Tips on how to farm fast remember: Dota 2 game is not about Farming ONLY, its about winning.
1. Don't die
Dying means you waste your farmed gold and give to your enemy thus creating a gold and experience difference. Learn how to play safe. BurNinG, one of the legendary carry and farmer, will always stay away from creeps if he doesn’t see the gankers on the map. He knows how crucial it is if you’ll be killed in the game. This also does not mean that you should stay hidden all the time. Farm in lanes and keep your eyes on map, if your enemies are missing from map for more than 5-10 sec, it means, either they are coming to pick on you or they are at Roshan. In both the cases, you must think of your next move.
2. Practice last hitting
Practice will improve your timing when will you attack the creep that will guarantee sure gold. One way is playing in single player mode and try to have 100 creep kills (kills + deny) in 10 minutes. Doing this often will make you expert in last hitting thus a speedy farm in real games. Another practice can be playing against 5 Insane Bots. Bots are programmed to have perfect last hit and deny. If you can farm against 5 AI’s effectively, it would be easy for you to farm against most of human players.
3. Consider Your Hero’s attack Animation
The moment your hero makes a move for attack and the moment your hero’s damage is dealt is known is hero attack animation. It can be slow (Like Dark Seer), Normal (Like most of the heroes) and Fast (Like Sniper, Faceless Void, Anti Mage etc).
4. Look at the Mage (ranged creep)
One easy way to last hit effectively is looking at the mage. Among all the creeps fighting, the mage usually have the highest damage. Mage will hit the enemy creep in constant rate so it will be easy for you to decide when to attack. After the mage attacks and you know it’ll be one blow before the creep die, it’s time for you to click it. This is effective but in some cases, it’s not. Like when you have 2 or more mages, or you have a catapult that does more damage than the mage. In this case you have to consider the rate of hp reduction of the creep.
5. Neutral Creeping for Extra Gold
Neutral Creeps gives you enough amount of gold that Enigma can farm a dagger in 8 minutes. Thus, on the average, neutral creeping can give you 268 gold in one minute. Neutral Creeping also gives you additional safety from gankers. If you have wards, it’ll be harder for you to be killed. But it is never advised to leave your lane empty for enemy and farm in Jungle because this will give free farm to enemy heroes.
6. Try to Dominate your Lane
If you dominate a lane, chances are you’ll get a good farming time because enemy try to stay away from you. If you are in tri lane, harassing can be done by your supports using normal attacks or using / casting spells and in meanwhile carries can farm easily. In same process if you guess enemy has low HP, you can also try to secure a kill to earn extra gold.
7. Rune Control
Since 6.83 update, importance of rune control has increased many folds. Because from now onward, runes will always spawn at both ends and out of which 1 will always be a bounty rune. Bounty rune will give you extra gold and experience. More time passes in game, the more more and experience you will get from bounty rune. Also do not forget the renewed charges of your bottle with which you can farm more. So rune control is extremely important if you want to farm fast in Dota 2.
8. Don’t Waste Gold
Wasting gold, like buying TP and using them to teleport on a towers but it’s not that urgent to use it. It will surely slow down the rate of your farming. For example, when enemy creeps are far away from your tower. You can walk to your tower and when you reach your tower chances are the enemy creeps are just reaching your tower along with you. You saved 50 gold from impatient teleportation. TP is vital to the game but you should use it wisely, like backing up a team mate / Team fight. You’ll need 2 creeps to farm 50 gold again. Thus you’ll be delayed in farming.
9. Use Your Skills Wisely
Don’t rely on spamming spells to farm. Spamming spells helps you push not farm. Spam spells only when needed, like if you see a big wave of enemy creep coming, then its a good time to use your AOE spells, instead of using your precious AOE spells and killing only 1-2 creeps. Spamming AOE spells makes you go back to the fountain back and forth because you wont have enough mana and if meanwhile your team needs you, you may not be of that much use to your team because of low mana or your spell on cool down.
10. Maximize map reach on farming
Maximize your map reach is important to have your luxury items. Burning(EH.Gigabyte.AAA), used to farm fast by moving all over the map. So we can say like this, “where there is creeps, there your farmer goes”. Do not forget to keep an eye on enemy heroes, or else you might be walking happily into an enemy trap. If you are not able to get farm in your lane, switching your lane to a more comfortable lane is always a good idea. Search for the creeps your self, because creeps wont come to you.
