i did my second account during ti3 when u had a battle booster

eziest way now is to spam cliffjungle furion whilst watching anime
(also if u play normal games with stacks u could just go on a smurf instead of your main)

idk how flamey he is but he should cut that out completely... and yea idk maybe he should consider making a smurf

and maybe he should consider learning other roles before playing ranked if he insists on carrying every game

and he's probably not actually that good because even with hidden pool, if it exists, it probably shouldnt put him more than 1k below where he actually is (1k is already quite a stretch)

He is insisting that he is a better player than me saying that if I played on his account I would be stuck below 1k.
I'm tempted to take him on his offer and play his account.
Will that get me in trouble with valve or steam?

it's technically against the ToS but valve very rarely enforces it

Getting sub2k is hard as hell, so he's actually just terrible at the game, especially if he can only play hard carry and probably only 2-3 heroes.

Like, my friend's flame me for only playing carry, but I can play 4/5 just as well, if not better.

I'm sub 2.8k solo and it's hard as hell to win, lol.

Would probably be easier if I had actually bothered to learn Spanish instead of fucking off tho

I think a 3k would climb from 1.5-2k with close to 0 losses, honestly. Definitely less than 5 losses.

Naah. 1.5-2k would be the dream. There you get to see/play all the worst bits of DotA.

A friend allegedly knows a guy who's ~400 MMR. Must be beautiful to play...

I know a number of 5k players who bought calibrated 1k accounts to have fun, it appears to be a pretty good investment of 15 or so dollars
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

why dont u just 1v1 him mid with sf or something
such a large mmr discrepancy can easily be quantified by lane mechanics. 500mmr is a lot, not to mention 1500, especially at 1500.


also i have sub 1k games played why do i even post on this forum
