    well for some reason i know this is a low ranked game and i just wanted to know and asked because our picks are outdrafted by the enemies. did i buy the right item choice?it just that i dont get it how we won the game despite of their picks and my farms are so slow around 20-ish minutes. it was pretty hard on my lane since my support just keep only pulling and playing so passive in the lane plus the winter is the offlane. you can see the match here please explain to me how and why we won this game.

      1) You are playing PL - In low mmr, no one knows how to deal with illusion heroes, let alone finding the correct PL in fights.
      2) Enemy made 0 items to disable you. - Normally, there's be a thorn winter/spec/clock, abyssal spec, hex carrier against PL.
      3) Since it's low mmr, I was not even expecting any saving items from the support, and I was right LOL
      4)

      because our picks are outdrafted by the enemies.

      That's just wrong.

      Also, below 3k mmr draft doesn't matter. No matter what anyone tries to tell you. You can climb all the way above 3k mmr, playing a single hero, regardless of any lineup, only thing required is a) You are good on that hero, b) You are not shit at decision making.

        goku never played on low mmr thats 100% (or played on low a long time ago), 500 mmr here they counter all, place wards, buy smoke and dust, and pick really matters.

          I climbed from 1.3k mmr all the way to 4.2k mmr in 2018 something, before quitting the grind. You can keep saying that "players have improved" overtime, but that's just a copium lie players tell themselves because they are hardstuck at that bracket. Even 3-4 years ago the low mmr players said the same. If you check around the forums, you'd see a legendary post where someone tried so hard to prove that 1k mmr games are harder than 3k mmr games.

          From 1.3k to 3.5k, I literally just spammed techies and Spectre. Then later pos 5 AA upto 4.2k.

          Only deciding factor for your climb(notice, I'm not saying win/loss) is your decision making skill.
          The problem at low mmr is that players don't think, they just right click the ground and hope for the best. AND the bigger problem is the ego, players just don't wanna admit that they are shit at the game. Can't improve, if you don't acknowledge that you suck.

          ALSO, buying wards/dusts/smokes is WAY DIFFERENT than using those effectively, similar to how, counter picks only matter, if they are played effectively.

          Lastly, Turbo games and normal dota games are not even remotely comparable. Turbo is just pos 1 dominated mode. Had like 80-85% win rate with PA - Just rush a 8 mins divine and win. Below 3k, no one decides to abandon their current items and rush a BM/ghost to counter you.

            I climbed from 1.3k mmr all the way to 4.2k mmr in 2018 something by spamming the then-broken spectre for 500 games and now I can feel like giving advices and acting like a dickhead while having a NEGATIVE winrate

              just drop the twitch in your username nobody cares about a "legend" streaming

                1) I only climbed to like 2.3k with spectre. - If only I knew spectre was broken.
                2) The remaining was just position 5 - techies.
                3) Question: Are you gonna chase my dick across the forum like the 3 other idiots before you, who ended up embarrassing themselves??
                4) Question: How pathetic do you have to be, to sit on these forums while not even playing the game??
                5) Question: How the fuck do you go 0-6, 2-14, 3-15 on NP, 3 games in a row??

                We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
