General DiscussionIsn't safelane not safelane any more?

safelaners can also do the same depends on the game, safelane has been unsafelane for liek 4 years now tho.

yeah ever since trilanes stopped being a thing "safelane" is no longer safelane and u should just go to lane with weaker matchup for you

It's not safelane. But it's not unsafelane either

There's only so many games I'll want to build Mask of Madness and retreat into the jungle as soon as I have half of it done. Only good thing about it is that the waves meet near your tower, so you don't gen run down and royally screwed by a Bristle or a Slardar

safelane isn't safe because most of you don't use pulls properly, and don't use proper creep aggro. Improve your laning and you can win at least 50% of lanes or more. You'd be amazed how many times people are out of position at lower mmr

Just focus on denies more than on cs and you have a safe lane. Hit enemy creeps as soon as they drop under 50%. Thats what Ana is doing all the time and get avg 70cs/10 min mark even with Io. Have less creeps than your enemy. You need to get goood at csing under tower though.

Lane can F up on first wave when enemy offlaner pulls aggro to get their creeps under your tower, so your lane pushes in - very cheap and godly tactic. You need to reaggro and pull the creeps out of tower range. Or just dont block creeps.

It hasn't been for awhile. The "Safe" in Safelane is literally just a homage to how the creep lanes are asymmetrical and stop closer to your tower. The creeps aren't on a conveyer belt. If you lose the creep equilibrium, you just made the safelane an offlane.

In Dota 1 we just said top, mid, or bot

In Dota 1 a better player go mid. The best player play safe and the other player play aggressive
