True Dota 2 - How to do deal with the randomness of the 3k bracket?


How to do deal with the randomness of the 3k bracket?

Posted: 17 Feb 2018 01:26 PM PST

When i first came back to dota, i was having a very good time. I climbed 300 mmr, and have been stuck there ever since (about 2 weeks now). Now im 3.1-3.2 and i cant seem to get more than 2 games in a row where my team is decent. I gained 300 mmr and the match quality has gone way down. Every other game its 2 people fighting for mid in the picking phase, one claiming to abandon if he doesnt get his precious role, and as soon as the other guy gets pushed out of mid, he selects carry for the bottom lane, and theres already a guy there, and then they start bickering.

I mean im trying my best. I'm a pos 3/4 player, but every game it seems like the enemy has 2 godly supports that actually know how to deny space from the lanes and we have a pos 5 that is just sapping xp and a jungler. I just dont get these players in this bracket. It's as if none of them want to win mmr. They only care about big farming items and big numbers and never want to push or take space given to them.

for example: 3736264871. This game i dominated the entire top lane as timber. The enemy team even had a jungler. But our Void literally got every item possible that would accelerate his farm: Midas>BF>Mjoll>Nullifier (which makes no sense if they are inside chrono btw). Every time there were 4 people top trying to kill me, i would get 1 or 2, and there would be no one bottom at all, and our void would be farming away in the jungle. We lost pretty convincingly after 30 minutes

This kind of shit happens all the time. Sniper playing mid, not getting shrapnel and maxing Headshot. It's as if every time I queue for ranked i roll a a dice and theres on 1/6 chance that ill get a decent team that actually wants to play together.

I took a 2 month break because i got aggravated by Dota so much. I'm on the brink of taking another one. I honestly feel as if theres nothing I can do. When you charge at an enemy as sb and the hero you are charging is on your side of the river, and your mid player just doesnt react at all, i just want to fucking scream. When im playing pos 3, and they have 2 supports in safelane completely denying me from all farm, even the off jungle, and our safelane tri is literally losing to an omniknight, i cannot express.

I honestly feel like every game my teammates are fucking me over more than the enemies are

Questions about earth spirit in regard to Jerax' build

Posted: 17 Feb 2018 11:46 AM PST

Hello there, first post. I'm hearing this is were u go if u actually want to learn and don't wanne be memed down. Besides i've seen my fair share of earth flairs around this and the main subreddit - so for this particular question i hope i found the right place.

So in this game: match id: 3739369960 between Kingdra and OG Jerax skipped his lvl 10 talent for a 4 1 4 1 build - 3 players took talent at lvl 11 in this game - so it couldn't be a mistake? When and why do u do this?

Main question, when and why would u wan't to max silence before roll? What would have been the reasoning in this game and also what should be thinking about in general when deciding whether to max roll or grab?

Is it the value of a lvl 4 silence or that he is not the main initiator, rather backup for carries, i.e. doesn't need the roll as much? And how should this be implemented into my pubs?

Help me to choose support pool (3-4 heroes) to main (3500 MMR)

Posted: 17 Feb 2018 06:05 AM PST

Hey kind folks of reddit! So I've been playing Dota for about 6 monts (calibrated on 1800 and slowly climbed to 3500), mainly by playing supps. I do play offlaners occasionally (like underlord or nyx) but right now I am trying to decide which supports to main.

I feel like I can handle every support on at least decent level. The only exceptions are Chen and Oracle, although I don't mind picking him to combo my huskar/timbersaw. I am just trying to find 3-4 supports that can have a decent impact starting from the end of laning stage of the game (20th min+) My first thoughts were to simply check the winrate of supps. Both omniknight and CM have a good winrate of 54%. Plus they are kinda fun to play as so I am thinking about them. Share your thoughts, guys!

Does armlet work on Tiny now?

Posted: 17 Feb 2018 09:02 AM PST

So before, Aghanims was his first go to rush item since it gave Tiny his splash damage. (after drums usually)

Now that he got his new Tree Grab(splash/farming ability), will armlet make sense to purchase on him?

Maybe Drums + Armlet build?

I feel like with the attack speed and the +55 damage will accelerate his farming speed and strengthen his team fight abilities. Also, if wisp is in the draft, he can negate any HP drain effects. Any thoughts?

How long did LP last again?

Posted: 17 Feb 2018 02:55 PM PST

Hey guys, Im an average 3k support player who had to leave games due to real life situations.

They happend so fast and it was involving some relative..

Anyways I'll get to the point, I got 5 LP games and its been like atleast two or three weeks since I played.

Before there used to be this time limit which was a penalty, If you didnt finish the LP game the game would let you play after that amount of time In normal priority.

Now I had my "share" of LP games, I'd even pay to get out of it.(However I know how much that'd make the salty raging 2 minute GG yelling griefers day)

How long does this last? The LP penalty?

Confused about what Position 4 is/does exactly

Posted: 16 Feb 2018 10:04 PM PST

Hello,
I'm confused about how the position 4 role is played. I get the basic definition of it - its the support that farms a bit more than 5. But I'm unclear on how they work exactly. I've seen pos 4 players in trilanes, as roamers, and as supports in dual offlane.

How does one decide where to go with position 4? Roaming is fairly straightforward; you go for ganks, grab bounties, and generally try to make stuff happen around the map in the early game. But whats the benefit of a trilane compared to supporting the offlane? If I pick a hero like Beastmaster for pos 4, for example, should I not be soaking exp with the pos 3 in the offlane?

Whenever I have to pick a position 4 in ranked, I try to stick to BH and go offlane. I stay in lane (trying to harass/deny) until the 2 minute mark, which is when i try to go for runes and start roaming. I mostly do this because I don't know what else to do with Pos 4, and its limiting the heroes I can play. Is how I play a roamer wrong? When would I choose a hero for a trilane instead? And When is an offlane support appropiate for that matter? And by offlane support I mean, say, a Treant or Dazzle that stays with the offlaner.

Is dark willow a good support?

Posted: 17 Feb 2018 02:59 AM PST

I wanted to know if dark willow is a great support. I have seen pro players picking it up in solo rank. I want to know if that hero is good enough to be played as a support.
