So serious question guys...

I've got 1000+ hours played on Dota 2, and a hundred or so with Dota 1 some years ago, but I only hover around 3900-4100 solo MMR and can't seem to get out of that. That's been my rating since MMR first came out to public knowledge.

Is that normal/average rating for someone who's played that much? I feel like I should be a better player with that many hours put into this game.

I don't play as much as I'd like to, but I was hoping I can get some tips on how to really improve at a much better pace.

Can you relocate an ally out of chrono as wisp?

I'm not sure if they've fixed Relocate being interrupted by Chronosphere yet though, or if it is intended.

I have 2500 hours played, started Dota 8 years ago and I'm at the same level (I guess for about 2 years now). So what?
Doesn't matter. I have fun playing the game and don't aim to invest more time+effort to improve atm. Just decide wether you wan't to get better or everything is ok as it is.

I don't play as much as I'd like to, but I was hoping I can get some tips on how to really improve at a much better pace.

watching top streamers who solo queue and picking up their good habits can help, otherwise it's really just gradually applying all your game knowledge more and more consistently. watching a replay where you thought you played nearly perfectly and looking for how you could've played even better (tp ganks you missed, wasted time not stacking jungle, noting where you walked into dangerous territory EVEN if it didn't actually get you killed, etc) might give you a good idea of where to improve your game on specific heroes.

if you really want to accelerate improvement, sticking on one hero you like a lot might help (watching pro vods of that hero on dotaflame and formulating complete game plans for different types of ally/enemy compositions), but if you're the type to get bored easily, this could be a bad idea as well.

i mean, there's no real "point" to improving "faster" than your natural rate of playing and enjoying yourself unless you're trying to go pro, but i wouldn't suggest that; pros are the type of people who apply all of the above advice and more naturally. 5000 mmr, especially in the na regions, won't guarantee better games than 4k mmr lol
