    MuLLi

            no
            they are like archons for me
            that's how i see them
            divine player=archon

            pingwin

              theyre better than 99% of the players but in my eyes theyre liquid shit

              snakemonger-

                yeah 99 %of the players dont havea clue what to do, divines usually have the idea but still make mistakes , from my experience asa legend player (who has played with some and watched replays)
                oh and also teir mechanical skill is mostly good, meanwhile you won't meet a single player with good mechanics below ancient - i sometimes win without even being able to press buttons due to being drugged. i was amazed when divine naga siren singlehandedly won the game by cancelling song the moment my requiem popped on the enemy carry :)

                  naw dude if you spam 5000+ hours of a certain support hero you're definitely better than ancient/immortal players

                  kappa

                  pingwin

                    No, divines have no clue wtf to do. They're just mechanically better than everyone below them

                          i think divines, at least ons i played with or against had the general of how to play dota in mind, just really bad at it (i think i was better, when me and a divine naga (back in the days of matchmaking putting lgends in divines in one match) held mega creeps for 30 minutes because he refused to defend a dp+rasta push despite me being 3 lvls ahead of dp and ready to fight). mechanics next level in comparison though.

                            because he refused to defend a dp+rasta push

                            I'll give you one point as illusions are great to destroy snakes rasta and to bait/kite the DP.

                            However, sometimes you have no choice and not defending is the best decision to make.
                            So much people think Naga can just tp into 5 fed ennemies without her illusions (cd) and that song lasts 28947298479827298 seconds.
                            The worse is that, most of the time, it's the team that took a wrong fight 4v5 into ennemy shrine chasing this riki without detection to then get 5-men chronoed far from the creeps you could have BoTed to in order to song this void.

                            On the other hand, you can bring much more by cutting the lanes(backdoor protection), trying to trade racks, waiting for their big ulties to be down (like the dp ulti you stated) and forcing TP(s) so you can make the base fight more even.

                            Edit: just watched your game and the naga came def for the mega creeps racks, do you have hallucinations or you just enjoy flaming naga players ? you wanted her to go in snakes + mk ulti + dp ulti ?

                              bare with me , they did 3 pushes like that, and he did not defen even a single one. they just ttook all our lanes of rax 1 by 1 with dp ult and rasta wards. it didnt matter because we held megas and won, because we were stronger and ahead all the time, but still, i am sure we could have taken the fight outside the base instead of him afk farming all the time.

                              i just remember the one specific game when i , still an archon ranked at that point, was in a team with a divine player while soloq so i remember that game well. and i flamed him and called him boosted because despite the fact that i won mid so hard against the DP he just let them get away with free mega creeps without even trying to defend even once. but as i said it didnt matter in the end since we had no problem holding megas and his mechanics were so good that it made sf+naga combo seem extremely strong because he would perfectly cancel the song as my ultimate was unleashed.

                                  I'm divine player with terrible mechanics and poor understanding of what I'm actually doing in this game. Also I don't use microphone, so my communication is zero. Overall I'm very bad.

                                    yes i am the best player there is

                                      Chilling And Winning

                                        divine is around 4k-4.5k world's top players are around 7.7k- 8.7k. so nope.

                                        BigReddChungus

                                          yeah but the world's top players play this game full-time.. obviously you're going to win versus divine players that have real jobs, a girlfriend, and a life.

                                          High mmr means you play a lot more, doesn't ensure you're going to win, but you're likely going to win since you only play dota 2 and never go outside

                                            i recommend anyone wanna climb their medal to not trust anyone with playing pos 5 buying wards fully or something. every medal is shit even when u are immortal, as long as u are in below 6.5k just craft yourself to be better player (skill wise). even divine or low immortals they are just same, there is no pro player with those medals, so im not recommending u to trust them.

                                                Well dam boys I guess I woulda been divine at my highest cuz I was at 4.8k before medals , I was under impression divine was a lot higher then that but the comments make more sense now .

                                                cursed by Gaben

                                                  DO-NOTHING DEMOCRATS , totally agree with you, I have a wife and have to work at 9-6 everyday. It is just unrealistic to compete with top players.

                                                  I'm happy if I reach immortal and get a chance to play with them.

                                                    ^ what really gets ya is having kids and a lesser degree working unless you just ignore your children lol . I worked 60 hour weeks for 10 years and kids still effected play time nite cuz if you just working , when your off you can slam out a bunch of dotes if u want . I just took a year off cuz I had another child but starting to wonder if I should wait another year to come back when she’s two cuz I’m getting a lot of games ruined since she won’t sleep through night yet .

                                                      fight with at least two other players for jungle creeps or get picked off on the other side of map if you try to avoid that

                                                          They are good compared to ancients and below. They are bad compared to immortals. It's not rocket science.

                                                            What if my soul is divine but my game aint?

                                                              you guys need to understand smthing , most of us play for fun and dont have their life on the line in every ranked match they play.

                                                              when i come back home after a hard working day i would smoke weed and play some ranked dota , smtimes being unable to press buttons properly because shit happens and mistakes were made.smtimes playing like a god ( can read dog)

                                                              and btw divine 1 is like 4K6 while immortal is around 5k5 so low divines could have 1K more difference with div 5 players , which is a lot.

                                                                Na ofc they aint good. Herald till immortal rank 1000 is actually same skilllevel and at rank 1000+ the real skill begins.

                                                                Die by the sword

                                                                  Vaikiss`742.

                                                                    whats divine ?

                                                                    kowareta

                                                                      Yes

                                                                      Fuka suginai o nīchan

                                                                        If my soul is divine but my game isnt... Does that mean im a failure?

                                                                        Well when i was Legend or even worse i thought that too. And look at this im now divine.
                                                                        So if you divine in your soul you will get it else you aint divine.

                                                                        Die by the sword

                                                                          If my soul is immortal but my game isnt... Does that mean i'm a failure?

                                                                          Fuka suginai o nīchan

                                                                            Die by the sword

                                                                              Thank you :P.. My hopes are dashed!
