I've been playing dota/hon on and off for a while and would like some help (like ss vs dev?)
I'm like 1700~ mmr so I'm not that awful, but am still somewhat noob with soulstealer so advice is always nice ^^

Lmk if there are any particular match ups I should know about too

Sounds pretty wise....

But tbh some devs just outsmart or outclass me. I need to know how to survive vs good ones :S

i'm assuming uwant general play tips

my advice (for pub) is start with tango + 4x totem

fast bottle -> start razing for creep and harass (at same time) at level 3. control runes, get either pk or shrunken or maybe manta first item after steamboots depending on lineup. push wave with nukes before rune spawns, keep lane controlled in meantime.


1v1 is alot more technical for SS vs SS, basically just comes to always saving mana and keeping lane control


e: i have played this hero a massive amount in dota, was undefeated in BO3 SS vs SS matches though had some close runs. if u want specific tips pm me, cba typing all out here

steamboots micro is pretty key on ss

Don't buy regen at the start, don't get hooked, buy a ward for the high-ground.

ss is so easy to beat as dev

just get near the mother fucker, rot him, he is riding back to his tower zig-zag style, fake the hook once or twice jiggle billy style, then pull that fucker in.

2x of the +3 strength things, 2 major totems, a tango and healthpot, and mid is ez.

I always started with tangoes/2x branches ofc. Then I'll either add 2 more branches, a health pot, or duckboots depending on who I'm facing.

I usually start razing at 5..I'm guessing that's much too late?



Already do it ty ^^



I like this.....



This is what usually happens. I don't get outright hooked very often, but if I slip up and Dev is within rot range I'm almost always dead.

He was asking how to defeat the devo, when he's playing the SS. Jesus Christ man, at least fucking read his post.

except when he triple razes you while you "get near the mother fucker" then tanks your hook and kills you anyway.
