If you only have 2.8k MMR don't feel bad. You're probably just a working professional and don't have time for kids games. You heard it here first, friends.

200 MMR is the fluctuation range. This one guy I know plays a shitload and he is +200/-200 constantly.

Luigi Thirty posted:What the gently caress I don't know how but we got totally dumpstered this game and I really don't know how it happened. I mean I was killing things and everything like I'm supposed to. I'm pretty sure that I lost this game for us (as usual) by trying to actually gank as Viper while the enemy Storm stayed mid and farmed an Orchid in like 14 minutes and they steamrolled us. I can't even play Viper, the easiest mid in the game, right what the gently caress. You lost to a sandking with a radiance.

I have certainly not seen anything that bad around 4k mmr. What do you think of that feature? Just kinda entertaining to see i guess Ahahaha what the gently caress? Is this how it usually is when a 6k+ player solo queues? You can't even get a game that has all 4.5k+? drat that is bad.

TheQat posted:this has to be a joke Oddly enough, people are so bad at this game then Arcanes bounty actually sees a nice bump in winrate. Same applies to Jugg/Sven/Chaos Knight etc. In the average pub, the dipshits that play these heros constantly run oom and never go back to heal. Arcanes help alleviate that problem.

KyloWinter posted:The average game at what MMR though? I see him perform very well in most of my games. Below 3.2k MMR (like 80% of all games are played here), he has a 43% winrate. You don't really get much worse than that. At 4.1k MMR (top 2%), he has a 48% winrate, which is decidedly mediocre.

Android Blues posted:Often good heroes have low winrates! See: Wisp, Tinker, and Lone Druid. Just because someone is ranked 4.1k MMR and picks a difficult hero doesn't necessarily mean they know how to play them effectively, or when it's appropriate to pick them. I didn't say every 4.1k player will be able to play them well. I said on average, they will perform significantly better than lower MMR players. People at the average MMR simply don't have the mechanics to play Ember at all and thus, he's complete dumpster tier for most levels of play. The numbers don't lie. Elman posted:Do we have updated MMR data now or are you just estimating? I'm going off phantasmal's numbers. The old system was estimated at 3.5% in Very High, and Valve's site says 4.1k MMR is the 99th percentile. Not exact, but close enough.

I'd say Dota is hard, but in a completely different way than an RTS. In Starcraft, you can be the stupidest chimp in the world, but if you have the muscle memory to click buttons fast, you can easily be Diamond/Masters by simply "making more dudes than the other guy". In Dota, mechanics are basically a non-existent requirement to move up unless you exclusively play solo mid as Storm/Qop (heros that really need to win their lanes). It's all about decision-making. Also, people develop really loving weird mentalities in this game. Supports think it's ok to feed because they're supports, hard carries are obsessed with fighting when they shouldn't be, etc etc. People are also incredibly short sighted and don't really see the point of TPs until you get to 4k+ (and even then it's not great).

kalstrams posted:Not to start or prolong "What is more difficult?", but when was the last time you have got into high masters and what is your race? I haven't played SC2 in forever, but when I quit, it was pretty well agreed on that you could be diamond/low masters just by making dudes. No one plays SC2 now so I suppose it's a little harder, but the point still stands.

For Terrorblade go Drum/Manta/Skadi and then from there you can get whatever and still probably win. Butterfly/Satanic/BKB and you're completely unkillable. Swap out Satanic/BKB for DPS items if you don't need them. You could get a Radiance too, but it's pretty dumb imo because you're effectively neutering your early game potential by doing it.

You build a Skadi on Slark because he needs the HP. Badly. If slark lives with any amount of HP, he regens to full instantly, so making sure you don't get nuked down is a priority. The longer you live in a protracted fight, the more stats you steal, the more damage you ultimately do. It's pretty simple. Also, it lets you stick to people while you're ulted, which is nice. That being said, rushing it is terrible. Running around with an ultimate orb for 20 minutes is not a game-winning move. Eejit posted:It's useful but TB can't afford it most of the time. There are just like a bazillion items he'd rather have and few of them are cheap. No, Skadi is way better than whatever other items you are talking about. In addition to everything I already said, the HP Skadi gives you lets you get your Sunders off before getting nuked down. Not to mention it makes your illusions way better.

kalstrams posted:What is counter to Ember Spirit in pub? Ember Spirit is trash in pubs FYI unless you're literally Arteezy. I'm only slightly exaggerating. He has like a 43% winrate in the average game of dota. Turns out, going brown boots-->battlefury while feeding with your 1 base armor doesn't win games. He's always annoying, but he's never actually a problem. Certainly nothing compared to heros like lycan. If you really want to destroy an Ember, just pick Clinkz (if you can play him) and be done with it.

kalstrams posted:We lost because no one went with me two kill two barracks without a tower - CK alone was not able, without Rapiers, to kill our whole team alone, at that point, and it would take everyone else on their team to hold off megacreeps on two lanes.

You lost because your entire team (especially you) were loving terrible feeding morons. 89 last hits on Doom in an hour??? Were you jacking off in the fountain for 60 minutes or something?

People complain about their poo poo team all the time in this thread, but it's mostly just people being bad at dota and not being able to recognize their own badness.

He could have built 6 soul boosters and achieved the same results.

The worst mindset people have in regards to supports is that they're "supposed" to die a lot. If you're 1/13/12 at the end of the game, it means you're bad as a support. In pro games, supports don't voraciously feed when they're losing, and neither should you.

That is a pitiful amount of damage for a Veno when the game is that long. This is exactly what I'm talking about, actually. You fed like a motherfucker and did a low amount of damage (for a veno). They also only had 1 BKB and no pipe, so it's not like your damage was being mitigated.
