The funny thing about that is battlerite/blc is really just about the only game I can think of that should actually be called a moba.

There also needs to be some system that lets you get stronger over time otherwise you'll also need to start labeling UT or Quake as MOBAs.

Yeah sorry, I guess it wasn't clear but I meant to say that MOBA as a name for a genre is so freaking generic to be useless. Action RTS is at least slightly better.
I agree. The MOBA label is as useful as Action-Adventure or 4X at this point.
I personally prefer team-based multiplayer aRPG.

My MMR is now down to 1100.
I think I'm still getting better at this game, but maybe the problem is that you get matched with worse team mates the lower your MMR goes?
I was at 2k once

You are probably getting worse. Maybe not adapting to the patch or not playing the game frequently enough. 900 MMR loss can't possibly explained by coincidence.

God damn, you're getting tilted..play unranked for a while.
Also pick sven and learn to farm efficiently, you can solo carry tards if you farm fast. past 15 min mark avoid farming the jungle if there a lanes that can be pushed (they net you more gold than the jungle). Sven is so fucking good at learning basic farming mechanics, you'll learn farm timings just by stacking ancients, which you can then use in pulling the hard camp at 53, even if you dont deny the wave you are stick stacking for sven.
Woe betide any retard trying to contest that stack when you have gods strength and cleave.
Im still learning to farm efficiently but this has been my most farmed to date, notice I fuck up a fair few initiations, but its ok(for now) because the enemy doesnt want farm just fight. But in the match Im stacking as much as I can and fight when they come to me. Im also pushing their towers whilst they are doing their standard 2k mid dance like retards. The morphlings flames early on for my cyka push, then commends me late game as i dumpstered them at the last rosh.
my early game in that match was still shit tho CS LUL, that and my support was a fucking mongoloid who hardly harassed. but whatevs, baby steps at a time i guess.

Playing Path of Exile entirely killed my mechanics in Dota. I played two games on Sunday and sucked like it was 2013. I couldn't get used to walking on right click at all, damn. Wonder how Draskyl does it.
Oh well, I guess I peaked some time ago anyway.

If you're dropping you either aren't improving or you're so toxic that you're dragging your teammates down and making them play worse.
Here's a good read on improving
Can personally vouch for the advice laid out in that post. When I first started playing Dota I approached the game very studiously and analytically. I exercised a 30-70 split in-between studying/research and practial application (playing matches) and placed at 2.9k at 400ish games. Stopped doing what I did and messed around/played in stacks for fun/took half a year long breaks and never saw improvement. It wasn't until this year that I got back into it like the days of old that (after dropping) when from 2.7 to 3.5 in about 2 months. If you just play, you won't get better.

That's what YouTube is for fam. I don't like the 10 minute highlight reels of a pro pub stomping but watching the full vods and how they play around counters or how to handle playing from behind can be pretty eye opening.

Yeah I have to learn to farm more efficiently. Started with PA and then Luna, after that I only played support for a long time, basically WD only. Then switched to carry, and it went downhill from there on.
I saw LC for a split second coming up the ramp from rosh into the raidant jungle, cleared the creep wave below the small camp, juked into the trees and TPd out just in time.

Apparently lumi is casting some of these smh :gun:
- 2 games simultaneous
- Bo3 GSL's
- casted by BTS
LGD.fy(xiao8 stack) vs MVP.P
Secret vs Newbee
OG vs IG.V
EG vs VG
Any idea how I could've won done better in this game? I'm playing the PA. In terms of item progression I suppose I ahould've gotten the Manta sooner because Drow's silence did hurt me a few times. I did have 2 avoidable deaths so I''m not completely blameless but if only Clinkz decided to hit the exposed ancient instead of the bloody top tower...

Pa is actually a hard carry to learn as you need snowball to succeed, she falls off once mkbs are built.
Pick someone with an escape like jugg slark andy mage. Svens escape is kind of shitty compared to the others but he can man up earlier. You can recover better with these guys.
yeah, don't think stunlock liked that funcom wanted more f2p elements in the game
they have more control over the game now

I was kinda complacent then to be honest, didn't need it up to that point so I thought BKB would be a step backwards when I could have better pushing potential. In hindsight that may have been better because frost arrows/silence did kill me twice towards the end there.
Impressed by my last hitting there though. Didn't even have a Battle Fury!

oh. I just remembered scan exists. I should use it more often.
Ppd is going to be casting with grandgrant so the choice is obvious
