        I think around 2 years and I'm sitting at 5K, no past MOBA experience.

        Livin' Real Good

          Just over a year now, no past MOBA experiences, i had the game for 2 years, but most of the time it just sat unused on my Steam account cause at first i could barely play it a very low settings cause i had no graphics card, so i didn't bother. Then once i got my graphics card, i played it more, but still casually, like once or twice every 2 weeks or something, then it wasn't until around the start of summer 2014 where i got hardcore into it one day cause i had an epiphany. But when i started playing it a lot, all i played was pubs for almost a year cause i was scared of ranked. XD Then started ranked in February 2015 at 2.1K MMR, quit playing ranked in April to take a break (but ended up at 3.1 in just over a month which is amazing, i knew i didn't belong in that 2K shit hole)

          Now i'm here at 3.4, but i haven't been rising, cause now ive been trying to bring up my party MMR to 3.5 ( currently 2.8, started at 2.2 about 2 weeks ago) My goal is to be 4K by the end of summer in solo, and 3.5 in party, which is extremely do-able. I don't have dunning kruger syndrome, i just know i'm not a talentless piece of shit like most of the community who has been playing this game for ages, and still can't break 5K. Shout outs to the guy above who only had two years and is 5K, NOW THAT MAKES SENSE, not playing since " dota 1" war craft 3" and still being trash like most of the community. But nothing against individual people here, this community just does that to you.... My friend has been playing Dota for 5 years, and is in 3.5K, and thinks he belongs in 5K, i'm better than him, and he still says this, that's how you know somethings wrong.

          I'ma get alot of hate of this post >.> but before you say it, i'm not as good as i think i am, I KNOW (does that make you feel better at a deep level? Probably) nor do i think i belong in 5K, 4K maybe, but that's what i think, and it's none of your business, i'll just prove it, instead of saying it all the time, and smurfing like most of the people here, ill never smurf.

          @ the guy above again, that bs spam tho lol

          plz do

            ^
            Dont count from when u played dota for the first time in ur life, but count the hours u have spent ingame.
            Most people have never played competitive before and wont ever. They just enjoy the game and dont care about skill/mmr. Also, have they played not as many matches as e.g. Dan. who made 4000+ games within 2 years. I have been playing since dota1 casually and now dota2 actively for about a year and scratch only 2250 games together (mb +300 dota 1 games).

            I dont know, who u are trying to offend w this, but pls cut the crap about talentless pieces of shit, who have been playin this game for ages.

            and this is not a hate post. its honesty, cuz im fond of being steam friends w u and i enjoyed the rounds we played together. You seem to have a sense for the game and ur eye hand coordination is fine, too. But u basically lack knowledge, which u will achieve through playing more rounds. Like Dan, who has 4000+ games already. So, i dont understand why u have to be so disrespectful and salty on this forum, mb its puberty hormons or something.

            So dont pretend like ur that much better than the other show off's on this board, cuz u certainly are trying in ever other post u make.

              nice bait

              Crudude

                Only one other person played less then a year :(

                @Imateachyou

                To say you're better then someone else who has a higher mmr then you and has played longer then you is dumb. Especially because YOU are the judge (no one impartial is judging)
                Baiting or not your post was dumb :P

                Also you play a lot more than most people and that is probably why you improve quicker then most people. You probably did deserve 2k but after 150 games in a month you improve fast compared to majority of dota players who don't have time for that many games in a month.
                You've played more games in 1 year then some players have in the 5 years because those people have more of a life. Just keep that in mind before you insult them.

                      5k doesn't make you a good player though, hope you realize that.

                        Been almost a year or two on Dota2. First tried Dota in WC3 but wasn't my type and only played for whosyourdaddy. Got properly introduced to Dota by my friend and now I'm a thrower.
