Practice simple mechanics, like last hitting, learn to watch the map and be aware of when ganks may be coming. Also, rewatching yourself after the game is great to help you figure out what you need to improve. Purge has been playing for a think over 3 years and he still keeps improving his gameplay, it takes a long time.
He drops all the items that increase his maximum health pool so that the salve will heal a greater percentage of his HP. Then when he picks up the items again he keeps the same % of the health pool that he gained, meaning that the salve effectively healed him for more than 400. It's the same principle as treads switching when you use bottle (you change to agi treads so that your mana and health pools are smaller and the bottle charges will go further).
@Blazingwheel because he is a swell bloke (but seriously, he's a good teacher, decent player and has alot of experience whilst still he is willing to piss about at the right times)
It makes him have less stats, this means that the salve heals a greater portion of his overall health. Once this is done he picks up the items again and his health is healed proportionally more than if he were to have used the salve with the items in his slots.
removing the stat items gave him lower overall hp, so the salve healed a greater total percentage of his life. for instance salve heals 400 hp; say you're at 500/1000 hp, but if you take off stat items you go down to 500/900 hp. if you use the salve you'll be at 100% hp, so when you pick up the stat item again you'll be at 1000/1000, as opposed to 900/1000 without taking off the stat item
The rule I have with lone druid is that if you get dmg items on the bear you get bear form and tanky items, but if you get the dmg items don't get anything aside from boots and midas so the bear is only for tanking creeps and rooting targets.
Silencer can do lots of damage early on without the need of any big items. The same can be said for Outworld Destroyer. The problem with these two heroes is that they are very easy to kill, and Mek is an incredible item, effectively negating 250 damage. There's no better way to make sure you do damage during a fight than staying alive.
It's more of a nicety to your team than anything required. He's right good map awareness trumps mia calls making them pretty unneeded, but it's always good teamwork to communicate it anyway.
Against a dual lane, getting more levels in Curse is a fairly effective option. In a 1v1 situation, more levels in Last Word is the better choice since Curse is not particularly mana and damage efficient when cast on a single hero.
It an item that improves the ultimate of some characters. in silancers case, it will do a guaranteed 350 magical damage to all enemy heros, as well as increasing the length of the ultimate by 1 second. Its really only good on this hero if you have aoe heavy teams or your getting ridiculous freefarm and you can get it early. If you can get it before everyone gets lots of health, this item could easily net you kills in the early and mid game
Unboxed a crate with a gifted key, got a silencer shuriken out of it. Watched purges video, when i finished it there was already a new one up. Just perfect :D
Yeah, a savle heals you for 300ish health (or something) and if you remove the items that increase your health which decreases your health), then savle, then pick your items up, your health percentage will remain the same as when you had your items dropped, meaing that you get a larger heal out of it. Pretty damnn useful if you're not in any imidiate danger while you're healing.
Really wish i knew more about the match-making in dota 2. I've been placed in 2 "high" skill bracket games when solo queuing, but the rest of my games (other than a few more that were queued with some friends) are in the normal bracket. Is this a fluke or does it mean I'm somewhat close to the high skill bracket? Valve hasn't ever really released much on how the mming works as far as I've heard.
If you wanna go "pets", sub out pl and morphling for beastmaster, enigma, visage, undying, lycan, warlock or maybe invoker for summons or chen or enchantress for converted creeps- goes better with the theme than illusion heroes like pl and morph IMO.
Why no Orchid? I feel like that item is one of the best early-ish items for an int-carry. Attack speed, lots of damage, even more damage on int-carries like OD/Silencer and an extra silence just for lulz. Also: Aghs on carry-Silencer isn't great - rather use the slot for a Shiva's or something. Seems effective for utility-mid/support Silencer though.
They aren't really brain dead its just the things you think about more are item choices and especially map awareness, they may seem easy but fro the first 15 to 20 mins of each game it is really tough to stay alive against a half decent team that doesn't just let you free farm with them. On the flip side if you let a hard carry like that free farm and then they right click their way to victory you don't really have anything to complain about.
i think actually noticing a tiny mia call in a chat that fades after a few seconds is a little more ridiculous than looking at a map that is always there glancing down at the map will not lose someone a kill but will surely save them a death
This is why you but things like Smoke of Deceit, or cut through the jungle when you cross map gank. So people who would see you won't and you can more easily get the drop on them.
It's the habit I guess. I did the same thing while playing dota 1 and I do it in dota 2 as well. It has no other "functions" or things like that, it's just a matter of habit and what you get used to. Some people do last hitting with auto-attack ON and constantly spamming "S" till the creep is low and then release the animation for last hit. Some are doing it with autto-attack off and only aproach creeps for a hit. Some go back and forth near creep till they are ready to hit. Habit :)
It takes a lot of practice and it also depends on the person. Someone who naturally has better reaction time can arguably get better at last hitting than someone with worse reaction time. If you are clumsier and a slower than the pros you probably won't get 199/200 last hits even with the same amount of training.
Purge please make another lone druid gameplay...I really dont know what to build considering armlet is not good for the bear...I dont play LD now since the patch
I don't play DotA, but maybe someone can answer my question. I've noticed that heroes have different costume pieces that can be swapped out. What, if any, can Guardian Wisp wear?
It has to do with not knowing what he'll be laning against as well as what will be useful, you wait early because you don't know which skill you'll need and you can only have one.
Anyone know why Purge waits to level up his skills? In the video he waited till lv 2 to distribute his first points. Is this just some meta-skill I am not aware of, or is it just because the skills wont be used for a bit?
yeah, im not saying you shouldnt call miss, but it seems a bit unnecessary most of the time, since you can easily tell by looking at the minimap if someone is missing. i don't personally care if someone doesnt call miss, if someone just disappears from lane from a lil while. its a lot different though if you see a bara backing off to charge someone. that's something you can't see by just looking at the minimap, and i appreciate it way more if your teammates report this, instead of just saying ss
by dropping the items he has a smaller health pool so the health pot gives him a higher percentage of health and when he picks up the items he keeps the same % of life therefore giving him more health from the pot
I personally never put silencer in a carry role. Either I take him mid and gank or I lane support with him and transition into a quasi dps support like enchantress. If I want to int carry I may as well role OD
Pretty convinced that the reason for armlet bear is that the top guides still say to get it. If you haven't seen the patch notes and just follow the guides your pretty much clueless :p
omfg finally purge!!! silnencer is my favorite hero !!! but ;carry silencer, would be better it fits nearly allsituations no matter what they pick except some heroes like naix but if you can snowball there is no counter I think even naix maynot handle dat dps sorryfor my english btw
at his level of play it's not as necessary since most higher level players will look at the map before making a decision to do anything dangerous or risky. It's considered more of a courtesy at that level.
I have how safe all of Purge's item choices are. Other than the game he rushed a Dagon on Prophet, he always goes cost-efficient stat items into BKB. YOLO a little! Buy a Bloodstone! Rush an Orchid! LIVE!
To be fair, is Armlet really that bad on spirit bear? It's not broken any more but the bear has a shit ton of HP, it shouldn't be that phased by the drain.
Focus on one thing at a time. Play with bots. Pick 1 hero and get good at him. One you have your hero, start with bots on easy (for a few games to get good at last hitting) and also watch purge for his guides, then go up to medium and so on. Goodluck man!
for some reason all the text in-game for me looks like shit and the small text is tough to read. I've tried playing with graphics settings but does anyone know what the issue is?
oh man someone fed me until i got supper fat and my dmg was over 300 without the glaives and plus side was that it was one ability draft and i had flesh heap so i was unstoppable unfortunately i couldnt get duel but how awsome would that be?
Man you got such a deep voice it calm's me every time i always watch your games when working on my insomnia thank you! :D
"Holy shit I just denied the bear...Well I hope he doesn't notice" - LOL laughed way too hard at that XD

It's the same principle as treads switching when you use bottle (you change to agi treads so that your mana and health pools are smaller and the bottle charges will go further).
I wish people played silencer right, he has such good potential. I use him as a carry and it works damn well
@Blazingwheel because he is a swell bloke (but seriously, he's a good teacher, decent player and has alot of experience whilst still he is willing to piss about at the right times)
That announcer form "Bastion" is so good! Love it! :D
It makes him have less stats, this means that the salve heals a greater portion of his overall health. Once this is done he picks up the items again and his health is healed proportionally more than if he were to have used the salve with the items in his slots.
damn purge, a video everyday :D dude...this is amazing like seriously this is great :)!!
11:06 That scared the jesus out of me. Didn't even flinch in the slightest :D
removing the stat items gave him lower overall hp, so the salve healed a greater total percentage of his life. for instance salve heals 400 hp; say you're at 500/1000 hp, but if you take off stat items you go down to 500/900 hp. if you use the salve you'll be at 100% hp, so when you pick up the stat item again you'll be at 1000/1000, as opposed to 900/1000 without taking off the stat item

his attack animation is the only one that I feel %100 comfortable with .
"he got hooked out"....purge gets hooked

Games with Blitz are awesome... I hope you will do more :)

Always let the tower hit the catapult three times, most of the time it'll barely leave it alive.
Can you play silencer again now there's been updates?
do you think aghs is worth it on Silencer? Wouldn't going for a hex be more worth the money?
Unboxed a crate with a gifted key, got a silencer shuriken out of it. Watched purges video, when i finished it there was already a new one up. Just perfect :D
I can't find any good video about playing silencer. Is the combo eq? Is that how you should looking for dealing damage?
Yeah, a savle heals you for 300ish health (or something) and if you remove the items that increase your health which decreases your health), then savle, then pick your items up, your health percentage will remain the same as when you had your items dropped, meaing that you get a larger heal out of it. Pretty damnn useful if you're not in any imidiate danger while you're healing.
Laughed pretty good at that bear deny.
Purge i need more videos, have watched like all your videos (is there any others good dota2 casters on youtube)
"your top tower is under atta-- oops you missed that last hit."
That's exactly what he was trying to say. The joys of internet sarcasm.
I'd love to see him open the new chests that just came out!
Really wish i knew more about the match-making in dota 2.

It basically means that he took control of the courier and he's telling the person who was using it to get it to redeliver .
Looking at the map from time to time, is something everyone should learn to do. You should never count on someone calling missing or not.
If you wanna go "pets", sub out pl and morphling for beastmaster, enigma, visage, undying, lycan, warlock or maybe invoker for summons or chen or enchantress for converted creeps- goes better with the theme than illusion heroes like pl and morph IMO.
Purge what keyboard do you have? :D does it have red or brown switches?
hey purge what software do you use to record your games?
Why no Orchid? I feel like that item is one of the best early-ish items for an int-carry. Attack speed, lots of damage, even more damage on int-carries like OD/Silencer and an extra silence just for lulz. Also: Aghs on carry-Silencer isn't great - rather use the slot for a Shiva's or something. Seems effective for utility-mid/support Silencer though.

*misses a last hit
purge: ups ...
everytime
i think actually noticing a tiny mia call in a chat that fades after a few seconds is a little more ridiculous than looking at a map that is always there glancing down at the map will not lose someone a kill but will surely save them a death
Oh my god when you denied that bear I rofld so hard
This is why you but things like Smoke of Deceit, or cut through the jungle when you cross map gank. So people who would see you won't and you can more easily get the drop on them.
Why do you keep doing the square with your mouse everytime you try to last hit?
Now whenever I search Purge in youtube, all I see is that damn The Purge movie. -.-
It's the habit I guess. I did the same thing while playing dota 1 and I do it in dota 2 as well. It has no other "functions" or things like that, it's just a matter of habit and what you get used to.

I've been fond of Midas on carry Silencer, actually. If you get free-farm, you can get ridiculous with the Midas gold very quickly.
Quick question, why does Purge's Pudge and the Pudge in the video have an apron? I've been playing Pudge but dont have an apron, just a plain belly.
It was in the description
It takes a lot of practice and it also depends on the person. Someone who naturally has better reaction time can arguably get better at last hitting than someone with worse reaction time. If you are clumsier and a slower than the pros you probably won't get 199/200 last hits even with the same amount of training.
Why did he drop his mek magic wand and circlet? was it just to make sure his salve wouldn't wear off?
Purge please make another lone druid gameplay...I really dont know what to build considering armlet is not good for the bear...I dont play LD now since the patch
I don't play DotA, but maybe someone can answer my question. I've noticed that heroes have different costume pieces that can be swapped out. What, if any, can Guardian Wisp wear?
19:40 Purge: Ugh my attack speed is so, so bad...
Silencer: Shut it!
Silencer my favorite carry! That int steal :P
It has to do with not knowing what he'll be laning against as well as what will be useful, you wait early because you don't know which skill you'll need and you can only have one.
Why not aghanim scepter on Silencer as a late item?
Makes sense, thanks mate.
I think a game of Huskar after the update would be appropriate.
da hell kind of key bindings is that for the abilities?
Legacy hotkeys. Basically the same hotkeys used in Dota 1/WC3.
why did you drop all your stuff @ 15:08 when you healed yourself with salve? :)
Anyone know why Purge waits to level up his skills? In the video he waited till lv 2 to distribute his first points. Is this just some meta-skill I am not aware of, or is it just because the skills wont be used for a bit?
Does anyone know why he drags his cursor over the minion he is last hitting? Like the box thing.
yeah, im not saying you shouldnt call miss, but it seems a bit unnecessary most of the time, since you can easily tell by looking at the minimap if someone is missing. i don't personally care if someone doesnt call miss, if someone just disappears from lane from a lil while. its a lot different though if you see a bara backing off to charge someone. that's something you can't see by just looking at the minimap, and i appreciate it way more if your teammates report this, instead of just saying ss

"Scared the bejesus out of me."
Me too. :( They need to change NP's ulti sound...
I personally never put silencer in a carry role. Either I take him mid and gank or I lane support with him and transition into a quasi dps support like enchantress. If I want to int carry I may as well role OD
Implying that someone who are too distracted to glance at the map are gonna notice "ss mid" in the chat
Is aghanihms scepter worth it on this hero now?
Pretty convinced that the reason for armlet bear is that the top guides still say to get it. If you haven't seen the patch notes and just follow the guides your pretty much clueless :p
Not every time :P
Purge:(softly) "oh no!"
2:25
clasic silencerrr
omfg finally purge!!! silnencer is my favorite hero !!! but ;carry silencer, would be better it fits nearly allsituations no matter what they pick except some heroes like naix but if you can snowball there is no counter I think even naix maynot handle dat dps sorryfor my english btw
That somebody wanted the courier and he stopped it.
at his level of play it's not as necessary since most higher level players will look at the map before making a decision to do anything dangerous or risky. It's considered more of a courtesy at that level.
I see! Thanks for the info.
pudge + ring of protection = guy who just finished tutorials?
You only need 10 seconds of not seeing a enemy in your lane before it can go wrong in another lane.
I have a red switch keyboard currently.
WE WANT PURGE CAST A PUB!
If he bought Deadalus - would he be able to crit while using his orb (W) ?
Takes time and lots of practice. Just keep at it.
I have how safe all of Purge's item choices are. Other than the game he rushed a Dagon on Prophet, he always goes cost-efficient stat items into BKB. YOLO a little! Buy a Bloodstone! Rush an Orchid! LIVE!
glad you really gave a lot of thought on this comment! gz!
Does anyone know how purge made his minimap markers larger?
To be fair, is Armlet really that bad on spirit bear? It's not broken any more but the bear has a shit ton of HP, it shouldn't be that phased by the drain.
more like #hardwork #dedication
how did u get that sound pack its cool :)
Focus on one thing at a time. Play with bots. Pick 1 hero and get good at him. One you have your hero, start with bots on easy (for a few games to get good at last hitting) and also watch purge for his guides, then go up to medium and so on. Goodluck man!
if Im not mistaken it's the Bastion pack
for some reason all the text in-game for me looks like shit and the small text is tough to read. I've tried playing with graphics settings but does anyone know what the issue is?
Should make a team that has all "pets". PL, broodmother, lone druid, nature's prophet, and morphling.
what was venom doing that game? purge i think you need to show him how its done.
I kinda like Silencer, but yesterday i did the worst thing. Tried him agsinst Nyx. What was i thinking....
the aghanihms is viable right?
oh man someone fed me until i got supper fat and my dmg was over 300 without the glaives and plus side was that it was one ability draft and i had flesh heap so i was unstoppable unfortunately i couldnt get duel but how awsome would that be?
Good on ya bro
So proud of u
24:45 how can you attack without clicking on creeps?
i dont know this putge is he named after the dota 2 hero pudge?
Gotta love the Captain Obvious remarks from Blitz
I really need to see you open some chests soon. :)
In higher skill games, people are expected to have one eye on the map at all time.
