    Is it just me or have solo queue games been total garbage since the last patch. Most of the people on my list including myself have been dropping astronomical amounts. I think part of it is people still pick junglers against the current 5 man push roam stuff but someone has to be winning something?

      Yep it's awful.

        I've been losing solo q mid week and winning weekend, wtf volvo?! But yeah, I gain like +400 mmr 2 patches ago, and now since last patch I'm kinda stuck. Probably cause I suck and I've been playing so high ranked lately, but still...

        Also, fuck jungler pickers! That always makes the support solo support and solo supporting in pubs is hard as fuck, totally depends on your cores 25+ min in. Can't do much shit for yourself.

        Last picking is 4 pussies

          I experience the worst drop off on weekends of course I can't get myself to stop playing since this is when I can play the most.

          Weekend Dota is bad I tell you.

          Highlight of my weekend Dota. Had a Silencer rush Aghs with 0 points in Q....

                I've started with around 60-65% solo queue winrate when the patch came out, last two weeks its something like 49-52%.
                my experience with solo queue can be divided into two segments:

                evening -> early night = okay games
                mid day dota = shit fest, lots of one sided games

                  i droped from 4.2 to 4.1 :(

                      can't rly complain... ive been meeting so much trash cause of my huge loss streak and not having time to get out that now that im winning a bit, a guy slightly better is like playing with hercules...

                      and well ive been winning xD

                        This was a week or two ago, now i am back to 4.9-4.8 just can't seem to win in solo though party ranked it going better. I hate junglers so fucking much.

                          evening -> early night = okay games

                          just this... many times

                            I agree
                            last game i had a bs jungle with 26 min radiance ROFL
                            every game I get a fucking jungler and we just lose

                            Metallicize

                              i have lost it

                              by it i mean 600 mmr =D

                              Metallicize

                                i can only win if i get 30 kills with slark or earthspirit, otherwise everyone sux, keepo

                                Andy

                                  also lost around 500 mmr on a huge loss streak

                                  Polish Hussar

                                    They also made axe worst so that might be part of it. Less of best hero less wins.

                                      ^or mb its cuz people buy euls Kappa

                                      Soultrap

                                        Meta is broken.

                                        P.S. 6.84 is real punishment for supports, because you have to spend all your gold on sentry wards/dusts/gems (f*ck those new invis items).

                                            I don't know why some people go intentional feeding and abandoning. I had a lot of those recently...

                                              i dropped 400 mmr a few months ago

                                              Reese

                                                why you compare 6.84 to 6.83? 6.83 was shit
                                                while last patch was about 5 man lategame teamfights, this patch is 5 man earlygame teamfights
                                                older patches were better for solo queuing imo, in 6.81 you could have farmed, splitpush, so many strats
                                                i feel i have to rely a lot on my team in 6.83 and 6.84

                                                  Honestly at trench mmr, when there is no sniper or troll to dominate every bloody game, my solo mmr has soared this patch (From 900 -1500)

                                                    did u take this screen when we were playing with dingding and got matched with epic sniper/ember?

                                                    Elden King

                                                      yeah i experienced some changes in it but i think it is more about people still trying to adapt to the new meta because you still see heroes just go jungle all game which is annoying >_>

                                                      Night 夜

                                                        I dropped from 4,2k to 3,6k at the end of 6.83 until 6.84c came out. Now I'm almost back at 3,9k.
                                                        I don't even know why I try to climb anyway.

                                                        4,2k seems like some kind of magical barrier that initiates a losing streak back down to at least 3,8k every time I reach it.

                                                          the only way to win in this patch is to force horrible fights and hope for the best. PLay like clock undying gyro etc with Massive GO GO GO abilities so your retarded teammates go in and get that massive kill gold

                                                          Elden King

                                                            tbh in this patch i have had more success on sven than even my axe which is shocking but i guess thats because sven is good in the 3.5 , and my winrate is dying because of 'heroes challenge' but whatever WORTH IT

                                                                Bounty seems to do wonders now, though.

                                                                  Vertoxity

Is very hard to do abnytjing in game if you ahve useless jungler or even not but vs undying/leshrak you just auto lost one lane and whole game will be lost because of that unyding lane.

                                                                      Strongmind

                                                                        Problem is there are no way you can win leshrak/undying lane with your 3 lane. Lets say you have Gyro/venge/disruptor well maybe you can but in how many % of games will your team picks 2 usefull supports or if you are not carry usefull carry vs und lane like Gyro or Bs? And even than 3v2 probably will go even at best because undying+ 1 can`t really lose lane so is always so fucking hard. Imagine you are slark and you have cm support and jungler and you are vs undying/leshrak. You can`t even stand lane to take exp and about creps to not even talk about.

                                                                        Andy

                                                                            if i pick slark, i get some shaker and roaming mirana support and i have to stay in lane against undying with shaker leeching xp and mirana "roaming".

                                                                            id rather solo the lane than have this

                                                                            Electabruce420

                                                                              MARLAN
