Why, regardless of if I choose quick match or ranked, do I only play Braxis, Immortal, Cursed Hollow, Dragon Knight? Just started playing again and out of 50+ games have not played any other one zzzz. I hate Dragon Knight as well ;(
you also should be getting warhead junction, completing the current map rotation

Yeah forgot that one.. OK so it's a map rotation then is the answer xD. How often does the rotation change?

Just stall. You gain a big lead every second you keep them there. Protect your squishies and only engage on overextended enemies. When aba is 10 you can engage with clone. A real splitpusher(not aba) left alone will win the game in about 5 minutes. So just buy some time.

As others noted, you may need to remind your team that 4 vs 5 your team shouldn't be looking to fight or engage. Early objectives can force that confrontation to a point, but in that case your team should be looking to delay and harass the enemy, not look to secure kills or dive at all. As long as your team doesn't die, then the split pusher should get equal or greater value than an early objective. In fact your whole team may choose to skip the objective depending on the map early on. This should be kind of common sense for your team, but better to give a friendly reminder at the very start of the game before the gate even opens. Too late after one or more team mates suicides in the 4 vs 5 and the team starts getting on edge with one another.
Not a simple question but i guess i really need some help... According to hotslogs i have 3100 mmr. trying hard to climb. I need to reach GM!!! (There is a big bet) My main role is warrior. These are only season 2.
I also play other heroes too when i need to fill the gap. Anyway. I'm having real problem with maps.
I need to fix Braxis, BhB and Temple. Especially temple. %38 winrate is abysmal... I need a deep explanation. Help on BhB would be great too.
Looks like you don't play much ETC for a warrior main. Stage Dive can be great on large maps like BHB and Temple. You could try looking at the highest win rate heroes on hotslogs on each of the maps at masters/diamond and find the highest one you are good at.
As for how to play the maps, here is a general overview of BHB:
Even though this is old, most of it still is relevant in Dreadnought's how to play every map (that was released at the time):
Sky Temple: and an older text guide from Dreadnought
Also Crowd Control on Muradin on Braxis can clear zerg swarms really fast
Feeders, own off games, bad drafts, disconnects and good plays by the opponent...
So many ways to lose a game, and I have a very hard time making progress from my lousy Silver 4 ranking, being stuck at ~50% wr.
I usually pick Johanna or Muradin because they fit any comp as solo tank, and will not annoy my teammates. Weirdly, I generally do better queing alone than with similar rank friends! Would a better player breeze through these games, or is it simply difficult to get a high winrate at any rank? You are only 1/5 of the team...
So, for whatever reason I cannot login anymore. There's always the error that my "GAME CLIENT VERSION MISMATCHED WITH SELECTED REGION".
Already checked the official forums. They recommended deleting the Bnet cache. Nothing helped. Is there a general problem atm or am I the only one who can't play? And if so: Anyone ever had this issue and knows how to resolve it?
edit: oh well, first I tried for 15min to somehow get the patch started. Deleted cache multiple times, restarted the PC multiple times, used the "scan and repair"-thingy, did everything humanly possible and nothing worked. Then I stopped trying for about 5min and now the patch started. Whatever... xD

Are you sure you're patched up? I had this issue on Varian release day? Took a while for Bnet to sort itself via patch.

I hear you, I haven't played since Cho'gall, came back for Nexus Challenge and got 3 games with a friend who's still quite active.
First game we had 2 feeders (they were just bad I think).
Second game I was flamed the entire game for being out of position, not healing (I was iron-fist Kara, my friend was Auriel...), and told to uninstall the game when we won (we had a level lead the entire game btw). Oh the game named me MVP that match too lol
Third game we had a Leoric suicide over and over again on objective and when we asked him to stop he said 'lol I have most xp contribution'. Then he would get living bombed and wraith walk back into the team (yes I reported him after)
So ya, that and the 2+ min queue times reminds me why I stopped in the first place... but now that my mini-rant is out of the way:
What got me out of the low ranks initially was to just play Valla a lot.
If the team really, really sucks, even Mura / Jo are gonna get killed a lot and you won't save anyone anyways. So rDPS offers you more protection if you get paired with bad tanks/supports and lets you make plays to overcome the 1/5 of a team syndrome.
Once I got to more middle-tier ranks than trusting myself to tank started to work since that's my best role anyways (I'm a pretty bad support player, but I think same thing applies to them). If you do tank, you have to be really active on pinging; people generally will listen more to the tank/support I found. So that really helps the disorganization.
Not sure about the grouping issues, but I remember having that trouble and thinking it was weird too.
Is it possible to set fixed hotkeys for Alarak's Ultimates? Like when you choose Counterstrike first but want it to always be on "D" while the other Ult is always on "R" no matter the picking order. I scrolled through the "hotkey" options but didn't find anything...
can i have dota like mouse3 camera options? the mouse cursor disappears and doesn't move.. i never use edge pan for my camera. this makes the game really awful other than the fact that i cannot click on anything (creeps, heroes, buildings) to get any information about what I'm dealing with.
