General Discussion40% winrate, over 110 games, starting mmr 3625, question

Sry for mistakakes. Im typing from old zte blade laggy phone.

So, any advices? I low to play sf. I can say im good with him.

I hardly play supps, often mid, sometimes carry_safelane.

maybe its just the way it is you belong in 3kish , i am at 2.7k now and i think its very low cause in my head i always play decent nd i deserver a lot more mmr, but maybe everyone think the same way, so all you can do is try to improve yourself.

if u belong to that bracket, then you should be stomping the noobs who are lesser skilled than you.

if not, then the calibration was accurate

YI cant stomp always and that hard. I am around my mmr, im not saying i belong to 4.5k or 5k.

I think its unfair, because i really rarely get carryed by someone.

All I want to say is, I often carry people in my mmr, but since im not Dendi or Juice, I cant carry completly alone, because Im not that good.

So, im asking for objective advice, what am i doing wrong.

Or, am I just unlucky, with 40% winrate?

You most certainly isn't unlucky, however I'm sure you're like most people.

~Think you're better than you actually are.

Almost everyone is like that, however I'm happy I do see my mistakes mistakes, how much impact I actually have on game etc. So I believe I am where I belong.

If you're 3700 you don't deserve 4100+ for sure, and that's something you have to accept.

For the part of what you do wrong, there might be a lot.

EThats cool, but since I belive you are wrong, I dont bite it.

There is no big difference between 3.7 and 4k, but i belive that little difference exists.

Im not arogant bitch, who belives that belongs to 5k.d

There might be a lot, for sure, but since you probably

Didnt check my profiles, and didnt gave

Me any advice, why would I belive you.

no shit you don't get carried, you always pick the carry or mid. if you dont carry your team, you lost the game for your team. you are stuck in that bracket because you belong there you piece of trash

You have shit kda with carry heroes, you are bad. You are the reason your team lose.

I love you too. I guess Doto community just loves to flame all the time.

Even if person comes and nicely ask something.

Thank you, anyway

people answered nicely and you disregarded them, you dont deserve anymore nice answers. the fact is that you are trash and therefore belong in the trash bracket

So basicly, you figure out that how?

You saw my 2 games with void and ls?

On last acc, my avarage kda was 3.20. I dont think its that bad

Here, from your last game, I'll be nice.
-Only 170 last hit in +40min with shadow fiend.
-Mask of Madness on shadow fiend.
-Shadow blade.
-No midas.
-No end items.
-I bet you didnt stack, raze jungle while bottle crowing. ( once doesn't count )
-You're probably not good at mid too
-I bet you don't change treads ( again a few times doesnt count )

Nice? Well, better then you, but wirhout any advices.

Same old shit. :-)

From the game right before
-Better last hit, that's better
-S&Y
-Etheral Blade
-Shadow Blade
-no BkB
-BoT before being 6 slotted ( Which should happen after 40 min with sf )

Sure you can say you're better than me all you want, you asked advice, I told you what you did wrong and can't take it. I won,t hold your hand.

Thanks for nice answer.

Why midas on sf?
Why not madness?
Why last game? Check some other, please

I do stack, when i can. I switch treads, when I think its important.
180cs? I guess you always have over 400cs?

I was talking to esp, not to you. Why not sb?

your score was 7-11-6, with 170 lasthit at 47min?

I mean, what the fuck was you doing this game? afk for 30minutes?

I was trying to help my team. I didnt focus on farm in that game.

Viper fed Bristl, I got destroyed on mid because of weak vision and furi afk farmed for 1st 20 mins.

-Midas on sf lets you snowball out of control
-MoM makes you too vulnerable early it's not worth it
-Tread switching is always important ( If you always do it, it becomes automatic )
-180 cs with sf is weak when you're mid and supose to flash farm with stacking camps
-Shadow blade is just a personal preference since you can get something like yasha into manta which makes you hit a lot harder

Don't need to look at other games, this is what you need to improve if you want to be mid:
-Efficiency
-Lane control
-Bottle crowing
-Always tread switch
-Builds overall ( You can make different builds but I don't think you're good enough )

Improve that and you'll be over 50% in no time

Thanks. I actually switch treads in laning phase, or when pusing some towers.

Mom makes sf a lot faster and gives him much needed as.

I know how to use momm on him. And on who, or when.

Manta is cool, vs Naix, Bara or some single target carry.

From all you said, I can agree I really struggle with lane control

Or with big team figts.. nvm. Thanks for your time.

I will try midas sf. But i dont like midas on him. He already has fast farm.

It's for fast level too. Which end up being more hp + more dmg + more attack speed

seriously if you consider you a good SF player and that you should be in a higher bricket howcome u have 40% WR?

also, SF is a risky pick you shouldnt pick him every single game, he is easily counterable plus at your bracket ppl probably do not stack so you are losing a lot of farm with a hero that is farm dependant and has flash farm capability, in other words you are not running SF at its full potential, so why bother picking him?

if you want a way-to-go pick go for Slark that suits most lineups in pubz, he is more durable, can flashfarm (not as fast as SF) with pounce, by lvl8 he may 1man kill everyone, 2 shot supports etc, he is more of a snowballer (in comparison with SF) due to his mobility. just avoid Slark if the enemy has picked bloodcyka if they didn't then go for it buddy

slark is also very flexible, you can build him in different ways, he is kinda fun to play and if built correctly is a beast late in the game (can't keep up with void or another really hard carries most of the time though).

about midas in SF i can't think why you shouldn't pick up it, it increases your gold and xp income, so what that you have flash farm capability? why not to boost it? its like axe is already tanky so fuck it im gonna build dps items on him

You missunderstood me. I'm not sayin' i'm Dendi-good-SF, hey, man-dude, I'm at fucking 3.6 to 4k bracket. I KNOW I have A LOT(A RLY LOT) to LEARN!

But I DO understand basics(how game works, etc) - I'm aware of many things(I just can't do all of it in the game).

I am good SF for my skill level, and if you don't trust me - feel free to add me and check it out.

I used to play Slark a lot back in Dota 1, now i just don't like him...

I've tried Midas-sf, managed to get with it now Lotar-Buter-Madness-Crystalis-midas-treads-aquila in 25 min-mark, but we literaly destroyed opposite team.

I just keep losing my games. Amazing. Volvo balance. 39% winrate.

Got Riki and Clinkz in the same lane ,last game. Rubick who decided to go carry, and so on.

I just can't carry 4 people alone. I don't know how.

I need at least 2 more "normal" people who wants to cooperate, to win a game.

That's why I'm around 4k I guess.

On my previous account, My SF Winrate was a bit over 61% back when I played on that acc. Now it's lower, but still, a lot higher (kda/winrate overall) then on this acc.

It's just non-sens.

I rly get brain-damaged people. I know I'm not the only one who gets that kind of players, but it's simply HARD to improve, if you're not 5k player who stomp 3k-4k players.

And of course. I don't play this game for money, I play it for fun. so, the most important thing about Dota 2 for me is FUN.

Not try-harding. Sad thing is, I actually keep losing games and it makes me angry.

So from what I gather, I guess its safe to say you will be leaving the dota community soon. You will be missed.

I wont leave anything, but I guess I'll take some time without Doto 2..

I disagree with the shadowblade hate. In 3k mmr people are usually too lazy to buy dust so they just leave you alone, and also you can get some nice ults.

The problem that I see is that you instapick SF, which is arguably one of the easiest heroes to counter.

The whole thing with "there's always a retard on my team so I can't win" is just bullshit. I've learned that everytime there's a 'retard' on your team, there's also one in the oposing team. You just have to find him/them and stomp the map if you're indeed better then your mmr.

Average GPM on Shadow Fiend, your most played hero:

465

Wtf do you do all game?

or you can just pick carries which is probably the easiest route; you get 20-30 minutes of guaranteed freefarm after the laning stage, you dont even have to be good just hit creeps and you'll come out 6 slotted. the laning stage can be a bit tricky but if you're more skilled than your opponents you should be able to get a ton of farm out of it

Just watch my two last games. I find this rly interesting.

I'm not mad anymore. I will just play and have fun. Somehow, I find it fun to give my best, even if i lose.

Watch that furion and DK, and tell me that's normal.

I instapick SF because I LOVE him. I want to learn that hero, on every fucking way it can be learned.

Sometimes I do it out of habit.

for every braindead teammate there is also a braindead opponent
if you can't capitalize on their mistakes (like they do with u and ur team) that its ur fault actually.. just watch your own replays and you'll see every single person in the game doing stupid mistakes all the time, its not only your team, its not only you, its every single fucking person

but dota is a lopsided game, even in pro scene there are more stomps than even games.. so from time to time you will either stomp or get stomped there is no way to run from that, even in 6k
the thing to climb is (if you're better as you say) win the stomp games and try to also win those even games that happen once in a red moon, it will get you around 55-60% WR which in 100 games (for example) you'll get about 250-500MMR. Thats slow, right? Yea that is but its also safier for you that is better than the average players on your trench. Why? Because you are grinding 25 MMR per 25 MMR, which means that you can consistantly stomp and you'll get the same shitty players in the next match instead of getting better ones (like anti-smurfing system).

Don't pick SF all the time, if you do, do it as last pick please. SF is one of the easiest heroes to counter in pubs because he lacks mobility, he is squishy as fuck, your team won't stack for you so you lose a lot of your free farm capability and if you have a bad start its hard to catch up.

If you need more sustainability in your games, pick an all around hero such as Windranger, she can nuke, she can "stun", she can escape, she can melt towers down fast. Also Puck is one of those heroes, same shit, has nuke, high mobility, team fight oriented, etc. If you're not going mid then pick team fight oriented oriented tanky heroes like Tidehunter or Dark Seer. Your ultis are devastating in fights, especially Dark Seer, the more fed is the enemy, more dmg you'll deal with your ult. Avoid risky heroes like SF because if you are playing with braindead teammates you have to wait for the worse, like people not knowing a fuck about the game and how to provide you a good game.

Pick some heroes that can be put in more than a role, like Mirana. You can go mid, you can go safelane, you can go offlane, you can support if no one else does. Viper is also good, he is a lane winner, put him wherever you feel like and you'll win the lane at 3k. TA is also a beast if there is no DoT heroes in the opposite team (such as Viper, Veno, Slark ~his pounce really fucks you~).

As for carry there is our friend Riki because people just don't buy detection, they don't at all. Slark is also a great pick but you don't like the guy so try Jugg, he is strong in fights, he is even stronger picking off, isn't that item dependant for a carry. If they gank you, just use your blade spinning shit (that gives you magic immunity) and teleport away. The same goes for Lifestealer, use your magic immunity spell and tp away. Those are heroes that are good in all stages of the game, they are easy to play, they are safe to play as are hard to gank, they don't really rely much on team to be effective.

At your bracket Warlock must be insta win also, just go for aghs + refresher and its gg, lich too, ult in the midst of a fight and wait for the rampage.

gl bro

Thanks you for your time and all of the advices. I will try it out. We'll see how it's going to be.

Haha well change more heroes bro, there are like 106 other to chose from... For instance I love to play Pudge but Im not freaking pick maniac like you :D Remember change is good, listen to these guys above :P

I can be the biggest douche in the world, but that won't make me wrong.

i played a game with u (normal) and im 4k ranked so if ranked and normal use similar MMRs you're not that far
