The carry rules

[Apocalypse]

When you play a carry, obviously you cannot be careless. That might apply to many roles, but never more important than while playing the carry.

Everyone wants to be the hero, only a few knows how to do it though. Some idiots farm the ancient at level 1, some defies every limit to get a kill, some blames every mistake on others. Obviously that's not how you play when you select a hero that is supposed to carry the team to victory.

My most important rule while playing carry, would be to not die, that matter more than the kills. No matter what it means, I try my best to avoid death while I'm under farmed in the early stages of the game. When I get farmed, and get kills, I completely deny them the opportunity to kill me.

What's your's?

my rule, do stuff the other team wont expect, catch them off guard, but at the same time have a backup plan to get yourself out of there incase it goes wrong, also, try to reach 50 last hits min per 10 min if you are carrying, and 1 kill can = 4 last hits

my most important rule when I want to pick a carry is, play Single Draft or Least Played, otherwise, if you pick a carry, you find yourself in a YOLO team of carry-pickers even if you picked first.

[Apocalypse]

I see carries that do well early game become over confident and do stupid things in team fights.
Which could be the worst thing that you could do, very less people realize how the comeback mechanism works.

As the carry: You are there to deal high physical damage, and without that you have little chance of winning the game. It's not about getting the most kills, it's not about taking all the credit, it's not about being the "hero". The only reason you're allowed to have farm priority is because you scale well with it, not that you "deserve" it more. You're just the spearhead, with your team doing most of the work to back you up. Never think of the carry as any more important than the other players, even though it's your job to be the damaging high-value target.

That being said, it makes me sad when I see carries that don't know how to ACTUALLY carry. These, coincidentally, are also the types of players that spend the whole game ganking and racking up KDA rather than pushing towers, and usually fountain camp at the end of the game.

I'm sorry, Carry is not the spear head, I defenitely dont consider a carry like that. An initiator can be the spear head. A carry has more duties than just deal damage, like map awareness, creating a plan, mostly the decision maker of the team and so on.

i just farm behind towers as axe, kill any amount of enemies who come to stop me, and the enemies miss levels away from their creeps going after me. typically am highest level in the game aswell as the highest net worth from level 1 and beyond. typically take enemy tower between 3 and 5 minutes, and typically blink to people and kill them before taunt even ends(and i watch my replays to confirm this happens which it does 10/10 games).

i infact had quite a few matches where i never had to go back to the fountain once, since axe's health regen is 3 when the vast majority of heros in the game have 0.25 health regen. these were those matches where i never died. ended up with crazy kill death ratio and no deaths.

[corbet]

i admit i lose sometimes as axe, but i never ever ever once ever had a negative kill death ratio in my lost matches, and i am still the highest level and net worth on both teams in the game on the few matches i lose as axe.

Last hit. The most important rule for carry. Last hit everything. Everything you see. Your creep or enemy one. Last hit.
The most tryhardic ranked way of getting bf/radience/midas.
Don't die for last hit is also important tho.

always make sure to kill steal with your axe ult regardless of the situation at hand.

Who told you that Axe is a carry?

The reason why I hate Axe players. I repeat, Axe is not a carry.

No, he's not a carry, but it is worth allowing him the kills. He uses the farm very well and is great at mopping up teamfights, a lot better than *some* carries.

[Archimo]

it's usually the mid laner thats the hero makeing plays, the carry is your backup weapon in case everything else fails if you made sure to protect your carry he can win the game as a last option.
