    I was 3.8k, ti5 came out, I refused to play meta heroes and had some bad games, bad teams, and now i'm in the 2.9k range /facepalm

    I can't for the life of me seem to get even quasi helpful teams, if I can't 1v5 and play out of my F***KING MIND, I go even lower in mmr lol.

    MMR is the dumbest shit ever.

      Maybe you shouldnt spam natures prophet?

        Every few weeks/days some baddy opens a thread about how mm is broken and keeps him down, cause he always gets retards. This can not be true:

        http://www.dotabuff.com/topics/2015-09-16-what-is-it-with-so-many-cancer-retards-in-47k-bracket

        Simple logic:

        If you are better than your teammates (you are not) you will win more games than you lose, because on your team there would be 4 retards plus you (the better one) and on the other team 5 retards (most of the time). Dota gives every player a number for his skill. If your number is too low for your actual skill, you should climb by time.

        Since you do not climb and stay low, you are a baddy.

        Thats the bad news.

        The good news:

        You can improve in no time! You have so many big things you can work on, that climbing mmr is really really easy.

        1. Pick wise (heros that match your lineup or you are strong with; do not put too much effort in support below 3.5 k mmr)

        2. Learn to farm (Lasthits/Denies/Flashfarming midgame)

        3. Do not feed (Just do not)

        4. Built proper Items (Dagon Spectre might be fun, but might lose you the game).

        5. Adapt your skillbuild (there is no “right” skillbuild for every situation)

        6. Watch what is going on (Check minimap and other lanes often; use your tp if enemies dive)

        7. Make the right decisions (Push/Farm/Gank/Defend/Rosh when the time has come etc.)

        8. ALWAYS CARRY A TP

        9. Check your enemies Inventories.

        10. Do not rage (lowers apm, causes you to get muted, and nobody will listen to you anyways; If someone rages mute him)

        11. If you get tired by playing, you are hungry or angry, just stop playing.

        To do this focus on one aspect a time to improve:

        Watch your replays to see your mistakes; watch pro replays/good streams, to see how they do it.

        If you do not want to get better and make the effort, play on in your lowpool. But do not blame the system.

                hahaha, anatoli that was a funny copy paste. I think you entirely missed the point of the thread though.

                I'm talking about the trench, and it is in fact real. The games in 2k are just silly, in 3.8k they can be silly too but people usually have a decent grasp on the game.

                To climb out of trench it's 80% luck on who you get qued with, and 20% being able to solo 1v9 win a game lol.

                I'm not saying i'm bad, i'm not saying i'm good, i'm saying the trench is REAL, and it's almost comical how good you have to play to win some games.

                kotl 0 - 6 - 8 (he was the only other person on the team that had decent game sense)

                Our team had no business winning, call me a baddy, give me your copy paste reply, misread the thread, my point is.

                TRENCH IS REAL, AND THAT GAME WAS F*CKING FUNNY

                  baboons, four males, listening for their prey. this is what they are after, thirty seconds away. these extraordinary creatures have been taught on how to choose their cores in the most unpleasant ways. they are agile and quick but the heavy and experienced baboon alone is the leader and instructs them to not pick his core. due to the characteristics of the four males, the cores have already been chosen and they start screaming with drums in the background. the last picker, one with odd symbols in his name that someone might relate with the unexplored eastern side of the world decide to pick what many might already have predicted, the Spectre. poised with action, the spectre runs ahead of everyone to secure his mid lane and shows off his purchased bracers as a warning to not enter his lane. the remaining baboons begin to scatter in order to secure the other lanes while the enemy hunters secure the runes. knowing they can not win after 6 minutes passed, the baboons begin to follow the alpha male and groups up as 5 in order to strike down the hunters one by one.

                      If all you care about is winning, pick earth spirit instead of nature's prophet

                          I'm climbing this patch like craaazy holy shit in ~50 games I have ~70% win rate waaaauuuuww

                          daniel

                            Pick sniper, works in 2k-3k.

                            I agree with OP, it's all about who you queue up with and how good your enemies are. Sometimes you get 500 hour players on your team and 5000 hour guys on the other. I win 80% games when I queue with my friends who are good.
