General DiscussionFor very high skilled players, do you still remember your Normal & Hi...

sorta

All about expectations really, when you are fresh to dota there ain't the pressure. After getting into higher brackets you expect a certain lvl of play from your teamates as well as yourself and guess it gets stressful when that doesn't work out.

its fun at first, but you get bored pretty fast

i have 1 normal game when i stacked with 4 normal skill players 6-7months ago

10-15 high skill games when i stacked with 2 normal people and 1 high skill

back in the days before skill brackets apear well i used to play only for fun and throw and dont care about anything so i guess i didnt pay so much attention to the game.

but as i remember high skill games are less stressfull and more enjoyable By me:P
u play chilled and relaxed :D

Yes, it was fun at first but you soon realise there is a trench ( lots leavers, ragers, trolls)

more stressful due to more dunning kruger teammates and actually myself being dunning kruger. Had a discussion w a normal skill player who insisted that lion is a good carry - that is actually how i thought once as well. pitiful. glad im in 4k cancer now. best trench so far was actually 3,8-4k mmr. people were more focused. 4k-4,3k is very cancerous again.

^ THIS.

I threw a lot of games with my 2k friend, now i only get to games with 2-3k teammates. RIP unranked MMR.
From my point of view I can say:
*Games feel more empty and not action packed/intense

*Dunning-Krueger all around. Sometimes you get some 4k that knows how to play.
Example:http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1415039657
Sniper had Aquila and Treads at 30 mins. That's it, he got deso since our doom (4k) found it fun to dive their base several times, I didn't get mad or anything. It was quite funny. But anyways that's the skill level of the opponents.

*Not much for improvement, say what you will but playing in that kind of environment does not teach you anything. I am garbage at storm but like to throw games with him but as you can see it is impossible to be outmatched by them unless your team feeds nonstop.

*Way too much will the enemy give you 'advice', but this happens everywhere though. Like Party mmr 5100 Alch telling you that diffusal doesn't work with lifesteal. hue.

*No one lasthits. No one. Not even the midder, I have no idea what is going on.

*Item choices are from guides.

tldr; quite quiet, not stressful. Just play any high impact mid hero and you basically won.

dotobuff shoud rly fix that very high skill thing, 99% of ppl in vh are actually super ls, so ~

@Ampoule Aquatique
everyone is bad if you compare to top players. VH is best 10% of players in dota2. Average mmr level is between 2.5 and 3k.

Normal Skill is really enjoyable. One of the reasons why I like my 3.2k party is I'll be highest MMR and I'll be able to stomp them since average MMR is about 2.5k when I stack with 2k friends.

High Skill is for me the bracket that really makes me mad. It's not that people are good, I know they suck..

BUt it's just mentality of them I hate..
