The REAL Dota2 roles. Secrets revealed!

Here you will find the hidden truth behind the hero roles. Forget what you knew, what everyone has told you! Roles are not what they pretend to be!

You have been tricked!

Valve and Icefrog have formed a conspiracy to trick all of you! Carries? Supports? Initiators? Junglers? Nukers?
All these are fake roles, covers to hide the real roles of this game! It's time you wake up from your sleep and enter the world of Dotrix now!
But relax, I'm here to explain you everything. But in the end red or blue pill, this will be your choice!

The myths about the classic roles.

Carry

Anti-mage is carry, Enigma is not carry. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! Carry can be anyone. Anyone who is willing to win this game by any means, is the true player that is gonna "Carry" your team to victory. A Lina that knows the true power of fire, a Dazzle that has more last hits than the Void in his lane, an Axe that goes Radiance 1st item, all those can carry your team to victory...sometimes. When someone says "pick a carry" what he really means is "we all got heroes we can't really play, we're counting on you now".
How to recognize a true carry?
Catchphrases true carries use: "plz someone buy courier"

Support

This is the most mischievous role in the game. While it says "support" they will not support you, your gameplay, your lane, your team, or your ideals! They wouldn't even support themselves. What really "support" means is "I'm the one that needs support"/
There are 2 kind of fake supports.
1) Supports that are picked during the 1st two picks of your team. These are either True Carries or Nukers. These will carry you to victory thus you need to support them, no matter what your hero roles was, it now changed; you're officially support.
2) Supports that are picked during the last 3 picks of your team. These are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (see below for the ♥♥♥♥♥ role).

Nuker

Nuker heroes are more than you think. Your Earthshaker is being chased by Bounty hunter and Queen of Pain, they tower dive with Haste rune and you gather your ♥♥♥♥, man up, execute a perfect ultimate hitting both, an awesome fissure of 200% skill that blocks Bounty Hunter in the trees while the tower hits him (he's dying in 2 seconds), and an even more awesome juke in the nearby try followed by Enchant Totem, leave QoP at 1 hit next to you who are rdy to deliver the final blow on her. But then....then comes the..... then comes the lighting from above. Zeus ultimate gets both kills, while your auto attack hits the empty air in front of you. Hot tears of rage and despair cover your cheeks while looking at your Earthshaker who now dies from the Shadow Strike that QoP threw to you before she died. Zeus continues his farming at mid, now that QoP is dead. This my friend, this Zeus, is NUKER.
A moment pause... and

Nukers are Thieves in disguise, ready to steal every possible kill if they can. They will pretend to be Support sometimes, but don't be fooled. They let you get some creeps, because they will get what they want later on. The kills.
Also they have a special rule applied to their heroes. Their target has 95% magic resistance always. That means 1250 damage is about the right amount of damage to kill someone with 50 hp.
Nukers are easily recognizable when you see "pick tank". or Dagon items.

Initiator

<--This is how proper initiation is done






This is a very special role. While Valve indicates that only some heroes are Initiators, this is entirely false. Everyone can be initiator. Initiator means, being at the wrong place, at the wrong time. That's how you initiate a fight. Everyone can do that. But players with 0 map awareness, tend to be extremely skilled initiators.
Initiators are divided into 2 categories:
-Initiators that remain initiators
-Initiators that become Farmers
You don't choose what category you are if you playing initiator. Your team does. If your team managed to reach you before you died and killed the enemies. Then you belong to the 1st category. You see that the teamfight was awesome and you build more hp and armor, so you can be better next fight. If your team didn't reach you in time, you belong to the 2nd category, you blame your team by saying "why no help" and your next item is Shadowblade. Then you stop initiating and you become a Farmer.

Jungler

Jungler is the most gay role in the history of Dota. Valve's definition of Jungler : "Jungler is a hero who can farm by killing neutral creeps". The true Jungler definition? It's : Jungler is a hero who has no idea of last hitting, is totally useless in lane and exp/gold on lane goes totally to waste on him." Thus jungler is not only enigma and axe for example, but can be a sniper with lifesteal or a omniknight with soul ring. It clearly depends on the player if he really is a Jungler or not. When you see "me woods" at picking phase, be prepared for a 4v5 game while your Jungler dwells into the wild forest, and for a 4v6 game when your Jungler comes out.
It's natural to blame your Jungler for all your deaths. This is what he is supposed to do. Take the blame.
On the other hand, Junglers tend to blame, as well, everyone for everything since they have lots of time for chatting while the mindlessly auto attack innocent creatures in the forest. Best way to handle a Jungler is to ward his neutral camps. Of course when he's your ally. If he's enemy don't bother, it's easy win for you.

The Hidden roles!

The Farmer

Your hero has to farm. And farm, and farm. Farm more. Farm until creeps turn around and walk towards their base when they see you. Heroes with this role will farm until they have 5-6 items, or the game ends. Anti-mage and phantom lancer are the best examples, but be careful, Farmer is not a set role from start, someone might change into Farmer in the duration of the game. For a Farmer you don't win if you destroy the enemy base, you win if you have 2 times the creeps of your enemy team and your allies added together. Otherwise you're a total failure of farmer.
Common catchphrases of a Farmer : "safelane farm", "pick support for me"







Usual things a Farmer is expected to do:
-choose the lane he likes, usually with the most creeps nearby
-buy quelling blade
-avoid having tp at all costs
-abandon any teamfight that accidentally got into, and run to the farthest lane from it.
-choose damage items at start, to boost farming e.g. battlefury
-choose skills that max his farming potential e.g. Drow with aura+stats

If you have more than 1 Farmer in your team, you probably cant win. Best way to utilize a Farmer is to draw enemies' attention to him. While they will be busy hunting him down, you can take some towers.

The ♥♥♥♥♥

This is also a hidden role. Every team has a ♥♥♥♥♥, you just don't know it, yet. A ♥♥♥♥♥ is the hero you will buy you a courier or wards, or maybe none of them. He will go to a sidelane and do random stuff. After maximum 3 levels, his/her mission will start. What's this mission? To make you lose your patience or the game. "omg void without bash", "stop feeding mider noob", "buy wards ♥♥♥♥♥♥", "ffs this game is lost", "retarded leshrac cant stun" , common phrases coming from a ♥♥♥♥♥. A ♥♥♥♥♥ usually wins 1 out of 10 games. Why? Because he/she's a ♥♥♥♥♥. To a ♥♥♥♥♥ the satisfaction inside the game arrives out of his ego boosting. He has nice K:D ratio? ♥♥♥♥♥ is happy. The team listens to the ♥♥♥♥♥? ♥♥♥♥♥ is happy. The enemy agrees with the ♥♥♥♥♥? ♥♥♥♥♥ is happy. The outcome of the game doesn't really matter. If you can't make the ♥♥♥♥♥ happy without losing the game, then you must learn to handle the ♥♥♥♥♥.
How to handle it?

The Noob

Usually comes with no avatar icon and a name that you used when you first discovered internet games in 5th grade. The pick is usually strength hero. Strength heroes tend to be more noob-friendly. The Noob misses all last hits, wastes his mana on lvl 1 spells until he can't cast anything more, buys boots and a potion at start and walks from t1 to base and back again, without really a reason.

One of the best examples (even if it's not strength hero):

The Boss

The Boss is mid hero (most of the times). This role tends to be extremely annoying if you are not in his team. He tends to have 2000 games more than you, has accuracy of bot with superhuman AI, he can cast 5 spells (the Boss plays heroes with more than 4 spells) while using the courier, signalling at minimap and chatting with his buddy that just logged in. He knows that your Earthshaker has a backwing time of 0.863 seconds and calculated that if you don't move he can land 2 attacks before your next attack, and if you move he has prepared a Sunstrike in that location. If on your team, he makes your game really easy, no matter how much you fail, he's gonna cover you, and probably win. Heroes that can be the Boss: Meepo, Invoker, Shadow Fiend, Windrunner, Chen, Pudge and many others. Taking mid from the Boss is like playing LoL.

The Stalker

Stalker heroes are following a specific target no matter what happens in the game. Once the 1st contact is made (the 1st kill), the contract is sealed, and the Stalker dedicates his game to kill the target repeatedly. He will purchase items that help his cause, such as Blink, Dagon, Etheral, Orchid, maybe even Hex (rarely) and hunt down his target throughout the game. This must happen even if he dies in the process, even if he sacrifices his allies, even if he loses the game. THE TARGET MUST DIE!
Heroes that are usually Stalkers can be: Clinkz, Lina, Lion, Drow, Rikimaru, Bounty Hunter, Axe, Necrolyte etc

Now you know.

Don't ever say, you don't. Now that you are fully aware for what your team composition might be. There is no excuse for your failing in the next game!

"He knows that your Earthshaker has a backwing time of 0.863 seconds and calculated that if you don't move he can land 2 attacks before your next attack, and if you move he has prepared a Sunstrike in that location." is this based off 3: 50 of your first invokerism video?
