I think some heroes are reAlly difficult to deal with in lower mmr. Heroes that are Tanky and front liners like bristle and abaddon never fail to bait newbs into a bloodlust and frenzy. They take all the quill stacks while the sniper hammers away at them as they blame each other
Bristle is one of these heroes that baits people into commiting mistakes, which of course happens more often with people who are less experienced and don't know the hero properly. Also higher bracket player usually know how to counter properly (mostly kiting, breaking his passive and not attacking it on its back
I remember one time when I was smurfing in 3k, I was vs a bristle offlaner -- I had 2 SUPPORTS in my lane, they picked kinda badly for a bristle back. They fed him first blood and they did a terrible job zoning him out, they gave him multple kills. I couldn't farm as safelane tiny so we lost because 1. supports in 3k are SHIT, 2. I can't win that lane solo as tiny..
Basically in 4 - 5k the bristle gets zoned, supports aren't missing a chunk of their brain so bristle ends up with just brown boots RoH in 10 minutes and is useless. Compared to 2k where bristle gets a free lane, supports are unaware of their job (zone out offlaner) so he gets vanguard fast and rapes ur safelaner.

How exactly does a hero go from almost 50% to 38% winrate from 2k to 5k+? Obviously 2k and 5k+ players play a different game altogether, but still, Jesus, that's a huge fucking difference for a low skill floor/skill cap hero.
