Giving away a couple of Rapiers is pretty effective, considering that the guy that farmed them isn't going to try to get them back and everyone else has shit items. Fighting 5v4 or 5v3 with a few free Rapiers is pretty simple even at that level, and if it doesn't work you can always give away a few more.

It's apparently quite difficult to convince your opponents not to just DC though if u somehow start getting ahead by dint of having such low mmr ur teammates suck less than the opponents.

PS does anybody know the exact MMR difference between 2 accounts needed before it disallows you queuing ranked together? I remember some patchnote saying "groups with large MMR differences between players won't be allowed to queue ranked anymore" or something but I never saw an exact number.

Do you guys think queueing ranked and choosing AP, CD & CM is good ? Or just picking one of them? i know its faster playing time alot less time for queue but as for bringing your mmr up whats the mode you would play?

studying replays and working hard on specific aspects of your play mode


About the rest, personally I play CM and CD cuz I can't stand certain heroes that aren't in CM, and I can't stand counter-pickers, and I don't like looking at 100 heroes and having to pick one. However, that isn't to say that AP isn't a good mode especially for improving, just that I don't enjoy it.

I normally pick AP during the week and CD and CM on the weekend. But thats mostly due to time, rather than some master plan to up my MMR.

I mean it might go off wherever u were but if you blink out to disjoint it it wont hit u.

Er, Sorry was specifically talking about LD.


LD takes no damage from the Sven stun. Whether or not LD is actually stunned, I'm not sure since the transformation time is the same length as the stun.

I will take a guy who randoms ever game over the guy who just plays TA or pudge mid. Or the guy who says “I don’t support”.

I was pretty salty back when they introduced a swap penalty for randomers

I still random in AP, I just don't queue AP solo anymore. I specifically stopped once cd came out (cd is a great mode btw).

CD is the highest form of pub dota that involves a draft. Also it has a much lower idiot/reasonable-human ratio that all pick. Still mash that captain button however. Better safe than sorry.

As long as you can actually play the shit that you random, I'm fine with that.

I only choose captain when its about to default to blue/pink.

So basically 5% of the time.

After I had a kid draft weaver and PL vs a lycan, SS line up and then another kid draft warlock in our safe lane to “counter doom”, I vowed never again. And I can put together a reasonable pub draft that we can win with.
