Climbing the Dota 2 rankings is a challenging process, with many players struggling to make it past Crusader. This guide offers specific strategies for Crusaders, which will give you the tools you need to break through this barrier and climb the Dota 2 ladder.

Mastering a Limited Pool of Heroes

When you reach Crusader ranking, concentrating on a couple of heroes can make all the difference in your gameplay. Choose two roles and select from 2-3 heroes in each role that fits how you play. By doing so, you will have time to know these heroes better than anything else about them including their game stage roles.

In addition to mastering these heroes, it's crucial to keep up with the current meta. The Dota 2 meta changes with each patch, affecting the strength and viability of different heroes. By keeping your hero pool up-to-date with the meta, you can take advantage of powerful heroes and increase your chances of winning your games.

Improving your Laning Phase

The reason why most crusaders lose games is because they don’t understand the laning phase. Heroes like Anti-Mage can use this technique since they are melee carries that require a lot of farm.

At Crusader rank an average carry usually has between 40-50 last hits by ten minutes mark depending on hero choice, and early laning experience.

At Divine rank an average carry typically gains between 60-70 last hits by ten minutes mark. Additionally, maintaining creep equilibrium/when to push lane can save against ganks while assisting your team’s ganking efforts.

Effective Communication and Leadership

Games at crusader level often degenerate into chaos due to sheer lack of coordination among teammates. If you believe in yourself as someone who understands this game very well then just lead your team via positive suggestions that will greatly boost their performance.

Furthermore, clear action and intention communication is also essential. You should let your team know if you want to initiate team fights, push towers or anything that would require all of you to be on the same page. The game’s chatting system and in-game pinging keep everyone updated and help in coordinating.

Understanding the Importance of Objectives

The post team-fight decision making is one area where a significant number of players at crusader rank fail. When your team wins a fight, instead of chasing after more kills or retreating to farm, focus on taking down objectives such as towers. This helps keep pressure on the opposing team and establishes map control which consistently enables winning games.Dota 2 roshan objectiveAgain, have an eye for something bigger. Know what trading is in Dota 2 – if you lose a tower then try to take out enemy team`s Aztec Tower. It will in turn ensure balance of map control.

Warding and Map Awareness

Inconsistent warding and poor awareness about the game state are common among Crusader players. Placing wards continuously so as to see enemy movements eliminates any fear of ambushes which can change fortunes for your side when done correctly.

Map awareness goes hand in hand with effective warding. Regularly checking the minimap can provide valuable information about enemy locations, missing heroes, and potential threats. This can help you make informed decisions about when to push, when to retreat, and when to join your team for a fight.

Adapting to Your Team's Needs

In Crusader rank it is often usual to have unbalanced team compositions. You could find yourself in a team with too many core heroes or no support at all. In such situations, being adaptable about a role you play and hero selection can increase chances of winning. For example, as much as you may be a core player, sometimes picking a support hero can balance the team composition and improve game outcomes.

Then it may be better to play defensively during early stages so as not to engage in unnecessary fights. With this understanding, your team can plan her strategy effectively thus making right choices about how they should play.

Conclusion

Before one can go pass Crusader rank in Dota 2, he/she must fully grasp the intricacies involved in this sport; take everything seriously step by step; change the tactics when needed. Applying these strategies will make you perform better in your matches increasing your MMR and starting on moving up that Dota 2 ranking ladder. Keep practicing! Don’t worry if there is no progress after several games because improvement needs time and effort- these qualities should always be there for example through experience or rehearsing. May fortune smile upon you while climbing up higher ranks!
