Hello everybody! I just started playing ranked again (Guardian V) after a pretty long break from the mode where I polished my skills a bit and started getting matched with high Archons in Normal MM. My first two games back I felt like my supports where actively feeding and the laning phase was made very difficult for me. We eventually came back and won both games but I was wondering if ya'll could take a look at these games and let me know what I can do in these situations to improve my lane.

Match ID: 8945998109

This game I had a Spirit Breaker pos 4. He was in lane very little and seemed to be feeding kills across the map. I was able to stabilize ok and contribute after lvl 6 but laning was painful. Is there something I could have done while Breaker was away to get an advantage?

This game I was paired with a Grimstroke pos 4. The lane just felt awful. He died multiple times and I felt powerless (more so than usual). What are the main mistakes I made here, and how can I improve in the future?

I look forward any help from you guys!

Hi everyone! I'm just now returning from a D2 Break since ROTW came out (finally able to afford it lol) and I wanted to try an elemental build to clear the game with. Assassin is my favorite class so I was looking at doing a trapsin but realized that she would have a very difficult time clearing Hell with a single element. Would it be viable to spec into a Fire/Light hybrid since Fireblast gets meaningful scaling from Lightning anf Charged bolt sentry? If so, how would I go about progressing with this character? Alternatively I was looking at trying a singer barb but I hear they have trouble in higher difficulties.

Any help is greatly appreciated.l!

Hi everyone, I'm just coming back from a long hiatus to Dota, having last really played in 2014. I played League first and for a long time (Having quit about a year ago due to anticheat not working properly on my old laptop), but serious personal issues mean my skills have drastically declined from my peak MOBA level back in 2014/2015. I'm in a much better place now mentally and physically and want to get back into it.

Here's my DotaBuff page: Espeon - Overview - DOTABUFF - Dota 2 Stats

I used to be a Jungle main in League, but since that doesn't really exist in Dota, I'm learning how to lane all over again. Calibrated into Guardian V and would like to break into Crusader within a month. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
