If your consistently above the level of the enemy team as a support player, then your consistently playing in games lower than your true MMR rank, or with people higher than the MMR, or both

Why are competetive teams still using Rhapsody? With Keeper-based push strats dying out a bit she seems more like a liability to the team than actual help. It seems to me that there are much better heroes who can perform the underfarmed warding role. Staccato is nice, not entirely sure about the disco but I think that heroes like Glacius or Andromeda bring more to the team overall.
Could someone more skilled shed some light on it?

the only unique thing about glac is the aura, and if you have it your nukes deal very little damage.
andromeda has low range.
rhap has a little bit of everything (and then some) - stun, aoe heal/dot, decent range, ok passive, amazing ult. in a generic lineup she is simply the better pick because she gives you more options both for laning and strategy.

Obviously I'm pretty terrible, but just from watching high level team fights and such, I've seen her ulti and disco be very effective in a variety of different situations. And her stacatto is just plain annoying.

I must test her out myself. With Glacius I never really though about blast as damage nuke, more like AoE slow. The problem I see with Rhapsody is that she seems to need to stick close to things to do anything and with her squishiness it's not really the place you'd like to be.

My KDR and overall performance goes up but my MMR goes down. You can't explain that...

It's pretty easy for KDR and perceived individual performance to go up, whilst actually playing worse.

Never run into those people that hang around outside teamfights doing nothing but waiting to clean up stragglers, possibly saving skills to KS, and then blaming their team when they've gone 7/1/3 and still lost?

I know that feeling, my GPM, wards per game, KDR, and KADR all go up, and yet my MMR remains stagnate.

I have this crazy theory that I'm not playing better. I'm just unlucky and keep losing games, which reduces my MMR, which makes me play with worse people, which in turn makes my play seem better in comparison.

@Turbovolver: I usually have more assists than kills. Never really been a KDR whore as I've mostly played support. Had to switch to some semi-carry/carry heroes now because support just doesn't work at this level.

Sure you can. You play worse --> MMR goes down.
KDR isn't a measure of how good you are. "overall performance" is too vague, thus it's also not a measure of how good you are. The only proper measure is winning and losing, aka your MMR / win%

I remember when a South American team used this strategy against then VP and put PGG on like super-tilt, like 0-4 Luna solo mid.

I used to try to play pure support. But that was before I realized that noone plays support at 1500MMR, and doing so is just about worthless because noone watches the minimap anyways, and the carries can't farm for crap regardless of how well you protect them and let them farm.

My solution is to play semi-carries like kraken and such, that way I can still be super useful if I'm not farmed, but if I do manage to get some decent farm, I can carry the game away better than if I was playing a pure support like WS or something. So far, it has at least raised my MMR out of the 1400s, and carried me to 1650 at one point, but then I decided to switch to hard carries, and failed some more. trying to get back into the semi-carry mode of things now. Kind of hard though.

You could probably dominate with any hero though. :-p

I just find him getting distinctly "non-carryish" once people start getting bkbs, and when your ulti takes about 10% of their hp down. I guess if you can farm like a champ and can get stacked with shield breaker, frostburn, behe heart, doombringer, and wingbow, or something like that you could rip face with him. Speaking of witch,(see what I did there?) I do enjoy playing him, and maybe it's just my late-game item choice that sucks. What would you get for a carryish WS? I know I've had quite a few games where I've been something like 12/3/7 and the highest level overall, but I've never turned that into a win, possibly due to sucking and bad item choices.
