General DiscussionWhen to rotate lanes?

Its ultra instinct

if you can reliably kill someone,go for it?
takes some game understanding tho,i ever played ls carry and i infest to cm/i forgot,some support that has a stun then we both gank mid together,was fighting ld mid
easy gold and you just tp back
basically if you have ult,and can go for a kill why not

dun ask me about sps,not understanding them that much

I think you may have some confusion about what 'rotate' means. usually when people say 'rotate' in a dota context they mean the supports going to a different lane to get something done.

You seem to be using it in a more normal non-dota usage where you switch up the cores to get a more favourable matchup. for example, moving a tide from offlane to safelane to face an offlane brood or switching a melee safelane to the offlane to avoid laning against bristle.

and yes, often the other team will switch lanes as well. generally always best to be the proactive party and switch when you choose rather than chasing someone around the map though.

They usually scout ahead to see which hero is where, then they walk all the way to the other lane to avoid a certain herobefore the game starts. Once the enemy notices the lane swap, It would be pointless to TP there because if they do enemy just TPs back to that lane. and they can't afford to walk all that way to the other side of the map and miss all the creeps. It's sometimes not this simple though, I have seen them sometimes go to a lane from start, then as soon as they get spotted they change lane (they trick the enemy), or when enemy invades their jungle for first blood and they notice the hero there, the hero immediately starts changing lanes because He knows enemy counter is going to show up in that lane.
