I just started playing not too long ago, but I feel like my winrate is abysmally bad even considering. I'm at like 42% with 166 games played so far. Should I be worried? People always say that the system tries to keep you between 45-55% but I'm constantly going on really bad streaks and tilts so I don't know what to think.

42% is honestly bad. No offense.
Try to learn from playing and reflect on your mistakes instead of just playing every game without learning from your previous games.

No thanks. The metal bear is really bad. This is a problem with concepts. They use one word to define the set -"iron" and run with it. The bear should be the coolest part. Start there
I'm not entirely sure where we go wrong though.. in lower level games it seems like noone is really trying to farm and people just try to snipe kills for gold so I can never transition into the builds that I want to. Maybe I should just start making some more economically feasible early-midgame builds so we could win early teamfights and push towers instead of going for expensive lategame items that I can never obtain.

When nobody tries to farm shouldn't it actually be easier for you to outfarm the enemy team? Maybe you're not farming as effectively as you think, but I can't judge you without having seen you play or at least some data of course.
Regarding your other idea, yeah, if you manage to convince your team to deathball it up and push hard you should see results. Low level players often have a hard time dealing with concentrated aggression.
Its the euros, just to many of them. LoL has the exact same issues, so I am not too surprised, though I have faith that valve may actually be able to rectify the issues in a timely manner.
You think the overall concurrent population of the game will drop after Diretide ends? I know I've been spending as much time as possible towards the end of the event trying to grind to get as many essences as recipes as I can while the free loot is dropping.

It's already dropped down from the 700K high back to the normal 500K they had before Diretide hit.
Which make's Valve' inability to handle the server load all the weirder.

I'm been trying to find a game for the past 40 minutes so I guess that counts as SEA servers being fucked too.
I just remembered that this is a Holiday period in USA. I wonder if that might be what's delaying Valve.

Don't feel bad. When I was new I had like a 38% win rate. It was awful.

Why does no one ever start or join open guild parties?
So very true, at least Diretide is remotely balanced. Greeviling is way too randumb.

Can we have a look at your Dotabuff? 42% shouldn't happen.

Compared to my win rate for my first 166 games you are doing well. It just takes time, maybe some of these guys on here played with more experienced players. However, I solo q'd all my games and it is tough. Then you mix in stacks of people smurfing and it becomes damn near impossible to have a 50% win percentage.

To me, it is more a matter of the number of different heroes you play and their role. I (solo-)queue for almost all of my games and my win-rate is about 46%, but I have noticed that if I play a hero I know, i.e. Lich, Nature's Prophet or BloodSeeker, and moreover, if I play a carry I know, then the winrate is more consistent. If you stick with Support, you depend too much on the rest of the team, which is very random in a queue for All Picks, especially solo, and your winrate does not mean much.

I agree with 1.09 here. First courier, still the best.
Real talk: Opinion on his aesthetic aside, I think his animations look busted.
Easy, your teammates are feeders. If you're wracking up kills on Dragonus you're doing fine, but he can't carry a team since he's squishy as shit. Both of those games, everybody on your team with carry potential had a miserable game.

While I agree that it can suck to rely on people in solo queue, his low winrate actually seems to stem from a lack of supports. I had a quick look at his recent game results, as well as viewed his last game. 5 carries, no courier for 12 minutes. That will cripple any team. No vision either.
If you want to improve your win %, your team needs at least one dedicated support. You're not going to be able to afford your big late game items when you're fighting for farm with 4 other heroes.

Yeah, your teammates feeding like crazy might have something to do with it lol
Matt, since you are likely going to be stuck in the US for a few more days with the storms going on, you should totally try to find someone to have Thanksgiving Dinner with and just relax.
Fuck no, Valve can keep it. Give Frostivus instead.

don't worry man I'm at like 51%. If you're like me, you'll care more about gettin good rather than a win %. I'm a diamond in the rough :3
Morok is still the best IMO.
but its every fucking game, ever game i get 15+ kills 6-7 deaths and lose, maybe i just dont create enough space with ganks? maybe I shouldn't take the majority of the blame there, but when the last 4 games i had with him this happens, something has to be the reason

It's an objective based game. Kills mean nothing, the sooner you let that go the better off you will be.

I have a Morok. Totally legit!
thats why i ask what i should be doing better, because the kills dont give me wins, how can i play him better?
It isn't that bad if you aren't grouping up. I'm sitting at 48.2% right now because I seem to only group with the mentally challenged people who are expert feeders and don't understand English, but queue in English only...
edit: 4-10 isn't feeding, 2-22 mid DK is feeding cyka.
