Wasting the damage and vision towers provide feels silly and something I wouldn't do but I'm almost always uncertain of when to be aggressive, when to engage. I've watched some of my games and every now and then I'm like "dang, I just had to be little bit more aggressive for that kill".
Also, in a situation in which you're a playing a support (with just one single target disable), enemy team is kinda fed, all 5 of them are pushing and two of your teammates go and try to engage, is it recommended to go with them or just stay back? Almost every time I stay back because I feel like it'd be a certain death for the 3, and possibly without any loses for the other team.
Am I playing too defensive? ._.
Also, I'm having trouble stacking radiant's neutral easy camp. I've tried pulling at different times from :53 to :56, running to different places (river, through the trees or highground) and most of the times they won't pineappleing spawn and stack. And it happens everytime there are Hill Trolls. I can do it with medium and large camps but I don't know what am I doing wrong with the small camp.
For radiant side its best to pull the camp towards mid lane and always pull at 0:53 sec. Make sure the creeps are following you at all times and try not to lose sight of them at the very end. The trick about stacking in dota is to not stay in 300-400 radius of the spawing spot and not directly look at it with hero vision, creeps from the camp you're trying to stack only have about 300-500 vision so if you can pull them out of that range before 0:00 mark your stack should run smoothly. Most of the time its also best to aggro the camps by letting them attack you once. If you get hit at 0:53 and pull the camp from there you will be given pull time to stack the camp (because the creeps in dota jungle aggros you for about 7 to 8 sec, meaning they need at least 3-4 sec to move back to their camp.
