Behavior:
-
An Eye for an Eye: No gold loss on death means trading kills will still help you progress. Be careful though- this goes both ways. While trading kills will earn you gold, your enemies get bank as well.
-
Sense of Urgency: Carries will get their items, and ganks lower enemy tower armor. Use an early advantage to take down enemy towers and do permanent damage to your opponent’s base..jpg)
-
Relocation Stones: Relocation stones are important, but in Casual Mode their cost is not as significant. Always carry one and be aware of when you can teleport to save an ally or initiate a gank.
-
Don’t be a Carebear: You get 25 percent increased gold from creeps, but you get over 50 percent more from hero kills and assists. Get in the action! You can get shiny items from ganking alone.
-
Lane Aggressively: Since denies are not as significant and the reward for hero kills is so large, be aggressive in lane. Focus not just on denying and last hitting, but obtain a HP advantage in lane and go for kills.
As Casual Mode sees more play and players get more accustomed to its unique rule set, people will become better at adapting to game situations. Most are trained to react to certain situations based on Normal Mode experiences, and such reactions may not be the most effective in Casual Mode. Hopefully this guide has helped give you a head start on learning Casual Mode, and will allow you to more quickly adapt to the changes it brings—a more action-packed, casual gameplay experience. Happy HoNidays to all!
