Dota 2 ancient creeps skills to put

Can someone please explain when and why people do this? I would like to improve my support gameplay and have been practicing stacking with neutral creeps, but I’m not sure what would be the most ideal situation with regards to Ancient creeps.

I was in a game where another player (Medusa) and I (Sven) were dire-side and laned bottom. For quite a long time I was solo in the lane and Medusa was stacking and farming creep. What I don’t quite understand is instead of just farming the Ancient creeps, why was this player also stacking?

Stacking Jungle creeps, ESPECIALLY Ancients, can cause a HUUUGE BOOST for your carries.

Sven with his cleave can simply ult and kill all of them with 1-4 hits

WTF, you can’t nuke Ancients. It only works well when you have lots of physical DPS or a cleave.

Actually, you can, with some (physical, AOE non-target) nukes. Tide loves helping low level carries farm ancients.

Let me put it this way, when you farm a camp how would you like to farm it for twice the xp and gold in half the time?
Thats why you stack.

Stacking is not done by the Carry, its done by the supports.

The reason is this, more GPM.

If a carry comes to an ancient site that is not stacked, he will get to kill 3 creeps easy, no doubt and get that gold. But this is not an optimized method.

The carry will have to come to the ancient every minute to get the ancient gold, which is a waste of time.

Another factor is that if the Carry comes to farm around the minute mark, he easily misses the farm from one set of ancients as they wont spawn.

What a support does is, attack the ancient at X:53 minute mark and run out of the camp, the creeps will follow, and new creeps will spawn and be stacked. Continue this 4 times or so.
At this time, carry would be farming in lane and hopefully getting kills. When you notify the carry to farm the ancient after a 4 stack, the GPM that the Carry gets goes off the chart and could become a game changing move.
