2. Drafting Phase Analysis

Team Composition:

• Did your team have a balanced lineup (e.g., initiation, damage, crowd control)?
• Were there strong hero synergies?

Enemy Draft:

• Were there hard counters to your hero or team strategy?
• Did your draft lack answers to enemy threats (e.g., silences, mobility, saves)?

3. Laning Phase (0–10 Minutes)

Last Hits/Denies:

• How efficient were your last hits/denies compared to the lane matchup potential?
• Did you miss easy CS due to mechanical errors or harass?

Positioning:

• Were you zoning/being zoned effectively?
• Did you overextend or play too passively?

Matchup Analysis:

• Were regen and starting items optimal for the lane?
• Did you leverage power spikes (e.g., level 2/6) or fail to punish enemy weaknesses?

Pulling/Stacking:

• Did supports secure pull timings or contest enemy pulls?
• Were lanes overly pushed or static at critical moments?

4. Mid-Game (10–25 Minutes)

Objective Focus:

• Were towers, outposts, or Roshan prioritized after winning fights?
• Did the team waste time farming instead of pushing advantages?

Map Control & Vision:

• Were wards/dewards placed in high-impact areas?
• Did the team play safely in enemy vision or take unsafe farm?

Teamfight Execution:

• Were key spells (ults, saves, disables) used optimally?
• Did positioning (frontline/backline) align with hero roles?

Resource Allocation:

• Was farm distributed efficiently (e.g., cores taking safe lanes, supports jungle)?
• Did heroes itemize correctly against enemy threats (e.g., BKB vs disables)?

5. Late-Game (25+ Minutes)

High Ground Sieges/Defense:

• Did the team force fights with buybacks available or take bad engagements?
• Were creep waves managed properly before pushing?

Roshan/Buyback Management:

• Did the team secure Aegis timings before key objectives?
• Were buybacks used to defend or thrown away unnecessarily?

Split-Pushing vs Teamfighting:

• Did split-pushers create space, or did the team fight 4v5 unnecessarily?
• Were TP scrolls used effectively to counter split pushes?
