how to deal with spell-spam heavy heroes on mid?
So.. how to deal with spell-spam heavy heroes on mid?? talking about willow, lina, mage, QoP, etc. Currently, I just interrupt their mana pots, and trade their mangos for my salves, whilst saving 70-80% of mana in the case if their make a crucial for me mistake.

With them though I waste tons of gold on salves and it's hard to last hit under tower.

Buy sticks against anyone who spam spells. Abuse quas Regen, only switch to eee before hit, buy hood of defence, or early bracers, buy drops once they are available to survive full cast.
Also those are usually squishy, so harrass them when possible to make them choose between mp and hp. If they have bottle every two minutes send forge on one rune and go on other so they couldn't Regen Mana by bottle.

Pick hero with large hp pool who can trade like kunkka or just pick puck and they cant kill you, and the last one pick those heros by yourself so you can either dominate or learn their weaknesses

ok, when u know that a spell spammer is coming mid, u should hard counter them, how?
silencer pugna nyx and rubick are some of the best

I am learning to play ember, invoker and arc warden, so I rarely counter anyone, unless it happens by accident.
ok gl then but never spam heroes, this is dota not hots

spamming a few is the best way to learn
I played aganist qop 3 4 times I got 2 bracer and won my lane.

I spammed less in hots than in dota, to be honest. In dota thanks to items, you can be more flexible.

Hello my advice is:
1. buy a stick,rain drops
2.it is ok to trade regen dor xp in midlane
3.my personal favorite hero aganist enemy casters is Visage he is excelent and after lvl6 they usually cannot lane aganist you.You are playing mostly ember,warden and invo ? u can consider to add visage to your roster it is also fun but dificult hero.
4.invoker has kinda weak laning stage but after couple lvls it is decent hero use that quas ! and abuse cold snap it is very strong spell with low cd u cs
an also interupt enemy lasthits with it.
5.i dont know but arc warden is not that bad aganist most casters no ? their are squishy as hell usually and u have great nukes too and cast range is INSANE !!! no seriously fix that volvo.
6.u can consider buying normal cloak it is usually worth
7.also send out regen before u need him

this is how iam dealing with nukers
I hope it was helpful:)

thanks, man! I used to play Visage, but I just hate how squishy his ultimates are. Arc warden is good if I catch someone out of position, but it is also risky, because of my movement speed, it's easy for them to catch me and kill me, so I play very carefully.
