This week have been up and down(as usual).

I have to say that I think I have played really solid so Im happy, but I have not really had the results I hope for.

In the last 5 days I have played 21 games.
A little mix between solo que and party. The games went 10-11.

With LD 2-0
Undying 0-1
Invoker 1-0
Puck 1-0
qop 1-1
Razor 0-1
Zeus 1-1
Razor 0-1
DP 0-1
TB 1-0
Natures Profit 1-1
Viper 1-0
Earthshaker 0-1
Drow 0-1
Spectre 1-0
Tiny 0-1
Mag 0-1

The game that I won with Terrorblade was really interesting. It started out with that the enemy team trilaned against our trilane. When I tried to change lane they rotated the 2 supports to my lane, but the game went on alright. I could farm badly for the early game but I did not die much.

Then our Rubick DC'd when he was 0-10-5.
The game continued and it got to really lategame(they had a techies) but we managed to win 4vs5.

I dont know if I really learned anything this week, the games I lost I feel like it had to do with my teams drafting and stuff I cannot influence. I try to write and talk to my team when I feel advice is needed. But alot of people wont listen.

Next week I will try to focus on a role and hero more. I really feel that Natures prophet and LD offlane is really strong. So many supports are focusing stacking and pulling and let me stay in the lane and bully their carry.

I noted that after my first blog entry I got 200 readers, thats pretty amazing I think. I am partly doing this for myself, like a diary to keep notes.
But a question to those who want to answer, I have been thinking about looking at replays, to criticize my own gameplay. I feel like it is not a smart thing to do everygame. What strategy do you think is best?

Like, look at every 10th replay? Or maybe a game when you lose, or when you win? Currently I do not look much at replays at all.

Watch replays where you lose, and use a notepad to note down every mistake you make that you notice. In particular you want to focus on why you die every time, and decide whether it was avoidable. You also want to work out why your last hits aren't high enough, and how your gameplay differs from top level players in how you move around the map, farm, push towers etc.

Focus on one role, try to master one thing. Every role is different and has it's own unique challenges, I think best way to rise is to focus on one role and try to master it.

Also pick a small set of heros for that role and play them extensively. The more you know things inside and out, how much damage can I do, how much can I tank, without thinking about it the better you will play.
