Don\u2019t dive recklessly into the enemy\u2019s team. Utilise your hero\u2019s strengths and target high-value enemy heroes (supports or carries) first.

As you climb the ladder, consider expanding your hero pool to adapt to different team compositions and counter enemy picks.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;How important is communication in ranked games?&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;gcid-62739c86-3917-4421-8ab4-45f1b03eea58&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;gcid-d0173b6a-8d8f-4c7b-84da-b2d9ba520988&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;gcid-62739c86-3917-4421-8ab4-45f1b03eea58&#8243; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;gcid-d0173b6a-8d8f-4c7b-84da-b2d9ba520988&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;gcid-4d5dd096-b2ce-4758-99c4-335af188828a&#8221; toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x33;||divi||400&#8243; use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; icon_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;gcid-4d5dd096-b2ce-4758-99c4-335af188828a&#8221; open_toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x32;||divi||400&#8243; open_use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; open_icon_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;gcid-62739c86-3917-4421-8ab4-45f1b03eea58&#8243; title_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;gcid-62739c86-3917-4421-8ab4-45f1b03eea58&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||5px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;15px||10px||false|false&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|5px|5px|5px|5px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;gcid-d0173b6a-8d8f-4c7b-84da-b2d9ba520988&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-4d5dd096-b2ce-4758-99c4-335af188828a%22:%91%22icon_color%22,%22open_icon_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22open_icon_color%22%93,%22gcid-d0173b6a-8d8f-4c7b-84da-b2d9ba520988%22:%91%22open_toggle_background_color%22,%22closed_toggle_background_color%22,%22border_color_all%22,%22open_toggle_background_color%22,%22closed_toggle_background_color%22,%22border_color_all%22%93,%22gcid-62739c86-3917-4421-8ab4-45f1b03eea58%22:%91%22open_toggle_text_color%22,%22title_text_color%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color%22,%22body_text_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color%22,%22title_text_color%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color%22,%22body_text_color%22%93}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span>Effective communication is crucial in Dota 2, especially in higher ranks.
