Well, I'm having some troubles with my MMR and would like to see if any of you have a solution. I've been playing with the same account since 2012 when I didn't really know how to play meta and when I ranked a month ago I went into the 2,3k vicious circle and it seems impossible to win matches by myself if I don't have at least a good support/carry. Any suggestions?

Is there any reason why we aren't able to see our buddies quest paths? I want to see if I'm the best dota2 roleplayer.

Can we please stop having such posts in d2g, a bunch of fucking peasants trying to find quick solutions to their defecate state of being and inability to think as men would.

>>143356448
be the good support/carry yourself
spam OP 1v9 heroes like slark
>>143357386
Thanks. The main thing is that I always played support and finding the best carry choices is pretty hard since I don't know which are the best picking every situation.
>>143357964
also just play a bunch of different heroes in unranked
doesnt matter which ones just play them like 10 times in a row
you learn something new from playing every hero
like if a hero has no escape you learn good positioning
or you learn how to initiate
or how to splitpush
or how to play mid
or which heroes counter other heroes
etc
why are mvp so shit online, ping issues?

Valve is doing it on purpose. Dota 2 has already returned way more money than they ever would have thought, counting all the tournaments and cosmetics and Secret Shop Dota has probably pulled in over a quarter billion dollars altogether.
It's too big forthem now. Millions of difirent players a month means the consant need for maintence and updates. Valve is genuienly offended at the thought of improving anything even if they get paid for it, so they just don't. They let the game stagnate for months and months and months because they just don't care and it's too big to maintain. Eventually we'll get 1 major update a year or less, then nothing at all.
The money has been made, Valve is a company, that is all that matters to them.
>>143364293
yeah. you are absolutely right.

why are you doturds playing the alive gaem, overwatch, right now?
it's pretty much 9.9/10 from all the reviews
I am totally not a bli$$ shill btw
is there anything to this behavior score stuff?
Yasp estimates my MMR at 3800, I have just under 800 hours played in unranked and all my games on dotabuff are HS/VHS.
I-is this good?

I miss talking to you, d2g.
what is the most cancerous kind of people ingame and why is it legion jungle
>>143371075
probably lifestealer jungle, pudge and mirana roamers
I have barely played this game but I had a lot of fun playing Rubick a few times and felt like reinstalling and playing some more.
I don't really trust those internet guides so I'd like to ask here: Which items should I build? I remember getting that tornado wand and aghanims first but I was following guides. I see that Magic Wand item pretty often in those guides too but it seems like it becomes useless incredibly fast.
>>143372691
Lots pf wards
Wand Mana Boots Bracer Blink
Everything else is situational
>>143373038
Mhm, alright.
Is it generally better to only build items that give intelligence or should I also build defensive items that don't give intelligence at all when I get blown up all the time? So something like Mekansm or Pipe of Insight.
And when is the right situation for the whirlwind wand?
>>143373671
>or should I also build defensive items that don't give intelligence at all when I get blown up all the time? So something like Mekansm or Pipe of Insight.
Yes, support (except for like, 3 of them) blow up almost instantly in fights, so getting items that make you not explode in .5 seconds is generally a good idea
>>143373671
Bracer is your defensive item. That's all you can afford since you will be not farming. Blink Dagger is for not dying and positioning. Your job in teamfights is waiting paitiently on the backlines to steal a big enemy ult. If you die in the start of the teamfight, that's bad positioning and no defensive item can fix that.
>>143374092
>>143374175
Aha, thanks.
So I guess that means solo mid Rubick is not something that people do anymore? Or ever did?
>Reddit crying over config.exe
Christ I fucking hate faggots. I didn't even know this shit existed? What's the big deal?
If you don't want to play Dota properly fuck off.
>Not my blog
>>143374301
They did years ago, but he got changed, so not viable anymore
>>143374442
Okay. One last question, since I will be playing support. Where do I put the wards when the game is still in the early phase? River? Enemy jungle?
>>143374609
That's tricky, better google a guide
>>143374724
Okay. Thanks for all the help.
>>143374421
