Not really, especially on heroes like luna you can look to pick up some jungle farm in between waves starting slightly before 10 mins. I don't think 120 is regularly reachable without a brood feeding u but 100 at 10 is surprisingly achievable for truly unmolested safelaners who have a farm accelerator (glaives, am blink, tb/naga illusions, etc). After 10 minutes ur cs/min hypothetically only increases. It's actually scary what beesa type players use as benchmarks for a "good game".

These aren't things that I manage, you understand.

According to random ass ti4 replays 115 last hits (nevermind denys) as luna at 20 minutes is super uber fucking pro level.

I should be 6.5k confirmed.

The real point though is that I should have been 80 cs and +7 more kills/towers at 20 minutes. Needed to go help my team earlier with what I got in the first 10 mins.

Just to be clear, people are saying that the "ability" to win any game is in your hand. It doesn't do anything to diminish the totally hopeless feeling you get when your team goes full throw and you don't have the skill or knowledge to pull it back.

But you are wrong that you can't win because of your team mates. Because players that are very good are able to get really long streaks of wins at low MMR and carry whole games themselves.


I mean, I understand what you're saying but I'm just debating HOW much better than everyone you need to be in order to carry your team to victory despite massive feeding.

I'm 2.2k right now. How good do you think I need to be to carry a team of 4 other 2.2kers to victory with each lane feeding 5-7 kills in the first 15 minutes? Because that's how my games go...

I often find myself mid vs a 2.7-2.9k or so enemy mid and really I don't see any apparent difference in skill....

I stopped playing Dota and went back to SC2.

It's so nice to win or lose based on your own skill level.

I wish that were possible in Dota because sometimes I do enjoy Dota

The eternal dilemma

SC2: Depend all on yourself, no one to drag you down, less random shit that happens.............And then when you lose, you have no one to blame but yourself, huge mental stress.

Dota: Don't have to depend all on yourself, plenty of avenues to blame when you lost, more variety to a certain extent................but you have all those fucking games with retarded inbred bitches on your team.

There is no middle ground


YUP.

Right now the pendulum is swinging towards SC2. Because no matter how hard I try, there is always some retard playing a dumb fucking hero who thinks he's invincible and keeps charging into their team even as we yell at him not to.

Or how about people who play ranked games and just mute everyone from the start? How are you supposed to play a 5v5 team game with them?


What I try to do is establish myself as the "leader" of my team by using mic and communicating with them. If you stay positive, they will most of the time listen to you if you play good aswell. Oddses are quite high they will also want to win, so if they see you doing well they will just follow your lead. It does not always work, but it will still increase your winrate by quite a big margin if you are actually a better player then the rest in your mmr.


That's basically what I try to do every game. Some people mute you, some people don't want to listen to what you're saying, and some people DONT SPEAK FUCKING ENGLISH. On the English server.

Sure I get the occasional game where everyone is super cooperative and we have a great game (and I add those people to play with again later) but for the most part it's impossible.


Honestly, my mechanics are pretty solid coming from Diamond/Masters SC2 play, Dota is pretty easy. But what I'm not as good at is game knowledge. At 2.2k though you can basically just spam all your abilities with any hero and if you don't feed to much you can win.

This basic task seems very hard to accomplish. I've played with Faceless Voids that don't land a single Chronosphere in an entire game.... Like even if the dude was missing 4 of his fingers it should be simple enough to blink in and press "R".


I'm just saying, I'm 2.2k as well, and I play exclusively on U.S. East, and my experience could not be more different from what you're describing.

If I could go back in time I wouldn't kill Hitler, I'd kill whoever made anyone think that NO BOOTS BATTLEFURY into NO BOOTS HOTD into BROWN BOOTS DIE TO ROSH WITH NO CREEP into BOTS BASHER RAT was the right way to play PHANTOM FUCKING ASSASSIN.

[e] Turns out I've played a game against this guy once before, he went 1/11/2 on Broodmother. 0% winrate in his matches with me! Also this is his third game in a row going into naked BF and it hasn't worked one time. Hm. Some people don't actually fucking improve.

Help I'm losing MMR
Why would you pick Axe with lifestealer, sb, and viper and NO SUPPORTS
Against a MAGIC HEAVY TEAM with storm and lesh and dp and mirana
I went pugna to fuck lesh over lol but my team suuuuucked
No one had great farm, not even the safelane lifestealer that I risked my life for babysitting
I got yelled at for telling my team to group, even though we got four towers out of it >< fuckin sb had less GPM than the solo support, and I was warding all game ;_;

Reasons i'm stuck at 4k, I go support, someone take 2 last hits from Axe, we were super snowballing, he decides we now no longer deserve to get +25 mmr so decides to now feed endlessly. Fun times.

Argh getting sick and tired of seeing ursa and is idiotic ult. Yes there are counters but damn is he annoying. I played a Pa not realizing the nerf and had so much trouble doing Rosh. But then ursa can take rosh down solo with very few hits.

Defending it at the end of game: "LOOK AT KILLS F%*%*S"

OK let's look at kills.

You did great honey, and don't let any of the other kids tell you different. Some carries just bloom later than others, like, 50 minutes into the game.

PS: I went 20-1-16 in this game and it was a very near thing. When I ask HOW HARD MUST I CARRY, O LORD, HOW HARD it is when I LOSE games I carry this hard which is quite regular.

Our Mid Storm Spirit, and I quote, "storm isn't a carry, he's a space creator. Their mid didn't do anything for 20 minutes." Enemy mid was solo tiny that goes 10-0. So what did you do for 20 minutes storm?

[e] So after that game I was like fuck it, I'm going to play some safelane carry. I IMMEDIATELY get a support who is stealing my CS. I fucking LOVE matchmaking.

Fucking retard who goes refresher agha octarine zeus when we desperately needs some lockdown, takes all the easy farm and blames spectre who faced their last pick broodmother. Also fuck that roaming mirana who goes straight manta 40 minutes in with 0 ward bought. Sure they got some kills but managed to turn the gold into poop, they had 0 impact on defending towers or pressuring them, zeus TP out of ifghts full life before fights began to ulti from fountain.

As someone who plays at 3k smurfing because at that tier I can watch animes , eat pizza and play with one hand and still slightly better than the average 3k player due to being able to do the optimal thing 95% of the time , I think that's a very pessimistic or overtly optimistic view.

Someone whose a lot higher than the playing field can usually accurately gauge peoples skill levels far below them and I've encountered way too many other smurfs that obviously distort the matchmaking process. (At least I impair myself to such an extent that I rarely become a major factor in my victories). Not everyone is a 5-6k smurf but even being 1k+ above or below changes the game to such an extent the game becomes lopsided.

To win 95% of matches the only sure way to do so at lower tier is to not play team dota and play solo dota.
Solo dota is muting everyone on your team , randoming any hero and playing like your team are bots. Playing to win as a smurf is playing SOLO but it also can give you nasty habits that should never occur in regular dota games.

Have you ever seen those guys who think maelstrom first on a CM is a good idea? Those item choices are usually learned by those players watching a smurf go 20-0 in their games and thinking that it's the 'right build'.

Regardless of HOW good you are you cannot win 90% of your matches by playing the hero as it's usually played out when smurfing in lower tiers because you'll have games where your mid feeds their sniper a shadowblade 8minutes into the game , supports who buys 5 clarity potions to spam their spells to clear waves so you can't last hit as a carry and carry players that would still be useless even with 4rapiers and 2cheese on them.

Playing with people around your tier level and playing with people far worse have completely different ways of playing.
Dota games in general aren't balanced because of MMR inaccuracies and hero choices that are almost always suboptimal in pub settings. Your team could be rated 1k higher and still lose because of crappy picks and crappy strategy (which occur almost as much as lopsided skill levels). Being 1k better probably gives you 10% increased chance of victory when you factor all the fluctuations that can occur. I'd say most games are 10% favored towards you or against and it's rarely(never) 50/50.

Due to the amount of randomness that occurs in matchmaking , everyones experience with matchmaking will be significantly different. Saying "I've always had allies listen to me in my games" is not applicable to most people because that's an unique experience which may not be true for most people.

If the common denominator for lost games is you, then that must also be true for won games which is nonsensical when you think about it. If I go 0-20 but won because someone on my team went 40-0 the only explanation is that someone carried me hard and clearly my team would have won easier if I had disconnected 5minutes into the game.

Your influence of a game is 10% and that percentage only becomes noticable after 2k+ difference and certainly not 1k when a lot of people are +-1k off their real MMR.

Asking people to make significant differences to the game outcome is like asking someone to jump up 2k in levels(which is beyond MMR uncertainty unlike 1k) That's not going to happen for a long time for most people and there's really no quick solution because watching your reps, increasing mechanics is still limited by game knowledge/experience.

I don't blame Valve for their matchmaking since it's pretty much impossible to create reasonably balanced matches when skill levels vary and hero choices are huge factors. You just have to accept Dota just like LIFE is unfair. Once you accept DOTA is not a game about fairness then MMR , skill tiers are all that are irrelevant and you simply play for fun. Regardless of what MMR you are at 500 or 5000 , games are almost always lopsided and filled with ragers,smurfs and idiots and MMR is only a measurement of one EPEEN and nothing more.
