![]() It may sound harsh to say this, but if you try playing a hero that you're even in the least bit unfamiliar with in Ranked, you're already at a disadvantage compared to a guy following the elite "I only pick Viper cause he is OP" strategy. There's a time for experimenting, and it's called college unranked matches. ![]() Never try a new hero (or crazy build) in a Ranked Match. This is why you should prefer going support over going carry or mid, unless, of course, you are THAT damn good at playing solo mid, in which case, Hello Topson! Mitä kuuluu, perkele? I know playing support is annoying, and it's true that you may very well lose a game eventually due to your carry being an idiot, but it's still better than picking yet another carry or solo mid hero and losing the game from the get go. Is another melee carry or mid-only hero picked by you going to be a worthy addition to the team? I think not. While this is true, it leads to most Ranked Matchmaking teams being comprised of at least two hard carries and a Pudge. You may think that it's better for your MMR when you play a hard carry hero and the outcome of a game depends more on you. Prefer heroes that can also be played as supports. In this situation, maybe don't follow up with Hard Carry Spectre and Mid Morphling. They can be excellent in the right situation, but you will have to tone down the greed on the other picks. Only thing to be afraid of here, is extremely greedy Soft Support picks like Void Spirit or Silencer. You can avoid this somewhat by playing Ranked Roles, people are generally good at following directions if they are pre-assigned to a role. In this instance, if I had picked Mirana, the game would still be very winnable, as Mirana can also offlane AND work in a dual lane. If I pick Puck, for instance, and call mid, there's always gonna be that one guy who picks Pudge or Invoker with no supports in our team, forcing Puck to dual-lane, screwing up the lanes and the game before it even begins. Why? Because you're not playing alone, and people can be huge idiots when it comes to calling lanes. While this isn't fool-proof, you should always prefer having a versatile hero pick in your Ranked Match hero pool. Instead of picking a single hero to play Solo Ranked with, I suggest having a small pool of heroes that you feel comfortable with, and picking only from that pool when you're going ranked. ![]() Remember that you play DOTA for fun, not to be the very best, like no one ever was. Now that you reached your first goal, are you finding your opponents way tougher than you, or do you think you could easily beat them with a little more practice?īe it staying in the MMR zone you are in now or raising it further, keep in mind that you'll need more practice to raise your rank and patience to keep it high.ĭon't force yourself to raise your MMR into levels you can't handle. If every win gives you around +25 MMR, that's approximately 8 wins.Ģ)Determine if this level of play is hard enough. So don't try to be someone you're not, know yourself.ġ)Set a small goal first, like +200 MMR from the level you are already. Well, yeah, but do you believe you can actually get that high?Īre you willing to spend the time necessary for it?Īlways remember that people like zai and Arteezy may be at the top of the Ranked Leaderboards, but they play DOTA professionally, and don't spend time working or being in school. Of course, you'll be asking: " What do you mean? Don't we all want 5000+ MMR?" The first thing you want to do is determine how high you really want your MMR to be. Top Step 1: How Far Do You Wanna Go, Kid? Lifestealer and lvl 1 jungling to hope for a win through AFK farm, but you'll actually grow in skill as a DOTA player, and feel all the better for it! This guide focuses on simple and legit ways to get out of low-ELO hell and raise your MMR without using any "easy" methods that give you a rank you don't deserve. And since you know how to play only that "OP hero" and nothing else, your rank will drop again. Once you raise your MMR to the point where your opponents know how to defeat your hero, you're stuck. First of all, there is no OP hero, only heroes that are difficult for noobs to counterpick. Of course, any DOTA player who knows this game can see the glaring faults here. I remember a topic where someone was asking how to raise his MMR, and people suggested playing certain "OP hero" picks like Slark or Viper, claiming that playing only those heroes raised their rank by 1000 or more. The idea for this particular guide came to me when I was browsing a thread on the DOTA 2 subreddit. When I'm not browsing dank memes on Reddit, I like to write DOTA 2 hero guides!
