          That's doom from my last game: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3067960816

          What can I say. I'm pissed off that he's allowed to play mm, but at the end of the day it's the system that's trash, overcalibrating 2k mmr players.

          I guess just accepted that he's mentally ill and move on.

            i can race u to 4k

            dropped from 4k down to 3,5 k, from both throwing games and playing plain bad

            decided to spam my way back to 4k and now am at 3,7k

            lets do this

            i think ill be 4k in 02 weeks with the volume i can put right now (1 game a day, 10 games on weekends)

                                            All of a sudden retards happen everywhere. I went from almost 3900 to 3722 because I just don't know how to win anymore.

                                            I'm trying my best, but it isn't enough. Apparently I just have to pick acording to team, but I have no hero pool to support that.

                                            mr. rabbit

                                              ^same thing's been happening to me tho i think im also one of the retards now

                                              need to shape up for real if ever i want to reach 4k soon

                                              hopefully before may i can reach it

                                                        ill race u on my smurf its lvl 16 rn

                                                        ROAD TO HERALD 0

                                                          Won two more games. 3833 now.

                                                          Should be a quick step up to 4k if i can continue to dictate the game tempo / create space / fight efficiently.

Stopped playing ranked a long time ago, sitting at 3.6. I still want to get to 4k but I am nervous to lose more MMR, i have heard 3k is harder than it used to be

                                                                  ROAD TO HERALD 0

                                                                    ^ with the new calibration cap being 3.5k, low to mid 3k will probably be harder to climb since you might get queued with smurfs calibrating their way down, AKA playing their 2nd or 3rd TBD game at mid 3k, when their true skill is closer to 2k. From my experience in mid 3k after the new cap, many of these smurfs were liabilities ingame. Just make sure you are never a liability and learn to have the most game impact consistently and mid 3k shouldnt be hard to climb.

                                                                    Update: 3.9k mmr now. Maybe i should steer clear of the weekend kids for the final leg lmao

                                                                                          The lowest I got was 3697, I'm currently 3746. I'm about to try 3800 today, but it seems that I've been toxic lately(not like before, but lack of PMA is noticable)

                                                                                          Seems like I'm just 3700-4000 currently, so I'm close to my skill cap, which is the reason why I can't progress fast.

                                                                                          A few games I lost cuz I played badly below:

                                                                                          Game 1: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3074083169

                                                                                          Thought it's a good idea to play Invoker to combo it with LC, turned out to be disaster later on, I just lack exp. on the hero and we lost cuz of it.

                                                                                          Game 2: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3074458183

                                                                                          We had this game, I managed to keep it even for a long time, then we took a rosh, and a terrible mistake happened: I didn't notice my team wasn't backing me up, I died twice(so rosh+one more death), then my team came and died aswell, I got mad, started to blame BH for feeding and what not, everything went downhill and we lost short after that.

                                                                                          Now I won't complain too much about the game, since I mainly blame myself for failing at carrying those guys.

                                                                                          Game 3: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3070438377

                                                                                          I thought it's a good idea to rush silence on Slarky, behind this idea was to kill antimage before he gets manta and QOP aswell.

                                                                                          Worked out pretty decently at first, however, after letting antimage freely take 2 of our towers, he got ahead and splitpushed us to death.

                                                                                          Eventually he got stronger and stronger, we were unable to fight them and him at the same time. So we basically slowly lost.

                                                                                          I blame this to my ability to read the game well enough. Tho I'm not sure, I think my itemazation is bad and that turned out into their advnatage.

                                                                                          Game number 4: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3070339207

                                                                                          Basically we had a great lead, I managed to get out of control, and then something happened. I was pushing top with a gem in my inventory, while my team was in their jungle farming. I used voice to call them for help(to gather for a push, since we already taken their mid lane, so 2 lanes left), however, somehow Axe jumped me, killed me, then Alchemist, for some reason, went Rambo and died, proceeding to buyback and shortly after that dying again.

                                                                                          At this point I got tilted, starting to blame them, and we lost short after that, again.

                                                                                          Now, this mostly wasn't me playing badly, it was just mostly me being unpatient, expecting a lot from my team-mates, basically, expecting they'll listen just because I tell them to.

                                                                                          If I took the game slowly, farmed more, didn't get tilted, this would've been an easy win.

                                                                                          That's all from me, hope you're having a great weekend!

                                                                                            Seems like you play mainly mid or carry.

                                                                                            What has worked for me in terms of fostering cooperation in the team is that i communicate my intentions as clearly and as calmly as possible.

                                                                                            To make that communication pay off i.e result in teammates being on a similar wavelength to play objectively, at each stage of a game, I think it's very important to have a clear idea of:

                                                                                            1. what you want to do with your own hero

                                                                                            2. What you want your teammates to do

                                                                                            3. What each teammate wants to do with their respective hero / why they are doing what they are doing

                                                                                            Granted, not everyone cooperates, and some games even if nobody is throwing your team just gets outplayed, but if you leave your ego or negative emotions at the door, communicate and play objectively, you wont lose as many games because of avoidable tilting.
