Stay in tree line spam q on offlaner see to it u dont hit creeps. Stack 2 camps near safelane take bounty make force staff then farm ur stacks with q . Destroy ancient
Spam q on lane creep, steal gold/exp from ally safelaner, buy aghanim as 1st item, lose the game, report ur noob carry teammate, repeat
kotl is useless when played like 2-3k support players use to, he becomes a hero once he has 1-2 small items
he needs to focus his own farm whenever he can, being the static lane support but not actually the position 5 in most cases. ask your roamer to buy wards if possible. stack when you can, max E first, Q after, skip W and ult until youre level 9
stack the camps next to your safelane whenever possible. zone enemy offlaner when he threatens your carry. go blast a camp when your carry is fine. dont forget to use E before Q to reduce/remove the cooldown, you can doubleblast that way
in teamfights focus on interrupting the enemy with your F and save your teammates with glimmer/force when they get focused
How can Kotl be played as pos 5 and how can he zone out the enemy off laner? Lul
He is a position 4 who is OP when picked together with heroes who spam skills(bristle, earthshaker, storm etc). You usually build force staff first into agha(unless you're playing against night stalker).
Also use blinding eye to stack.
Attack one camp at xx:55 and use blinding eye on the other one at xx:59
Yes precisely because there is typically only one support in normal skill games, that kotl is bad. He needs farm but what happens is he also needs to babysit and zone and nuke the wave at the same time. All these things are incompatible. At some point the pos 5 kotl is either struggling to be useful without aghs or afk farming, adding to the burden of the team
Hi, I have 200 games on Kotl with a 60% winrate (dotabuff is just fucked up).
The best position you can play him is as position 4. If you get lasthits on the offlane (where you normaly want to start) its totally ok.
Go for Tranquills -> Wind Lace -> Force Staff -> Aghs then you should buy a Gem when its daytime and deward the map, after this go Blink into Hex or Octarine or Glimmer. Here is a Guide I made some days ago:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=254325792&searchtext=How+to+win+games+with+Kotl
I hope the guide is fully visible, if you submitt to it, you can see it in Dota fully i think. (loading all the time on my PC at work :D)

I'd recommend to find some pub game replays from Akke, GH or Jerax to watch.
You'll learn way more watching them than you can by reading a few guides.
I also remember synd streaming some Kotol where he explained pretty much everything he did.
