EPTJust don't take the game seriously and stop being competitive. You know do it for fun and just stop looking at your mistakes and others mistakes as well.
Just relax when playing remember it's a game.

If you truly PLAY 7-8 hours a day, I mean actual game time not spending time afk reading tl, and you dont see ANY improvement then your mind set has to so incredibly fucked. there is so much amazing matrial about how to have a good mindset, what it means and what you should focus on ect, (day[9]'s podcasts are great for this!) if you are prepared to spend so much time in it and you have the goal to improve, start making time count instead of wasting it trying to find conformation on the ideas you already have, which by the looks of your previeus posts are really fucked and terrible for dota. | ||

try playing puck or nyx until you get a 50 (60?)% winrate with them over 50 games each and you will learn a lot of hidden improvements you need to make to your play that you wont ever notice whilst playing an OP hero like lycan or sb for example, missing any skillshot ever = you are shit missing any cs that you could have got = you are shit not realising that you could have farmed your next sub-item before dying = you are shit not using quickbuy = you are shit any wasted time = you are shit any missed tp to help a teammate and secure a kill = you are shit any time you ever got caught out = you are shit any time you engage or initiate and end up feeding/your team doesn't show up soon enough = its YOUR fucking fault! any of these of any combination of these things = towers/runes/deaths/kills/control/farm/rosh lost = you just lost the game you wont EVER realise these things by playing heroes like lycan or sb but if you play a hero like puck then you will realise how much potential you are missing in your play coz you will realise u have a fucking 30% winrate with this hero compared to 80% with another easier hero. examples of improvements from playing a "difficult" (not mechanically difficult) hero: 1) you will never die before farming your next sub-item and hence be 1-4 minutes ahead in items than you previously were all the time 2) you will never initiate/engage without full knowledge that your team will be able to get into the fight within the 1-3 seconds of the initiation, and hence never be feeding wondering wtf happened to your team and then losing a tower and getting them wiped and then rosh and the rune and everyone raging at everyone 3) you will never get caught out because your map awareness is either perfect or on the safe side, e.g. the sniper game i played against a "decent" pudge the other day when he landed only 1 hook on me all game coz i had shit-hot map movement even with 0 wards all game 4) you will never miss those 1, 2, 3 cs every minute that you really should have gotten, and hence be up +400 gold over 4 minutes than you otherwise would have been, and hence finished buying a sub-item before dying, and being literally 4 minutes ahead of any given opponent just because your farm and item buying is immaculate 5) you will have a lot less blame for your teammates once you realise that if you yourself had played to your very high standard of the above things then you should really be +5 minutes +1 item and probably +1 tower +1 rune and -1 death and +1 kill than you are right now 6) once you attune to all of these tiny but cumulative faults you will feel the satisfaction of knowing you played well regardless of the outcome of the game and understand that your teammates would have to be pretty fucking amazing to play as well as you, and since you're in shitty MMR you can't expect them to be anywhere near your level and so can't blame them for being crap  7) fuck LC pickers and fuck LC pickers who dont know they're supposed to gank | ||

Lol I just read the other stuff you wrote. Why the fuck you thought buying an account is a good idea? Dont fake yourself into something you arent yet. Do you know what Day9 used to do to get good at BW? He started new accounts from scratch so he could learn the basics over and over and get motivated to climb the ladder again and again. Of course you get frustrated if you're playing people dozens of times better than you, you dont belong in 4k, have patience and do it legit. Also, if your mindset consists of blaming your low skill on unknown people whom you just asked for help you shouldnt take any competitive game seriously. | ||

You're not going to learn how to be better than 2.4k at 4.8k. You're going to get shitstomped, your team mates are going to flame you, and the other team is going to laugh at you. If you want to be better play at your own mmr and get better from there. If you really have the capability to be better than 2.4k then you will go up, if not, you won't change. A shiny new account isn't going to change who you are or the way you play. | ||

you said that your mindset is your biggest problem, right? so buying accounts is the PERFECTLY WRONG way to get better. u lose a game, and u know that you are most problably the reason that your team lost. you win a game, and you know you got carried - OFC, this is depressing... play at your own MMR, and do not try to "adapt" to the skill level of much better players. try to be the one who knocks in your MMR-range. this is the way to get better. | ||
