              I get a axe in my game who could not even press blink and call. Not even like bad blink calls he literally was just scared to even try. All while screaming on mic how he was carrying the game

                @kitrak actually I got commended and friend requested after that game nice try though.

                Call me when in your last 15 matches isn't just a bunch of flavor of meta hero picks.

                PS: Teach me your Rubick Kitrack its definitely 5k worthy...

                                  ~45% wr this patch compared to 55% total

                                  plz do

                                    ive been losing a lot since 6.84c. Actually both in solo and party q. I dont really know why, but I got on a losing streak on friday (2-5) and saturday (1-8). and i got really toxic losing the will/motivation to turn around games. Also, lately I made the same experience with some really greedy and bad junglers - enchantress, sand king, chen. I guess the frustration came from their play style neglecting their team's needs, because these heros are definitly very potent junglers and teamfighters. I played only once a jungler (bloodseeker) and got flamed hard for picking it, but won :>

                                    sometimes i wonder how valve matches teams. ofc 1st of all mmr - 2nd maybe teammember star rating system - 3rd winrates/favorite positions/kda ?? Like why do you sometimes get matchmade two times in a row w the same player, even though u rated only 1 star and reported him.

                                    and someone said that 4200mmr is like a magical barrier. I must agree.

                                      lmao, why u keep talking bout my storm? you have 30games and only 57% 3kda.. its pathetic
                                      when i had 50games i was at 80%wr with him, i just stoped playing him ftw.
                                      also u say hes a braindead hero when ur top one hero is fuckin TINKER XD aka the only hero everyone in the world can win with. like literally a machine could win with this hero, all you do is spam the same shit over and over without thinking, talkin about braindead heroes huh :))

                                      but hey i should play ezalor and techies, just to be sure random 5k scrubs wont tell i "inflated" my mmr abusing " op heroes "
                                      ^^^^ adorable kitrak, im loving you a little bit more everytime

                                            Solo que is not real dota. It's a convenient way to practice things. The difference between ranked solo que and non-ranked is just that in ranked people start the game attempting to win. They may give up rather early, but they at least start out trying to win. In unranked solo que, there are often people who never intended to win the game.

                                            If you play Team matching, or 5 stack vs 5 stack - those are the best games where everyone truly plays their roles, where there can be a coordinate strategy and real communication. But setting up those games takes time and people don't want to wait to play so most everyone plays solo que games.

                                              @kitrak any factual critisim of you and you go back to touting your 5k mmr. I mean you calibrated to get there on a new account spamming tinker/void back when they were a free win broken meta.

                                              And even now in your last 15 games only non flavor of patch hero you played was ember.

                                              You pull up one bad match I had in a game I won where the best player commended and friend requested me after. On top of the fact you can't play Rubick at a 3k level.

                                              I mean seriously I still have $100 paypal that says you can't climb 3k mmr - 5k without spamming 1-2 position heroes every game and if you can prove this legit I'll pay you.

                                              So seriously kitrak prove something or stop talking for a change your not a pro and yes you do have higher mmr than me but that's not relevent to the negative things about you.

                                                solo MM is the only valid indication of a players skill. Pro players get outdrafted out maneuvered and flat out skilled all the time just because pub ranked is less skilled than pro play does not make it any less 'dota' than pro games. It is usually horrible players who suck and try and leech of their skilled friends who consider party ranked competitive.

                                                Relentless

                                                  Will there be a day when Sampson finally realizes that dota is a team game... I'm thinking no. Solo que is like playground ball. It's for kids at all MMR levels. Some kids are faster, some are taller, some are stronger --- all are children.

                                                      now i understand volvos solo matchmaking and why im losing. I'm only gettin the fatties and dumb ones in my team on the playground.

                                                        OK, I'm in the potato trench (1375 solo) but I've got to say I love the new patch even though I only play support (p5). I'm 34-16 since the new patch and 12-4 in my last 16 games. Might be the patch, maybe I pulled my head slightly from out of my ass...although I doubt it.

                                                          this patch highly favors supports since their strongest point is the early to mid game

                                                                      I have hardly played since 6.84, summer time is just too busy for me, but I haven't noticed major differences in win rate. I have noticed a lot of different heroes being used effectively which is quite fun, picks are more varied than ever. But winning at about 50%, or same clip as usual. But I also play drastically lower than the people complaining, 5k might be more punishing.

                                                                      6.84c only 8 games, 5-3

                                                                                                u know i can understand most people here complaining, but i will never sympathize with bogi

                                                                                                how does someone with 500 games of slark/brood (and insists on playing safelane carry every game) sit in the low 5k trash bracket while making threads about his "bad teammates" every week? that's absurd.

                                                                                                not to mention you're not the only one who will restrict yourself to playing safelane carry/offlane brood in 90% of your games and then whine when some shitter on your team takes the jungle instead of playing "good support" (not like good support exists below 5500 mmr anyways)

                                                                                                This comment was edited

                                                                                                  No I had football and told the garbage 3k WK I had to go and he said he needed to farm so I just left.

                                                                                                  Also pick any of the patches I was able to keep about 60% winrate overall but my winrate won't go up because of the massive amount of games I play (2 games = 0.01%)

                                                                                                  http://www.dotabuff.com/players/90503334/scenarios?date=patch_6.84&hero=&skill_bracket=&lobby_type=&game_mode=&duration=&enjoyment=any&metric=all

                                                                                                  The issue is I climbed to about 5.5ish over the last couple of patches then fell playing exactly the same heroes which are supports and don't really have a meta in the same way the other heroes do. The heroes i play are fine just this patch the players seem extra garbage.

                                                                                                  Mekarazium
