    Bro ure channel realy helped me improve my mmr thanks !
  • @flin4557
    So happy I found this channel! The dota community really lacks this kinda content. A lot of people forget what is obvious to them is not obvious, I learn alot from your vids.
  • Very informative, i'll always keep this in mind. Tbh 2 weeks ago you only had like 600+ subs (I thnk??) Now the channel blew up congrats man you deserve it!
  • Yesterday I was like "look at me a strong independent support with no hex" and today this. Another happy modern coincidence.
  • @chilledbit
    started learning dota properly only recently, was just checkin out all your older videos and saw you just posted lmao. very informative stuff. I was placed at 1.1k mmr but fell to 600, hoping to climb back up.
  • Sheep stick! Great video again, thanks so much for this. I'm progressing just buy learning more about how these mechanics work
  • @bombthezoms
    nice spinning graphics for the stats little touches like that make the video shine
  • @ApexFungi
    These small lessons can come in handy during game, thank you. !
  • @flovnes
    hii love the focus on the current update, but it's not really mentioned in the video. would be awesome to see it at least once somewhere in the video ^^
  • @funguy398
    Good video, i have one question about passive and active effects: So bristleback passive or necrophos heartstop aura are working in a pig form? What about radience? And what about blademail it's working in hex?
  • Super video. Back in the day you are left to learn everything on your own. Can you explain the difference in base dmg and additional dmg
  • @grenadedFalafel
    Bro is cooking, keep this up great and very helpful content!
  • @bragot
    Awesome content. Great job!
  • @damarss7504
    can u explain about revenant brooch? cause sometime i still didnt understand that item, or assault cuiras cause i dont know when to build that item
  • @C.E.D.I.C
    Most carries in low bracket always neglect this item (esp. OD and Lina). As a support I always priorities this in late game to lockdown almost all enemy carry. Its so sad so many players dont know how OP this item is on late game
  • @ebirezaie2332
    hi, great item break down video. can you please do armlet in your next video? It's always been a mystery how this item works and how should I toggle it effectively. thank you
  • Hello BTV, any tips when you are getting stomped and you're earning so little to get items for countering or essentials?
