leveling up party ranked has been pretty torturous. 4.2k storm players vs our lowly 3k silencer who is last wording creeps...not great.

hell, leveling my solo ranked has the same shit.


I've never seen much point in party ranked. The fact that you move in lockstep with your friends makes it really weird.

If you really wanted to grind it it would be a game of finding friends who are underrated because they mostly solo or whatever, And then you could collect MMR as they equilibrate to the point where your being overrated now outweighs them being underrated.

You could probably also get a lot by partying with people way down in the trench where it can't really match you well so you stomp, or finding 2.5k buddies and giving them simple stuff to do so they play at least a 3k jugger or something.

Idk it seems mostly trickery and grinding if you really care about it. But mine is like 600 lower than my solo so maybe I'm just making excuses.


yeah absolutely. and you get weird shit like that where there is over a 1k skill gap with players. plus idk my friends random too and can't play all of the heroes well. i almost hate to play it bc the games are never fun. its only fun when you DO stack with lower level friends and just roll through the other team playing slark or ember.

just had an ember that felt like he was just rolling his face on the keyboard. literally zero awareness. consistently caught without a remnant.

people say to play a support and just do shit for your carries, but when the entire jungle is stacked and everyone refuses to take the stacks bc they actually don't know how to farm (like...illusion heroes getting stomped by centaur camps...) or understand that's how i get my levels so the moment you can do it we should take them together...that shit pisses me off.

Yeah I mean I stack with lower level friends a lot, I just do it in unranked because dealing with the number was too annoying for everybody.

I wouldn't play a super passive stacking support unless one of my friends was the carry and I could make sure they took them. If I want to win I go slark or whatever in a kill lane and just get out of control, but that starts to feel a bit dirty after a while. Something like wisp/oracle/dazzle where you can basically puppetmaster a 2.5k dude to 800gpm and a godlike is pretty satisfying though.

I'm not sure I'd be man enough to random in a seriously unbalanced game. Randoming is for messing around and having fun, and that's a recipe for a lot of not-fun.

yeah honestly, i should just be selfish and slark it up until we're an appropriate rank bc this grind has been torturous. i almost wish i hadn't brought it up to my friends lol.

i dont even care if i feel dirty, i just like to win

he's fun, but lately i've run into the teams that don't wanna just man up and be aggressive and i have lost the past couple games with him as a result.

oh and for the record i only wind up in the stacking and pulling role because im the only person that knows when it is appropriate to pull and can time my stacks pretty much every :00 or every other depending on what's going on zzz

That's a very confusing statement. A group for Dota supports, or a group that tells you it's okay when you feed 10+ kills in a game on your 'best' hero.

Cause today I needed that second one.... so terrible.
