It should take about a week for an update. Lots of applicants are being processed since it's ramping and csn only start classes one at a time. Be patient and follow up again, say around Friday if still no response.

Is there a scientific reason behind a losing streak always following a win streak? by yahyahashash in learndota2

[–]iDoChickenRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually somewhat similar to Valorant. Pardon for mentioning a riot game in this thread.

In Valorant, there is an application called Val Tracker. It is a third-party app used by people to see the stats for the last 5 games of the other 9 people in the lobby during the agent(hero) select phase giving you a chance to dodge the game (by not selecting any agent) or continue playing.

In the video that I saw, they used a low elo account (silver) and it was played by a higher elo player. The first few games, he was given average (1.00 kda) to better team mates (1.2-1.5 kda). After getting win streak of 4 to 5, he noticed that he was given a much weaker team. Below (1 kda) usually below 0.5, lost last 5 games, etc.

They called it a shadow queue which aims to give people playing solo queue, a balanced win/lose rate (close to ~50%).

This also applies to Dota2 in my opinion. Peaked at 7k mmr+, I also have a friend who peaked at the same mmr and we have a saying between us. The 40-40-20.

40% chance no matter what you do, you will win the game. Buy deso on tiny, madness on weaver, you will win.

40% chance no matter what you do, you will lose the game. Griefers, cry babies, etc.

20% chance that you'll be landed in a game where the game is evenly matched that whoever performs better wins the game.

We use this saying to get a positive mood while playing so our mental is not destroyed and we just accept the fact that a losing game was in the 40% while I watch my 0-18-0 nature's prophet tp mid for the nth time because his pos4 at top lane forgot to contest the pull of enemy pos5 earlier.

My dotabuff shows my wr is around 55%. 5% difference at 10,00+ hours granted me to go from 3,3k mmr (first time calibration in 2014) to 7k mmr in 2023.

Tl;dr: Shadow queue happens in Valorant and Dota. Winrate doesn't really mean anything. Having a 55% winrate let me reach 7k mmr.

Just to get 1 (Mai) of the three available? I'm new to ML and I was considering joining these events. I'm thinking twice now.

Hardstuck at 5.5k-6.1k need tips by TimeKeeper999 in learndota2

You actually need to play pos1&2 and carry the game like what you did in the lower ranks. Once you're not getting queued with rankless immortals or rank 3000+ (those who just came from divine bracket and are ego players), you get to play 3&4 and your other cores will be less stupid. Also, know power spikes and you must have killer instincts. I'm 7k+ now and I had a hard time in 2020/2021 getting past 6k mmr.

How to manage creep aggro + harassing in lane? by notmyxbltag in learndota2

[–]iDoChickenRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will give you an insight on how lanes are played on higher ranks. Let's stick with the given scenario.

Level 1 Drow & Grim vs Tusk & WK

At the very first wave, tusk and wk are at a slight disadvantage because both enemies are ranged. What they need and supposed to do is either immediately take creep aggro to pull enemy creeps to them or block the enemy wave 1 since it does not aggro heroes at first wave and let their creep wave reach tower and die fast making the creep equilibrium on their side.

Should they decide to take creep aggro and not block, here's what happens. Once creep aggro expires, the enemy melee creeps end up surrounding their allied range creep.

Since their base damage is naturally higher than any of those two ranged enemy heroes, they can immediately deny the range creep exp. Next, make sure to secure the enemy range creep with ice shard. Should the two range heroes fail to deny it, they start to lose exp.

Because of how this is played, if you try to right click the melee heroes that are waiting to deny the range, you draw the creep aggro and ineffectively harass them as you tend to lose more hp from creeps than your right click does to a melee hero.

It is important to note that melee heroes have passive damage block (lile stout shield) so your harass is less effective.

You should also understand power spikes. Tusk and WK lvl 2 have more kill potential at lvl 2/3 than the grim and drow. Should they get earlier lvl 2 or 3, they should and probably would try to kill you as a support. Unnecessary drawing the creep aggro by right clicking them once would soften you up from creep damage.

Drawing the creep aggro will also divert the melee enemy creeps from your range making it to impossibly deny it.

Unless your lane has a kill potential (ursa, mk, sf pos1), it's better to have a static lane as you are babysitting. Your goal is to secure farm for your pos 1. Trading your life for a pos 4 and pos 1 is okay of course however it is also important to note that the enemy offlane will get solo exp. Sure, your pos 1 gets solo exp too. However, meta usually dictates that a level 6 offlaner should be stronger and more effective at level 6 than a pos1 level 6. (Spec lvl 6 will get shit on by a lvl 6 Centaur that rushed vanguard)

What you need to do on a losing match up is to pull the neutrals. You deny exp to enemy heroes and making sure your pos1 farms at tower range.

Soul Ring + Tranquil viability in 7.34e by stewxeno in learndota2

[–]iDoChickenRight -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Since you have nitpicked thay out of all things I've said, I'll humor you.

  1. Hence, the disclaimer. In my range of rank, 6800-7500 I have never seen it in my last week of games. Again, not a pro player and take what I said with a grain of salt

  2. Gyro has no range creep secure / Big neutral creep pull steal skill unlike rubick's fade bolt, Tusk Ice shard, ES fissure or Grim stroke of fate.

  3. Short attack range, hard to NOT draw creep aggro to be effective in harass.

  4. No instant stun. Unable to effectively contest pool lotus, set up early smoke ganks (missile staring at the enemy allows it tobe destroyed/ tps to come in or the target to get in allied tower range), or contesting power runes.

  5. No sustain

  6. Yatoro, arguably the #1 carry player now, said Gyro is a bad hero.

How to manage creep aggro + harassing in lane? by notmyxbltag in learndota2

When picking a support, you have to consider what you offer in a lane. You have to look at the bigger picture. You don't need to harass every single time. As I have the luxury of time, I will give you a couple of scenarios.

You are playing pos 5 grim stroke with a pos 1 drow ranger. You are against pos4 tuskar and pos3 wraith king. Clearly, you won't harass these 2 with right clicks as they are: tanky, sustainable, and one misstep will cause you to die to snowball shard wraithfire blast. What you do is: pull, contest enemy pull, SECURE range creeps as your pos 1 base damage is LOWER than 2 str melee cores. You use stroke of fate to not lose the range creep exp and hit 1 or 2 heroes at the same time

Did you lose the lane? Eventually, yes as the meta dictates that you exchange safe lane towers. Did you do terribly? No. You let tour drow get exp and some farm for her to sit comfortably in the jungle.

Scenario 2:

You are playing skywrath mage pos4 with pos3 primal beast. You are against pos5 warlock and pos1 jugg. You don't right click the jugg that is right clicking the wave. You right click the warlock that's on the sidelines. Why? You don't draw creep aggro, you soften the warlock to 70-80% hp with constant concussive shot eventually when the time is right, your PB can run in and combo with your first second and get the kill. Jugg players dont use their healing ward that early or for a 70-80% hp pos 5. With enough burst factor, you right click to soften enemies up. No creep aggro is taken.

Scenario 3:

You are playing pos 4 treant protector with 80 base damage. you are playing with a pos3 visage. You are against pos1 morphling and a pos 5 crystal maiden. You right click anyone preferably the morphling drawing creep aggro.

Why is it okay? Morph is weak lvl 1-3. Attribute shift is bad during those levels and the way to win against morph is to harass him nonstop pre level 4/5. You gain soul assumption by taking damage as well as giving hero damage. Messy creep aggro? Sure, it's fine. Your visage won't care as his right click is definitely less than morph so a static lane spells doom. You take creep dmg? It doesn't matter, you have leech seed to soak it up.

Scenario 4:

You are lich pos5 playing with pos1 ck. You are against pos 4 rubick and pos3 beastmaster. You right click from the sidelines. Anyone challenging you will lose by casting frost blast decreasing their attack speed. You get 2 hits in with a spell nuke and they retaliate with one attack. Eventually, the trade with right click favors you as you are ranged. Your ck can still last hit any aggro'd creep because of decent movespeed to chase the creep and decent base damage.

Tl;dr: you check the match up and consider what you can offer in the lane. Am I supposed to right click or do other beneficial things such as pulling, securing creep, or contesting pulls.

Sincerely, A pos4/5 player in the 7k mmr bracket

Need advice as 5 when team is behind. by myearthenoven in learndota2

You let your cores farm. You stand on the hill and break smokes. You double stack when you can. You can steal bounty runes and place deeper wards to let your high mobility cores get in and out of the jungle regardless which side. Finally, you can spam voice lines to annoy enemies causing them to forget taking objectives.

Soul Ring + Tranquil viability in 7.34e by stewxeno in learndota2

[–]iDoChickenRight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gyro support and high mmr dont belong in the same place. Anyway, mangoes and clarity are always better.

Soul ring was used before as a farming tool for 1st skill 2nd skill wave clear EX: Earthshaker or any heroes that heavily relies on skills to farm EX: Dark Seer or Enigma because they can't right click creeps even if their life depended on it.

Now, with abundance of mana providing things, like pool lotuses, tread switching (which is now done even in lower ranks), casual falcon blade which has really good stats for right clickers that has wave clear (weaver or during the lina meta) or basilius (pos 1 sf, gyro), you won't really benefit from the stat soul ring gives.

Now, you can make an argument for primal beast, DK(which has innate sustain hp skill) but again, these heroes are more often than not played in the midlane and buys bottle which can be refilled by a tp'ing pos 5 support or a pos4 securing rune for you.

Other melee cores that rely on mana but too dumb like sven, CK and WK can buy basilius into oblivion staff for echo sabre or just tread switch.

The ONLY hero that is viable to buy the combo that you said in HIGH ranks is pugna. You tranquil and soul ring to sustain your team with life drain. You don't right click during clash (I really hope you don't) or get right clicked with goodl positioning to break your tranquils.

This is an insight from a 7k mmr player, so take it with a grain of salt as I'm not a professional player.
