I understand 100% dude, I was 4300, I'm down to 3911, I went like 1-24. I get support leshracs that get no points stun, Invokers with 443 games that still suck worse then my 2k friend, feeders, tilters, randomers that flame you for not playing the hero they randomed, I've seen it all. Sometimes, you just have to step away from ranked for a while, or just laugh, tell your friend, "You won't believe the shit I just saw," share a good laugh and try again.

100% you have to keep your own attitude positive, if you aren't feeling good searching for a game, step away, breath and do something else for a while. A positive attitude for you is the most important thing you can do.

Playing dota as procrastination when you are supposed to do something "important" will never lead to good things. I have had so much more fun playing dota once or twice a week after work then I had when I played 10 games day. Take a step back get on your feet and then maybe think about playing some again. 5k MMR < 4k $

Dont worry. It gets worse in the 4-4,5k rating. People get decently good at the game and that causes them to go way overshoot and think that they are the shit and ignore any advice and always think that they are the absolute definition of skill. Lower ratings arn't as tryhard and bitter. Higher ratings are friendlier and they know their limits.
You set your goal to the most cancerous bracket.

after 11 years of dota I've stopped caring since two years. my all time high was 5500 when #1 was 6300 iirc. now I'm at 4800 and don't really give a fuck anymore and exclusively play unranked with friends (because most of them are 2k anyways). It is just a number and this number doesn't change a single bit after 4k. the only thing that really difffers is the efficency (a few more lasthits here and there).

You will have: feeders, toxic players, people fighting for lanes, junglers, afk junglers, no lane supports (aka roamers because playing a real support sucks), people getting triggered

please for the love of icefrog NEVER THINK A NUMBER WILL CHANGE THAT FACT.


on the other hand my friend asked me if I could play 30 more int. ranked games so he can overtake his new mmr (solo 1900 - int solo 2600) I did and what I've seen isn't dota.
You could call everything below 3k (and I don't know when it ends) a different game like DotA 10v10. These people play a completely different game. I actually feel really sad about it. Experiencing it is something completely different. Especially for 30 games.
