General DiscussionWhat could I've done differently this match?

I dont have time to watch it but this is very easy matchup for Axe. Just hunger Lion and deny as much as possible. You need quell, gauntlet and 2 branches for that + tangos and salve. Maybe an early chainmail if you go for phases.

Your goal is to have upgraded boots, blink, blade mail under 20 min. In this particular game you need bkb after that. Then maybe armor or pipe and thats it when it comes to build.

1 point in hunger always and spam, spam it on their support. Phase + vang is a build where you usually max hunger and run people down that lack escape like silencer, wk. If they have heros like that you get tranquils, max passive and farm untill you have your core items.

You’re herald so.. you need a lot of practice. 69 last hits on Axe is ok when it comes to first 12 minutes not 38. You probably need basic laning tips. Also basic dota strategy which is the real problem, not this particular match. Watch BSJ or Speed from game leap. You have guides on youtube.

69 last hits? Like what were you doing whole game? Running in circles? Waiting in trees for perfect blink that gets fcked by puck?

Also Axe has different build for every game. This hero seems easy to play but is not rly that easy.

Wow herald xd
You just need to learn the game. People play so bad in low bracket

Enjoy the game while u learn it. Find ur favourite hero and spam him/her. It accelerates ur learning process

I nvr do so called replay analysis unless it is very high rank game and worth my time for it

Please learn how to play more safe, the kda on your heroes are pretty bad. By safe I don't mean scared or passive, but you need to know when you can go crazy and chase, go behind their tower to drag creeps, turn and call 3 heroes instead of running away from a gank and be more conservative. Make sure you creep aggro the wave, max your passive and find every chance you can to call an enemy that is close to the creep wave so it will be alot more likely to proc. This is also true for when you go for kills, always wait for them to be surrounded by creeps or have at least 1 hero close to them, the more the better. Once you get blademail it won't be necessary anymore as they'll commit sudoku on it when blink called. When you're up against evasive little shits like Puck you either make sure you're not being seen when going at them, through smokes and dewarding, or counter initiate. Axe is a huge counter initiator as people naturally tend to group up after their initiator has committed to focus the targeted hero, that's what Axe wants. In the first 15 min of the game your goal is to get blink+blademail, ignore the apes that lost their lane and are pinging you to tp in. Go tunnel vision on farming those 2 items and be as disruptive as possible when doing so, walk into the carry, cut waves + farm their jungle camp, do anything the weak pos 1 ape can't bear or anything to avoid facing a hero that melts you in lane (i.e. Drow and Luna). Vanguard is of great help as sustain and vs physical dmg from creeps and harass when doing so. It's also useful to farm ancients early on. Make sure you carry enough regen to lane and get a quelling blade, your goal is to stay there as long as possible and farm/deny as much as you can. You will learn though experience, don't play too many heroes if you wanna learn but rather spam 1 or 2. GL

no

Sorry about the late reply. It's hard to search questions that I post here. Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll definitely try to farm better and get blink + blademail by 15 min.
