2868 right now should hit 3k today will blog my games coz its actually pretty cool to remember them after having so many good/fun/horrible/nasty/satisfying/pathetic games lol.
Game 1 WIN http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1231335072 Guy randomed brew and I took WR after seeing how effective it can be to help your team watching Merlini's stream yesterday (well played Merlini - his qop on the other hand was a little dodgy lol - is it true he usually never levels the q???). Went mid vs the storm because the brew was walking round like he didn't know wtf he was doing. Played awful, I always do on different heroes/first games of the day, but we done really well in the end.
Game 2 LOSS http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1231583927 Our invoker went to jungle with meteor, contesting the jungle with our NP and leaving bot lane empty. He also went midas. We were down 30k in 30 minutes and mass reported him. He was already chat banned, go figure.
Game 3 LOSS http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1231770088 Outplayed, well played to the other team and to their mid luna who dodged my final hits when i got her low. She also had a ward on my highground to do things like cancel my salve by surprise. Her stun is really good against me as it outranged me heavily, does a lot of damage and allows her to get back safely. Maybe I'm getting carried away with this mek -> push thing and should have calmed down and got a bkb
Game 4 WIN http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1231938540 Brilliant game, everyone listened (apart from twice when some people 2v5ed) and dodged the clinkz, our shaman was great too.
Game 5 WIN http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1232094079 Another excellent game where everyone listened to me perfectly. I fed twice though. Their pudge done the sickest move, he took illusion rune and afked 2 of them on my mid highground while standing on his highground. I started rightclicking one of the two and csing. Then suddenly one of the illusions HOOKED ME LOL.
Game 8 LOSS http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1232527042 Our techies denies our aegis and does other trolling stuff so I report him and we lose because team doesn't listen 10x in a row to do stuff. Up 20K? np techies will deny your aegis, team will start to feed. EZ
Game 11 LOSS http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1232818706 I go 15-5 but my team unable to use any skills..... naga carry keep randomly feeding which lost us the game. LOL she got a manta?
Game 14 LOSS http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1233059072 Went against a 6200 mmr smurf , our NP went 1-18, go figure His stream http://www.twitch.tv/0antoni0 He won 26 games in a row so far I wanted to level shrapnel but had this retard fucking guide active and kept getting not-shrapnel
Game 17 WIN http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1233496588 WELCOME TO 6K FOLKS GET REKT Our centaur disced and eventually abandoned after the score was 2-2 and I went on to a 19-1 rampage with the help of my 3 sexy supports. Also clutch timing of me activating the centaurs ulti to initiate a kill
Game 18 LOSS http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1233706006 Had a feeder and apparently afk sd who went 2-15. Would (genuinely) like to know what I could have done differently here....their team just snowballed out of control
dude you've made four blog threads about your pub games in the space of three days, perhaps you should consider not making a thread every time you play matchmaking or have a video to show from your matchmaking

Your 2'8k and pick WR because a (near)pro did awesome with it thinking you could also really help your Team? And then proceed to "steal" Brews mid?

LOL yeah that sounds about right. the brew was walking around the map at start and that + storm mid made me think i should just stay mid. Whats wrong with 2.8k, on a good day i reckon i could hold my own easily at 4k+ in many games. I see solid players at this level pretty frequently. The big difference is probably that down here we are good at only a few select heroes and can be extremely inconsistent, with flaws in strategic decision making (e.g. when to farm or what to do when things start to go sour). But on a game-by-game basis we can still play very well.
Don't fool yourself. Any 4k player would go 15-0 in your bracket with any hero he is familiar with. People at 2.8k may have good execution with some heroes but generally suck hard at laning and the game overall.
i went 13-1 with my qop when i learnt her/dota that christmas week and was tryharding (lost much with other heroes tho)
im trying to learn sf now and its hard because often in teamfights i find myself not doing the right thing . especially messy teamfights like tower or highground fights. im 16-9 with a lot to learn
maybe you didnt read my post, i said in some games we can play very well but we are inconsistent mechanically and have some flaws in knowing what to do in tricky situations , so have very good games and very bad games
keep a blog but by no means attempt to keep track of each and every single RMM game if you want to improve your mmr. i have more than 10k hours in competitive games played. you must be willing to not be process oriented and result oriented if you wish to improve. no point to reflect on each game individually, you must be willing to keep playing then start to reflect after a good 1 page or 2 pages of just pure games. you aren't at the point where you're good enough to give your self actual proper feed back. just keep in mind things like where should i have died and not died? and keep pushing the envelope to get a kill in your lane and then scale that back once you die.
honestly i won't tell you to do what i've done and play 10 k hours because there's a fine line between addiction and actually attempting to go pro. you won't get out of lower ranked mmr if you play for fun over playing to win. big difference in the mindset. easiest way is to master 1 hero you absolutely love and think it gives you a competitive edge and play that hero over 200 times. don't even think about reflection until you give your self adequate experience
thanks for your feedback. i actually have around 2500 games of dota and understand what you mean by playing to win vs playing for fun (i was 3400 at one point, although i'm sure players were a LOT worse back then, and dropped to 2200 lol). i am keeping track of the games mainly for fun. i'm sure "revising" a game briefly helps me to think about things i should have done differently, including things i hadn't thought of already

Well you reckon incorrectly as I guarantee you any honest 4k player would wipe the floor with any 2.8k player. It's easy to think that you could excel at a higher mmr, but I don't think you realize exactly how much better 4k players are than 2.8k players. Also, I can assure you that it's a drastic overstatement to say that 2.8k players "play very well" on a "game-by-game basis."
