Okay, I think I've finally found the right hero to spam to 5k in General Discussion

    Or at the very least climb back to my original 4.5k. My plan didn't go very well with lich, bounty hunter, silencer, jakiro, underlord, shadow shaman, or venge. But now I've got a new favorite hero, warlock. I haven't played him in years since I first started playing the game, but I recently tried him out again and won 6 games in a row with him. I hope this isn't just luck.

    Fatal bonds just wrecks shit with it's high cast range, and 0.2 cast point, so you can almost always cast it, even if you get jumped, and the golems are so good. Just big meaty, fiery flesh fists slapping the shit out of everyone. I think people really underestimate how much damage warlock outputs, his golems essentially have a built in radiance + a pure damage splash attack. I'm still experimenting a bit with item builds and progression, but warlock could finally be the hero to get me out of this 4k hellhole.

      then you will pick something else and drop back to 4k , well played

        Your MMR can't drop if you don't play ranked. :wink:

            Whats the point about getting a raw number mmr without getting actually better at the game?

              You realize that your MMR has a direct relationship with your skill?

                Spamming good heroes doesn't make your MMR higher than it deserves to be. It puts it where you belong. Why? Because all the idiots around you are obviously not good enough to pick it before you, or ban it themselves.

                  It's easier to learn by spamming a hero because you get to focus on the big picture instead of switching into different playstyles.

                    MMR isn't necessarily an indication of skill.

                    It's an indication of a person's ability to win. I don't really give much fucks if you have the 'skills' of a 5k or 6k but are stuck in 3k or 4k.

                        Fellow Warlock admirer here. The hero isn't nearly as good as he used to be. Ever since ti6 he has only received nerfs. The best 5 heroes for boosting currently are: lich support, spirit breaker as roamer, underlord offlane, zeus/viper/ta mid, safe lane as whatever you're most comfortable with.

                        Edit: I guess I can't argue with your winning streak though. Warlock is and always will be my favorite.

                          Just checked OP's most played heroes and got cancer

                            That's not cancer, that's being a good person and supporting the team like nobody else does..

                                  I love the fact warlock rewards feeders since it drops a golem when you die.

                                        Yeah, nevermind. 4 losses in a row, people on 4k SEA are actually too dumb to even pick their lanes properly. They don't mark their lanes, and always assume what everybody elses lanes are. Dumb shit like a Nyx assassin who picked safelane support despite after I picked warlock and venomancer picked saying he was support, forcing our offlane void to be the carry, then followed again by a last pick mid Rubick in the same match.

                                        I literally had a game where a guy picked Slark, then after almost everybody else picked, said that he didn't know how to play Slark and asked to swap. People who random then ask people to swap because they didn't get one of the 10 heroes they actually know how to play. Shit's hopeless unless you're a 6k player, or can carry games yourself.

                                                in SEA you'll often hear people saying "put@ng ina niyo, ako mid mga bobo" which basically translates to "you motherfcking retards, let me mid", then some other player picks mid, then blames team for not letting him mid then proceeds to intentionally feed or afk.

                                                  i auctally as a eu player i did play few sea games ( unranked ) and auctally people are really trash like my first match i saw a trash player and this is a very funny story i will tell u he picked earth spirit and he pretents that he randomed and the thing is he wantet to invoker he didnt get it but after that he didnt get his invoker after that all of us just played for fun and we did random shit and ofc we lost the game earth spirit guy added me and we played 2 more games the second one again invoker got picked he got super mad and we lost that one again the third one invoker got banned and again we lost its pretty much hilarious in these sea expiriences because i dont think they can directly toxic the place i think what they are just trash talkers thats all

                                                        its not really about grinding mmr, its MORE fun to play dota when you play with decent players not toxic ones

                                                            The problem is that it's not fun, even if I do win. In the last few days I had a guy feed himself and couriers on the enemy team because he said someone took his lane, another win from a guy disconnecting and abandoning, and another from a TA feeding intentionally because his allied Bristleback took the aegis. Good teamfights rarely happen because everything is so unorganized and uncoordinated.

                                                            Autumnus

                                                              having fun is better than gaining mmr, isnt the sole purpose of dota is to entertain its players?
