Ok so i dont know what im doing wrong.
i have played this game since 2012 and im getting to play with worse people every day.
9/10 matches i play support, is it impossible to get to play good games as a support?
do i have to practice and play carry/mid just to get to a rating where i can play support? its so stupid.
also how can there be such a difference in intellect and skill around 2.5-3.5k mmr?
some matches are fun because you don't get complete idiots in your or their team, that happens 1 match of 10, and its a 50-50 win or lose.
in the 9 other matches you either get completely rekt or you completely reck them.
is forced 50 a real thing? im starting to think that way considering that if i win three times in a row im more likely to get 2-3 retards in my next match. i once had a winning streak of 14 because i only predicted after 2-3 lost matches in a row.
tl;dr:
Is going mid or carry the only way to get out of 2-3k?
How to git gud?
Is forced 50 real?

HIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DEMONIC ARCHIVIIIIST THIS SHIT
>>121214593
honestly I feel like 2k-3k is the zone where the hell exists
4k-8k people play roles well enough that doing well in a lane for a teammate wins the game
beneath 2k people are bad enough that literally anyone can just snowball out and no one will buy BKB or wards and it'll be a smooth cruise
2k and 3k is literally hell

Added a guy that smurfed and only played Nyx Assassin mid back when I was on my first year of dota, and re-added him after he switched back to his main account. Turns out he's a typical 4k flamer who feeds intentionally while calling his team noobs for some minor issue and gets LP for feeding/raging.

not saying it does, just saying that i have observed some patterns. might as well be a broken client giving retards to high rating so they have to lose 100 matches in a row to get to their own rating
Does it make me a cancerous person if I spammed Necro offlane to get to 4k?

I'd venture to guess that in 90% of games where the average mmr is below 4k, all of the players are missing a critical piece of game knowledge. Someone that has a good understanding of the game can dominate the laning phase and every team fight in those games.

Really now
What are you going to do when someone comes to your lane, right clicks enemy creeps, misses last his and actively tries to keep you from getting them, soaks XP, then feeds two kills.
If you pick a hard carry, you will be against an aggressive duo lane like slardar/swm while your support will nuke lane creeps and die.
If you pick support you will crush your lane by your carry won't get a single last hit.
If you go mid, someone will fight you for it and feed in the event they don't get it.
If you go offlane, someone will join you to sap XP and push the lane and feed the enemy carry.
How do you escape that

It was an old, very very bad item on her that's been "recommended" for ages, but recently IceFrog actually changed the way the hero works just to force synergy between them. She is now immortal with the item and now enemies take a very high proportion of the damage compared to what she actually has to take herself.

I'm not saying that you wouldn't succeed in creating some havoc and forcing the carry away from some lasthits, but no way you're just gonna dive a tower 2 min in just becase you have living armor and leech seed

WASD camera control keys

Default with as many mouse buttons bound to items as you can, and carefully controlling which of those are placed in the correct slots. And obviously unified unit orders and some non-edge means of panning the camera, with edge-panning still enabled.
Unless you're playing Invoker, then Legacy is just easier flat out.

Don't know why it's been kept, but before it was due to limits on what you could do with custom audio (in WCIII it was imported as a rip of the Butcher line from Diablo I).
It's actually actually possible work around it in WCIII modding but I'm not sure if you could at the time Pudge was made. It became a beloved thing anyway so it's too late now.
