My stance is if you ever start thinking this it's time to take a breath and re-evaluate. Sometimes you recognize you are on tilt and it's just time to take a break.

I haven't won one in like 3 days. Tilts don't last that long.
Maybe take a break and random every game in normal matchmaking for a few weeks. Make a deliberate effort to try new builds or styles of play. Every game you post you always seem to be playing one of a handful of heroes and they're almost always cores.

Quite amazing understanding of the path finding.

Hey at least it's not just slarks, pas and meepos anymore!
Probably something to do with the heroes you're playing. Have you considered a different role? Different style of play so that you can compensate for your teammates' crazy feeding?
They can feed in any role, it literally does not matter what role I play.
I'll admit this last one was partially on me because I fucked up and barely gave up FB mid (It was super close).
Leshrac requires a setup stun, which requires teamwork, which requires me to expect anything out of my team in these games. He's a good hero but not for this.
Our Omni went AFK, lovely.
Lesh has his lightening which has a slow that can setup the stun. Honestly, I think you just need to break out of your circle of heroes. Try supporting and roaming because I think it helps immensely with map awareness and positioning. I know sometimes when youre playing just carry, you can get tunnel vision.
Supporting is even more frustrating. I have tried it before and I hate it.
If you actually want to improve ,learning how to support could be a very good way to do so, I'm roughly the same mmr as you, 3.8k ,I random almost every game, and even though the position I have the least experience with Is support, I have the highest win rate supporting ,most supports at my mmr are terrible, and just being semi decent at it will get you wins
Kind of a flaw of the new all pick system, a random team gets to pick the most op shit first.
After seeing shit like this in a 35 minute game, I have no faith in supporting any carry.
Hylian we aren't kidding, if you want to break your losing streak pick juggernaut. Be the carry you know you can be.
Cliff notes: PMS if your lane will have ranged harass. Last hit like a champion. Phase -> Maelstrom. Do not stop farming until you get your maelstrom up, but gladly TP in to stop ganks or omnislash anybody stupid enough to run close enough to you. I've only built battlefury a few times when I felt like we needed me to carry the game late & I only missed a couple last hits in the first 10 minutes, but tbh you farm super fast w/ the mael. Also remember omni has a ministun to stop tps.
As soon as you get mael and have ulti ready, go gank. Build aghs with your gold from ganking (and you WILL kill at least the support heros), and from there snowball like a motherfucker. After this you can basically build whatever. If I dont need anything specific I like Mjolnir and Butterfly Don't ignore BKB if they have disables.
ALSO VERY IMPORTANT skill healing ward. Shit is so strong. I don't really like building MoM because your health pool is low enough as it is and I've never really needed more than phase boots to catch up with supports I want to slash.
Honestly, I'm not sure. You're screwed early unless you have a hero with a disjoint built in. You're screwed in mid game if he gets his aghanims up. If you can farm up a manta, ghost scepter or euls those are your best bet, I had a lion fuck me up earlier with euls and dagon

I love Hylian's rage posts

You can not believe it if you wish, I am a mediocre support, and being mediocre is all you need at this mmr to get a high winrate
This is how I got out of 3.8k hell:
There is no shame in spamming op heroes, everyone else does. If your hero is nerfed, you just have to adapt. After phoenix I played skywrath all the time, and now I like void/jugg and sand king. Sand king isn't op though, just a strong support.

Punch-Out for Wii is
a) the most racist game ever
b) fucking outstanding
Also the 'play high impact gank/carry heroes' line of thought is a good one if you want MMR. TA, Storm, Ember, etc, I got a lot of wins/MMR with those guys.

I spammed Ogre in 6.82
Nobody should lose 9 games in a row. I'm tempted to play another.
We just got simply outcarried.

I need to go to bed I suppose. I'll play tomorrow.
I don't understand why it is too much to ask to just win one fucking game. This shit is infuriating.
6.81 Razor was also pretty dumb, but I don't play mid so I didn't get the free MMR.
holy fuck just go play jugg u crybaby
you lost that game because your team wasnt committed to ruining anita mage's game AND your team roamed as five getting pickoffs on witch doctor and lich for like 15-20 minutes and couldnt break the base
anita mage wasnt even doing all that well relative to how he should have been doing, but your team gave him plenty of space to farm since all of you were showing on the map mid as five pushing the creeps towards his base
and then once anita got his post-30-minute manta style in free farm conditions, their team wrecked your team, took mid rax, and then you said "gg" in all chat and spent like the next ten minutes sitting in base resigned to your fate while anita mage went off and farmed some more and got a basher and aegis and mauled your team again and ended the game
your pudge play was very low impact to be honest

They basically grouped up after 1t minutes, and we couldn't beat them in team fights.you lost that game because your team wasnt committed to ruining anita mage's game AND your team roamed as five getting pickoffs on witch doctor and lich for like 15-20 minutes and couldnt break the base

Or just play carries instead. In 4 out of 5 of my games, the better late game wins.
Medusa, Sniper and Void are highly successful heroes for me lately.
