not being satisfied with your mmr isn't the right thing to be concerned with. you shouldn't be satisfied with your own individual play. as you improve your own game, the mmr will come naturally.

i'm not saying i follow any of this directly, I mean I get super ragey and blamey but I think it's objectively the best way to approach the game. There will not be a game of dota that you play where you will play perfectly, regardless if you win or lose in the end. If we focus on ourselves, the shit play and moronic stuff you see in your average pub won't bother you so much. If you work on and recognize your own mistakes, even in games you play well and win, you'll become a much better player after X period of time. Which in the end, is all we hope to accomplish.


you always make me really sad...

alright im on 15 straight losses im so pissed off

it's ok dude it's only mmr. stop caring about winning or losing and instead focus on your individual performance in each game and improving on mistakes you make regardless of the outcome. the only thing you can improve is yourself. #improvement #longroad #dedication

This is so much easier said than done...


Well the other thing to realize is that if you reach an MMR once you will reach it again eventually.

No, I really just don't enjoy ranked. If I play it more often than not I just play Phoenix because it's the only hero I really tryhard with.

That and pubs still can't deal with that hero when he's played even halfway decently.

Can't wait for him to be in CM. Pros should have a good amount of fun with that hero.

He's perfectly fine if you have a brain. Just as good as I am with him, I'm equally as good against him.

There have been far far dumber heroes recently, and even pre attack speed bug fix he wasn't impossible to play against.

Phoenix is just in general pretty binary and boring, if you dont get a good laning phase you basically just get a mek and mash QWER every fight to still be relevant and if the other team doesn't know how to deal with it you can generally win the game with the hero. In terms of power level he's perfectly fine tbh but he's just bland and overtuned like superiormoba champions.
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

I mean, when you break it down that's how pretty much every support plays out?

Visage is press W every 4 seconds and avoid getting focused, Enchantress is how fast you can R click, Shadow Shaman is the same as Phoenix.

IDK, I prefer heroes based around positioning yourself well. Though I will admit there is quite a lot of leeway for Phoenix.
