Concepts

Guild member talked about farm priority from 1-5
Normally the priority is:

1. Safelane core - PA, AM etc the guy we want to have lots of gold by end of game
2. Usually Mid core- Drow, troll, puck, shadow fiend, pudge.  Take the #1 through to end game
3. Offlane core - usually a tanky or ganky or someone with a good escape and harrass.  This person is suppose to disrupt their safelane core
4. Offlane support - harasser, gets some gold in lane - eg lion, mirana, jakiro is responsible for courier
5. Safelane support - babysits safelane core, pulls lane, stacks camps - CM, dazzle.  Is responsible for wards

What we need to work on:

Stacking camps for carries
Placing wards carefully - squishy #5 supports should buy wards and let the #3 and above place
Note you can buy wards and drop them in base from anywhere on the map.
Smoke ganking
Damaging towers - everyone but #1 mid game should always be aiming to damage a tower
Maximising last hits
Maximising denies
Not standing and tanking creeps.  Just step back when you are being hit by creeps when you are with a wave.

  2. does everyone know creep agro will 'reset' every 2 seconds. so if you time it correctly you can harrass without taking damage. i defo need to work on this but trying.

    1. If your creeps are pushed onto enemy high group you can pull the back into the river by target the enemy, as the draws creep agro.
