Am I a 6k player? No. Am I a 5k player? No. Am I a solid 4 to 4.5 player? Yes. I should be ranked higher than what I am, period. For the amount of time I've played and the games I've played I'm already higher than average at 3.5k, but I should definitely be higher. I am sure there are plenty like me just as I am sure there are many (probably some in this thread) that are ranked far higher than they actually should be. The MMR system is completely flawed, and I am sure before the life of Dota 2 ends we will see major changes to this system (as already evidenced by their changes in the survey system at the end of the matches)


Fact.

This discussion here addresses all that you have argued:

always feel like I've done so much more on omni than my score shows.
they need to give him a way to get more assists, put a small DoT on degen aura or something.

For as long as Valve never releases the distribution scale for MMR then the number doesn't really mean much to me. I've made my own distribution though:

0-1.5k - macaroni tier
1.5-2.5k - wood tier
2.5-3.5k - copper tier
3.5-4.0k - bronze tier
4.0-5.0k - silver tier
5.0-6.0k - gold tier
6.0k+ - platinum gosu direct invite to TI tier

I fit in copper tier and I actually feel like I'm worse than that.

Heal someone at zero HP right before assassinate hits, wasn't near enemies. Ulti saves entire team from Sven cleave, single-handedly winning you the team fight, no assists because it does no damage.Repel your carry before 3 stuns hit him, still no assist.

End 80 minute game 1-0-2.

0-1.5k - macaroni tier

This made me laugh.
 
Guys pls leave Thacker alone. But putting him down, you're letting those Peruvians win.

While we're speaking of Omni I had no idea how annoying maxed Degen Aura was till I just got wrecked by it in a game I just played.

Jigglebilly is the hardcarry on eHug - pretty famous streamer. Chickenmc is NA Dota player. They would be pretty hard to miss if you followed NA Dota at all.

Don't really care where a team or player is from, just watch tournaments.

It's just odd how you guys want to scrutinize all my games and make all these callouts but I can't see any of yours.

All these people don't often post scoreboards, whine about ratings, and claim to be vastly underrated players, at least not with your regularity. That being said, they posted up anyway so you can go cherry pick games and try to swing your dick at them.

All of that aside, I'm going to try to give you some constructive advice again. Let me preface by saying I'm not here to attack you, I'm here to be honest with you. I went and watched some replays just like milk did and I see the same things. You have some mechanical and decision making issues, some lack of game sense, and plenty of room to improve.

Before you complain about teammates, ask yourself what you did to make that game better. Were you a positive influence? How specifically? Regardless of your situation you need to be able to analyze it and think, "What can I do to make myself effective?" If you're behind and subjected to some garbage lanes instead of wandering the map and forcing engagements, take a step back and figure out how to farm up or get the levels you need to make a difference. Take 5 levels from a lane, buy a hatchet, maybe some wards, and hit the jungle. You can find an open lane and sneak some exp and gold while having a tp ready.

Try to help your team with some positively worded direction, it's not just what you say but how you say it. Make requests instead of demands, thank people for their help, suggest an item or skill build change instead of criticizing their current one. Even with pings and some map drawing you can help stop a teammate from walking into a bad spot, and you can do it without spamming. All of this being said you will still run into people that are immune to good advice, don't be one of them.

I watched some wins and some losses, and I can safely say you are not a strong, positive influence in every game you play. You could save a ton of face by simply saying yeah, I make mistakes or have bad games. Everyone does.

I don't understand why I randomly have at least one or two horrible games every day. Even on heroes that are my best heroes. What the fuck.

Dotas like basketball you gotta keep shooting to get better and even then you'll only hit half your shots.

And no one will like playing with you if you're the only one on the court bitching about foul calls.
this isnt aimed at you hylian

Finally took a step into ranked matches and won the first preliminary one. Was pretty fun and the team actually communicated well and worked together.

http://dotabuff.com/matches/548922596

I also randomed Skywrath and that was the first time I've played him. Turned out okay. Coulda had a lot better positioning in team fights but it worked out in the end.

Then I did a pub game cause a friend told me to play sniper so I could see what the hell the other team's sniper in that first game was doing wrong (2 orb effects, whyyyy) and it was a pretty lopsided victory.

http://dotabuff.com/matches/548977145

I'm never a fan of those, really. In the moment it's "enjoyable" to completely dominate but in hindsight I always always always prefer closer games, though that's the case with everyone, I'm guessing. At least the other team tried to put up a fight throughout instead of just giving up.

Much excuse bro.

Before you complain about fatigue, ask youself what you did to make that sentence better.

Sometimes, you need to look at yourself instead of blaming Peruvians and Russians for everything.

What is this. No.

0-4.5k BELOW COPPER TIER TRASH SUBHUMAN
4.5k-5k COPPER TIER
5k-5.5k YOU MAY ACTUALLY NOT BE TERRIBLE AS SHIT
5.5k-6k YOU MAY BE EVEN DECENT
6k+ YOU ARE ACTUALLY DECENT BUT YOU WASTED YOUR LIFE ON THIS GAME SO YOU ARE THE WORST OF ALL

Guys the only thing that matters in dota is the quality of music you choose to listen to while playing; as shown by many streamers, it is not a gift that comes naturally to all.

After you've gotten good at music taste all you can do is get better at recognizing your mistakes and your successes and trying to turn those lessons into a positive influence on future games.

I noticed that the Chinese/Korean comp streams often play bad early 00's nu-metal.

It would be almost endearing if it wasn't bad early 00's nu-metal.

Jakiros new dual breath kind of sucks. Burst damage is generally more useful than dots. If they're trying to make him into an alternate Veno it doesnt work.

Take notes from 109, legit best music on a stream I've heard.
