    Title says it all. Anyone notice a trend in performance with certain roles or types of heroes that I'm bad with? Any wrong item choices?

    I should say that I play solo 100% of the time (something I would like to change but I can't always play more than 2-3 games at a time. Is the general Dota community ok with friends like this or does everyone like to have marathon pub smashing sessions???) I should also note, if it does happen to put me in All Pick (no need to say anything about this, I know) I'm not one that sits at the character selection screen until all of my opponents have picked, which usually ends up with me being counter picked.

    I've noticed myself that the teams I get on most often lose because we don't push towers and too many people just sit back and farm, letting the other team control the map. There isn't enough room for 5 of us in the jungle!!!

    If anyone is feeling super into helping a newer Dota player out that wants to watch one of my replays, that would be awesome too.

    And for the love of all that is holy, please don't watch the enigma game (by all means, watch it for some serious lulz and fails). First time playing him->Captains Mode->Told team not to give him to me because I've never played him->Wow, Black hole has a really short caste range!->AAAAND i suck...

    Also note: I do know I lack quite a bit as a support hero. I'm trying to learn and I do know that I need to work on stacking, pulling, remembering wards, etc.

      I see some people just go for 1 game as a 5man and then head off to school or work, you don't need to marathon. Your issue with playing is that you- well honestly judging by your games, you are rarely the feeder. Maybe you should try supporting, seeing that you have pretty good survivability, and then maybe youll start winning.

        The main problem in your dotabuff is this:

        It's a team game.

          If you want to improve while playing solo ques do not worry about what your teammates do wrong at all. Watch your own replay and see what you could have done in any situation to improve. Things like 'had I ganked at X time instead of farming I could have slowed down their carries farm' etc. It is kinda counter productive on dotabuff but do not worry about your stats at all focus on learning. My winrate on BH could be 80%+ if did not try new strats, new builds, made smurf accounts etc BUT it does not make me a better player. Learning from mistakes is the best way to learn. While my winrate is lower on him because I tested out countless stuff on him I became a better player at that hero because of the process.

              u cant watch your own replays cus i dunno what is this new thingy in dota but mad russians steal items from chick. and just try to destroy your game. for example my last game with tinker. i used chick it carried bottle up and down and the mad russian support venge couldnt use chick for 1 CLARITY!!! he wanted to use chick to lane for 1manna pote..!!! dats all!! meanwhile i was fighting mid against storm spirit, he got bottle too but the diff was, his supports checked rune and i guess it was warded too...so yea...and mad venge stole my bottle than my boots from chick. our legion asked her to giff me back my items. mad russian warded camps in our jungle....
              and this game wasnt the 1st when med russian kid stole items from chick...--"
              u cant do shit with those games. just hope enemy is fair and they try to finish asap
