General DiscussionCan Any Former 3k Players Who Climbed Out 3k Help Me?

Just pick heros you're good at and you'll climb, don't troll pick 2 hc, 2 mid laners, jg etc that's all

Im calibrated at 3.9 but i dont remember if its 3.9 or 3.8 then almost dropped to 3.7. I start playing offlane a lot like DS, Necrophos and Underlord sometime roaming riki or bh. What hero i pick is not the hero i want to play but pick the hero based on enemy line up and what my team need in order to win. But i dont pick supp and mid hero because i really suck on supp and mid. And now im 4k my highest peak is 4.2.

My party mmr is very low. I lost a lot of game in party.

just support your carrys and eventually you will win mmr until you get 4k

spam alche mid. 3k don't know how to deal with it

spam timber and make triplesteal proud kappa

you have to be more efficent with your movements across the map. The best way to learn this is by watching a progame replay of the hero you want to learn. Dont focus on the big plays just on the overall movements, farming patterns etc.

You had a game with am with 277cs after 39mins. thats terrible farming efficency. If you have freefarm you should aim for at least 350-400 cs after 30mins. Just an example. But not being efficent is a very common mistake at lower ranks.
Gl climbing!

to make it short..

what i learn that made me out of that bracket is..

at 2k : efficient farming
at 3k : comeback mechanics (gold n xp) n defence or break highground
at 4k : Zoning/draft/map control
and others small stuff..

hope it helps..
GL in your ranked sir..

I learned Invoker first (calibrated @2600 a year ago), then I started playing in a rat style, was suck for a while around 3500-3800. Then I became a filthy Omnipicker. Soared till 4400 in a couple of days actually. Started to play CM and draft (I learned a lot from my teammates who are all 6k+). I instapicked captain and won every single game (back then it was different - you can't do this anymore). CM was also good for me cause I finally got matched with people of a higher level and I could also learn in solo pubs. Playing in 4800-5300 avg when you are 4400 means a lot. I stopped playing CM when I hit the 5k barrier and turned to the offlane. You should pick meta - but even better: anti-meta heroes here. Raped the OD-Invo meta with a Nyxyynxnxyxnyn and then I peaked at 5370. After I had a personal crisis and I lost 700 mmr in 2 weeks. I stopped playing pub ever since, only scrims now. (BTW: Your computer specs can enhance your gameplay by a great deal. More often than not -> Better comp = higher mmr /w the same person)

I'm low 4k so you can add me and I can help you, because I was in a 3k MMR for a very long time. 3.3-3.7k first, then 3.7 - 3.9.

EDIT: To sum up in short on how to gain mmr > HIT. THE. FCKN. BUILDINGS. (Trust me it works in any bracket)

spam meta heroes

@Spam or Die

If you ever had questions how to stay in 3k, i got 4 years of experience in this bracket :D just ask.

some off topic question :
my frd that started play dota with me since dota , hv the same mmr ard ard 4k with me before my losing streak , recently said he calibrated a smurf at 4.8k mmr ... is that possible? i dont feel like suddenly he improve alot ... or maybe smthg to abuse that idk ...

i started at 10k, so idk

jk, just try your best and git_gud

it's pointless to ask questions on this forum, you'll never find a good answer.

@cookie then i hv no idea why this forum exist .. kappa

Its made for retarded delusional plebs who are too dumb to realise that they are noob,and they create 999999 smurfs until they reach VHS
Inb4 counter arguments = I made this account to play with my noob cousin or play with my friends if my main acc is used for CSGO

Why are you using my profile avatar? -.-

lmaoooo i thought yorkey changed name

my lowly advice but i think that your problem is actually in your mindset

dude its 20 mins into the game how do you know you lose already

youve been playing a long time your mechanical skill perhaps already sharp, game sense should come instinctually after playing for 2 years

but why do you choose to looking at the bad side lmao unless someone is really dogshit and skill is 1k mmr below the whole teams'. you need a dose of PMA bro

basically you tilt too easy

well, what i can say is, my party 4,5, solo 3,9

since i play sup (because only few want to play sup in 3k) yeah, its so hard for me to climb out from 3k to 4k in solo.

the worst part is, the carry guy don even know how to keep the lane equilibrium, and blame sup for his own fault.

so i never expecting so much in my solo game. SEA so cancerous

I recommend getting out of 3k playing cores mostly.

1) I strongly recommend good teamfight heros that punish bad positioning greatly, what is common in 3k.
So Enigma, Magnus. If u are losing enemies usually go all 5 together, rarely they spread.

2) Putting high pressure on enemy safe lane - eg. dual lane with Lich, Timbersaw, Underlord. - works on every bracket. U basicaly make enemy carry cry for help and tilt. U also make space for your carry at the same time. Crucial is not feeding in the process.

3) If u are facing enemies with 1 support its worth playing invis hero like nyx or riki - they wont have much detection against u. Pretty much support will tilt.

you're gonna get fucked at when you reach 3.8-3.9 mmr, games will be either retarded or super tryhard

This is from your own page; http://www.dotabuff.com/players/1362745/heroes?date=all&lobby_type=ranked_matchmaking&metric=played

Just take a look at the heroes that make you lose more than win and stop playing them, pretty much u should stop playing AM, slark, Storm, SF, and many others.. and focus more on easy heroes like sven or juggy.
btw I have climbed from 1,3 to 5,3 in 2'5 years. You could also add me and I can give some other tips looking at some of ur games.
