When to commit to ranked mm in General Discussion
yung griphook

    just curious about everyone's take on this.

    When is the right time to commit to playing ranked mm, every time you play?

    for example, someone like me, with "normal" aka garbage skill. Would it be more beneficial to play non-ranked, get really good with heroes of each role, and better in general to the point where i can carry my whole team, and go into ranked. Or, go into ranked now, learn from the growing pains, and get better as i play and grind that way.

    any thoughts/ constructive criticism appreciated

                      the sooner you start the sooner you'll learn. Since you're Normal and normal sucks, whatever you do will be fine. Just keep learning :)

                      Sometimes you will see a hero owning super ez, try that hero out. Other times you might feel you can do better than other people with the same team composition, pick that hero next time.
                      You saw a good combo? Make sure you try it later ->like omni pudge. Everyone has tried that out at some point, with pudge and with omni.
                      Little by little learn about certain advantages, terrain advantages, playstyle, potential of items you're not used to!
                      You're free to try everything you want!!

                      Make love, not flame

                        You will get higher playing any hero if he fits a bit. I play lot of supports because noone else wants to or can usually. Also 5th position even when I shouldn't (today I was wd, our venge maxed quite and built maelstrom at 4.2k ). Got from 2.8 in 2.5 months.

                        You can make big difference with every hero. Do stuff like warning your team, get better at map awareness, start shifting skills and items you buy, read about mechanics, turn rate, attack modifiers, BAT...

                        And don't listen to people who shitpost that you need to max hardcarry to win it for your team. That's plain stupid. If you think your teammates are retards, how about preventing them from feeding by wards or mark on the map, telling them they do good and stopping the flame. Plenty of options. Good luck.

                          Vaikiss`742.

                            hes right

                            supports are the ones who wins the pubs not the carries

                            yes there might be games won where 5 carries wins against a well structured pick but not becouse of heroes but because of pure outplay

                            i can't count amount of games where i got my early game carried by a decent support (even tho they are rare breed)

                            u can even support with core heroes as long as u know what ur doing and then scale into late game with them and stil lcarry ur team

                            but good support more valuable in higer mmr's i guess cuz in lower ones decent mid or carry can win a game alone as long as his team is not ruining on purpose

                              sadly the higher you go the higher the chances of the team ruining your game as you get queued with high 3k and low 4k people...

                                Never trust your carries.... atleast not when you in normal skill. They so bad

                                i love u butt

                                  normal matches are cancer, people there dont take games seriously

                                    and where they do lol ?

                                    even in 6k mmr ppls random heroes pick 5 carries and throw on purpose

                                    i love u butt

                                      u gotta stop watching singsing strim

                                      at 5k onwards, at least carries know when to split push + get core items quickly

                                      below 3k, they just gank for 50 mins

                                            Play ranked when you want to play your best heroes.

                                            If you want to random or try a new hero, play unranked.

                                              Just go and play now, because if you want to improve ranked games are way harder atleast fo me.

                                                normal skill ranked and non rank has literally no difference.
                                                trying to learn in that tier of dota is a joke btw, go buy an account.

                                                  thanks for the input guys, gonna try and put these things into practice

                                                    i play only ranked because i don't need morons ruining my games with the excuse 'it's non ranked, i just want to have fun'.

                                                    It really depends what you are after. If you feel like playing dota how it's mean to be played, then go ranked. If you want to play dota with 5 man carries with dagon n shit, go normal ranked.
