Need help for ranking up as Morphling in General Discussion
idontlikedota2pleasehelpm...

    To rank up, ive started to play morphling a lot and have around 50-60 games with the hero. I usually play mid morphling and almost always win my mid matchup, but i always fail to carry the game, and even though i have a good KDA and my team blames the hard carry, i believe its my fault that my team loses as im lost what to do when i hit my power spikes and when do i farm.

    This is one such game for example.

    if you guys could give me some tips on when i should start making rotations, what item builds should i generally go, and what i could have done better in this game to carry, bcuz after i hit my e blade i started rotating and helping my teammates a lot but eventually i messed up late game as i died too fast in two team fights which eventually led to me fucking up my team. Should i not roam and try to become as fat as possible as mid morphling or try to make the game for my carry much easier?

    Most of my morphling games go this route, where i have a good kda and good start, but eventually i fail to carry in the late game and mess up for my team, so i would really appreciate what i have to do as morphling and not be ignored, as i genuinely want to main on this hero as it has so much potential and a huge learning curve.

      All right. Few things.. I will commend you on stomping your lane. You did well, I guess item choices and your bad habits are the reason why you lose this game.

      All right. After you made e-blade your next item choice is Manta which is so useless? after you blew someone with your eblade combo you have no mana left and your Carry Heroe bcomes tank heroe since you cant do anything anymore , Your 2nd item should be, Hex or if you go for Orchid then go to blood thorn Or linkins if you cant click that much, just make sure you always have mana sustain to wipe them on team fights, You can use that to QP and the supports, Then if you see the carry go ahead and eblade combo them, You are always wasting your eblade combo on this game to support heroes why? Those sups cant kill you, waste of time, waste of mana waste of potential kill to their carry, you dont need to that. Thats why after you eblade combo their support enemy carries are ripping you apart.

      Number 2: Your bad habits, after you take towers you always go back on farm 3 dead and you want to farm?, like on this game, you push tower on top like 26 minutes, 3 dead, no one is pushing all of you back I understand that, if no one is pushing be man enough to push yourself they will follow you for sure if they see you taking towers, dont go back farming dude you already stomping the game! what you can also do is to ask your teammate instead of farming take the outpost ask them help you with roshan and tell them you give aegis to LC or Spec surely they follow, Look what your enemy do, they kill you go and take rosh and push top thats enough to win the game. Make up your Objectives, do not play passive. If no one is buying wards for your team, go ahead and buy it on your own so you will not be ambush on high grounds. Stand up for your team. If you need to deward do it aswell,

      Number 3: Stop Flaming your teamates if you die and they are farming, dude you are doing the same thing. Dont expect them to follow you if you jump on enemy high grounds look at the mini map where they are, ping them before you go, ask them if they are ready to fight. Killing enemy is not enough to win the game, Make your objectives straight, place wards on the map where you want your team to play. If no one is doing it, just do it yourself.

      Goodluck,

        It looks like you gave your acc to someone a day ago and now ur stats are completely changed

          As a former morphling player, I can tell you that you cant go far by sticking to morphling. This hero only works with smart people who understands your hero potential when using your ultimate. Most people in your bracket plays morphling without using his ultimate because they dont know how to use it. They think morphling is a good hitter and just build agility when they should be building strength and having a good mana pool in order to use the ultimate.

          Let me give you a clue, build meteor hammer on morphling. It gives you stats, regen and flash farm and your stun is long enough to allow you to land the stun from the hammer.

          Morphling is an extremely demanding hero, even more complex than that of Invoker. Cos your ultimate allows you to acquire different skill sets that must be disposed in quick succession that no normal person is able to handle. You think you are a pro, able to perform all sorts of somersaults and acrobatics when in reality you cant get the basics right. Unless you can reach the top university, top in class, avoid morphling at all costs.

            Only thing this divine 3 dog Said that is true is that ur item choices are shit.

            But so are his suggestions.

            Dont have any problems with e blade but afterwards you need a manta and a bkb. Havent watched the replay but idk why u go linkens here its fucking useless.

            If you have problems with mana u should ferry claritys.

            At your shitter bracket dont Even bother about what ur team is doing just play your own game and only tp into fights that threathen objectives.

            Split push and take towers alone. If alot of heroes are off the map you need to hide or go back.

            Dont be afraid to buy wards and only play toplane and radiant triangle if ur radiant or bottom lane and dire triangle if you are Dire. After laningstage obviously.

            Ur hero can take towers in matter of seconds. You dont win game from killing heroes or creeps. U win game from killing buildings.

            Pay attention to ur map or you will stay dogshit.

              These peoples advice isn't that good imo. Making hex and meteor hammer and that isn't really good. Just make a bkb after you have 2 items and you will be surprised how much stronger you feel.

              Annie-Mal

                Also yes its ur fault ur losing. You die 9 times vs 1 stun and a root that u can dispell. U shouldnt be able to die to jugger a single time if ur not retarded and this subhuman ogre didnt Even finish vessel

                  FIrst off tysm for helping me, i didnt expect such detailed replies and i put all your tips and tricks into my next morph game which was today.
                  I dont know if you guys are gonna see this, but i think its decent courtesy to reply to you all so here goes-

                    @Catto the Angwee cat

                    About tower pushing, i really tried to communicate with my team. My skywrath was the only person who cared about pushing, and ig lc helped me a lot as well, and im grateful, but i cannot push when their juggs and qop are alive, as they abyssal me and insta kill me with silence and omni. Also, my spectre wanted to go rosh when 5 dead when we could have taken barracks instead, which i think is the main reason why we lost, cuz i tried to solo push and died. And about the snapfire... well... he watches gameleap, so he was adamant that he wont leave our jungle until he gets his lvl 25 talent with daedalus

                    idontlikedota2pleasehelpm...

                      @KEKW Nope thats me sir. us crusader dogs arent all that bad , we just fall prey to gabens matchmaking system sometimes

                      idontlikedota2pleasehelpm...

                        @Dreadnight325 Idk if you trying to troll me, but yeah im not going hammer sir. Although i do agree that using his ult is super important, i think its better if i get the mechanical aspects of attribute shifting down before i move into using my ult.

                        idontlikedota2pleasehelpm...

                          @Take my wores to the hotel room

                          I went linkens cuz of the abyssal blades, but yes i guess i could have gone much better items instead. About warding, i did buy wards but it was really hard for me to get into their jungle as their supports knew they had to make space for their jugg and pa, whereas my supports were busy farming their daedulus. If you see this reply, Should i go deso on morph to solo push through backdoor protection if im desperate and my team wont listen, i realise this sounds ridiculuos but this is often the case

                            This is the most delusional thing you can say. Crusaders are terrible at everything starting from starting items. If you start blaming your team, that means you hit your current mmr peak level.

                            Its crusader bracket ! What you expect ? To get carried ? You have to carry them more than 50% of times to slowly grind. Watching youtube guides for carry helps, especially gameleap ones.

                            idontlikedota2pleasehelpm...

                              In case any of you are interested if i did get better, i read through all your posts and played a game with morphling

                              https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/5676763438

                              This game didnt start off too great, i gave away first blood to tinker, and died thrice within 7 minutes, bcuz i was fkin stupid to leave enough strength to survive tinkers bursts. This resulted in my support dcing and abandoning the game as unfort i failed mid, however i did keep my farm up and just hit creeps to keep me at a reasonable pace with the tinker. But unfort the tinker kept ganking side lanes and was beyond godlike within 20 mins, and my offlane cm started swearing in all chat and i cannot blame her, as i dont know how to deal with a mid tinker as morph.

                              But then i kept up my farm and got my e blade and started making rotations, and i had a really good riki and puck on my team, which helped me a lot. It was hard to take teamfights without witch doctor ults, and we lost around 3 of them and the tinker started snowballing really hard. Also, the enemy team realised i was p much the only threat and started going all out to counter me. TInker bought scythe, grim silcence, pudge vessel, even lc and jugg went bloodhtorn.

                              But this one item won me the game-BkB. All i had to do every fight was just shotgun the grim, switch on bkb and go bam bam bam and i ended up getting 3 ultra kills this exact same manner, as their silences are useless with my bkb. Also i warded myself to prevent getting caught out so yeah, all in all even though i was getting tilted i followed your tips and managed to climb through SEA hell.

                              So yeah ty for reading this if you are, and if any more tips pls do share, as i really want to play this hero to climb to archon

                                  And stop blaming ur team rofl. Its not ur teams fault if u die alone pushing tower. Ur just too bad to realise when to go back urself. Im curewntly smurfing in 3k and I literally never die playing offlane and i dont help my team a single time and still manage to win 85% of my games by just hitting buildings and having good map awarness.

                                    bro, the first step is to realize that your support and enemy support is in the same bracket. that means if ur support is dogshit, so does enemy support. always keep in mind that unless you playing party with high mmr gap, all 10 player is in same skill level (unless if there any smurf or booster ofc)

                                    LucaManny

                                      also how come u die thrice vs tinker lol. if u play morph, u need to estimate how much ur enemy nuke damage so u reserve hp just enough to survive. unless u bad at math and cant calculate a simple addition fast enough tho. but if that's the case, better find other heroes.

                                      on serious tips, if u play vs tinker other than reserving hp just enough to survive, u rush morbid mask and go jungle asap. tinker with virgin build (max laser + missile) will farm very very slow. and if he didnt get any kill with that build, his game is done

                                        survive, get fat, kill enemies, push towers, destroy ancient

                                          "Should i go deso on morph to solo push through backdoor protection if im desperate and my team wont listen, i realise this sounds ridiculuos but this is often the case" You cant suddenly backdoor unless you have got that mobility to do so. In the past morphling has that ultimate that allows you to teleport by using your illusion, but now this hero cant simply backdoor.

                                          If you think meteor hammer is bad, then provide a better item you should be equipping. Armlet is also a very good item to increase your dps very quickly, and you can escape the self damage with your morph strength. Maybe you are thinking blademail is better, cos it now has 20% passive damage and you can morph all the way to full strength and yet still do damage. By the way I am comparing between items of similar cost.

                                            oh my god
                                            ofc there is so much item better for morph than meme hammer
                                            you can go Euls for cheaper dispel or drum
