*** Official Dota 2 Thread ***

Hi guys, me and my friends have been playing Dota 2 for a bit over a year now - all hovering just under 3k mmr. Been like this for a while now and looking to improve so just wanted to see if there was anyone who had a bit more experience than us who wouldn't mind playing the odd game. We've all got the basics down but I reckon it would be a big help to play with someone 4k+ mmr who can maybe point out things we're not doing/executing properly.

We've all got skype and are on most evenings - my steam name is Fragginz so drop me a message if you fancy a game or two. Also just add me for games if you're around the same level as us, would be good to play with fellow OcUKers :)
 
I'll happily show you a few games mate. I'm 4k mmr and play with a few guys who are 5k+. I just feel bad telling people what to do when they're trying to enjoy their game though :)
 
I find I have 1 or 2 good games (for me) and feel I'm getting the hang of it and then 1 or 2 bad games and wonder if I'm improving at all.

I don't think it helps that I'm playing with PUGs all the time, so have no idea if my team is any good. Or if the enemy team is any good.

Since I'm always playing by myself I also don't really have anyone to learn from. Nobody to tell me if I'm doing something wrong, except the Bloodseeker that's currently 4/7/2 and blaming the whole team.

I occasionally come up against someone that's auto-attacking creeps and I think "Ah, another newish player, should have a chance here" only to find they're constantly at my tower or their Riki/Slark/other-invisible-character rotates in and ganks me.

Can get quite depressing really.
 
This new patch is pretty crazy, have been trying a few weird heroes on offlane and also trying out all the new heroes, I think PL mid can be pretty strong in pubs depending on the matchup, new BS is super fun to play as well.

only sitting at around 5.1k at the moment because I just started playing again but I wouldn't mind playing a few games with anyone who feels they want to improve a bit, dunno how good my advice would be but I can try lol.

I don't play as often, having a mini hiatus, but the few games I have I've found the patch has really changed how a match plays out. Runes are really important and fought over, the new heroes have changed the way you take on a lot of fights and the jungle changes make ganking a little easier and roaming really fun, effective.

Looking forward to getting back into it properly at some point.
 
One thing I've seen a lot more is the use of Chaos Knight and how he's almost unstoppable late game with manta, insta rapes your carries no problem

Sent you a friend request on steam mate - would be great to have a few games with you as I'm sitting just under 3k and struggling to improve. Steam name is Fragginz.
 
I am in potato bracket I fully agree with that. I don't see the point in talking about me here. Am I on your mind that much?
 
They need to bring back solo queue, not this 4 + 1 bs. Being stuck as the solo player when your 4 teammates are some horrible abusive Russian 4 stack is hell on earth. I don't care if it means queuing an extra 5-10 minutes either.
 
Im not sure why but my current run of games is so bad its rage inducing. Im not playing terrible, but Ive definitely lost my touch. I need to get myself a good team of people to play with regular. Damn you dota!
