I know it's not a particulary bad hero, but in pubs, it's way too hard to get enough farm to actually do anything. Feels like you're always behind in items even though you are farming well. Doesn't make sense. you probably don't use her ult well. When you have pms/phase and 6, you can ult whenever a gank/fight starts. That is what I'm doing but at that point, you're not doing much damage either since of low levels (1 level of desolate since I take 1 level of dispersion), and also that 325 radius is quite big and most of the time you aren't doing the bonus damage. And then when you finally max out desolate (at level 10), you're either still farming for that Radiance so you got no damage or HP to do anything still, or got a yasha/not completed diffusal, which gives you damage but will still rely on your team mates to either stun-lock for you to get anything done. Not to mention her farming speed is still slow and will get slower since no Radiance that early. I don't mean to QQ and whine about it... I just want some input as to actually play this hero and be impactful.
Did you watch ti3 ? pms/phase/drums then get radiance. Max dagger then desolate, don't bother with dispersion, it doesn't really matter at that point.

Specs only, right? Muh mechanical requirements.

Is Very High bracket the highest it goes? Like the same bracket where pros are playing? I'm in that bracket but doesn't feel like it is... I don't feel that I'm that good yet nor are my team mates.

Yes, but i'm sure your hidden MMR determines your actual "bracket". Meaning that the highest of highest would play their level of players instead of those who has a lower MMR in "very high bracket".
Unless, i'm just horribly mistaken.

Yes Very High is the highest bracket, but there is a world of difference between first page very high and the area right after hard bracket.

Yes. The patch notes say that runes on minimap are only for spectators.

There's a bug where players can see them as well.
The bug report also mentioned a subsequent game crash. Presumably this is something that Valve is looking into at the moment.

Very High is estimated to be around top ~3%. Which means that it's basically equivalent to Masters/very high Diamond in SC2. Meaning that relative to the overall population you are "good", but in an absolute sense, that's meaningless.

Normal High and Very High are just labels for certain ranges within the rating system.
If i remember correctly, very high includes the top 3.5% of players. This is the equivalent of SCII having a league that goes from top diamond through master to grandmaster, so there is still a great difference between the games played at the top of very high compared to the average very high game.

i thought everyone got to very high when they win a certain amount.

As has been stated its considered the top 3% or so right now is in very high. So you are better than the majority by far, but that still puts a large variance in skill in very high. remember 3% of 6 million is still 180,000 players.

Assuming you're not being sarcastic, nope. Win rate/games played have nothing to do with your MMR.

So what increases this? Wins for sure, but what else? How you lost and how often? Net worth, CS, GPM, XPM, KDA ratio?

Probally nothing else.

Mostly wins. Aka if you win matches that you werent supposed to win, you'll go up. Kinda like sc2 mmr without the bonus pool inflation.
