Safelane necro, mid blood, with lina-wd-omni offensive trilane. Not a terrible draft imho Should get a lot off kill in offlane with the guaranteed lina stun
Have you ever played with ~2500 MMR People?
Just dual lane this and it should be allright.
Playing with people at ~2500 MMR often feels as if everyone has 300 MS+ "inbuilt" lag. Many things they do is just laaaate (and therefore often not happening at all). Sheever ravages are not something worth mentioning, they happen at least once per game...
Losing a 3v2 lane is also actually something that tends to be nothing special there... Especially when such "unfair" heroes like Silencer are in the opponents Dual lane... (seriously...)
Or some other example:
Luna gets 4-0 in the first 10 minutes... After 46 minutes she has: Hotd/BKB/Treads... Thats all.
I'm myself for sure not a great Player... But in the last 3 games that i played 5on5 Ranked AP/RD with my "scrub" friends i went a combined 50-10-33 (9 of these 10 deaths came from one game, where i went 25-9-18 after being 0-5 or something like that).

This. This is why I - a dedicated support player - still haven't done my initial ranked matches. I am afraid either that I will be my team's "zatokar" or that I will be stuck trying to support one (and being blamed/reported for not being able to save them from themselves).

This is what 5k looks like too man
|
2.4k is not below average.. it is the average if not slightly above it. Don't let the retards on reddit let you think otherwise. Untill we found out there were less then a thousand players with +5k MMR most people assumed 4.5k was the average. It's not. I think its like 2.3k.
|
well.. there is average and average.
Average of people that play a lot and actually put "some" effort in it should be over 2500 for sure..
|
What's the point of having a global average if we're going to filter it? People make mistakes in every level of Dota, even in pro matches. Dota players have really high standards of play, for the most part, but hey, it's no crime to be an average player who can only put in a couple matches a week and hasn't played half the hero roster. Such a player is still a Dota player, and one that likely has to deal with a lot of shit everyday.
Anyways, pretty good post, OP. I honestly can't bring myself to play ranked, and even less so solo ranked. I have over 500 matches and I have yet to find out either of my MMRs. People say you need thick skin to play Dota, and maybe that's true, but it's very annoying to deal with these kinds of players. I already had ladder anxiety back then when I played SC2, and I took a while to get past that one. It's just not a fun experience to play if, in the worst half of your games, you're going to get flamed by some weird dude who thinks it's okay to do so despite your best effort to win the game. Maybe someday, I don't know. I was waiting for vacations to finally just do it, but... I can't. Oh, well.

I enjoyed this blog. thanks

Their ranked system is just shit. People don't give a shit at all. My 3,5k elo games look just like yours. People don't listen are noobish and i feel like the outcome of most of my games are determined by who has less idiots.
I just had a game where i won my lane 1v2 as offlane lc and we had a farmed ls that was then thrown because our bm and lich stole each others items and fed them back into the game.
People that work against their own team making it really hard to climb up the mmr ladder. I think that winning/losing streaks are the key to get drastic changes in the mmr.
Looking at me, I got an mmr of 3600 after the placement matches, worked myself up to 3700 then got a winnning streak up to 3900, stayed there for some time and then got a massive losing stream back to 3500 where im currently recovering from.
Since because of idiots you are guaranteed to win/lose 50% of your games anyway and the mmr only lets you get +-23-27 points anyway. And the individual skill between 3-4k differes only very little...
|
Solo queuing can be so hit or miss, even at 3200 MMR, although half the time I get uncooperative teammates we win anyway.
Best just create a "reking cru" of the good players you encounter and get a stack going, always good fun.

I enjoyed this blog.
I find the amount of flame doesn't change with MMR. The only time I saw a large increase in flaming is when I moved to Europe and had to play on EU West instead of Aus.

its actually infuriating reading these posts and comments about how you all think that you are better than the people you play with and they are all dragging you down. Its a FACT that its statistically impossible for mmr hell to exist If you are a good player playing among 9 worse players then the chances a feeder will be on your team is 4/9 and the chances he is on the enemy team is 5/9 how can you not understand that? I love how the OP talks about how all the players he is matched with will stay bad because they dont realize they are bad and its funny because it seems OP doesnt realize how bad he is... Sure you say at the start that you a bad and stuff like that and you think it grants you immunity from criticism but the thing is you are worse than you think you are all the people you make fun of in your post... you are just as bad as them. Ive seen your play and I have no doubt that you are at an mmr you deserve just like the people you get matched with. Maybe the people that tell you that you are better in the inhouses say so because you actually play better in the inhouses maybe you have a more positive attitude there since its obvious you have a terrible attitude towards pubs. or maybe they were just trying to be nice whatever the case and whatever the reason your play in pubs is bad and you deserve a bad mmr.

I'm sorry it makes you feel that way. Perhaps you would be best served reading something else.

Yes you are right. It would probably be best for you to learn the game instead of pretending to know the game as well.

My first 20 games were 5 wins and 15 losses. Back when we used the IXDL client, I was literally THE WORST player, stats-wise, in our whole inhouse league.
so its you who was below me

Lol I love it when these people decide it's a good idea to come in and pick fights. What if you are good at offlane and support? At trench level, you NEVER get to solo offlane, and if you support, you most likely have to do it solo because of the mid/carry/pudge/bloodcyka fetish that everyone has. Good luck having lots of game impact while having fun then!
Anyways I loved reading this blog since I just had 3 straight games where my whole team was filled with Zatokars. All I want is to reach the promised land where I can be given solo offlane in peace, or support people who can actually farm 4 items when given 40 minutes of free farm.

Nice of you to share your thoughts. Dont let the door hit you on the way out if you continue posting in that manner.
Brindle I can feel your pain lol. Retards are everywhere, the hard thing is finding retards that actually does their best to listen and improve instead of feeling their way is the best way.

It was a pleasure to read. I was thinking to create a similar blog but this piece of art would outshine it hard.
I'll not bother to give "advice" or criticize what you wrote there like others because this is not the case here.
If you'd like to extend the topic by sharing a few games with me, it'd be great. You have a talent in writing.
Even with that Japanese philosophy should bring you to 3K imho
