Draft and pick

pre-game
Look at how you will be useful: who to gank, who to ward for, who to play with. Understand your job from the draft: tempo and aggression, or protecting your own cores and reacting to what they do. Plan ahead how you will stand the lane: static, or will you break the lane and pull the creeps out from under the tower? Do you need to stack the camps on the offlane or control the water runes for your mid?
During the draft, look at both drafts and work out what jobs you have to do in this game.
Before an early smoke at minute zero, work out how strong your draft is: weak picks — collect the bounty runes safely; strong picks — go kill their most vulnerable hero. Do not try to gank heroes with an escape, like Anti-Mage, Weaver or Queen of Pain.
You used the smoke and went the wrong way — either you find no kill, or you die together with your team.
