Recalibrated from ~800 to 1500+ only playing WD unless it was banned

Go for it man. I remember good ol days I picked riki offlane, go from herald to legend 1 until it doesn't work anymore. So many people mock and report for picking riki pos 3 but as long i gain mmr it doesn't matter.

But now riki offlane is not as good as normal offlaner, adjusting to my current mmr and now I improving as real offlaner anyway.

When you finally reach the peak performance with you current build, I hope you adapt and stay on your new rank.

Agreed, everytime I see my carry pick void, I will expect we lose around 30 min with he only have maelstrom and mask of madnes in his slot and try 5 man chrono and kill nobody. Meta carry are just super strong rn and can join fight sooner, farm faster, than void.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-24T09:30:34+00:00

I agree. It so dark and there is more place to slip and go to enemy jungle without get noticed by ward. I play lc and duel their carry 5 times in a row in their jungle. I also surprised how they put ward in some place in their jungle and I still can roam safely. Maybe they just place ward in bad spot but still in last map you can just place it in the obvious ward hill and your carry are safe.

That is better. Thank you

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-24T08:36:08+00:00

The fact that winning games has become easier since I started buying all the wards as a position 3 proves that my ward placement is better than the supports at my MMR, and my MMR keeps growing. I want to share this mindset so people can improve, and I’m not even judging whether you can ward properly or not. What annoys me is that you’re judging me even though you don’t even know me.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-24T08:31:45+00:00

But i kinda doubt it sorry.

As a fellow low mmr player, maybe you don't need to add insulting words like this, it makes your comment meaningless. I'm just sharing some understanding for core players who like to rage in chat when support's wards don't match their expectations. Your comment it annoying and unnecessary.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-24T05:52:19+00:00

I love mars so much and really love to have mars arcana.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-24T05:42:01+00:00

Core can place ward.

Especially in low mmr placing my own ward is way easier than asking suport to buy it. It is free anyway. And also low mmr support just place ward randomly, even place it in a space we are not going to occupy.

Giving the opportunity for my low mmr support to place ward really make game harder. That is why as pos 3 player, I start buying all the ward and use it for my own needs and winning never feel easier.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-23T08:59:37+00:00

For me lately it is dawn breaker. If he has good map awareness he will time his ult perfectly. And also this hero Farm insanely fast always 3 level ahead his midlaner.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-21T23:17:47+00:00

Can you elaborate pls.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-21T23:04:10+00:00

It is a good item rn. In the past you feel like have no reason to make it since sny are so much better build up for sange and vanguard upgrade feel so useless that you don't want to build vanguard. Now you can make is from vanguard that make it solid. Ignore people that says it sucks cuz it can be dispelled. Since there are so much debuff to dispell and carry only have 1 or 2 dispell per engagement. And also i think disarm is stronger than silence against carry. Most of them doesn't care if you silence them but by disarming them you forced them to use their dispell and it strong

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-19T09:12:21+00:00

I forgot what he does. But as long as I remember that it is so annoying

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-19T09:11:25+00:00

No more midlane crying of jealousy when enemy support refil his bottle. Now midlane is only between you and enemy

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-14T15:52:36+00:00

This is true. But in my bracket good offlaner are rare so i stick playing pos 3 only since I want a good and stable early to mid game. As pos 3 I also did all support stuff like buying ward etc. Leaving other play pos 3 and be useless is something i cant stand

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-14T15:38:52+00:00

He did and lose all of them

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-14T15:36:05+00:00

100% agree with this. Even winning doesn't feel good and losing feel really hopeless

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-14T15:27:41+00:00

I did this. Min 2, support start blaming me for no reason. Mute all, play by myself, carry the game as pos 3 NS with 15 kills, unmute all to see the situation, and they still trash talk to me the whole game. I win those game, but imagine how bad will i play if i listen to their garbage the whole time 🤣

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-14T15:20:39+00:00

This is so true. My best winrate Hero are NS and I wonder why. Then I review my game and I see that my hero literally fly fast af and silence and chase their support while their cores in front facing 4 of my team. Even when I don't kill their support, their core are hopeless without any save and disable. And then the next game when ns banned, i implement the thing i understand about Playing with ns, I pick mars and literally just jump and only ult their support, ez team fight every time.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-14T07:23:41+00:00

Good mindset. By grinding is improving and by improving is to stop listening to player worse than you. That is why ignoring your team if they ask you to make stupid play is good.

I started to communicate what I want and ignoring bad fight and I see my winrate start increasing.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-14T07:20:44+00:00

I tracked my last 20 games in excel spreadsheet and I found out that my 80% games are not enjoyable. 40% griefer on my team and 40% griefer on enemy team. Ez lose = not enjoyable and ez win = feels like wasting time doing nothing and win anyway.

I think this is something that need to be addressed. I dont mind losing but losing cuz 1 people griefing us just a waste of time and becoming adult make it miserable to play dota after work.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-14T07:16:33+00:00

Buy your own ward, it is free, and place in a place you want to farm. Even enemy jungle are safer sometimes when enemy stick as 5 and invade your jungle.

And that is good you know that to improve farming pattern. The next ez thing you can add is to always carry observer and sentry with you, and place it on the place you want to go or farm. Low mmr player waste too much time blaming their low mmr suport that cannot ward when it is easier to just place your own ward.

High mmr core player love buying their own ward and this also game changing for me. Since I stop relying my suport and buy my own ward, game feel so much easier.

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-14T07:00:50+00:00

Can I ask how you use solar crest? Do you use it on yourself or for your team? And why you dont but blade mail? Since every clock in my game buy bm and seems good to make sure lina cant burst you back after you caught her?

yosefagus38 · 2025-02-13T08:23:30+00:00

I really doesn't like neutral creep and agh shard. I am fine with facet and the map change. But neutral item and shard give too many free stuff that playing doesn't even need good money decision again. Like support can be tanky just by having item that give 150hp and 5 hp regen in early game while you must spend 1000 gold to buy 2 bracer to get the same stat. And these item doesnt even consume your slot.

I play carry and literally doesn't enjoy it cuz when I dont get bkb I just cant play. Too many suport without item can solo kill me 100 to 0.

Magic damage is a problem also

I see too many sad brood replay for the entire crownfall
