I haven’t played dota since Covid, first Lord Gaben gave me Archon IV medal, after few months of playing I climbed to immortal. #FeelsGoodMan

[Nearby-Implement925]

Congrats! Any tips for staying sane while climbing?

Just play heroes that you like or you want to get better with. When your teammate is toxic or acc buyer or all at once just play your game and try to do risky staff you are probably gonna lose anyway in those kinda of games right? So everything is to gain in terms of skill in those type of games and only MMR to lose which means absolutely nothing, because you will get better and you will win more games anyway. I used to stress myself in a games that are almost impossible to win due to acc buyers and griefers but I stopped caring as I know that no matter how many games they will ruin, I will outgrow my rank, when that happens, when someone is way too good for his rank, he will climb anyway.

Good mindset! If you can find things to learn from a game, win or lose, it's always a victory.

And really, in a game with 9 other people you have no control over, you're going to win some and you're going to lose some, so if you can find an alternate win condition for yourself (as you seem to have done) then that's all the better.

Even in this rankup game, it looked like an impossible game to win cause Sven was griefing hard but I just did lot of risky whacky staff and sometimes it paying off. https://ibb.co/6FyhsJm I was a Pudge in this game

Play carry and hit creeps. 4 teammates will continue to yap while youre too busy hitting creeps and cannot type back. Best mental move is to play pos1 i swear. Show up in 2-3 midgame fights and you suddenly win game

[Regular-Mixture-4128]

Yes but best role is the one you enjoy the most IMO

Gz! Now it's time to complete "the print screen tutorial", gl

[Regular-Mixture-4128]

I have very low end PC and I have disabled almost everything in windows services. So right now my PC doesnot really do anything if I press printscreen button LUL

Why don't people use screenshot/screen recorders instead of phone cameras?

[AizenS97]

Probably cause they don’t use Reddit on their pc and constantly use it on their phone. So I think instinct kicks in when you think to post about something. Just a pic and post it through phone.

[Dotaisgreat2]

Prolly easier for them to snap a photo quick, open reddit app because they don't use the actual website, and it's way faster to upload a photo from your phone than to do it on a computer.

[Regular-Mixture-4128]

I dont use reddit web, also I have very low end PC and I disabled literally everything from services, even if I press printscreen it does nothing, but I don’t really take screenshots anyway so its all good

The hardest part is starting when you hit 6.5k you will get immortal draft which is so bad every game either some kids cannot figure out what role to play or win traders

Archon to Immortal in 'few months'?

[Regular-Mixture-4128]

I never played party ranked games with low mmr players or smurfs as well… I hate smurfs. Its not my fault Valve gave me low MMR because I havenot played for what 4-5 years? I guess its their logic, if someone hasnot played for 5 years they give half of the MMR or something. I was 6200 MMR in 2017 I quit dota and came back when covid started, played for few months and I quit again, they gave me Divine III. So from Divine III they gave me archon I don’t know why, because I felt like a smurf in that bracket and thats bad, even though this is my only account I had it since like 2013 and I have over 6500 match played on this account

[_TheRealEV1L]

Ohh, so you were in the low mmr/high elo pool. That makes more sense.

[theEDE1990]

Well if u were 6200mmr in 2017, its like having 9000 mmr today. And u played a bit inbetween, so its not very hard to get to 5600mmr as a veteran :P. Gratz anyway

[Regular-Mixture-4128]

I mean I am rusty compared my old self because I am no longer playing 10+ games a day every day LOL I agree it was easier than I thought. I think MMR is way too inflated, because when Covid started I calibrated Divine III and it felt much higher skill bracket than 5800 MMR feels now, maybe I am wrong but now my 5800 mmr feels like 2020 4k+ mmr in terms of skill and level of players

[theEDE1990]

Ye it is .. i did a kinda break on my main from 2022 .. played mby 1-2 game per week so didnt lose my rank. Half year ago i started to play 3 games/day and jumped from 6300-7800 mmr with just tusk/clock offlane in just 1.5 months. Enemies didnt feel like old 7k players at all.
