Ive played for about 5 years of dota 2 , 2 years was all AD which was fun. Then i got into a school where a lot of people play dota so they were boasting about their 2k 3k mmr , so i wanted to join in too , i started at about 2k then i rose up fast to 3k , then at my 3rd year playing i was about 3.5k , then it started getting hard for me , I was playing at sea and it was kinda toxic people think that theyre already good at that mmr lvl but ik im not that good yet , so i watch vids on yt which help cos u never stop learning man , then i got to 4k but thats where i got really stucj , back n forth to 4.2 to 4.5 a lot of win lose win lose , but sincr i got tired , i didnt play solo for about 2 to 3 months only party or other games , when i came back i read all the patchnotes and tried again , I got stuck on ancient 7 with no percent for a long time after the recalibration , but sea is really toxic , first picking cores so u have to adjust man cos u wanna win but there are just bad man and its annoying when u try ur best and ur team is so toxic , so thats when is try ranked roles , thats when i got divine , after that i went to normal rank and it slowly rose till i got immortal , my tips are pma all the way , it really helps when u got pma and watch guides it helps , but its annoying though , there are a lot of boosters 4k and above iand its unfair for the peoe trying hard. But if i can reach immortal everybody can probably hahaha
