I finished my calibration having 3.6k+ mmr while some of my pretty good friends (who i stack most of the time) have 4k+.
This made me jealous so much and I really felt I should be at the similar mmr bracket as them. It kinda hurt my pride and made it my goal to be on the same bracket as them. I dropped a LOT after calibration (3.1k!!! =.=) and I refused to believe that I was on that bracket. It took months and a couple of experimenting on what heroes I can do, how to win the game, make an impact. Some people say that skill != mmr, although true, but It also involves with a lot of factors imo. Anyway, I'm just happy I managed to achieve my personal goal  It gave me a purpose on playing and really enjoyed the challenge. I'll probably stop playing ranked for a while now and start stacking with my friends again :3
FUCK YEAH 4K! (shoutout to the irc guys, especially to TEUFEL)

to the haters: this is a personal goal k? idgaf if you think this is petty or try to degrade this.

Congrats man! 4k mmr and above 50% win rate is a lot more then lots of people can say they have achieved ^_^
|
Thanks! And I think you need >50% win rate to climb, yes?
|
Congratulations.
I once had the same goal but I've slightly given up for a moment (calibration 3.2k. went to 3.7k in a few games. now down to 3.1something). You're giving me hope.
What process hides behind your "experimenting with heroes and making an impact"?
Have fun stacking!

Well, I pick heroes that doesn't need to farm a lot. Wraith King, Spirit Breaker, Nature's Prophet and Bounty Hunter. I usually don't stay too much in lane, I have to make an impact on winning my lane or at least break even. WK and BH, I just try to get level 6 fast and influence other lanes, while NP and SB I usually gank at level 2 or 3 and help other lanes win. I just mass gamed most of them to get a 'feel' and understand my hero and role. By experimenting, I play other heroes that I'm not fond off but see in my ranked games in unranked with friends. By playing the hero I usually get in ranked, I get a feel on their timings and their weaknesses.
But most of my ranked games are support WK though @_@

Congratulations! Guess I should start doing solo q as well. Can't really let you be 700 MMR above me.
