Idk bro haly speaks the truth. We were all trash at some point, and at least for me, getting past the hump/plateau/trench w/e u wanna call it, came from playing with better players, watching better players, and getting my ass kicked by better players.
Most of us were scrubs back in HoN IH, gettin picked on by the kag bros and meeru. Hell, milk showed up to 1 IH, picked devourer (pudge) and got his 0-25 ass kicked back to dota 1 after selling his account to rac.
na this one time i played IH i got a double kill with BS and i figgured whelp i guess i am already a god at dota now
essentially my problem with ih is that its too random so that it makes for a bad learning exp
id rather stack with 4 high tiers and hope that valve MM is good for once n matches us up with a decent team
like that time we got smashed by other stack cept idk why 109 kept calling pudge "blitzcrank" hes weird like that

ask him about slardar
It's debatable whose fault it really was. Regardless, its funny.
Def. agree with this. As an example, Calidor showed me the power of super early smoke ganks on mid, during one of our inhouses.
Milk explain Slardar.

The fastest way to get better is to watch your own replays immediately after games. There's so much emotion and distraction when you're actually playing the game so you need to watch it a second time to review your own performance objectively.
You'll start to notice the little things like how many uncontested lasthits you missed, or how obvious that gank was in hindsight. It also removes the temptation to blame your team for everything and move on to the next match without learning anything.

But really, tell us.
If there's one thing Valve could add to DOTA 2 I wish it was the ability to physically punch feeders and public sore winners in the face to disfigurement levels.
EDIT: Need to get my head in gear. Sorry.
I'm on a losing streak again.

OH WOW LOOK AT THAT LOSING STREAK
LOL
this is what happens to the community when casuals and "srys bidness" people are forced to play together for years. 2 losses = postal worker.

dose leeg reflexes beat me everytime
That is like ten in dog games.
Play ixdl-o. The community can be lame but you're often forced to play heroes you're not used to. The tryhards and ragers can be annoying but I feel the games are more rewarding than pubs.

who gives a shit about winrate
He does, since he is sitting at about a 57% win rate at 250ish games.
All random.
I'm not used to my old dota binges. I guess it's not the quantity of the losses, but the quality. Felt like 4.
Honestly it was that Drow game I had that set me off, brown fed mid about 6 times to Pudge and from his profile he looks like a mid pubstar.
Ranked play is coming anyway so stop caring about your winrate.
that's your smurf
I was doing that while learning, but now losing feels terrible and drawn out and winning feels good.
I've tasted 70% WR I don't want to go back.

Not having an NTSC Wii is the worst. No Project M.
Also who needs Blink/Mek when you can just walk into a teamfight with two Vanguards and take literally no damage?

Quick, you better buy it before Valve removes it like Alpine Ursa, it's not like it is the #1 selling set or anything...

I agree with Haly, it hurts but getting your shit handed to you in IH can really help out. Like bokr said, those of us that came from HoNGAF got beat on by Meeru, Loki, Thor, and Kag in IHL. You get to see the effects of their gameplay directly, and listening to/being directed by an experienced player when they're on your team helps tremendously. Meanwhile milk, 109, and swift were slogging it out in inhouse leagues in dota1, subject to the tyranny of vicious, visage picking captains.
Finding a player or group of players significantly better than yourself and tagging along is easily the fastest way to improve.
A long time ago I posted about this, but I think dota, maybe the genre, is one of the more difficult games to get good advice about or information on. As you get better and better you see that things you thought were good or effective are actually terrible, and things you wrote off can be very important. When you play with randoms you get exposed to tons of people at different levels with very different ideas about what's good and bad, so it can be very hard to sort out the useful information and apply it to yourself. Additional problems come from each match being very unique, for example the right item for one game might be useless in the next. So I guess the best advice I can give is don't cement yourself in to one idea, look at what other people do and think about it before accepting or dismissing it.
All that fucking Space Cow. Man up Hazaro.
Thanks you your support everyone!
I'll continue to play fun heroes and AR when I feel bad or want to lose.
