I currently have ~1400 solo mmr, but i have had up to ~1600 mmr.
But because i spammed Visage, i wasn't able to carry the whole game by myself because i got a shit team 10 games in a row.
Does anyone know any good hero that i can spam in ranked that can carry the game by itself in around ~1500 mmr?

Yeah don't listen to them that's pretty bad advice for 1600 MMR
Just go with Wraith King I'd say and the like - my friend's lol awful always cringe when I play with him yet crushes his low mmr pubs with WK
And I'd say second option is Sven - a bit harder that WK but really strong now

Slark's too hard with Pounce, dark pact timing, map awareness for ganks
Spectre is lol hard when you don't have free lane, people stealing CS and no support
Ember - come on guys really 1600 MMR :D

Spam Luna. Get aquila -> power treads -> dragonlance -> manta, kill all the towers and take raxes.

1. Try to pick your hero as late as possible

If there's no natural silver edge carrier in enemy team, PA can be good. Just destroy them before they got mkb.

I've been finding a lot of success with deso drow. Just don't pick her if there's "in your face" type of heroes in the enemy team. Ex : axe, slark, etc. But then again, I've never won against axe in weeks no matter whatever hero i used.

If you got mid, sniper is a solid choice as long as the other mid isn't pa, or tanky heroes that you can't har.ass in early game. Ember is also great if you can play him.

Slark is great if there's not a lot of lockdown on the enemy team.

honestly? venomancer
if you can learn to play a good venomancer he can carry you every game from low mmr.
keep Q at 1, do your lane, if lane is fine or unkillable, jungle until you have high levels in ward,
take towers at a lane, take more towers, and farm more levels until you are living breathing cancer on the map.

you can get away with veil -> guardian greaves -> hurricane pike
and literally the hero will do everything except hard-disable.

Pick any hero that gets 1-1.5k dmg/min

This sounds weird but yeah. Heroes like veno are great because you will do 50-75k dmg in a 45 min game without much effort.

In low mmr especially you just have to do more damage than them because nobody itemizes properly and nobody takes objectives.

Don't think about playing "positions" like carry or support or whatever. You can win the game from any position at this level. Just focus on doing more dmg than anyone else in the game.

Other good heroes for this... Zeus, necro, spec, Riki, veno..

viper is easy to play, easy to win early game with and you just have to snowball from that.

Bristle likely fits the same mold I mentioned above and is really easy to play. Treads + vanguard + solar crest is a very strong opener and bad players love overcomitting to bristle

Only problem is if you get behind early

The tactics I remember using well at low skill are, in order of when I learned them:
* Drow Ranger, specializing in afk farm and split push; practice last hitting and orb walking. Low skill opponents don't know how to punish her.
* Lich support, gaining an XP advantage in laning and winning teamfights because they clump up against his ult.
* Vengeful Spirit flex, taking either a core or support role in a 2-1-2 depending on how well her lane-partner can last hit. The core variant focused on team utility, relying on another core for late game. As you improve, you can add roaming or trilane support to your repertoire. Practice stacking, pulling and pullthroughs.
* Viper mid, for shutting down the opponent's mid.
