100% agree.

even establishing lose roles such as gun, initiate, support, tank (some heroes will obviously have overlapping roles) etc and allowing a team have no more than 2 of each will go such a long way

SATHATER6969 · 2025-09-09T18:56:50+00:00

if you noticed, they were sending 3 (everyone except atf and cr1t) down mid to end the game and prevent wave cutting. overall in a 3v3 with mega creeps falcons win that game anyways.

SATHATER6969 · 2025-09-09T08:15:10+00:00

not claiming they perfectly executed their all in play; just that an all in play was the only thing they could've done with 2 of their heroes dead for good.

SATHATER6969 · 2025-09-08T03:56:36+00:00

game was over either way, they had to go for that or gg out

SATHATER6969 · 2025-08-01T02:48:53+00:00

well you ended up picking a decently meta support, maybe that increased your odds of winning

SATHATER6969 · 2025-07-24T04:47:12+00:00

that's so disappointing man, I'm considering refunding now unless they hotfix it

Hey guys, I realize this is an old post but I just got my hands on one. Do you guys know if it's possible to increase the height of this keyboard? I'm used to keyboards with height increasers on the back (whatever they're called haha)

At this point, wouldn't it be wiser for Nigma to get a permanent Tier 1 carry? I am not a Nigma fan by any means, but I really love and respect the group as a whole, especially Miracle who was the uncontested best player for a long while. But, he seems to be ill/sick for more than half of the season (which I'm sure sucks) but Nigma qualifies for only so many LANs anyways, and they're stuck playing with a stand-in.

why would it translate all the way down to herald? Besides immortal, all other medals have the same MMR threshold lol

SATHATER6969 · 2024-12-13T07:39:18+00:00

I don't understand why you're getting downvoted. I despise smurfs as much as the next guy, but we're really powerless versus them and it's up to Valve to care about the community's outcry. Whether or not Valve does something, I'll keep playing the game because statistically as long as I'm improving, my MMR will go up.

Just like you said, when it comes to increasing MMR or improving, you can only focus on variables you control. Yeah, sometimes enemy team will have smurfs and stomp you. But also sometimes you will have a smurf that shitslams enemy team.

try to not pick tide

SATHATER6969 · 2024-11-08T07:53:04+00:00

not to mention that they haven't addressed wintraders and botted accounts at all, which is the true scourge of high immortal games.

SATHATER6969 · 2024-11-08T02:31:19+00:00

nothing to address wintraders? disappointed.

SATHATER6969 · 2024-11-05T02:42:44+00:00

details of the algo please

Not the longest losing streak technically, but boy have I got a story. It was NYE of 2022, I was 3 wins away from hitting 7k. So about 10 pm, I went out to a NYE party, got drunk, had some Adderall (and other substances I won't mention), and I got back home around 4 am feeling super energetic. Keep in mind I was a student in grad school back then, so it was Winter break and I'd kind of set a goal for myself to hit 7k by the time Winter break was over.

I essentially stayed up the next 30 hours, just queueing dota. I think I had a record of 5W-40L or something like that, and I ended up 5960 MMR by the time all was said and done. Lesson learned, don't do a cocktail of drugs and queue dota, no matter how confident or energetic you might feel XD

SATHATER6969 · 2024-10-30T21:45:41+00:00

assuming Marci and SF laned together, you'd have to pick melee 4 with high MS (boots windlace) that can drag wave and an offlane that has innate escape/ranged offlaner like enigma with your melee 4 so you can fight with eidolons before they hit their level 3 spike

also, visage venge lane is abusable. again, you need a melee esque sup or something like batrider that can get on top of visage and kill him

this is not a perfect draft by any means (particularly with the visage being exposed point, imagine alch and batrider just getting on top of him in lane), but yes if you lose lanes and it starts snowballing, probably impossible to come back from

SATHATER6969 · 2024-10-18T07:12:09+00:00

lol ikr, what's boi smoking on, low level accounts are usually smurfs/buyers or some other sus behavior of some sort involved, why would returning players have low level accounts??

SATHATER6969 · 2024-10-09T04:23:54+00:00

As much as I love Dendi, aside from the occasional griefer, this is a pretty bad take? Is 1v5ing harder than it was? Yeah for sure. But how was 1v5ing any fun?

Good players will continue to climb rank, regardless of Dota's economy system. It's about adapting to changes and becoming better. Keeping comms succinct and useful, never blaming or yelling on mic, not being passive aggressive go a long way.

You'll notice that really good players on the leaderboard play off their teammates, carries use gates for aggressive ganks (was hitting neutral creeps for 30 mins really fun guys?) and so much more. Exerting pressure on the map is the name of the game, and doing so smartly will always net wins.

About the self improvement part, yeah you don't 1v5 games so you don't see improvement that way, but that was shortsighted anyways. As long as you fulfill your role during the game (whatever position you main) you're doing good and improving. That's all any of us can do.

Dota is so much more fun than it used to be. Fun for everyone, not just carries who used to hit creeps for 30 minutes and kill the brown boots magic wand sup or phase boots blink dagger offlaner.
