Intro:
In Dota 2, winning your lane is 50% about skill and 50% about creep management. Whether you are playing in 2015 or 2025, the ability to control where the creeps meet is the most fundamental skill you must master. In this guide, we will break down the "Pulling" and "Stacking" mechanics that will help you win more games, regardless of the current patch.
1. Why Equilibrium Matters
If your lane is pushed too far toward the enemy tower, you are vulnerable to ganks. By pulling the small jungle camp into your creep wave, you force the enemy to stay away from their tower, making them an easy target for your offlaner or midlaner.
2. The Small Camp Pull (Timing is Everything)
For the Radiant side, the magic number is usually X:17 or X:47.
- Attack the neutral creeps and run toward your incoming lane creeps.
- Pro Tip: If the camp is stacked, you can deny your entire wave, leaving the enemy with zero gold and XP.
3. Half-Pulling vs. Full-Pulling
- Full-Pull: Pulling the entire wave. Best used when you want to reset the lane completely.
- Half-Pull: Only pulling 1 or 2 creeps. This is an advanced technique to keep the lane steady without losing your tower’s protection.
4. How to Counter the Enemy’s Pull
Don't just watch them pull! You can counter by:
- Warding the camp (Sentries) to prevent spawning.
- Contesting the pull by attacking the neutral creeps yourself to steal the last hits.
Conclusion:
Masters of the lane are masters of the game. Practice your pulling timings in a lobby, and you will see a significant increase in your laning stage win rate.
