THE MILLER BATTLEPASS

Generic Strat

Positive winrate strategy for us tends to focus on 3 scenarios :

  • Outdrafting their teamfight
  • Pushing and ganking from minute 10 as a split group
    • Pushing and fighting 4v5 while Mega flash farms and rats out of control


Outdrafting

Simple Geometry.jpg
  • First two bans are focused on shit you hate, and shit that they repeated.
  • First two picks are focused on safe choices: one support and one core.
  • Second two bans are focused on shit you can't handle, shit they want, or shit you also hate.
  • Second two picks just fill the gaps you've had. Gotta start thinking about synergy and greed at this point.
  • Last ban is last ban.
  • Last pick is Dendi pick

Split Grouping

Just about every team does this in some variation.

In general, you want at least one support who can instantly catch someone. In addition, lanes should be set up so that at least two lanes can be won or stalemated without a support in it.

  • Mega or Korns can often win their lanes, provided that the match-up is favorable.
    • If we pick a mid early (probably for Korns), it is ideal to leave a support slot open for a strong roaming hero, in case he is in an unfavorable match-up.
  • Data thus far heavily hints at mid-lane domination; high level teams have been emphasizing the mid-lane as well.

Player Profiles

Brandon

  • Can initiate up the butt butt
  • Relies on being instructed on where to go as a support
    • Recommendation: Draft a safe lane that has a clear win condition for the lane, and permanently send Brandon off once that win condition is close to being met.

Ian

Korns

  • Can quickly snowball if mid lane is dominated
  • Relies on using mid dominant heroes that kill and move on
    • Recommendation: Draft a mid winning hero, or a very gank heavy pos 4 (Riki)

Gian

Mega

  • Highest networth known to man
  • Highest building damage known to man
  • Highest hero versatility known to man
  • I am the captain you dumb hoe

Professional Team Notes

Timings

  • Zero is defined as level 1 or 2
    • Level 6 might be needed for a full combo or utility, but these heroes can start dominating a lane from the start
    • These heroes are still capable of scaling
  • Early is defined as level 6
  • Mid is defined as level 12; key items like Blink are built around this time
  • Late is defined as level 18
  • Short is defined as not being reliant on having big spells up
  • Medium is defined as having downtimes around 30 seconds with regards to impact
  • Long is defined as having downtimes around 60 seconds with regards to impact
  • Very long is defined as having downtimes around two minutes with regards to impact

Role Definition

  • Assassins are often frail, but can quickly dispatch enemies
  • Brawlers can front-line, start a fight, and stay in it
  • Catchers can quickly disrupt opponents from using spells, preventing attacks or escapes
  • Defenders can prevent enemies from getting to towers, while often providing set-up
  • Disablers might not reliably initiate nor catch, but can heavily control the playing field (technically not the correct phrase, but whatever)
  • Healers save retards
  • Initiators start the fight and make space afterwards
  • Scouts are ideal for finding a target

Bolded heroes are very capable of pushing.

In a standard game, you probably don't need more than 2 of each role. Balance in all things.
