Dota – Who gets the money if a player randoms and swaps their hero

You need to recognize burst gankers like Tiny are a threat early in the game and adjust your play around them. Typically, this means that I'll be picking up strength Power Treads and/or a Bracer to give myself extra strength to survive. If the other team has multiple magic damage heroes, you can also look into picking up a Cloak or even a Hood or Pipe.

This should prevent Tiny (or Nerubian Assassin, or a few others when they're ported) from ganking you by himself, he'll need teammates or a truly massive advantage to do so. Tiny has powerful burst but after his combo (which deals ~900 magic damage, ~675 damage to standard magic resistance) plus the damage from a couple of autoattacks, if he hasn't killed you there's no way he should be able to: you have your own spells and hopefully aware teammates.

Other things you can do to prevent a Tiny from snowballing apply to every game: have good wards up at all times and help your middle lane rune control if possible. Limiting Tiny's early game mana really slows him down because he's not much of a threat without that 240 mana to combo. You can also put strong laners against him, since Tiny has such low base armor, and seriously limit his early game farm. Some common options to counter a solo melee hero in mid lane include:

• Ancient Apparition
• Batrider
• Viper
• Venomancer
• Warlock
• Lich

You can't simply reset your battle points. You could make new steam account,but if you already bought some other games on steam that is not a valid solution.

Dota 2 doesn't match you with other players based on your battlepoints or played games at all since it wouldn't be so fair to people just getting started. Simply put it works primarily on your Win/Lose ratio. Here is official detailed matchmaking guide if you want to see exactly how it matches players together.

So resetting your battlepoints isn't some solution,it would last shortly and once again you would get back with the same crowd. U can usually feel when you get teamed with better players but after some time of terrible games you should fall back with noobs and win some games.
