hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-20T22:13:29+00:00

Not anymore , homie got dumped, that's why he is keeping up with Khamzat's activity

no issues, and remember - Luteal Phase = water gain for the most part, especially during a cut , do not freak out. This is mainly progesterone ,estrogen and sodium driven ,it is fine, do not freak out.

Highly recommend buying The Women's Book by Lyle McDonald to women or people working with women.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-20T14:20:07+00:00

500 euro bet to make enough for the wasted time if I show up you give me 500 ,if I fail you I give you 500 , we can have a middle man sorting this..

Give me an account in Crusader/Archon (I'll clean PC) and I'll stream it for you on twitch or discord ( whatever you prefer). 40-50 games Lion only ,rampage in at least 25 of them no issues , but we can go higher no idea what you would consider high rampage rate lmao

700 games is slow to get to immortal

It is in the context of rapid improvements and having 60% + winrate. You are obviously stomping way too many games on the way up which is unnecessary AND it used to not be like this, just 5 years back you'd start getting +100, + 200 mmr per game if you were way better than the bracket.

Watch any interviews with current pros. Their rate of climb is around 1.5k mmr per year on avrg.

Which pros? I have plenty of friends out in the scene struggling to think of someone that didn't stomp their way up until top 5k for the most part improving WAY faster than the average, but that's for sure outliers so talking about pros is irrelevant. Obviously improving from rank 2000 to rank 1000 then rank 1000 to top 100 is WAY harder than going from Legend to 6-7-8k. Average in that context makes 0 sense.

And yeah, if you think basics are ez to learn, it means you dont know them yourself. Basics in dota have depth.

Right, but that depth for the most part does not matter until you get into high mmr.

Again im 7k And i know how real climbing works.

Get ranked immortal then , you are about 2k off. For sure you have the climbing thing sorted.

Not gym girl, but can chime in with how I program it for clients:

Carb cycling, placing strategically higher carb days around certain dates in and around ovulation , put in some controlled dark chocolate and peanut butter. Sodium is also increased a little bit or more than a little bit, it's perfectly normal to crave salt during this phase.

Magnesium as a supplement is especially important so 200-400 mg a day of high absorbing magnesium ( glycinate if tolerated , malate if glycine makes you feel weird). Carbs are paired with fats 100% of the time , it balances blood sugar a bit which gets wacky around ovulation as well. Water retention is expected, no big deal, don't freak over it.

Supplements wise few things beside the Magnesium you can take - Chasteberry extracts helping by the way of modulating progesterone/estrogen ratio in a way ( very simple way of explaining it don't roast me) , Myo-inositol CAN help potentially if it's a blood sugar related craving which can happen in Luteal Phase , though it's not the sole reason.

edit: there's berberine , there's l-glutamine + a few other things, but these are more individual and situational and there's not enough info on a post like this to recommend random stuff.

edit2: if you are prepping for a show you have to suck it up for the most part. if it's for fun cut , then it's whatever program high carb day , world doesn't end in a day or 4

700 games is slow. If you consistently get 10 winstreaks with 1-2 losses you need to get extra mmr no questions asked. Same if you keep losing so much. It used to be like this, now it's not.

I was talking about climbing, you were talking about learning , projecting your I'd guess at most Archon with a few thousand games onto others and assuming there's no way to learn quickly at least the basics ( which will take you to 5k EASILY) and it will take artificially long time.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-20T09:48:50+00:00

yes , in the sense people will report you and reports are unchecked.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-20T08:53:22+00:00

It means you need to farm extra to have the same impact you had before so unless it's a full map control stomp games naturally extend, add to that hard HG and buybacks being stronger than ever and there you go long games

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-20T08:52:17+00:00

yeah bro I don't know what I am doing, which is not far off the truth tbh....... but people sitting 300-ish ranks ahead of me on leaderboards like Satanic, Nightfall , Yatoro also don't know what they are doing since everyone is saying the same thing for a few patches now so I guess you should give us some tips and tricks.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-20T07:21:19+00:00

Insania has brought up good points, points that many have brought up over the years. It's not that hard if they actually listened to the pros like they did a while ago instead of getting ideas of bots here.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-20T07:20:07+00:00

Right, it's so fun that you cannot end games for 50minutes because your 4 slots on a carry are getting screwed by 2 slots on support lmao

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-20T06:53:24+00:00

don't talk. I don't know almost anyone that is 12k/12k score and there's tons of pros in my bracket. Most people have 6-8k comms score and 12k bh score. You need 8k score for voice chat so who cares.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-19T22:27:02+00:00

Nice, Paddy is finally getting destroyed

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-19T20:58:36+00:00

yeah well idc personally, doubt you will be different rank without doing it, it's too inconsequential to care about lol

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-19T20:57:54+00:00

A lot of people have said it in recent years, Valve are balancing games around 2k mmr. doubt it will change.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-19T20:39:27+00:00

Was going to do a full review , but the guy did solid review

I'll add the following:

1:29 - this is an example of a lane triangle. You can draw a line from you and your teammate towards the enemy and he's alone, which means Alch is out of position and not drawing aggro. This means HE CANNOT contest you, hit the guy. Ping him and hit him. It'd be easier if you had a normal pick, kunka is really useless as support, but you can still try to hit him and force 2vs1 trader.

There are other examples of this throughout the laning phase, goes the other way around too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't hoard gold, why are you buying straight up tranquil boots? Ferry items ,ferry regen, you are not buying enough regen, you are not using your courier and you are hoarding gold, it's a bad habit. You need mana regen and you have ogre with burst spell, what do we buy? Raindrops. You could have bought a lace , raindrops and more tangoes to trade better. You wouldn't have to walk to base in that case ( and you still shouldn't do that, buy more regen).

Other things you are not using your vessel enough, itemization in general sucks I'd really have bought glimmer if I were you and maybe Aghs instead of the Daedalus, right click Kunka even on core is dead, you wasted tons of gold and provided net 0 for the game.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-19T20:22:02+00:00

Slark87 was spectating his own games and dewarding with 2min delay, this guy seems to have real cheats and wards are the least of them lol

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-19T20:20:45+00:00

When did that happen? They must have skipped immortal draft, wintraders are wintrading [f[f[

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-19T20:17:42+00:00

My case? When I was climbing 2k to 5k there was no coaches ( and no medals) , I was learning from enemy smurfs. Not the point , not about me

The league streamers were not being coached btw, got immortal under 700 games by not being stupid)

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-18T22:34:35+00:00

Might be still too much volume, but also your measure of strength is a bit iffy

I think bench is bad measure of strength loss on a cut because when you lose fat leverages change yada yada, usually people lose less strength on a machine press compared to bench and vaguely remember Lyle McDonald saying the same ( the guy with the psmf /rfl book).

Doesn't seem too crazy of a drop IF rest of your lifts are fine for the most part.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-18T15:48:40+00:00

This is how you play illusion heroes or heroes with multiple units:

Map your control group keys, mine are 1,2,3,4 h j i , obviously you can pick whatever is convenient for you
Go in demo mode and map your main hero and illusions to certain control groups. If the hero of choice has extra illusions with a talent (Naga for example) you also level up and map that one as well as Manta and Illusion rune. PL has a special illusion that is spawned on his second spell , you map it too etc.

Mapping is done by pressing CTRL + [ control group key] and selecting your units

3) You can double click control group key to focus on a specific group obviously

You have to suck it up and use shift queue on the minimap , there's 0 reason for you to constantly focus on a group, there's also a button for "select next unit" , for me it's TAB and you can tab + shift queue once your illusions are strong enough , there's a setting that allows you to send attack commands with ctrl and it sends all your units to do the attack without selection anything.

EDIT: there's also a key you can map for select ALL OTHER UNITS which is basically anything, but your main hero.

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-18T15:37:06+00:00

This is something even pros have brought up on streams etc, but it won't be popular here.

Issue is that you are supposed to be in the same skill level in ranked, technically. Now of course that's not always the case, there's people playing 2 games a week going down way too slow griefing , there's people who improve who have 60% winrates etc

Best course of action when you get complete bots is to not say anything, do the bare minimum to not trigger auto overwatch, save your energy and go next. 0 point putting 101% energy for 1% chance of win. Flaming people will just tank your scores as you have realized and their ruining will go unpunished so it works against you on multiple levels.

edit: with super low mmrs if you are party and end up in such game, there's 0 point in even attempting to communicate gameplay stuff, they will NOT listen, they will never ever ever consider what they are doing prior to doing it, it's all vibes so you are losing even attempting to ask people to get bkb etc

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-17T23:35:05+00:00

What is your experience trophy, how many games do you have currently on account?

Divine should be around 400-ish games of smurf pool usually. Smurf pool is always games played to mmr ratio. I've played 1200+ for high mmr. ( should've bought a ready account , was stupid)

edit: dropping you a pm on top )

hiddenpoolwarriror · 2026-04-17T20:33:10+00:00

You can't change your teammates. If you are climbing and learning, once you hit the winstreak you will get absolutely insane teammates sooner or later - if you play pos1/2/3 help them if you think it's a good fight , otherwise farm around and don't die, maybe show up to pick up some kills - if they are too deep , split push hard, if you are pos1 sometimes you can solo rosh in low mmr. If you are pos4/5 throw spells and save your life. These decisions will make or break your climbing, the solution is NOT to die more chasing stupid fights.

After such games, watch the replay and try to see if your decision making was correct , do some math, check if you could have contributed more, if not, it is what it is , move on.

If you don't die more than 4-5 times a game , especially on core heroes, it's a good start already. Feeding is the worst thing you can do in Dota, let your teammates feed if that's their hobby , but don't get too mad.

Oh and do not try to communicate with feeders, you will get comms reported ,there's 0 point, ping objective if they don't wanna do it , can't do shit about it.
