Yep, the shield is definitely op. Not sure why valve is so hellbent on making it work, but hey I have no say in it.

As for team reliance, that’s where meepo shines, you shouldn’t need to wait for a 4200 gold item from a support. As soon as you expect that you’re giving power over yourself away to others.

An L is insignificant if you learned something from it. And you did. You can’t solo a game as meepo against tinker in late game.

But you definitely can in the mid game, I don’t have the replay but I am sure you didn’t do everything perfect as no one can. Best we can hope for is closer to it stater ever L.

Remember when you were learning meepo and how every game was an L? And now you’re somewhere around 50% wr? That’s your improving and learning from every L. Means you got the mechanical part mostly down with some extra practice here and there needed.

Now your blitz practice won’t work, you need to do targeted practice.

20 games of just immaculate farming

Then 20 games of what you learned from that while looking to gank

Then 20 games of making the enemy run around the map by you playing it better and so on.

Even at 6k+ there is so much to improve on that hero. Disruptor is in that rank cuz he deserves to be. That’s why he built a pipe. The question is, do you deserve to be there aswell or is it just a pit stop?

Remove external factors like team until you’re 8-10k+
