People ussually recommend Arcanes -> Mek -> Anything. He is really flexible and not item dependant, so whathever helps your team.

he needs so much mana x.x

Feel like you need clarities to lane and even after arcane boots he still doesn't have much for mek.

Does being in Very High MMR make you a decent player?

Is it being like masters in sc2? It's quite hard to see what % bracket you are in as the information is not really available to you.

I am starting to get games in Very High MMR but still get some players who don't quite know what they're doing - I've only been playing for 3-4 months so theres a lot a don't know. I.e my win ratio with brood is like 10% (I random 90% of my games).

It's like top 1-3% or something IIRC. Doesn't mean much though. Specially considering game knowledge, there's terrible players everywhere, the biggest diference in on mechanics.

At what point are you even good at DOTA? Even most professional players cant maximize their play. That being said, its not really the fault of the players but the game because its so unbelievably difficult.

The only people who think they're good at Dota are the ones who aren't playing against the right opponents.

I was pretty good at Dota playing 2v2 competitions at small LAN cafes 8 years ago. But really, I'm fucking awful.

Bottle Crow. He's not really more mana intensive in lane than other Bottle Crowing heroes, since Spirit doesn't cost more than other abilities used by bottle-crow mids.

I mean, that's sort of the appeal of the game, just like BW. There's always some way to get better, something new to learn about the game, someone astronomically better than you.

Actually dotabuff rating was really bad for rating you if you spend the majority of time playing with either friends of lower skill level or a high variety of skill. Since it based it off your opponents rating you were pretty much static at a certain point. I was 1900 DBR and my friend was 2200 DBR, yet we bother are about the same level in our play and were both queuing against pros when solo queueing (even more so when dual queueing).

In terms of solo MMR i guess it was decent but still was not good (hence why valve made them not show it since it is similar to their crappy model, which they admitted was not great and are working to improve, or have done so).

That's just how it is yo, the bar is way up there. The thing is, the more you learn about the game and the better you get, the more you realize what mistakes you make. Part of getting better is accepting how bad you are.
