IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

If I want to get out of the trench, what hero(es) should I pick to better my chances of winning while retaining my dignity?

I'd say TB and Lycan. I used to rarely play either (and I used to lose whenever I picked Lycan) but in the past week I tried both a few times and they're straight up ez wins, ez rares, ez life.

You can't keep your dignity though. That being said I don't value mine very much anymore having seen how strong these guys are.

Playing what your team needs and being loud about what you don't want to play is usually the best way to go around it.

Like I had a good succes of rating climb only by supporting and offlaning

You have to fight fire with fire. Your pride won't win you any games and will only let your team mades down.

tbh i dont think there is a best way other than abusing "op" heroes. i tried to always pick last which left me playing the support in 80% of the games. i thought it worked out after winning about 300 points but i lost 400 since :D

Knowing how to actually play support goes a long way to being able to win while supporting. A good support can win games in every bracket and I've had a couple of friends who got 5k playing nothing but support. I'm still working at it but just playing them and getting better at it has me up about 450 points from where I started in solo rating. I also don't play solo ranked a lot though so it could be more than that.

Honestly playing support isn't that bad when you're not significantly better than your carry at playing carry and you know that you can "make him" carry you.

Playing support also isn't that bad when you realize that your game doesn't revolve around your carry and there are 3 other players on your team--only one of which you have to get fed for them to carry the game.

At my 4k trench, I think the best way to go is to just play a hero and role you're most comfortable with instead of trying to counterpick or playing something that can "get you out of the trench". It's also the most fun, I think.
