Also, at sub 5kish mmr people really dont know how to draft well for the most part. Its just poorly thought out theory craft, pseudo-strategy and counters which result in the same heroes being drafted each game. And to top it off, it takes 10 years for all of that to take place before the game even starts. | ||

They don't need to pick the perfect counter or fit into our current lineup. They don't need to completely outlane their opponents. They don't need to only play the imba or try-hard heroes. In my opinion, if, at the start of the game, you rarely ponder "how the hell are we gonna lane this?", then you're already playing decent pub dota, and are out of the trenches. You're nowhere near competitive level, and probably will never be, but I consider people that call sub 5k trenches to be "MMR hipsters". | ||

Solo MMR makes you feel trapped in that trench when you start out fresh and low especially when it is your team mates on whom your survival really depends in this kind of warfare | ||

One of those was Beesa right? "looking for gf 6K MMR" either him or a fanboy. Well you can tell him how to play vs solo bounty when he visits this thread later then ^^ | ||
