It's not like it gets any better when you get higher. Though I could probably live without the struggle that I know is the 4k barrier. Maybe I'll get games before where someone picks a hard carry that I can just Wisp leech to and take to a win.

i feel like in this range it's still bad bc people frequently pick heroes that maybe they are not so great with. perhaps they are 4k with their 5 best heroes but everything else sucks.s

idk, that's what it feels like anyway

It doesn't matter, I lost them all. People going shadow blade on Terror blade, a techies that didn't set off his mines and everything else. Ranked match making is just the worst.

At 2K, life is pretty rough. You basically have to assume that your carry is incapable of farming and needs half an hour in jungle to be able to fight. They are going to be terrible, unable to farm or just bad. Everyone asks mid to gank when their lanes goes bad.

It's hard to say to be honest. I mean it just feels so much more volatile than when I was climbing fast through the 3.5-4k. I felt like before I could just win with anything that I picked because I could trust that my team would at least pick something sensible, but now it's like 80% ego and nobody can do shit.

I should probably play more before making a real statement on it, but players do feel a lot more random at this level than when I was a bit lower.

Biggest thing I can suggest is just win your lane and don't worry about anything else for a while. Going to the enemy safe lane and fucking up the enemy carry is one of the easiest ways to win at Dota IMO.

played thru 4k to 5k (im always inbetween, Im so incosistent that I can be beating a 5k one day and just straight up feed other days, also my mood is a real groundbreaking shit that annoys the fuck out of my life and affects gaming so).

And lower 4k is the worst shit that ever happened to mankind, 4k-4k5 is so bad, ppl think they're the next Sumail but fail on simple stuff, flame hard, give up easily and just dont try, and always blame people for thier mistakes, peru infested server is a thing and all that.

Once you reach 4k5 (its a magical barrier, because u dont get with low 4ks once you get there), the play level is just a LITTLE (really almos unnotiaceable) over 4k but the people are not as trashy so you can get better games, 5k i think is the best rating atm for USE because you're not too high to have to carry scrubs but not too low to be trenchy.


At 4k5 I htink one of the main issues atm and higher is the Chinese invasion, there's a lot of those that play on USE because it seems that words fly that this server is EZ points and they cant even type english and play their game, peruvians would at least flame you or ping you, they're just silent whole game.
Go pro or die trying

Yeah, the real key is to not play to many games after work. And play stronger laning heroes.

There are few heroes so amazing that they make even bad games with feeders on your team entertaining. Sand King is one of them. All hail Sand King.

You know, it occurs to me.

In DOTA2, a full day cycle takes 8 minutes. There's nothing to indicate that the sun really rises and sets at hyperspeed on that world, so the logical conclusion is that the game operates at 180 times the speed of the actual world.

This, of course, leads to some interesting conclusions.

-A Teleport Scroll takes 9 minutes to channel.
-Weave lasts almost an hour and fifteen minutes.
-Brewmaster is invulnerable for about 2 minutes while he's splitting.
-Crystal Maiden's dance routine lasts a full half an hour. Pretty snazzy!
-Leshrac's cast animation takes literally eternity to complete.

Anything cool you guys notice?
