Tips for playing intelligence?

[CriticalHit]

I know how to play agility and strength but any help on how i could play intelligence heroes better? I mean for random picks and such, general tips plz

[zounce]

Umm... I think you need to read some dota 2 basic guides first, you shouldn't need to learn how to play int heroes seperately.

dont random. honestly it's randomers that cost many games as it is rolling things they dont play well/at all

Im not that noobish but i just want to know a general rule or something. I mean random so i can start playing more heroes
Thanks though.

Intelligence Heroes have more starting mana than the other hero types. So, they can spam their spells often. You can harass the opposing lane by spamming your spells.

Randoming is a fine way to start the game, at OPs level nobody should care except the dumb smurfers who don't realise that they're playing with newbs.

Any recommendations on items? Like for example yasha on a generic agility? etc.

It depends on whether your hero is a support or carry. Heroes such as jakiro should buy wards and mekansm and later build a pipe of insight etc.

Builds are more dependent on each individual hero's roles than anything else.

One of the things beginners do wrong is assume that:
Int = support
Str = Initiator/tank
Agi = carry.

Just read guides on specific intelligence heroes you want to play.

Then any recommendations on heroes? I want to get out of the assassin/agility playstyle i have right now. Mostly play BS, PA, PL, TA, BH and a little jugger

I was pretty sure hours counted as soon as you went back online, but okay. If you want to do bots you can still have the game in online mode.

I think you need to understand the baisics of the 3 types before you try to play one.
try going into the dota wiki and read some beginners tips

u wanna play int heroes, buy mantle, then a Scythe of vise, Ez pz (on a more serious note: int heroes normally have a good disable, team up with your agi hero to just start getting things dun if u get an enemy in a wrong position)

EDIT: not creeps tough, never do that early game

Force staff is your friend on a lot of them

I know how to play agi so there's that but my friends want me to go intelligence sometimes. I'll try that then.

K so items i could get in a generic intelligence build are scythe and for starters a mantle? Could I go for an orchid? I mostly use that on my agi heroes tho
