            anyone want to tell me why 3k players seem to think that clinkz sucks ass
            Well they probably dont know that but hes countered by basically all meta carries rn

            casual gamer

              can we mod arin’s little dotabuff icon to say he’s been 4k for over three years please

              bearcat0611

                Yeah thats true. seems like he'd be decent against dp and thats about it of the meta heroes.

                  Why does weekend games always seems to be skewed against me
                  I don't recall having over 50% winrate on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for the past few month unless I party

                  I retain the MMR back on weekdays but still

                    Clinkz is not countered by meta carries besides terrorbladr

                                most people swap a lane when they're fragile ranged heroes and knowing they're fighting brood,usually let the offlane take the mid or trilane the safelane at the mid then you go dual offlane/solo safelane/dual safelane

                                      mb i should lastpick mid brood every game

                                      because that's what makes you good at dota, amirite?
                                      why was i so blind and stuck on learning various heroes and improving with 0 impact on my mmr when i can lastpick brood and become a dota god overnight

                                        well unless you practice 1v1 1000 times(since you wan mid),picking op/niche/gimmick heroes are a sure way to get mmr lol

                                        for me getting good will do later,i have like 1700 unranked games anyway with my friends
                                        almost all my frens are like div 5 or smth,i dun wanna fall behind

                                        i'm literally 100% okay with playing dirty

                                              I don't even know why I still bother supporting. Help our safelane void get a bunch of kills, then once he gets aegis he abandons team to let us die to solo and push high ground tower alone while our whole team is dead, feed and wastes aegis. Then he keeps feeding by trying to solo kill jugg despite the fact that everybody is telling him he has an aeon disk.

                                                  So tired of seeing divine 2s and 3s in my 0 matches going dumb shit like mid omniknight and just ruining games.

                                                    i'm not, and i find the hero very boring
                                                    those were the main reasons why i didn't pick her, ever - as you can guess, i like playing the traditional mids

                                                    but i don't think that i'd need more than 5 games to use that hero in 4k bracket

                                                    not arin

                                                      visage feels like a hit or miss, if enemy picks killable heroes then i go for him, otherwise he won't do anything because his 5 man potential with solar and dominator will go unused since everyone in 4k is too busy with hitting creeps and dying

                                                          blame midlaner and supports if things don't go your way

                                                            visage is legit,i've got trashed by a visage offlane fnatic.dj or something on a party match. well i got ended in 31 mins so i guess you can say that 5 man thingy is true

                                                            i hate traditional mids for some reason,i hate invokers face,sf voice,qop's aesthetics,alche's gameplay,tinker? my fingers will die

                                                            i started picking puck before since i felt like she's op,voice and body is like wtheck too

                                                            od is no fun,unless you go full megumin explosion build

                                                            medusa is okay,i hate her gameplay tho but she feels like real good stuff,just stack a camp and after your mana is small skill 2 it full mana again

                                                            ta and lina are the stuff that i love,i suck alot at ta tho,nid to watch those replays and practice like 10 days again maybe
                                                            lina and ta looks pretty gud if you give them sets

                                                                                  doesn't matter, i'm obviously a bad player and i've reached my peak

                                                                                  in order to reach divine ranking, i am required to carry 4 feeders against lastpick broods/huskars while hardly ever getting lastpick mid or even getting to mid in first place
                                                                                  seems like that is impossible for me so there's no point in trying to deny the obvious, who cares that i can play in top 1k divine stacks with solid impact, it's not nearly enough to win low 4k games ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                                                                              Because you are enabling people who you already know are probably compentent to carry you. In pubs there is no guarantee that your cores will always carry you even if you enable them well.

                                                                                              If you want to win in pubs and not coordinated 5-stack games then you need to take full control of the game. Alternatively you can just pick a hero that will do just that for you.

                                                                                              ie: I am on an 11 win streak with LD because in pubs https://i.imgur.com/4LWhbLs.png (and thanks to dominator) the hero has the ability to control almost every aspect of the game. This includes but is not limited to being able to: push and take towers by yourself, fight and be able to kill enemy heroes 1 v 2+, communicate, NOT tilt tbh.

                                                                                              You get the point.
