I expected him to struggle way more, especially in 4.5k+, but he still had like a 80% from that point to his goal. 5.4k was apparently the lowest he hit on his main account, so he chose it as his goal for the experiment. http://www.playdota.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1398477
That is very interesting and inspiring.. what he said really applies to how I view the people I usually play with:
Summary: 4017 - 4509 within 29 games (24-5, 83% win rate), some minor upsets but nothing drastical. I'm really starting to dislike this rating range because people are defeatist, egotistical, they think they're very good at the game and try to tutor everybody else (why do they all think they're smarter than the other people at their rating, sigh), they whine and cry from beginning, try to force their item choices and opinions onto others (which are wrong most of the time) and generally are their own worst enemy and the reason they sit there. Games are generally unenjoyable, everybody seems to be fed up with dota here and while people can get annoying at higher ratings I can assure you it's nothing close to this. People who random heroes are generally -1 in the team as they won't repick even something that they can't play (earth spirit from my slark game) and then will just proceed to feed and be useless all game long. People also tend to tunnel vision a lot and die before using their spells or in extremely dumb ways, laning and farming ability slowly starts to get decent, however game sense is still low.
But regardless he still manages to win, so that's not the main problem. Awesome! Thanks guys

There is another arrogant guy who manage to stay in 3.8K MMR(He was 2.7K in his main for quite long time) after 50ish games also he lost around 200 MMR since the beginning(he took it form another). It'll take some time for sure for him to drop but he is the epitome of being bad and carried by others. Btw, he thinks he is good enough to stay in that bracket.
Juice(first guy did the experiment) is a very very good player with 6K(afaik) MMR and it is totally expected for him to stomp on any players below 5K.
|
There are a number of people doing that 'experiment' as well. I don't think any of them have stayed even at 40% win rate. I'll try to find the reddit post though.
|
I think there's one guy who played a lot of treant and just tried his best not to feed every game. He didn't lose that many points iirc. Which is to be expected.
If you just realize how terrible you are at dota you're gonna climb in mmr. Yet in these experiments so many people just keep believing they deserve a higher rating and blame everything and everyone but themselves.

Step one is having fun. You should just play whatever you are having fun with and are comfortable with. In -ap, I find the best thing to do is just insta pick the hero I want to play instead of trying to counterpick the other team's heroes, or w/e.
e: If you're having fun playing different heroes all the time or randoming, then do that for sure. But playing something just to raise your MMR is awful I think and will just make you hate dota.
|
The problem is you have to play a hero that can carry the game if you cant rely on your mates. I dont expect Juice to have played one support hero during that run (obviously). Still, nice experiment and hopefully it will shut some whiners up

you always rely on your teammates, you cant play solo

Juice doesn't rely at all. Picked snowball or carry, stomp plebs , go 1v5 and win. There is a significant pattern on his play and he already accepted that.

Found the thread
http://www.playdota.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1409043
And his Dotabuff:
http://dotabuff.com/players/71868908/matches?page=4
He hasn't played in a while and his win rate has been steadily dropping. Everyone in the thread is commenting about how he's either useless or one of the reasons his team loses every game. Essentially he's playing not to lose rather than playing to win and because of that he 'can' win occastionally.
His Treant Protector and Nyx are the only things keeping him up. Most everything else he plays he just feeds on.

like messi cant win games solo he needs sometimes to pass the ball to a lesser talented player

Juice didn't need to rely on his teammates, becasue he knew for a fact that he was several orders of magnitude better than anyone else in his matches. But that doesn't mean that you should take that concept and apply it to your pubbing. You're not going to be outskilling other payers in your match significantly. There are exceptions of course, you might be stacking with a much lower MMR player, or maybe you improved A LOT by playing private matches/unranked, etc. But if you're just playing solo queue, it makes no sense.

I wonder who drafts for Fluffy Bears.
Dendi is rarely involved with the draft (other than begging for pudge huehuehue) and I dont think xbox is much either. Did one of Arise/Zizou draft for Kaipi back in the day?
