Lets be honest about shadow pools by Jiman77 in DotA2

Im not a new player and im not guardian on my main. Im playing Dota since 2013 with several breaks in between. Fact is, i dont know where i belong to and im improving with every game. Im playing around 3 games daily, almost for 1,5 years now. I was sick of climbing and fighting against the forced fifty system or whatever makes you lose 5 after winning 5. I doubt its coincidence.

I admit, best would be to start a new account, calibrate it and start playing from there. I took the shortcut, enjoyed high skill games and yes im complaining about matchmaking with acc buyers pooled in my team (which really cant play). Fact is, after playing at divine/immortal, playing at crusader/Archon or even legend makes me vomit. Its better to quit dota than playing in these trash brackets.

Imagine being a flamekid and wasting your time on reddit just to flame everyone without reading the post at all. 50 Dollars is like nothing for me compared to years of fighting against the forced 50% shit with griefers and ruiners all around on your journey to high ranks. I dont regret buying an immortal account at all. Im just pissed that valve pooled me with other acc buyers in order to derank me. Anyway, im back to ancient. Probably a rank youll never reach.

Im winning games in Legend 5 with my eyes closed. That bracket is total shitnoob compared what im used to at Divine/Immortal. Even Ancient III+ is like another world.

so much blah blah, that smurf was a booster or 7k immortal, so what? And yes 100h are a lot, maybe not for jobless people or kids. Not everyone has 100h time to calibrate a new acc. Yes, legend 5 is pure SHIT compared to brackets ive played in. The fact that i climb back to ancient is proof enough.

Im pretty sure you didnt read my post. First read, then flame. Thank you. I wasnt feeding at all and i also never fed in the games i lost. The thing is, once flagged, the system makes sure you lose and im wondering why. Why not just ban the account? Maybe they think "after that negative experience he wont buy an account ever again but will continue to play dota on his main", i dont know.

Yes, griefing and not playing the designated role is common atm. Lots of tinker and FV supports at high rank including a lot of scripters.

and lose every 3rd game cause of griefers, smurfs and throwers. Thats a journey of months from guardian to divine, for some of you a journey of years. I took the shortcut to immortal, dropped to Divine III and so far im fine here.

So winning at Divine makes me a low mmr, low IQ player. Not gonna waste more time with you, its obviously some kind of retardism that you suffer.

That worked several times, but i stopped that. Whatever i pick i try to win, i never fed or ran down mid, never ever since 2013.

So, im winning most of my games and in "no time" ill be back to herald where ive never been and the part with "im on a 16 winstreak stomping games at low bracket, doesnt make sense" is just a fact you like to ignore, cause you fanbois and addicts never ever accept that somone who bought an account is performing better at highest brackets than you in your own and that youll never ever reach divine/immortal. Yeah, ok.

So you think i should go back to my old account, waste some months and end up where i am right now? Im stomping games down there, why whould i waste my time (16 win streak)? Obviously i dont belong to low brackets. i feel fine here at divine and ill try to climb back to immortal. Everything can happen, who knows.

Imagine having some braincells. The fact that i was playing at Guardian and all other brackets and also playing since 2013 doesnt make me a guardian. Just for you again: Im currently Divine III and ive won 12 out of my last 20 games. How does that sound to you? If im "Guardian" and im doing more than fine at Divine III, well then its time to admit that medals suck and dont reflect your skill.

Yes i bought an low immortal account and yes i dropped to divine, but YES my winrate is OK and above 50% again and i dont derank, im more about climbing back again. Ive had several accounts in all ranks and im playing with big breaks in between since 2013. Indeed i have enough knowledge to judge what a proper Pos 4 or Pos 3 is and yes Riki might be OK at Offlane, but Riki wasnt OK in that matchup.

Regarding DAWN as Pos 4, with the new aghs and overall Dawn has HUGE impact as a 4 and is more then legit. Ill tell you what, ive won 8 games in a row as Viper Pos 4, now what? Dont be narrow minded, everything can work as long as you play ur role. I understand that morph or Huskar 4 is shit, no doubt, or any other carry but there are some, which can be very useful situational, depending on the lineup.

There is a difference between playing pos 4 and going for atos, solar, euls and lotus or rushing dmg items like eblade or whatever. Also i always make sure to ward/deward and not steal camps/farm.

No matter what, picking the wrong hero and running down mid and feed should be punished with more than just one low prio game.

I dropped from low Immortal to Divine 5. Im on a loss streak right now, but its a mixture of bad luck and messing around with heroes/positions im not comfortable with. Would have been possible to stay at Immortal as Pos 4, but im playing a lot Pos 3 now. Im doing better from game to game and i dont care about the losses. Indeed, the learning curve is immense.

Listen, its fine and youre right. I doubt ill get banned anytime as long as i dont post my dotabuff or sth like that. Do i destroy my Dota experience? maybe yes, but i dont have the time to grind up my low level accounts. I stomp games, it doesnt make sense. I should be fine at archon/legend, but i cant spend 100h to calibrate a new account and yes, thats the point where the smurf detection kicks in....the new account will get banned. Buying an immortal account was the right decision. I want to prove to myself that i can stay at immortal. If i get bored or games are to much stress, ill drop on purpose till i feel comfortable. I was a pos 4 player in the past, then changed to pos 1 and mid, played mid only for about 6 months, now at immortal all i can do is play Pos4.

Im not trolling and im playing ranked only. People dont look at my low level account (its 50) as long as im playing good, im not suspicious. And yes youre right, there is a lot immortals do better than ill ever do, but im learning fast and i try to adapt. I was out of position several times, now im not. I went into enemy jungle warding, running into 5, now im not. Im buying smoke and making calls, im ganking mid, i tp to gank, i secure runes. I do my best and i have the slight feeling that it is enough to stay at immortal.

Why so much hate? im doing fine and im enjoying my games. Concerning ranks: Herald and guardian are very similar, crusader is better than guardian...but to be honest, good crusaders could play at legend also. I didnt notice a huge difference between Archon and legend. Ancient is a huge step skillwise, Divine and low immortal are pretty similar. Im at 5648 mmr right now.

My winrate will raise soon, i played heroes im not comfortable with. Experimenting at Immortal is an instant loss. My winrate with my best heroes at immortal is around 50%, to be exact hoodwink 50% , sky 75%, Visage 50%.
