How to improve at this game. Seems like a forever i am at my current mmr.
Should i just rotate 4-5 heroes so i have less to practice on ?
I got semi decent by spamming WR then Lion then Rubick. Those are my core and I'm pretty confident in games where I play them but shiver when I play other supports/semi-carries like Abaddon or Bane

Was playing a ranked game. Disruptor warns us at the beginning of the game "First time", skills static field and heads towards our lich/disruptor/morphling trilane. 45 minutes later, he's got 23 deaths to his name, has acquired a second mek to supplement my own, and a miracle strikes.
As my team is pushing top and I'm defending our last two lanes of rax, EVERYONE in the game DC's but me, and a "Server stability issues detected, stats will not be recorded" message shows. So I select all my allied heroes and attack-move their rax. Shortly after the rax dies, everyone reconnects.
Enemy team is justifiedly furious, because the game they're otherwise stomping is now even, as far as rax go. Nobody but me got to see the "no stats will be recorded" message, so much yelling later the enemy team pushes the rest of our rax and closes out the game. Then sees the score screen and its complete lack of MMR change. LOLOLOL.
So, summary of QQ:
A) I'm a bigger dick than I give myself credit for
B) Valve servers haff problem
C) Do NOT pick a relatively complicated hero for the first time in ranked, then tilt and feed really hard when you've got no idea what you're doing on said hero.
Thank god for no stats though, it turned a FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF into a LOL
You're canadian tho. How can you be evil?!

Random Draft game. I actually went AFK at the start a bit so I ended up going random Veno. Shitty but whatever I can veno fine. Drow, Lion, Lina, and CM round out the rest of the team. Kinda bad lineup but ok. Other team is Batrider, Kunkka, Chen, Skywrath, and Mirana. I get shit on in lane by Chen and his fuckin creeps. Every lane was a loss pretty much. They make some stupid engagements and we end up getting kills. Steam servers shit themselves a bit, everyones ping shoots up and we get some more kills because of that and Mirana ends up discing for a couple minutes.
Dunno if they just stopped caring but we started to win the teamfights. Lion and Lina would be oneshotting people, CM ults, and our Drow was doing like 500 dmg or some shit (He was six slotted with Daedalus, Shadow Blade, MKB, Butterfly), and I was getting kills from venos poison constantly. Somehow they made the hardest throw I have ever seen in a fucking dota game, being ahead 20 kills at one point. Ended up being an hour long game.
I dunno if it's QQ really. A game that I thought we lost for sure somehow came back from the sheer stupidity of the other team. I still feel like I wasted an hour lol.

Holy shit, I didnt really get the complaints about counter picking in AP until I started playing meepo. Every single fucking game, I have to wait the very end of the timer otherwise the ennemy team instapicks Earth Shaker / Lich / Timbersaw / Sven / Elder Titan. And then they still end up picking one or two of them by pausing after the timer ends -_-
In fucking UNRANKED all pick. Seriously why. I didnt seem so obvious with other heroes, dunno why people are so proactive about counter picking meepo in particular when he's far from being the most played hero.
Edit: And void, fuck void.

I grew up in Michigan when I was little, and have never been whole and pure since.
I'm really sorry about that.

I lost the games we have a serious advantage but mates dive to fountain instead of attacking towers. It happens in 3 games out of 6.
And I won games with no support 5 core lineups when I thought we lost in the very beginning of the game.
Also I play in a level people play amazingly well and retardedly bad in one game. It is like bad positioning, miss usage of spell, worst item choices leads to a nail biting early game then a few spectacular ultimates outright won the games. After the match I hesitate to give either 1 star or 5 star to that players.

Just had a slark not get his Q.... and i dont mean initially.. I mean level 18 he didnt have a point in Q when we are against a crystal maiden, ursa, Witch doctor.... what in the fuck. His reasoning was "I dont ever use Q so i never get it" while getting repeatedly rooted/slowed/stunned.
Your Slark portrait makes it even funnier

What's worse, a hill jungling furion? Or a teammate who buys 2 sentries and wards both hill camps as soon as he sees furion skill teleport first?

I've seen a NP once do the level 2 sprout gang after hill jungling. One vs a bazillion AFK guys who must be browsing the internet during his dota 2 game.

I've seen iceiceice cliff furion, but he just did it so that he could gank from level 1.

Started to play ranked recently, my god its SO much more frustrating knowing the games matter.
So I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but from now on I'm picking Void every single ranked game. Void is one of a few heroes I've been playing since I started DOTA2 two years ago and am confident of racking up a good winrate with. So I don't deliberately pick him too often as its "too easy" (same goes for CK and Naga); and in the current state he's in its borderline broken. But I know I can grind out a ton of MMR that way.

had a jungle Doom that pretty much afk farmed until he had Midas/Tranq/Blink/Aghs/Refresher. The amazing thing is that we won, because solo safelane Sven managed to stay even vs Tiny/Ursa and my solo offlane KotL managed to RAPE solo safelane Spectre. Although my mid NS lost so hard that their mid Invoker got a minute 4 midas.
3.5k mmr is appearently a cesspool of down syndrome players.
|
I'm playing techies. Ally picks Kotl, get mana once entire game.
|
Huskarr is 1/7, yelling at our 4/0 mid mirana and my support lina for "being terrible". Hard to support when our safelane is pinned to their tower, and both times I try to pull I have to leave the pull halfway through, because he's proven he's fully capable of dying to their solo offlane in the time it takes for the pull camp to die.

There's a solution to this. Make a big (triple+) stack in the pull camp. That way the pull dies quicker and you don't even need to stick around until it does.
It becomes more about denying XP than farming yourself, but you can recover some of that when you clear the stack.

If I don't have the time to through pull, I won't have the time to triple stack. It's still a ~20 second investment per pull. The correct play there was probably to do my best to deny in lane, because if the carry has no interest in controlling the lane momentum, then stacking and pulling is only a bandaid anyways.
To clarify - I was playing as radiant, and chose to leave my pull before I could complete the through-pull, in an attempt to save the huskarr. I wasn't sitting at the pull after through-pulling and trying to last hit creeps; he was almost dead before a single pull of the small camp had enough time to get low enough for me to through pull. So like 30 seconds.
|
Stacking the Radiant pull camp with Lina from a pushed lane is quick if you invest some mana in it; blow up  trees with LSA and pull the camp from behind to stack it. This should take less than 10 seconds per stack, assuming you have brown boots. Once there's a large enough stack, you can safely abandon a pull as soon as the lane creeps aggro on the jungle creeps.
It's also possible that Huskar died because he was expecting a creep wave to show up while he was tanking the enemy creep wave. If that's the case, I recommend always warning about pulls via chatwheel.
