did you see all the people saying naughty dog would be a great fit to do hl3
like what the fuck kind of delusion is that
I have discovered that when I try to counterpick the other team, or pick to compliment mine, I lose.
When I DGAF and pick whatever I darn well please, I win.
I don't understand.
Playing what you're comfortable with, otherwise known as "your style" in every esport cliché ever uttered, tends to outweigh a crude flowchart approach to drafting.

Playing solo unranked is just asking for a clownfest to happen and teams can be wildly unbalanced. I would look to party up with people to play unranked or start playing solo queue ranked for better match quality.

W33 support?
Whos going to draft on that w33 squad?
https://twitter.com/Saksadota/status/902630524564406272unfortunately it will be cancel.
w33 plays a sick clock btw
I can play the majority of the roster of heroes though, so comfort really isn't a thing. Secondly, even when I play "my favorites," it's not working out, either.
Since I've started playing again:
I'm not even going to bother trying ranked (solo) if "normal skill" games are like this.

Not so much easier but better matchmakingYou willing to argue that solo ranked is easier than non-ranked solo?
yes, unranked is full of shitheads who queue with their retarded friends... they will feed then mass report the non party members.... ranked is full of shit heads too... however they are motivated to win( the other excuse i get is "oh its just unranked chill") due to the need to inflate their e peen etc etc

Put a tank in a mall as they say in SEA
I don't get what's good about him in lower MMRs though, especially if you're solo supporting, which happens 95% of the time. I think Rhasta/Shadow Shaman is probably the best support to grind MMR with, high attack damage and a long ass level 1 disable. Also does so much in building damage, so your carries dont have as much pushing responsibility and you're able to generally get 4-5 enemy heroes to react to your rotations. Warlock's similar, but with more dependence on items and no easy farming mechanism.Fuuuuuck, I slept too long on Lich
Adios free MMR
Level 25 and team fightI don't get what's good about him in lower MMRs though, especially if you're solo supporting, which happens 95% of the time.

Necro was my MMR grinder a year ago, but that was when his Sceptre would delete Heroes. BKB and Linkens be darned, your core hero is about to take a time-out.
I don't understand why only after they removed the delete hero benefit did Necro become popular. I thought he was better the other way, especially after nerfing his ult c/d.
You get Sadist for free now and Ghost Shroud is a pretty nice ability for a hero that wants to stand i the middle of a fight.
While the no BB scepter upgrade was pretty good in certain situations i'd rather have the current 25 sec CD Scythe because in higher MMR games people know how to save their teammates from the ult.
Free sadist does sound sexy AF. I'll have to read up on if it's scales with levels or if it's built into another skill.
Low 4k/high 3k I have encountered a vengeful Spirit or two who would swap before the ult hits. It's been years, but I still have yet to see anyone use a Lotus orb. Blade mail is most common followed by borrowed linken.
Glimmers probably the best solution for Necro ult. Heroes great, only problem at low MMR is that s lot of people expect you to support as Necro, altough that's changing.
Wait...people STILL believe that Necro is a support?! I remember that (wrong) perception being a thing like 5 years ago, but I didn't think people still believed it. I haven't had a single game in years where someone thought that.
I don't know if it holds true for everyone, but when I first started playing, I thought Necro was a support because he had a heal. I'm guessing that's why most others think he's a support.
He's an INT hero. For some people, that's enough.
(My recollection was that he was also more of a support back in the Dota 1 days. The same way that Veno used to be a viable carry.)
Aghanim's Scepter now also reduces Reaper's Sycthe mana cost from 175/340/500 to 150/340/500.
Curious how he was different to be a support back in Dota 1 then. I'll have to go look up some changelog history on that one.
It's kind of like some odd things that changed in the meta when the switch from Dota 1 to Dota 2 happened. For instance people used to always say "Don't get Blademail on Bristleback, ever!" and now it's considered standard.
I had a laugh reading this patch note from 6.52
Soooo....25 mana at level 1 for 4200g?!
At least in pub games I think there was a lot of different metas that just changed with the accumulation of changes to the rest of the game versus stuff to the hero itself. But Necro used to not get HP back for sadist and didn't have a DOT heartstopper aura, instead it just prevented regen and an old ability reduced enemy attack.
But Necro is still really useful these days as the guy you stick mek and greaves on considering he's going to want to stand in the middle of a fight, so it's not like he's a bad support. It's certainly a safer play style than running him like an ambush nuker with E-blade and the like.
Check dotabuff meta win% for >2k https://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/metaI've played about 1900 hours of DOTA 2 mainly unranked all pick and Ability Draft. After watching TI7 I realize that I'm kinda horrible at the game. I've started watching those Purge coaches Day9 videos and it seems to have given me a MUCH better insight to take my game to the next level. I have a drive to actually get a acceptable mmr vs just playing unranked for fun.
I've started playing ranked solo and party with one or two friends who are determined. Our MMR is like 1.6k (lol) but it feels like the games aren't just simple "carry to win, build BKB, etc." I have no issues playing supports or whatever the team requires, but I started moving towards carries to make a big splash in the game. Any basic tips? I last hit like a maniac, farm once the lanes are pushed. Keep a TP on me and check the minimap every 8-10 seconds but I still feel like the enemies carries are always right in front of me or even.
