Aye , that's true , but I feel PA was in a bit of a corner tbh. BKB blocks some things, but they have so much that goes through it that she's screwed either way.
Doesn't matter, Riki's miss chance in the cloud and WD's cask were enough to make it pay for itself.
This too.
That doesn't raise solo MMR.
I do, but I would rather have second unbiased opinions. Sometimes I only see what I want to see

Lol I laugh at people who actually care about MMR. It means nothing. Besides the best game modes aren't even in ranked.
Neither does you playing solo from the looks of it.
OH SNAP
I would love to fix that, only way to is by playing games.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Solo MMR is easy come ez go. I've gone from 3.7k to 2.8k and back to hell and back.
There is no need to 'chase' mmr, it does not improve drop rates and it most certainly does not improve the sub-human screaming filth that plays dota.
It turns you into that filth. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Play to improve yourself, winning or loosing.

I've been finding playing in stacks is making me learn more faster, because I stack with people 2-3k higher MMR than me.
If you have some friends who are 500-100mmr better, try to be their weakest link , learn from them and then take that into your solo games.

Na'Vi did not look good in the early parts of either games 2 or 3. Some serious throws by Alliance there.

Essentially 3 standins. It's expected.

True, but they looked good earlier. They've been limping along as a team for a while now. And Na'Vi hasn't been great either lately.

El Classico is always fun. Navi in das somehow....
Damn you have friends that are that much higher than you that will party up with you? must be nice lol
I'd like to do that too but I don't really have many friends that play dota. The most effective way for me to learn is to use player perspective on good players to see their movements, builds, item choices, etc.

yah, Urn is great for the armor and that bit of mana regen, plus its great if your grave heal and get away, you can heal with urn, or shadow poison urn the enemy for maximum effect.
Medallion is also great, that item does win games if used correctly. If you can pick it up after urn, you are looking at possible early roshan.
Force staff is pretty key. I find I don't usually need more items than the urn, mek, med and FS. keep up the wards and you should be fine.
Buy a TP early if you skill grave. You can keep an eye out on the map for ganks and possibly save a teamates life.

That feeling when your mid feeds like they interviewed for a job whose position was titled, "feed". Storm vs Earth. 0/6 @ like 11 minutes. They told me he was gonna come and style on me too. I said, "well see about that." Could have been worse. Coulda lost.
Also, pls carry me, Anuxi.

I wish more people had this attitude. People would rage a lot less and encourage each other a lot more. Maybe a little smack talk between teams, but you've gotta spend most of your time encouraging your own team, giving and taking advice, focusing on what the enemy wants to do and build, and understanding your win condition. You'll probably win more games than you lose and you'll be much less likely to go "on tilt". I think a lot of people attach their self-worth to the happenings in any given game such that failure is some sort of indictment on them as people. It's just a game. Play, enjoy yourself, focus on what you can do to get better. You can't can't control 5 heroes; you can only play your hero to it's best potential. You can't carry a game by yourself (unless Medusa, Naga, AM).

I'd classify him as a "game delayer". He's an expert at slowing people's farm as they tremble in fear where the next cluster of bombs might be while his own team operates in relative safety.
Rarely will a Techies be the reason you win a team fight (unless they're pushing heavily mined T3's or something), and a gem bought at any phase of the game shuts down his whole plan and arsenal.
This Techies
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1154902137
had 7 kills in 12 minutes. I was tired of seeing my teammates feeding him, so I bought a super-fast gem (at maybe 13 or 14 minutes). As you can imagine...he got 2 kills over the next 42 minutes. That's not the mark of someone who can carry you. If he does, it's because the enemy just decided to not play responsible doto and buy sents/gems when needed (before things spiral out of control and your team is behind 10k because nobody can farm safely).
edit: oh and add Slark to that list. Fuck that stupid ult.
The secret to climbing mmr. Thank you, I will now use this build every game.
Don't forget the battle fury.

people still care about mmr?

it's not surprising that some people want to establish that they "really are good" by way of some "proof" that is reflected by their MMR number. People have egos that must be stroked, and those egos are very sensitive.

My New Year's resolution is to have an MMR with 4 digits
