hey man, I am in the same position as you are. Dota was my first real Moba (was LoLtrash before that for a short time but it was LoL..). I exclusively play ranked now (only play Captains Draft and Captains Mode to avoid retards) and what I noticed is that the only thing you really need is a not feeding mid lane and a won offlane. Most carries in Ranked MM know their shit and most offlaners are pretty terrible. Best heroes to carry to the game from the offlane postion are probably Mirana/Bristleback/Timbersaw/Bounty hunter since you can roam around later after getting some EXP.
Also check your teammates' itembuilds are correct them if necessary (had a gyrocopter in my team who wanted to go scepter/shadowblade so I told him to go BKB/HotD/MKB and he started crushing)
Hope I helped you a bit :=)
so tbh no point in starting over? im a pretty good offlaner, guess that might be helpful in fact. i often try to give my teammates advice on their builds but most of the time you'll just get called retarded and earthshaker with midas will stand firmly by his choice
for real tho: are ppl in the cm/cd pool really less retarded ? ;) picking for others sounds tempting, I gotta admit I just go for AP to have a higher range of heroes to impact the game
I just had a tidehunter that built dps on himself and took aegis from a 500 damage lc because ofc he is better than me. and went in 1v5 ulted died 2 times called us noobs and afkd in base and fed couriers. long story short threw the game
DO NOT PLAY AP IN RANKED
DotA was my first and only moba aswell, but I started in doto1, anyways, if you care a lot about your stats, make a new account, otherwise work hard and fix your stats slowly.
CiasteK, find 4 friends and stack. Solo rating is shit. It's a team game. Even at 5k rating there are retarded (good players, but retarded) people.
i thnk solo q is a very relaxing experience, what really bothers me tho is getting 4 stacks in my team. i throw the game as soon as they start blaming me for sth, pretty funny stuff.
Don`t make smurf acc not worth it just play. If you are good you ll get yours real mmr in few weeks
that CM advice was really helpful I suppose. so far so good, 4-0 and ppl actually seem to understand the game a lot better than at AP, thx a lot
I never played AP in ranked but since all these "professional" players spamming broken heroes like Ember/Earthspirit or Brood in all games seem pretty terrific to me, I decided to go for an actual competetive mode. Btw, is doesnt rly become a lot harder up until 4.3k MMR. Im stacking with ppl from that MMR a lot and never really had problems with those enemies. Just continue to bring your best and you will be there at some point.
Another advice to climb up in the MMR is to stop playing after 2 losses. You will just become overly aggressive and want to force the win badly and will just feed in the end. Take a shower, go for a walk and continue after that.

Hey.
Dota2 was the first MOBA I've ever played and for that purpose I've only used this account. Of course it took me a fair share of time to learn the game and at first I was disastrous thus my exceptional 49% win rate. Since then, which is around a year back or so I can honestly I've improved vastly and while I'm far from stating that I'm insanely good or shit I can say I'm pretty much decent and I've played with a lot of ppl at 4,5-5k who would agree. So right now I'm sitting at around 3.5k mmr or so and the thing is I can't really move on from there (mostly talking about solo queue, when I'm in a decent stack there's no prob) because of the people I get paired with. No matter if I support them, carry them, sometimes it's just like some upper power wants me to stay here forever and perish. I know that there will be people that will say that I'm the reason but more often than not actually no.
The question here is: do u think I should go for a new smurf account, get a fresh start and see where I'm actually at after getting lvl 13 and after 10 placement games? Kinda scares me that I'll have to play like 150-200 games just to get there and have some struggles with 5 carry teams (ok I'd supp that so lets say 4) n shit.
