    im 4.5 right now, how long do u think will it take me

    Palm5

      i was 4.5k one week ago, went down to 4.1k, good luck with that

      🍩🍪Cookie🍪🍩

        1000 memers from 4k to 5k

        or 500 memers from 4.5 to 5k

        jk, usually takes me 2 days

          U will get 5k when u truely deserve it. To reach 5k u have to be better that other 5k (not 4.5 k like u are now) players more than 50% of times, because:

          - late in the evening u will be often matched against 5k+ players (even 6ks sometimes)
          - 4.8-5k is elo hell, u will meet both tryhards that are tryin to get to 5k, and people desperate not to fall back into 4k, so it makes games extremely instensive
          - u have to get used to skill level of 5k players and after some significant amout of time and experience start to play better than them at every aspect, including using their mistakes to your own advantage

          I think it will take like approximately 500-1000 games for a person that learn with an average speed. Some people never will reach 5k even if they tryhard very bad, cos they simply are not talented enough, or does not improve/see their own mistakes.

          I think its simillar to getting out of 3k for the first time. U admit that u suck, and try to improve where u need the most. Shorten hero pool to 3-5 heros, and try to master them. The only difference is that u have to have that cold blood/winning attitude - no panic in teamfights, outplaying enemy with confidence, hitting time windows for specific hero (thats why mastering 3-5 heros is the most important unless u are miracle)

          And the last one, and most important - dont tilt. Even if u get 20 min bf on AM.

              Sorry to dissapoint you lad ,it doesnt only depend on you.
              Unless you are super good on some hero ,evenso it depends more on how willing those fucking russians matched with you are willing to win.
              I used to play naga but fucking Icefrog made this dogshit patch where radiance was nerfed on illusion heroes etcetc

                Lex dude ur funny really.
                You think 5k is like 7 or 8k ur really funny.
                5k is no different from 4k its just the retards % is lower.
                Seriously this isnt 2014 when if u were 5k+ u were supposed to be good.
                The sample is bigger these days.I ve been to 4970 and to be honest games were pretty stupid there.
                Morons went for unconventional carries (such as riki or bs) and yes u guessed it.

                                  and if u spam a hero 4ks cant deal with

                                  Pooh-Bah

                                    if you are a 4.5k player depends on how fast u get better. if ur 6k+ player u can prob have 80% wr on that bracket.

                                      "5k is no different from 4k its just the retards % is lower."

                                      by the same logic:

                                      4k is same as 3k ,
                                      3k is same as 2k,
                                      therefore 2k is same as 5k PogChamp

                                        it depends on ur emotional state and if you can play a broken hero well

                                          What Abt that necro spammer that made it in like 2 days with 15 low priority games in between? Just pick a hero you do well with and pick him, when he's available

                                            i can tell you how long it takes to go from 4.9k to 4k like me

                                              Salza I just want to know how long it took you from 3.1K or whatever to 4K when I first met you/saw you posting on forums lol.

                                              arin

                                                depends on how many calibrated smurfs will you get into your or the enemy team

                                                  Well I was around 3700 for around a year. I was kinda just playing with friends at that point and sometimes played solo ranked on the side to see what happened. I tried to improve myself and I immediately shot up to 4.2k. So I was in 3k for about 2 years

                                                    @Lex Some people never will reach 5k even if they tryhard very bad, cos they simply are not talented enough, or does not improve/see their own mistakes.

                                                    This is absolute bullshit. It depends on how u play, If you are striving to win and improve you will get to 5k it is even possible to get to 9k. But, there are things you need, dedication, love and never willing to give up. If you can do, you can do. To all the guys who think it is impossible because, u think it is.

                                                    Don't judge me because, I never had the time to play and I am willing to improve. But If you want to willing to climb, just climb. Don't post threads for how to climb and how many days will it take, instead ask for tips to improve.

                                                              No one say 5k is very good, but playstyle starts to be completely different comparing to 4k. Its only slightly better than monkies kek, but anyway I know a lot of tryhards that just cant climb no matter how hard they try.

                                                              Even that monkey 5k lvl needs some minimal predispositions, what most players dont have.

                                                                                      Typical delusional normal skill scrub that thinks if u just tryhard u will be 6k in no time.... Pls dont say anything. Why do normal skills have always the biggest experience in VHS games ?

                                                                                      5k+ players is 0,02% of whole dota community if yasp is correct. I think the percentage is even lower due to smurf accounts.

                                                                                      Also that "Pls dont go carry as the lowest mmr" - and he picks anyway. Sometimes i think the difference between 5k+ and normal skill scrubs is having a brain or not.

                                                                                              TheDrengr

Ready. 4.5k players are good enough mechanically, but they still suck at the broader concepts of the game, in other words you can still easily outsmart them by drafting the right hero to buttrape them and then outsmart them by being prepared for timings and where to go on the map.
