What is Post and Role in Dota 2?

Post is a designation refers to taking lane positions a player to play. This is intended so that players do not collide with each other in choosing and using heroes.

Posts can also function so that each player can focus more on choosing a hero or lane.

Whereas roles is the term refers to the abilities (skills) of each hero. Each hero is unique because it has different skills and goals.

Differences Post and Role in Dota 2

Post Role in Dota 2 — Representative Hero 9 Roles in Dota 2.

So far, the writer found three most striking differences between the two terms. The three differences are:

Post	Roles
There are 6 types of Post (including Roamer)	There are 9 types of Roles
Relative (can change)	Fixed (permanent)
Post determination based on the selected lane	Role determination based on heroes' skills

The author starts from the first, namely the type. Basically, there are five post types + one addition. They are carry, Midlaner, Offlaners, Soft Support (and Roamers), and Hard Support.

For lanes, Carry and Hard Support will go to Safe lane. Offlaner will go with Soft Support to Off lane, finally Midlaner will be in Middle Lane.

And, in fact, the term Post is completely relative. Have you seen the tutorial IO becomes Carry? Huskar Support? Snapfire Midlaner? They use unusual heroes, but can still dominate the lane.

While Role is a term that cannot be replaced. The mention is indeed based on the skills they have. The nine roles are Carry, Support, Nuker, Disabler, Jungler, Durable, Escape, Pusher, and Initiator.

In order for apple to apple, the author will make examples of the same heroes. Pro players can make IO as a Carry because it has the Role Nuker, but that's probably only two skills, Spirits and Overcharge. Meanwhile, Relocate and Tether are natural support skills.

If you look at Huskar's skills, only Inner Fire has the potential as a support skill. Meanwhile, Support is not just pushing or disarm, but also involving Mana/HP Regen, Stun, Hex, and others.

Snapfire also fits in Middle Lane. But if the enemy uses BKB, do not hope that you can help friends. The only skill that can penetrate BKB is Lil'Shredder, and even then it doesn't have great damage.

Similarities and Collaboration of Both

An example of confusing collaboration Tiny Pos 3 – Earthshaker Pos 4. Both are Nuker, Disabler, also Melee attacks.

After discussing the differences, now the author will discuss the similarities as well as the collaboration that should be.

First equation is from term and also the hero. Both Role and Post have the same terms, namely Carry and Support. Not only that, the skills and placement of heroes in the map are also the same.

Equality second is both require the players to understand right with heroes which he uses.

For example, when you want to use Earthshaker. By Role, he is a support, initiator, disabler, and nuker. Then, what kind of support do you want to be? Hard or Soft Support?

The answer is the heroes that will be used by teammates. You have to know, does your friend (Oflane or Carry) have a stun skill, a basic attack type or a nuker with skills, or what. After that, you can only determine the post.

For collaboration, make sure you use heroes with complementary roles. Don't let the whole team use all support heroes, or all nukers, or all carry.

Everything has to go in balance. Dominant support heroes have skills with great damage in the early-mid game. Meanwhile, the new Carry can have great damage during the mid-late game.
