The Importance of Considering the Choice and Order of Items in Dota 2

Items is one of the important aspects of the game Dota 2, and it is your goal to collect gold and do farm. With items With the right approach, you can unlock the potential of your hero and carry out your role well in the team to win the game. Because of that, the team that can get items important they are faster considered superior in the game, because items it makes them stronger than the opposing team.

However, the matter of buying items not just “did you or your team managed to buy” items or not”. Items what you buy, and in what order you buy also greatly affects the strength of you and your team, and indirectly your chances of winning in the match.

All heroes have many choices items which synergizes with the attributes and skills which is owned. For example, a pretty Viper tanky would greatly benefit from a Mekansm that made it even more tanky and hard to kill. Sven will also benefit greatly if he uses Armlet which if activated can give strength which of course synergizes with God Strength.

But because one hero has one build, doesn’t mean you will only use build This is every game, regardless of other factors in the game. Wrong buy items means to throw away some gold for something basically useless.

Always pay attention to who you are playing with. For example, if when using Viper you have a Dark Seer as your teammate, maybe you should focus on items which gives damage than Mechansm. Otherwise, you’ll just throw away gold for items no longer needed. Finally, your strength as a hero doesn’t grow even though you’ve spent 2000 to 3000 gold, and you automatically can’t play well in the game.

Not only that, also pay attention to the opponents you face. If build what you use often turns out to be very ineffective against the opposing team, don’t insist on using it build the. For example, if while using Sven you face multiple heroes with damage overtime, you should not use Armlet, because the trick armlet toggle will be very difficult to do and will actually kill you.

Some heroes have one or two items what he needs in order to be able to contribute optimally. However items which one he should buy first must also be considered. Wrong order items will have the same effect as choosing the wrong one, i.e. you will throw away gold in bulk for items which is useless.

Let’s take an example. For example, you use Weaver who usually buys Linken’s Sphere plus one damage items (either Diffusal Blade or Desolator). But before deciding which one to buy, pay attention to the condition of the game. If the opponent has a lot single target disable, Linken’s Sphere you must buy the first time before damage items.

If in that condition you even buy damage items like Desolator before Linken’s Sphere, you’ll be in trouble. Indeed, you have damage which is quite large. But because the opponent has single target disable effective, you will die easily. You can’t earn damage desired, which means items what you buy is wasted because it does not produce results. 3500 gold that you drain on Desolator is wasted.

Never underestimate items cheap at the start of the game.

Indeed, some items like Ring of Aquila, Drum of Endurance, or even Magic Wand won’t give you damage super big or HP and armor that makes you very tanky. However items this will give you a bit of power that makes you a little stronger and can fight or defend in some skirmish beginning.

For example, when you face a hero like Bristleback for example, the Magic Wand is items which you almost have to buy. Besides giving you initial stats, items this will give you early regeneration at the crucial moment.

Also consider the needs and weaknesses of the hero you are using. If you use Lina for example, Magic Wand is also included items defensively useful. Items this will really help Lina who squishy to get regeneration or addition where at a critical moment in team fight which chaotic.

The same goes for items other. For heroes carry agility like Weaver and Luna, the Ring of Aquila can provide damage that helps last hits and regeneration where to keep issuing skills. For heroes who often do gank like Night Stalker, Urn of Shadows allows you to keep doing gank without fear of losing HP.

All early game items will give you a little strength that makes you stronger in early game. That way you can keep doing farm safely to get items your main.

Again, in every game, always consider what to buy. never ever autopilot in choosing build or items which you will buy. Always adapt to what you are dealing with and who you are playing with.
