Hey guys, I need some advice from people who are 5k or even above that. I really don't know why am I not 5k yet I try my best at any game I play whatever my team needs but usually Mid (my hero pool is okay to play at any role without any doubt), I'm usually calm and not toxic I try to be positive and keep my team motivated to win the game I literally talk to them when they get tilted or they are about to because I am stuck at 4.3k and can't get higher than 4.4 Can someone check my replays or dotabuff at least? Thanks in advance!

This is my profile you can ignore the party games, those are just to have fun with my buddies https://www.dotabuff.com/players/187196329

You'll generally get better responses if you put more effort in yourself. Pick a replay where you're not sure what went wrong, try to analyse it and ask people to improve on that analysis.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

I'm really trying man, I just don't know what I am doing wrong. I mean I know that I can't win every game but I feel like whatever role I play, mid or carry player in my team doesn't play for win they just throw it away and it really bothers me because some players (on any tier) just wins every game like it's a piece of cake.

What he is saying is edit this post with a link to a replay and add your thoughts on the game, what did you do well? What did you not do well? Then others can look at the same replay and give you some feedback on it

play support more often, no kidding. playing carry is easy when the rest of the team is doing is job. Idk why people think playing mid or carry is going to help them win the game.

80% of the dota games i play are won in the first 20 minutes (including the picks). If you are able to : secure multiple lane win with a support (mid + safe usually), win the vision battle in the early/midgame, use that little advantage to put your team in position to rosh or to contest enemy team rosh, build glimmer/forcestaff/solar crest and keep your core alive in fights.

Playing core really depends on the impact your team had, playing support is setting the tone of your game.

You see, you are telling me how to win games but I want to know how to improve myself, my decision making no matter what role I play I want to be able to be ready for all kind of situations
But, I will follow your advice and pick support for the next 30-50 games and see how it works and then they will never give me core role because my GPM will be <500 lol.

From this thread I can see you have a defensive attitude towards the advice given here. If you want to improve, that is not only related to in-game things, but moreso the ways you are able to process information and how you are able to set your goals. If getting a higher mmr is important to you as a hobby, dedicate certain amount of time to studying the game more (see below), if you aim to go pro you need even more time. If you are not sure about why you play DotA, think about that and why mmr is important to you

A general tip for anyone below 7ish k is to watch someone else's replays of your better heroes and see what they do, and compare your own play to that. That is immensily helpful, and can provide much improvement in just a couple of study sessions per hero.

Sorry if i sounded like that, thank you guys for the tips and my goal is to go pro once I get my new pc I will quit my job and play full time dota but I am unsure about that because I can't even reach my first goal (to get 5k)

Agreed, if you have trouble making it to 5k I wouldn't recommend going pro until you are really good. Most pros are 7k+ and often troll around in their pubs. I mean it's your call in the end, but 5k just isn't where it's at tbh.

Hell a friend of mine is 6.8 and he said that every time he meets miracle in a pub he gets eaten alive. And Miracle is the kind of person you are going to have to play (and win) against if you go pro and want to live from the money.
