    Hi everyone, I'm posting because I want you to clarify some questions I have.
    I've played DotA1 since 2005 to 2011 / early 2012 since I didn't recieve the beta key to play dota 2, untill the game came out free for everyone. since 2012 I started playing CSGO cause most of my friends actually recieved the "key" and others joined with me in cs go, so I was losing interest in dota. after a few years (october 2015) I gave it a try to dota, the only experience I had then was watch the International 2011 and 2012, so It was a bit difficult to "learn" dota again. For personal reasons I stopped playing Dota (full time job and stuff) but I want to play again (ranked if its possible) but the community is quite larger than it used to be and it feels very toxic.
    What do you recommend to deal with people in ranked? Is better to start picking supports? The meta is really different, I dont get used to it.

      TL;DR version:
      I am back at dota, what roles would you advice me to play

          well its literally the thing you wrote without the stuff noone cares about
          not that anyone cares about this question either, but they certainly don't care about you watching the international or having a full time job

                i mean you haven't played for super long, go play unranked till your winrate stablizes, otherwise you'll just drop to 2k for no reason.

                      Play more pubgs till you get a hang of it. I wouldn't play ranked right after i started playing dota again if i were you

                        Mute the toxic people, pick LC go jungle. Repeat until you get the pace of the game

                                oh, i see, I supposed that this topic would be interesting because I see many threads about "MMR"; "shadow pool" ; "struggle in 3k" etc. So I find this a good idea to see how much real are those things.-
