Trapped in Herald by Immortal Smurfs

[@Customgamer9]

Once you start blaming yourself for your losses you'll get better. It's crazy how people have been playing for over a decade and still think everything is someone else's fault.

[@sh3nnanigans79]

Yes and no. I legit had 2 weeks straight last month where at least 3/4 of my games had HARD griefers on my team or smurf on the enemy team. It was the worst experience ever, immediately after slow climbing from 2.8k to 3.5k. Every game the algorithm would agree I was the best player on the team. Heck, I lost one game and it still gave me mvp as Oracle 5. Now we’re all good. I went back up to 3.2k and am just going 50/50 now with lots of high quality back and forth close games. And honestly I would say I’m performing poorer than before. But that might just be perspective compared to my teammates.

[@Fathomorg]

A friend of mine that used to be a guardian once had a massive ego in Dota. At one point he tried to climb out of his bracket, but he wasn't getting anywhere. I told him bluntly that he plays poorly, ranging from builds, mechanics, and overall awareness of his surroundings. I went over a few replays with him and told him what he needed to do to climb. He followed my instructions as closely as he could seem to manage, and he is now just shy of ancient. The instructions I gave him weren't too different from these: 1. Pick a hero that can clear waves efficiently and threaten towers. 2. Look up what the pros are building, and stop starting every game with 6 faerie fires. 3. Play on your big item/ability timings. When he was still guardian/crusader, I told him he could also play literally any hero he wanted to. He would not be punished correctly for playing a hero outside of their normal role(s). Learn to be both greedy and active.

[@Urza26]

6 faerie fires is very rare even in herald.

[@rainbowskin3379]

Everytime I come back to this video it really strikes me how little this guy wants to change anything. He's not looking to improve at the game, he's looking for players he looks up to, to tell him that it's his team's fault that he loses, or it's smurfs, or it's him being tilted. Never once does he think, "this is something I could do differently"

@@lukeskywalker6641 I have best advice for real, don't get tilted. Dota is a team game 5 vs 5, of course you can't 1 vs 5 players (confidering you are on the same level of skill) if you can 1 vs 5 other players it is no more team game. Let's imagine it like boat, you are with another 4 people on the same boat, of course you can't be faster than enemy's boat if they are better or your teammates worse.

If you can't over come that, you will never get better. Then instead of blaming others, try think about yourself as a human being with limits that has ALWAYS something to work on and get better at. I know sometimes it's the teammates but it can't be always your teamates fault. Statisticaly impossible. Remember the only constant in your games is you. And even if you don't feel like it's your fault always try to entrtain the idea what if it was you who was bad and realize your mistakes and what you could have done better. Also don't look at your teammates as burden but as other people with flaws that are trying to win the game the same as you. They primary goal isn't to ruin your games.

Although I am tempted to send you a replay of a tragic game from about 4 days ago. Playing PA with meepo on mid and alchemist 4. I tell meepo shadow fiend OP as hell. He procedes to do 6k dmg in a 40 minute game, and the alchemist instead of being a hero was an item farmer for us(he literally had mana boots and another minor item and bought moon shards and aghs for the rest of the team and also did like 5k DMG overall.

I also think there is something wrong with Valve's matchups.

And another time, there was a Winter Wyvern who farmed the entire game and never showed up for team fights. Then he walked into the enemy's base to get 1 death. He had 0 kills and 1 death the entire game. We won because of the heroes we picked.

[@HeavensBane53]

My very first game of dota vs human players (I practiced for a week on bots until I at least felt comfortable playing) I went 26-2-7 on spectre and lost horribly. Wondering what went wrong, I went back and watched the replay, and noticed that, while my team definitely was a bunch of complete deadweights, my map awareness was non-existent and I had a tendency to tunnel vision onto kills and ignore what was going on around me. So I put that in the back of my mind as something to improve at. I never particularly cared about my rank (this was back during closed beta before ranked existed) or even focused hard on improving, but just made little mental notes about things to do better and sometimes remembered to apply them, because getting better feels good. A year and a half later I was almost 4K mmr solely through this method, because being able to recognize your failings and putting even the smallest amount of work towards correcting them will take you a long way. That being said, the most fun I ever had in dota was in the absolute MMR trenches, so maybe it's better to just blame everything on other people and never get better, cause at least then you get to spend more time in herald.

I get it when you are trapped in Legend, then you have to do "reverse psychology" - I will not join every single teamfight as pos 1 carry or pos 2 midlaner. Because Legend players believe teamfights win the game, they are like obnoxious children, they fight ALL THE TIME and you don't have time to farm. But dude, for Herald it is just opposite, you don't even have to farm at all, just watch the minimap and join every fn teamfight because most of the time they are not 5 players together and they dont know how to use items in teamfights. It's better to play midlane in lower ranks. Fighting one.

Am i a bad support if i went to help a losing lane and my carry tried to 2v1 and died? Should i get flamed for not having enough cast range to save a teammate in the enemy jungle? Why is the carry trying to fight instead of farming? Why are the supports farming the jungle and actively stealing creeps from cores?

I played this game for about 10 years and there really is a problem with the herald rank, its when the mid loses to the mid smurf and everyone blames the mid player for being a noob and rages them all game, its very frustrating when you play support and do everything right and still lose. A lot of players just give up and go jungle until the game is over, its very very lame. I got to crusader rank after being stuck in herald for years and and the hardest games of my life where all in herald rank. I would win 15 games in a row then I would lose 15 games in a row, I would be matched with actual drunk idiots and who would all pick 5 late game carries then fight over last hits, or I would be in a game and we would easily dominate early mid game but no one wanted to end the game and of course the enemy had a PA farming until they eventually win.

Dude, these people get stuck in herald for a reason, don't let them get to you. It breaks my heart to see these people winding you up 💔

i'm a new player, although at 77 unranked hours not sure if i'm considered new or not anymore, mostly play pos 4 or 5... i wtached a bunch of your videos and improved myself a lot during my unranked games trying to follow all the advices... i can't wait for the day i unlock ranked, i get my rank and i can finally send over a video for analysis because man, some games, i'm just stuck.. i don't know if i gave my lane partner a good lane (felt like one, didn't matter, so maybe it was not that good?), i'm not sure what i could have done different, i forget to use items that i have, at certain points... i don't know who to use the items on, my ass or my teammates ass... that's the things i just can't learn by myself and i'm excitedly waiting for the day i can send over a match id, hopefully have it seen and get constructive criticism on how i could improve and made the game better for my teammates

I win almost every 1k mmr game when I play 1-2-3, I win early game every time I play 4-5, but lose the game. I like to play 4-5, but I'm not able to win the games. Very frustrating.
