Yea that's weird why am I seeing so many 3.7 and above playing in high skill bracket. There's something weird about matchmaking

Dejavu

rip 4k with new ranked coming out in 5 days

How aggressive can you be in lane with no vision? (I buy a HG ward as a mid, but thats it). I am afraid to make 'plays' because I live in paranoia that a support is camping mid just waiting for me to go. Pudge and Mirana are my living hell.

Game sense and abusing TP cooldowns

bye 4k @nov 22 xD

@Maurous.TI7Miracle you are 4.6 and I can still see normal skill games and high skill games in your dotabuff, how?

Grats. The ranked system is changing soon tho, so enjoy while it lasts. I set a goal of 4K last year, from 2.2K, highest i got was 3.5, hovering 3.1 now.

venz is 4k only because he hits roshan

4k no longer very high skill bracket it seems

@I sold my Aegis I play party normal match and rank match if you will see.. basically im playing with my 1k friends

Forgot about this thread but I'll still answer the questions!

@Friendly player -
1. gather your team and tell them to not lose their cool. Avoid team fights and never let the enemy team feel stronger (mental game). Let your carry dictate when he wants to fight.
2. From what I do, offlane is the setter and builds utility items. Also try to deny farm of enemy carry as much as possible. Mid should be able to handle the mid-late game, but can function good without as much farm as the carry. The carry should just farm and only join teamfights beneficial for his team. It takes practice to determine when to do this.
3. Don't waste TPs, utilize the smoke, gank at night, and tell your safe/off/mid to creep control so it pushes towards his tower. It makes ganking easier. Also make use of fog.
4. I dunno man. Kaya's pretty overpowered everywhere now. I guess there are a lot of heroes that are OP in 2k since they don't know how to handle them. Tide, Clinkz, etc. Basically any hero that would require any form of adjustment by the enemy team. Most 2ks are too stubborn to adapt.

@A - C. Either group up and fight as a team or just farm and avoid team fights. Get farmed and take a fight when you hit powerspikes. That negative mentality will bring you nowhere my friend.

@Bourgeosie - pretty aggressive, but don't go beyond their T1 tower. I guess my playstyle is pretty different, since I'm not usually the aggressive kind in the mid lane. I like to make my enemy think that he can take me then I style on him with skills and items. But in terms of being aggressive, your bracket won't have too many supports responding anyway. Just make sure to calculate your health as well as cooldowns of your skills, and enemy support TP CDs.

Yeah, I actually posted about that too bc my solo games are around 3.9k avg - 4k avg but it only says high skill. FeelsBadMan.
