No surprise, i already expect MVP to surpass SEA teams long time ago.

So this is low priority. 10/10 would "abandon" again.

Last week i randomed pugna. Get called selfish by teammates because i random. 0-3 in the first 10 mins because i was lagging. Teammates kept calling me noob, so i abandoned the game. Serves them right.

I got sent to low priority because of that, lol.

(1)
Ok. As if i know the game was going to lag. I had to play against 6k offlaner as safelane carry.

(2)
I peaked at 5.8k solo mmr playing random only. That game was my 120th straight game playing random in solo mmr. You know why they call me selfish, because 99% of dota players only rely on textbook. They label anything outside of their knowledge as wrong.

I remember when i spammed pa mid long time ago, my teammates called me noob, retard. A month later RTZ happened, suddenly PA mid is legit. Then whenever i go WR mid, i get called names by my teammates before the game even started. Why? because they never saw people do that shit. Now WR mid is common. Last week i decided to stop playing random and spammed lycan mid. MY teammates went crazy, "you 4k?", "wtf lycan mid", "omg noob".'



When it comes to adapting to current meta, Mid/low 5k players are 2 months late, 4k players are 4 months late. Slow as f***.

(3)
Flamers are the one who spoiled the game. The thing is nobody want to lose in dota. From each teammates according to their ability.

I wish i could, but its not that simple. Even my teammates don't see the true power of lycan. That screenshot was intended for my carry player btw. I told him to spam TB and Lycan in solo mmr, but he refused to do so. Sayang mmr punya pasal. If i have to teach him everything, i might as well just recruit a 4k mmr carry player. I fulfilled my obligation as team captain(drafter) by playing 120 straight solo mmr game since we formed the team, but my players can't even spam a single hero. That's why i had enough, and spammed lycan just so that i can show him the result.

You can get a mentor to teach you, you can watch a lot of replays, but its not just the same as your own experience. Throw away conventional wisdom, and try out new stuff yourself.

Ok simple tips:

-Lycan is not rat hero. You go 5man. These days if i see a rat lycan, memang nak mintak penyepak, menyedihkan.
-At level 7, + medallion, you'll overpower every single mid hero in dota except meepo.
-Before 7 use your wolf to farm, if your teammates ask you to control rune with wolf, show them this " _|_ ".
-When you sense teamfight on other lanes, "JERIT". That 2nd skill = free first blood.
-When attempting early rosh, try to bring your carry with you and let him take the aegies.
-On dire you can take it anytime you want, on radiant i prefer after their mid and offlane tier 1 down.
-Oh btw, skip boot. If you want to kill -> ulti. Boot too mainstream. Medallion + Vlad first.
-Book 3 item wajib before you can take t2 tower. Manta for AM, Radiance for Naga, Aghs for meepo, you get what i mean.
-Some people don't know this, but always open your book before you ulti. Don't ask me why, you do that first and you'll understand why.

The rest are your decision making and your experience.

BTW lets just keep this thing here, don't share this shit. You don't want Lycan to be the new juggernaut.

If i draft Jakiro, 90% of the time he will go offlane. I don't like Jakiro as support.

BTW another lycan tips that i don't see people do,
If you die in a teamfight before you can use your ulti. Buyback -> ulti and you'll arrive at your destination in literally 5 second. By the time you arrive, you can clean that shit up. Kinda like ember spirit remnant.

Being carry is not about farming and last hit. Its not about getting your items at X mins mark. If you want to see good carry, see how he plays with 6 slots. Some people argue that MMR is useless. Let me tell you whats more useless than your mmr, your KDA, GPM and XPM.

I don't play party, even with my teammates. Either we scrim together or practice in solo mmr. Why solo mmr, because solo mmr makes you strong. Imagine a carry that can handle pressure when abandoned by his supports, a carry that can find a space to farm when there's no space to farm, imagine a carry that can read opponent movement without wards, imagine a carry that can anticipate opponent game plan based on current situation. That's the quality that a 6k carry has, and imagine he has 2 competent supports in cm match/scrim , his effectiveness will increase tenfold.

I suggest you start focusing on core role before getting into support. Support is 10 times more complicated compared to core roles in lower bracket. Core roles are more straightforward, support roles are more subtle. That's why you need to be decent at core roles before you start transitioning into support. Being support is more than just buying wards. Your map awareness, anticipation, positioning and mechanics need to be in sync with your carry. You need to understand how your carry thinks, you need to understand how his hero works before you can support him.

Best supports in the world are usually great core players. Kuroky, Zai, Fy. Even most PW players agree that Fy is one of the scariest core player in perfect world solo rmm.

Set your goal to learn, not to win. Get out of your comfort zone, start playing mechanically demanding heroes like storm spirit, invoker, meepo if you're still not used to it. You will fail so hard at first, but the reward you get later is so worth it. Ignore your teammates, you owe them nothing. Better, just mute them all. If they lose its not your fault, its their incompetence.

People think they know much more than they do, even my support partner didn't know the correct positioning when i'm pulling. I had to make this to explain how to position himself.

If only these people who always blame others see what i see, they wouldn't even dare blame their teammates anymore because they would be so ashamed at their own ignorance and incompetence.

Edit:

This is how our team communicate. Only 360p for now, youtube still processing. We plan on releasing more videos like this in the future. Only team matchmaking against lesser opponent, we wont upload scrim videos against tier 2 teams.

That's the correct mindset if you want to improve. Trust me most 6k players felt the same way. If they think they're good enough they won't achieve that 6k. The better you get the more you realize that you're lacking. Once you think you're good enough, you will grow complacent and stop improving. You will always find excuses to shift the blame to others instead of focusing and looking at your own mistakes.

Edit:

I think talent and effort alone is not enough to be the best. You need luck and connection too. For me, my luck came 3 years ago when i met Jon, now captain of Insidious Idol, in pub game. I added and talked to him. Later he always invite me to play party with his friends. I learned a lot from him, but what impressed me the most was his attitude. I remember when we were 0-10 down, he calmly said "relax, its fine". That was the first time i met someone like that after years playing dota, from my g-arena days until dota 2.

Had i not met him, i'll be like your average assholes in sea server. Blame others all day in pub and never improve. Just like in life, the people you meet will shape who you are. If i ever achieve success in dota in the future, i owe it to him.

I don't play party but you can add me. Tell me who you are or just say you're from lowyat in my steam profile page. Any forumers who want to add me can do the same. I need to keep my friends list clean. Too many friend request after solo rmm game.

Now that i think about it, i can make more pictures like that to explain support roles.

For that purpose, I need a larger version of this. Google has failed me, or maybe i'm just too lazy.

powet

My steam

Btw i forgot that i set the comments on my profile to friends only, changed it to public already.

Ok, i've accepted a few friend request from LYN forumes. If if haven't accepted your friend request, make sure you post comment on my profile page.

I have another inspirational story to share.

2 weeks ago i met Jed in solo ranked matchmaking. Actually i've known jed before he was even a 6k player. Back then he was not famous yet, i added him and gave him free meepo set so that he would keep me in his friendlist. I got to watch and study him play, worth more than any tickets that I've ever bought from volvo store .

We were losing that game so badly, finally he told me "Kaizer, give up we lost already.". So we go chill in the nearby trees. No we didn't give up too fast. When a 7k told you the game is already lost, the game is already fking lost.

Then, i don't remember the exact words, but he said something like this to me.

"Kaizer, i don't know if its my fault we lost or the teammates."

I was like wtf?! Can you imagine a 7k, 16 years old, Pinoy player said something like that. Such is the mindset of a great player.

How can a 7k player still considering whether its his fault or not when the game was lost. Even when the odds were so against his favor. Sometimes he had to play against 3 player close to 6k while being matched up with low 5k or 4k teammates.

Now think back, are we even half as good as him? Do we even get matched with players with much lower MMR than us? How many times do we have to blame our teammates before we realize we're not good enough.

TBH, i'm guilty of trashtalking opponent too. Usually i trashtalk them because i don't like that particular player(mutelist) or they trashtalk us first. Once you get high enough in the mmr bracket, you'll see the same face frequently. Everyone knows who's who, including their attitude.

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1173589993

This game for example, i get called "Jug abuser" by opponent offlaner. He can't stop whining about balance although he died because of his mistakes + underestimating me. People who complained about how certain hero is OP should try that hero first. Cakap OP senang la, try main tengok. It's the player not the hero. TBH, jug is not as broken as lycan imo.

See my jug match history, how am i a Jug abuser?


Btw, for those who added me, if you watch my game or replay, feel free to ask me questions. Copying another player build is not enough, you need to understand his thought process. Anything you want to ask just ask, don't be shy k.

My favorite hero back in g-arena days:

Bloodseeker, Riki, Balanar, Bounty Hunter. Kill more important than win.

Seriously if you're a beginner play whatever you enjoy. Its just a game, try to have fun first.

This is why i always defended my teammates when they get blamed. This is why you always respect your teammates. I would defend a feeder against flamers as long as its not intentional feeding.

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1176212790

20 mins into the game, we were 20k gold down, all t1 and t2 towers were down, and our rax were being sieged. Our team blamed enigma from the beginning, but i took enigma's side. Defended him against these blaming fckers. In the end we won because enigma carried us all.

If you guys watch my game and see me telling my opponent to end the game, it's because i couldn't stop the infighting among my teammates. Why bother trying. Most of the time i lost solo rmm game not because we were outplayed, but because my teammates can't stop yelling at each other.

My team disbanded already. Mid player, asrama, SPM this year. Offlaner went to Who2bet.

I apologize for being an *******.

Salah ke kalau inform dekat community. People like them do not deserve our support.

"the way u act lately, doesnt show that u are better than him bro."

What does this means? I posted in this forum frequently because i wanted to give something to the community. Well if i'm not welcomed, i can stop posting stuff in this forum.

"its just a game. what happen in game, settle in game."

IKR.

~min~funnyTONEam3rr

Yeah sorry, that was my bad, i was being childish.

Patent

Last time i practiced meepo was 3 months ago. Tbh, i don't know what item is the best for current meta. Current pub meta is jug, in the hand of a decent player, jug forces objective gaming. The best counter to meepo is objective gaming When 5 players stick together, meepo loses his effectiveness in pub.

People stick too much these days for meepo to be effective(at least in my bracket). To counter the right-click power of jug, ppl started picking troll in pubs. You see troll frequently these days, and troll somehow counters meepo. Back then(3 months ago) i have no problem playing against ember+es counterpick, because they were always out of position.

My past knowledge on meepo is obsolete. My advice is to try out yourself. See for yourself, what item suits you the most. Don't spam meepo and do the same item build everygame.

Edit:

This is unrelated to meepo. I mentioned that jug forces objective gaming, but i forgot to mention why. Basically most heroes that can take early rosh are strong in pub(lycan/juggernaut). Getting early rosh for me is worth the same as getting a teamwipe. Aside from double life and exp, the holder of the aegies gets to rally his teammates. Thats the true power of aegies in my opinion. Once you hold your aegies, there a high chance that your teammates will follow your call. Objective gaming in pubs = free mmr.

~min~

Yeah that can work too. lol.

Western ingenuity.

Seriously, anyone who want to learn about draft or new stuff, go watch and learn from top western team.

Lycan OP. jk

If im not mistaken, Fear said something like this; If you have someone in your team that can play a hero close to its full potential(respect ban status), you can still win even if you get outdrafted. His lycan is so good not because he's arteezy, his lycan is good because he put so much effort into it.

Back when i had a team i told my players to do the same. Focus on 1 hero in solo rmm, i gave them a list of heroes to practice as assignment, but they don't take me seriously. Even if they practiced, they did it on party or unranked and they stopped after playing it for 5 or 6 times. Most players think if they play long enough they will somehow improve automatically. Well they are wrong, if they want to reach 6k mmr they have to pay the price, if they want to beat Invasion/Arrow they have to pay the price. Nothing is free.

At first i thought maybe i was too harsh, my demand was too unreasonable. At times, i felt I was asking them to do the impossible. So after i disbanded my team, i tried it myself. Focus on 1 hero every 3 or 4 days.

6.2k mmr account, first pick storm spirit.
http://www.dotabuff.com/players/91932800

5.8k mmr account, first pick qop, invoker, troll.
http://www.dotabuff.com/players/124199835

Right now, I'm so convinced now that i was right. Maybe having to disband my team was a blessing in disguise. That's why i'm in no rush to find a team right now. I'll just wait for my support partner to reach 6k. Once he reach 6k i can reform my team within a week, with a full 6k roster. 6k support duo is no joke.
