General DiscussionFrom zero to top matchmaking

first you have to be decent at dota, so go improve urself

@Vroksnak I'm playing dota since valve announced it.

@followbummi
We've been playing dota since ice frog created it in ROC

@chinkyminks I've been playing dota 1 for 3 years.

I HAVE BEEN PLAYING DOTA SINCE 1950!

Guys return to my question please.

~1000 matches

10 years doto

So what if u started playing dota2 when valve annouced it ?
Does that make you good?
Just by checking your stats i can tell that your nowhere close to high bracket.

depends how well did u start if u are lucky+good start u can get top pages at 3/4th game
and kda matters a lot pay attention to that ( fix kda of lina and alch )

he has no stats btw, 13 matches is nothing

you probably are already there

he isnt on top level or anywhere near

create new account with start like that mirana game you wont rech regular top pages in this life time
u need to aim for 30/40kills without deaths in first 2/3games
i bet u cant even find yourself through hero filter atm

13 match and already 19 death record.

this is how the first games should look
this acc was very high after 3 games
Its my Playing with irl acc, one of them.

Smurf won't bring you up high lol
It' won't change until mmr is fixed, but that might never happen.

Advice from one with 50+ smurf accounts :D

Play with good stack

Pick aggressive trilane (with good initiation and chain stun) and get into enemy's safelane to crush their carries
Don't push. don't let them get any experience at all.
Make sure the support always hide on the trees. They will be too scared to get closer and they will never know if your support decide to gank mid.
Every 2 minutes, guard the nearest rune spot, proceed depend on condition.

For the mid, always counter pick enemy's mid hero.
If possible, creepblock very effectively, so enemy mid hero won't be on their hill. This will make early mid gank easier. If enemy's mid hero have no escape mechanism, gank him to destroy his 305 gold saving for bottle.

For safe lane heroes, preferably pick hero with good escape mechanism and good harass power to effectively use bottle crowing.

Let the support buy 2 couriers, one for mid, one for safe lane.

This work very effectively especially on pub games.

Yes, this is just another tryhard gameplay

Well Valve purposefully removed finding the skill tier so that we could all feel like we are playing at the highest tier. How dare you nubs undo that for this guy? He probably won't buy as many hats now.

Well, you died 3 times and only 18 kills in your first game
Less than 50 kills isn't good

you can get to front page by straying from the standard of gameplay faster if you win your games. your mmr is based off of things the system considers average and how far you stray from that will either bring you up or shoot you down. so if you average 1k gpm/xpm with a kda of 10+ you'll get to front page in no time.

LOL in many games you just cannot win
1v9 lol

and this lol

guess who am I ? I don't know why dotabuff isn't updating the id lol

Fastest way is to play in a stack with players who are in very high.

5 years doto

You can get in very high matchmaking in ur second game.
By my 9th game I was playing on the front pages with ppl with 60% win rate. All this with 3-5 record. gg Volvo ;) http://dotabuff.com/matches/304876665

How u understand that u play in high skill bracket?
1: press find match
2: accept game
3: w8 till on bottom of the screen write how many spectators watching your game (25 minimum to appear in game)
4: Do it in more than 50% of your games
5: Yes you are in High Skill Bracket!
6: IF NOT U ARE FUCKING GARBAGE AND STOP SPAMMING US

also what way2high said is truth but remember for fuck sake u cant die in first 2/3 games at all and you need those shitty kill streaks in order to get rating boosts

rape games

When I made a smurf acc just to try this skill brackets, I got to high after 2 games but stopped playing because it's stupid.But it's possible to get to VH after few games, which is rediculous.People with 10 games played, getting matched with 1000+ wins accounts.

y but difference between average very high game and a top page game where op wants to end up is tremendous/most of the time ;0 and same goes for amount of effort it takes to reach top on alt while not dieing at all in first few games and getting decent amount of kills at same time it aint that easy + then you have to be able to keep up decent stat in many games against good players to stabilize your rating

Win 60 games in a row with a new account. Page 1 guaranteed. To achieve that you need to be good in dota and pick 5-man tryhard shit. I thought this wasn't a secret since dota 2 came out in 2011...

why would you put so much time when u can reach same goal in firt 5/6games with proper stats O:

my mate was matched with dendi after 10 games

To be honest I saw a guy on page 1 with 7 wins out of 9 games in my team(we were 4man stack + 1 random). This new mmr system is screwed up, really. No wonder someone got matched with dendi(most probably fake dondi) after 10 games.
