If yer wanna git good get MMR, play heros that can overtake a game and dont bother with supporting.
Can be difficult with 5 cores but that's life at 3k
And really work on your composure. If you're mad/yelling/getting affected by others yelling
1) your enjoyment of the game will drop
2) you're playing worse than you could
3) you'll loose
4) repeat 1-3

At least that's how it is for me. Thus I try n stop playing when I'm getting mad at people/me to avoid abovementioned vicious circle.

ya beesa's not wrong

pretty sure you need to just focus on yourself strictly and focus on doing everything better to improve the game.

Almost like...feels like you are focusing too much on what you did well, in a non meaningful way, and not how to actually get better. Hard to say exactly what, and its 3am so im less articulate. Good luck fam anyone can make the grind if they improve the right way

this is 100% false. ok maybe closer to like..90%..but incorrect nonetheless

a lot of the game can be decided in the first 5-10 minutes and a really good support can make their carry play at a level higher than their mmr would indicate.

in 2-3k you would have much higher winrate playing mid tho , it reduces variance so much if you pick mid , its not just about playing a great support but you also take out a potentially terrible mid player. imo

i agree with the support thing. if you have fun playing the role and winning or more specifically playing the safelane and zoning, you really kickstart your farming carry and at the very least they will be on par with the enemy core at the start of the game. some heroes feel unplayable because they fall behind. this is even worse when the player has misconceptions about how to pull themselves up after bad laning.

if i were you, i would personally use these practice games to get myself out of a mental rut and go back to my original account with a fresher mindset.

i have never described 'my cores' as shit after a game no matter how poorly they played. but i have also done things related to others that you probably haven't; such as, being overbearing with teammates and telling them exactly where to farm and how as the game is getting harder.



recently i had 80% WR over 50 games and for whatever reason i was putting pressure on myself to continue the trend--as if i had to live up to my own expectations of winning. this eventually led me to take on a more caustic tone with my teammates at times when they would do some off-the-wall builds on their heroes or generally play weirdly.

clearly they were practicing their newer heroes in ranked, but giving them mean words or trying to teach them to play a certain way on the go is not the way.
likelihood is that they're not going to listen to you the way you want them to, and it's not really your place to tell them how to play, nor is it to expect them to be micromanaged all game long.

i ended up losing 11 straight feeling as though i had nothing more i could have done in nearly every loss because i was playing each game so hard my wrists started to hurt. i think the fallacy was actually thinking that the games were getting poorer in quality and stuff like that. the real difference between the streaks of winning and losing was that as i started to lose i tried to change more and more in order to win along with taking on more responsibilities with whatever team i happened to be on.

the fact is, they're just pubs with players just like you, sometimes with pros or community figures who probably know better than you do. the best (overall) you can do is make suggestions and briefly explain why it is good. and on the point of losing, winning or even getting good practice, i'd really say don't sweat it and don't read into things.

all you need to do is focus on yourself and have the best game you can have. you can take credit for your hard work paying off, but you always could have done better. best not to revel or sit on the good stuff you did because there are probably other underlying causes for the result.
that is not to put yourself down, but to really focus down on what you have power over during the game.

i'll use the quickest example i can:
let's say you're safelane sven and your supports leave you minute 0 with solo darkseer. he gets XP, fast soulring despite you trying to use the tools you have (mango, regen, aggro tricks, positioning cleaves on darkseer, timing things, pulling for certain waves, etc.). it can no longer be helped that you received no help in lane, let's not focus on that.
you get a late HotD to start stacking minute 9 and you are officially behind.
but often people will miss stacks at this point or farm in lane too long or not very well at all.
it's now your goal to have a perfect game from here. finish treads ASAP, stack to 3/4 ancients by level 11, stay healthy while farming and getting as much as you can, and efficiently getting to your ancient stack to catch back up.
you know, 17-19m blink, 22m BKB, and then you start participating in the game again.

you focused on your farming and got everything you needed while your team evidently played the game, as opposed to mentally tilting and trying to do too many things at once while your farm slowly suffers on this hero.
now you are further ahead than you should be and to the outside eye all you did was farm and use the space your team created. now you have to figure out if farming as you did was the high percentage play or not.


tldr; don't overthink, just do what you know you need to do in order to suceed. erase your teammates from the equation for a few games if that's what it takes for you to get that composure. go back afterwards and truly try to be objective towards the details of your very own play.

False.

You can have a 50%+ win rate playing any position and playing it well and having a good attitude.

I haven't been low 3k since ranked came out.

If you don't think you belong in your mmr playing support is quite relevatory sinca a good support can take over the game at this mmr. So if you cannot perform like that, it's an indicator.

Im going for my 5k on my third account playing support and have been climbing faster than any other role. Any joker can last hit creep if you make his lane perfect for him. Then you just sit behind your overfarmed carries and watch them win for you.
