I feel like there's a minimum level of hero popularity/notoriety for the phrase "[hero] picker" to be applicable.

Pretty much the only reason to avoid ranked is because you're scared of finding out what your MMR is.

Only reason I haven't started playing ranked is because I want to move to my new apartment with better internet and so I can stream/record my progress from the very start

I should have clarified!

No offense mate, I respect everything you do, but you seem to be blowing the importance and value of playing ranked way out of proportion. I assume you figured your footage, audiovisual or otherwise, would be valuable for someone, but a matter of fact is, not a lot of people will take something from it and they would still be better off applying common sense to their own play.

This is for personal recording.
I didn't get to do this for StarCraft II and I always wanted to catalog the whole endeavour.

No offense taken, it's not for some utilitarian wise-man teaching (learn from my mistakes young grasshopper), but because I simply enjoy streaming [makes me talk a lot more and keeps things lighter] and for SC2; I never kept my recordings when I wish I could see what I was saying/thinking back then.

no h8! I always come in here and talk about myself usually; so the response is to quell the pointless worrying.

I'm not scared of having a low MMR, I'm worried about starting to care about it. For SC2, I liked it a lot and then I started taking ranked so seriously and started really dreading how pointless it was; but how much I cared about it, as if I'd be judged or people gave a shit.

Sort of scared here even though the circumstances are different [now I have ambitions in life/not trapped at university anymore], so I think there will be less emphasis on performing well, but I still enjoy the competitive nature and challenge of ranked play (or unranked for that matter, just Dota 2).

I'm pretty sure plenty of people think that way as well!

EE-sama was never nobody. He didn't choose to reveal His glory, perhaps, but it was always there.
