What hero(s) to play when solo that will make my games more consistent 2.) How to play/what to pick when playing with a 2/3 stack of ~2.5-3k mmr, what heroes to pick to minimize chances of losing | ||

I am not actually an expert on that, as I consider myself being ranked close to the level I currently play at. If you think you are ranked at your actual current skill level, then there is not really a magic solution. The matchmaking system will try to match you against similar stacks and teams (high mmr/low mmr/low mmr +2 inbetween mmr solo players, or what configuration you have going). You can however pick heroes that are more consistent/are good at playing from behind. | ||

Use your superior game sense to not get ganked and/or get objectives/farm more/tp into teamfights your team can win/get other stuff done.

It's not that I think I'm better than people I play with, I'm just trying to find the best way to improve overall and reduce streaky-ness like winning 5+ in a row, then losing 5+ in a row. Is there a hero where if mid is taken/taking turns mid with friends when playing in a 2/3-stack that can go mid and dual off/safe lane as well (the most common setup in the pubs we play in). | ||

Void is a good hero. Can do all lanes, just need levels and some farm. PA is the same. Puck/clock/qop fit off lane/mid well. Techies can do anything (except last hit against tree). | ||

Viper, Razor, Pugna, Necrolyte, Dragon Knight and Shadowfiend are the heroes that come immediately to mind as strong core mids as well as functional cores in dual lane setups. Lich and Warlock are the only two that come to mind as workable mid / support crossovers. Those are what come to mind off the top of my head! | ||

I've had success with KotL mid but can't say I recommend it in general. But that's speaking as solo queue. What's the logic behind Lich mid? | ||

Sacrifice/nova spam gets you an exp advantage and harasses the enemy back to fountain. Not really working since bottle crowing has become a thing. | ||

Seriously my Scouse accent and "up courier you stupid cunt" has gotten it so many times because it made most Euros confused by the sound of it. If that doesn't work you could always preemptively say "let me cor pls im mid" or "up cor at 3min pls" before you need it, doesn't hurt honestly. tl;dr ask and you might receive. | ||

Unfortunately "cyka blyat" *drop bottle somewhere in the woods* is a thing these days. I play a lot of mid, but I've given up playing heroes that rely on the courier, because you will never get it when you need it. The safelane carry needs another iron branch you know! | ||
