better player. At first, I don't really know how to play Dota until I became interested in it and I really want to become a better because I feel jealous whenever I see people playing and they really play well. Then, I've started watching some games of the Dota players in our place and I also started practicing until I became better at it.
All of us can be better at things. In order to be a better Dota player, one must follow some tips on how to be better at playing Dota. There are seven tips on how to better at playing Dota. I've found this article entitled; "Seven helpful tips on how to become a better player", by Derek Gutierrez which really helps in order that a player will improve more in playing Dota.
Tip # 1: Do not try to get better at “Dota”. Instead, try to get better at “an element of Dota”.
This means that one must focus first on one thing in particular because it will help you to be focus on a single goal like last hitting. People intend to do everything at the same time which is not good for first timer because he/she will not know on what to focus more. Focus first on single element and if you think you're good at it, try another element because the key in order to better is taking things one at a time. The author said that," The only way to practice these aspects is just by playing the game itself and watching how professional players play them out. Improving on the basics first, however, will let you focus solely on the task at hand, allowing you become better at that certain aspect quicker than normal. This says that you must try the basics first before you proceed to another thing.
Tip #2: When you've gotten good at a lot of the same types of elements, combine them and learn how to balance them.
It tells that if you already good at lot of elements, combine them in order for you play the game well, but you also need to balance them and it is difficult at first. Practicing on elements once at a time is really a big help for you in order to combine things and make it much easier because you've already works on the timings. Just keep on practicing yourself with it before you join in match. Keep practicing on timings so that when you play against human opponents, you will adapt what you have practice and also watch the match of some professional players.
Tip #3: Make fewer changes and more adjustments.
Sometimes, people became dramatic when something starts to goes wrong. This style will not work because all you just need is to adjust details on the plan in order to become successful. Making some adjustment to your play style and tactics is more beneficial to players overall progress because these adjustments will allow you to continuously practice your core concepts on things all over again so that you will find what core concepts work best and you will be able to play well.
Tip #4: Do your homework
It means that you should read manuals and guides about different things about the game like on hero’s abilities, the layout of the map, typical item/skill builds and play styles on heroes, and anything else you think are useful. It will help to gather knowledge that will make you better prepared when you face different heroes and strategies in order for you to adjust in the game.
Tip #5: Seek help and learn from others
Don't be afraid to ask help from others even if they are your friends or some sort of strangers online because it will help you learn some things that a friend of yours knows about the game. You can also find and ask someone to coach you on playing in order for to become knowledgeable about it. Try to read some manuals about it like hero guides, strategy guides, and anything else under the sun!
Tip #6: Practice, practice, practice
Play some Dota games everyday, but if you don't have enough time to play multiple matches,then at least play one match a day in order for you to become consistent on it. Practice last hitting and denying, learn the mana cost, range, and animations of your spells, experiment with item builds, and read a few guides. If you go into a game and feel confident in your ability and do well, then great! That’s one less hero you will have to worry about learning. Practice makes perfect, so don’t slack off and work hard so that you can become much better at the game!
Tip #7: Don’t give up
It is easy to feel down and overwhelmed when learning Dota, but don't ever think of giving up. When having along streak of losses, don't feel down for yourself instead you examine every game and try to determine what goes wrong and you need to practice and focus more in order to play the game well and win. "You can't expect to win if you don't know how to lose." Once you continue hanging on and practicing, I'm sure that you will be hooked by this game and you will become a better players when you keep on practicing and improving yourself.
All of us, even though first timers, can be better at playing such things and games. You just need to put more effort on practicing and keep following some tips and steps on how to be better. Don't ever give up on what your trying to be because this will help you to work hard and try to achieve things even unexpected.
