Dota – What items provide quick heals in dota 2

dota-2

I'm quite a beginner in dota 2, have gotten used to the game and I understand some basics of healing,I used to buy a bottle in every game because I always run out of mana/health or both very quickly but refilling it is difficult as I need to be on a constant lookout for runes or sometimes even teleport back to the fountain.

My question is, what items provide some quick or efficient heals without forcing me to go back to the base?

There is 1 more very important item that Lustin didn't mention, and that is the magic stick.

Early on in the game, this is a great way to get that small burst of health or mana that can often save you from death or provide the ability to get that crucial early kill.

And as you get more money, you can upgrade it into a magic wand for even greater effectiveness.

If you are constantly running out of life/mana, then there are a few things you can do to improve that situation.

  1. Buy a Stout Shield. This protects you quite a bit from ranged harass and can greatly boost your survivability.
  2. Watch your positioning. Don't attack an enemy hero when you are surrounded by creeps as they'll immediately target you. Don't hang around in the middle of the creep line either. Only go in for denies or last hits.
  3. Don't spam your skills too much unless you'll either a) get a hero kill b) prevent a hero death or c) keep yourself in the lane longer (do this sparingly). Mana management is very important early on, don't waste it on creeps.
  4. Get some branches. The boost in mana, health, and damage is quite significant early on in the game, and branches will be required to make that magic wand anyway.
