I've been playing Dota for a long time now so I was quite glad that ranked MM came about.
I won 4/5 of the first 5 placements for solo MM but I ended up getting matchmade with teammates that sucked so bad and lost the next 4/5 (ish).
Now, when I "blame" them, I'm not doing so just because I think I'm the only one who played perfectly and they didn't. My problem with the pubs I was matchmade with was that they did things like picking carry at the last minute when everyone has already picked their heroes, picking mid heroes when someone has already called for mid and so forth.
Then there's this one game where someone dc-ed early game and the message was that it was safe to leave and no matchmaking stats would be recorded, so I left (since he was in my team). Then it ended up counting as a loss!
So I was given a rank of 3.1k in solo and I tried to work my way up since it was my hols and lo and behold... more terrible teammates. Terrible to the point where they wouldn't even reply friendly suggestions of chats and just play their own game etc.
I usually play position 4 or 5 and with friends of 4-4.5k mmr I still can fair quite decently as a hard support. But I realize that however good your support is, when you have teammates who pick like 3 carries and ALL of them buy midas when the enemy team is playing some quick push strat, you can't really do much to win the game.
So what role should I master in order to climb the mm since I've been getting really bad teammates lately? Should I just leave the carrying to myself and first pick carry all the time? Need suggestions pls!

QUOTE(xHj09 @ Feb 9 2014, 06:01 PM) instead of blaming, why not teach them what to do? go support and initiate all the time. lead them to push, smoke in kill and take down tower. find good timing for roshan, take and throw aegis for tower. move as 5. at your rating solo, opponent hardly knows what to do if you guys move as 5. That's my philosophy at first, but the problem is not that they are newbies that are eager to learn but that they're just arrogant kids who will tell you to stfu because "don't tell me what to do" (Even though I do so in a gentle manner) or they are pinoys who can't speak english and don't even want to try. I won a few games as DP solo mid when my allies pushed with me, but when I played DP and my allies insisted on farming all day I lost even though I won (got firtblood and good farm) the midlane. |

QUOTE(andreaschan @ Feb 13 2014, 03:57 PM) First of all when you talk about public game solo it is hard but not impossible to climb up all by yourself . Personally although I not all mmr pursuer but if you want mmr so hard here is what I think you can do . 1.) Get yourself used to a few carry heroes especially ganker that you know well and just stick to that . Because we all know carry normally is the one determine the game from mid to late game . 2.) Take in charge of mid and gank or own them game asap . 3.) Give command like a commander or advice team mate when problem comes ( if you can use mic is better but dont abuse it . but get ready to get scolded stfu because not many people will listen to you or have the same vision as you ) 4.) End the game asap when owning because to avoid late game hero own back or pusher . 5.) Try to counter pick enemy hero . The reason I dont want to pursue is because I dont wanna die of rage . Some people logic / play style and argument is simply "awesome"  . So I might as well just take it easy and maintain my mmr better . thanks for the advice mate. Currently on a 6 match win streak with invoker for solo mmr. So far so good... |
