Spectre is really good for climbing low MMR because low MMR players will only go high ground when they win a random fight near the enemy high ground. Games last long and Spectre will eventually get enough levels and items to be a nightmare

Recently spamming some games in this bracket .
Check there is no SB, AM, Spectre, Timber.
Pick Furion.
skills: w-q-q-w-q-r-q-w-w.
Phase boots, blademail (in this bracket blademail is good on everyone)
TP where appropriate to win/salvage fight. Carry dust if there are any invis heroes.
After that just itemize as needed
People here either dont know you can quelling blade/tango through trees, or are so slow that it doesnt matter, so you have effectively 6 sec disable on 8 sec cd.

Downside/upside, depend as you see it, is that if you loose a game you know it is entirely on you.

Acording to dotabuff, Necro, Zeus, Riki, SB, Underlord, Lich and CM are your top 7, and bottom 7 are Io, Earth Spirit, LD, Naga, Batrider, Alchemist, Broodmother. Admittedly, these bottom 7 are at least in part because of people just picking these heroes as a one-off and failing, not necessarily because they are inherently weak with a 1,4k mmr player at the helm.

Get good at a well rounded mid or two and focus on playing them well. Immediately mark it on the map during the lobby to minimize the change for any interference. This will yield a more consistent early game experience and a good gear/level position. Focusing on a limited set of heros will allow you to get good with them faster.

Fair warning: this kind of focus can easily leave gaping holes in your understanding of other aspects of the game and may not be as much fun.

Also: stop thinking of your teammates as being terrible as a reason for a loss. The matchmaker puts certain people together for a reason. Thinking about how you can improve what you can control will be much more productive.

Some things people underestimate is the impact of losing the early game. Often even on 5k+ your team just gives up and feeds down mid and/or courier feeds, which makes it nearly impossible to win. Going for lategame heroes to climb MMR is therefore not so well advised.

Best for climbing in my opinion are necro/abba/omni. Necro can be played anywhere to great effect, while I would not play abba/omni mid or carry. Once you decently understand what the hero does you will skyrocket in MMR.

Just spam veno. Rarely useless and fits pretty much any lineup and role, reducing the chance of other people screwing you up. You can play mid, offlane, safelane, jungle and hard support. Fits into duo or tri-lanes, can carry if necessary, can push really hard too.

I think it's one of the best and well-rounded heroes with a lot of flexibility (which also makes it less boring since you can play many games in a row with it and each one of them you can play differently).

Edit:

Other good picks would be Lina, Pugna and Windrunner. Also very versatile.
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

at 1400 mmr, you should spam carry crystal maiden.

my point is, get better, hero is completly irrelevant at this mmr.

a 4k stack would probably win every game with 5 crystal maidens

The real question is, would the mana auras stack?

Guys I have a new approach
When draft starts Immediately mark Jungle and say loudly "I Jungle, last pick please"

and then depending on their draft just pick a strong roamer
Or if they jungle themselves still jungle

Works wonders

At 3k the best is spirit breaker: charge, ping, say you're going in, team never pussy. You don't even need to comunicate properly, pinging the charge buff is enough tbh
