even if you pick a pos4 that's not a super strong pusher, you can get a meteor hammer and push pretty well with it

Feel free to pick any of those tbh




I do fully except that I'm garbage at Dota and would accept any criticism of how bad I am

There's definitely things I need to improve on like rotating for runes early in the game and setting up more smoke ganks but tbh half the time when I buy smoke even if I ping I've got it. Where to group for smoke and use it the people I've smoked just go back to farming/laning

the key to dota nirvana is not caring how bad you are

trust the mmr algo to keep your long term win rate around 50% and just enjoy playing game

Oh I don't really care how bad I am, I'm fully embraced to that. It's more just frustration at feeling recent losses are not my fault

i mean if you actually want to improve as 4 just watch cr1t and saksa play and do what they do, especially saksa. they play as greedy 4s who play around their team but don't sac themselves. especially saksa

i think it's important to pick a 4 that can farm a bit down here in the scrub ranks because there is always a completely free lane that your cores will ignore and being able to show on the map for 1 sec and get a full wave of gold and maybe even get the enemy to rotate is an easier and more consistent strategy than relying on kills. instead of sky i'd rather play lina/tiny/techies/sometimes zeus (and maybe hoodwink? idk i'm not good at her) since they can all do burst kills like sky but don't rely solely on racking up kills

It was more just for my own morbid curiosity of what a game of double digit MMR dota looks like tbh. I don't play ranked so I don't know what my MMR even is (but DotaBuff says my All Pick Unranked matches are anywhere from low Archon to low Legend.)

None of my friends play this game anymore and solo matchmaking is consistently serving up miserable games these days, I'm starting to lose steam for Dota after playing it for over a decade. :smith: I don't feel like I really belong in an IHL because I'm not trying to train for competitive play, I just want games where all ten players have some idea of what they're doing and would like to try winning this match.

I've seen people say Mageslayer is really good, a Break to disable his Shard and I guess just any anti-heal tech for the Bloodstone but I really haven't found a way to beat it in my pubs :sigh:
Like if they're an actual Razor player and not just picking the FOTM then it's real hard.

She's no longer the bullshit lane dominator that she was, but once that BKB & Basher comes online she still instantly deletes supports, and I mainly play 4 & 5.

Also just the anime is dumb and bad, the hero concept is extremely boring, and the sound of her ulti gives me PTSD. I just irrationally hate everything about her.
