10 creative plays that you should try

Hey guys! Here are some plays I wanna share with you.All the demonstrations can be found here: https://youtu.be/PIVPHXwCtHM

1)Forting creeps

Usually used to stop creeps from dying so you can TP in, defending tower, using split shots to defend, baiting enemy to stay longer for the creeps so they are out of position, wasting opponent's mana and cooldown when they throw spells like meteor on it, etc.

You can actually time a fort to prevent a level that results in a kill. For example, playing against spirits, players will want their level 6 and will commit to getting it. Time a gank during their road to level 6 and use fort as they go for the last wave. Unlikely that your opponents expect it.

2) Oracle vs Silencer

Silencer + initiator is pretty strong against saving heroes but you can channel fortunes end the moment you see a play about to happen. Global silence will cancel the channel and dispel that global silence for you to save your core (or any hero).

3) LGD vs Secret Hi 5 War

When you're using hi5 on your high ground, playful players might randomly clap you for fun that will give away their high ground ward during the start of the game (night time). Vp.No one fell for it during that match tho.

4) Illusion rune + Fog vs Big Spells

If you're a core playing against big spells like doom, chrono, etc and you have an illusion rune. You can kinda micro 1 illusion to follow you as you intentionally reveal your position with spells then swap an illusion in the fog. Because it is an illusion rune, it is very unlikely that your opponent see this coming. And big spells = big cooldown = ez objectives

5) LGD NC smokes

Very interesting smoke plays by LGD. They expect certain camps and time their smoke gank as the NC camp spawns. Efficient carry players will clear the camps as soon as it spawns so free kill.

6) Morph Regen

Morph tread switch regen will take a long time to reset your health in the late game because you have a lot of stats. (Keep str change agi > drop str change str > repeat for free health but late game takes wayyyyyy too long). Instead, try this, keep str treads change agi > drop str treads and backpack all stats item then switch to strength before the item comes off the 6 seconds cooldown. Instant 2k HP regen for free ezclap.

7) Spectre laning

Similar to the techies play where you plant the proximity and stand on top of it to prevent it from getting hit. After farming with spectral dagger, you can make use of the phase mode to prevent cs by hovering around the creeps. Very annoying to CS against.

8) Chen attack speed

I'm sure you've seen chen + wd combo. Chen + tower is pretty freaking stronk. Tier 2 to tier 4 towers have split shot during fort. Only 1 target need to be penitence and you get super medusa in your base.

9) Courier Snipe

You can place a ranged creep in enemy base with chen and they won't get to use courier ever (unless someone TPs back to deal with the creep which still is pretty good)

10) Lich Aghs + Shard

You get to cast spells during sinister gaze with aghanim lich. You can plant the ice spire anywhere on the map during the pull (spire becomes global spell). You don't even need to pull enemy heroes. Pull lane creeps/NC and you get to plant the spire in roshan pit/enemy fountain etc.

Aite, sry for my trash English, ty for coming to my ted talk, cya.
