For the 3k anon from last thread.
Lean the timings.
Learn what your hero can and cannot do.
If you aren't playing a core, rotate early and make them tp or kill their cores.
If you need wards buy them for yourself.
Get more efficient with your farming speed, stack whenever you get the chance, take towers if your lane opponent goes missing.
Learn when to buy what item.
Use the trees to the side lines while pushing.
Use constructive pings to direct your team.

Here you go mongoloids, for future reference you'll get the idea of how to build a position 2 CARRY Abaddon:
Start off with a ring of protection, two branches, some tangoes and a mana potion.
Your CARRY Abaddon is going to be a position 2 or even 3. You're never going to be a position 1, dude. Keep that in mind.
Build that basi ring next, get that fuckin' magic wand and some phase boots. Take that basi ring and turn it into a Vlads, and rush a fuckin' S&Y.
After this it depends how the game goes,you can just go a fuckin' basher and run to people and bash their fucking face if you're ballin' outta control and expect to finish early, or you can go Skadi into a AC.
If this goes really late, finish that fuckin' abyssal and after your skadi / heart + AC you can go MKB for the damage.
Max the shield first, 2 points into the passive, max the heal, finish the passive. Always max the ultimate whenever the chance.
If your team is fuckin' kuso ass shit, as they usually are, sometimes it's actually naice to build a aghanism instead of a skadi or heart and go for a AC after, because with the aghanism you can actually stop those shitters from dying.
Can someone explain to me why alliance has so many fans? They where only good for like 6-8 months, navi was good for like 3 years.
is it literally just bulldog?

Don't do what that anon said. I'm the original poster.
Picking greedy supports is going to fuck you over so hard this meta.
If you really want to climb MMR you can spam broken heroes.
I got to 5k by spamming OD last patch.
You can basically do the same with Slark this patch if you can do the shit I said in my original post.

There is really no way to fix this. Other sports have the luxury of having long seasons and filling stadiums for only a single game in prime time but for esports you need the stadium for entire weeks and no one is going to go watch game during weekdays and during workhours.
