I don't know about you guys but whenever I see toxic players I easily lose my appetite in playing or even continuing the game. Do you know the feeling of having to continue and waste your time playing that current game because you can't quit since you will be having abandons and low priority and stuff? Whatever you do, you will still lose the game because of those toxic abominations. I sometimes think that if only I just watched some memes I wouldn't be wasting my time rather than playing and losing with these murlocs. >.>

I want to hug m8, i completely understand how you feel. there are times that even if you adjusted for your team, you'll still lose, why? it's either your Carry or Mid got raped. most of the time, the Noob players pick Carry or mid, i also don't understand their mentality. Maybe they want to be the hero of the game, so that no one will curse them? But what really happen is they are the main reason why your team lose. They didn't get fat enough to carry the whole team. There are also various reasons too, counter picked, Initiating a team fight, no help when being ganked and etc.

So far every time I play ranked games, I try to enjoy every moment of it and not be bothered by my toxic server. Every time I queue I'm hoping that I don't get to team up with noob and toxic players. But even if I'm in a bad team, I always try my best in every role that I choose whether it be support or carry. Positive thinking really helps you to be a good player.

Today, i see the matchmaking terrible every time i play a game there is a big gap between teams in the gameplay, sometimes some player you will be shocked how they play the game i feel like it's a 6 years old kid who's behind the screen. The thing i want to change about the matchmaking is the new player shouldn't be playing with old player's, they need to have a TBD matchmaking only for new players so they can mesure the gameplay between the new player only not with old players so they can have a more accurate mmr for there skill.

you are %100 correct. the secret for that is you need to adjust for your team. the team will not adjust for you. it's simply as asking your team if they want to win lol. most of them doesn't care at all. PRO players care, so they adjust on their teammates. any role as long as it will fit the line up. i respect players like that in the team. at the end of the game i spam them with commends and points.

Cancer! Especially in Solo MMR! The best choice to win on Solo mmr is to adjust for your teammates. Most of the players from 3k to 4k has this mentality of playing normal match, you'll see less of players that will pick support at first picks. So if you really wanted to win, you must adjust to your teammates. The system of this is completely wrong in my opinion, Rating a player from how good they are from ranked game is completely wrong.

Yes, adjusting to your teammates is a must as they are stubborn when it comes to choice of roles. There are plenty of people who are willing to throw the game if they are not given either mid or carry.

You're right but it doesn't end there. You also need to be understanding and supportive to boost your team chemistry. Avoid arguments at all times because this will result into bad decisions. Seems like we're on the same server. LOL

Yes. Sometimes we need to be the light to guide our team out of the tunnel. I never feel safe when I play with randoms. Even when we are leading, some of them will tunnel vision and focus on diving for kills. Communicating positively is key to get them on the right track for a victory.

On point man. Those are the reasons why I'm stuck and 2k and have stopped playing. I eventually reached almost 3k at some point counter-picking and supporting but still, the noobs prevail. However you carry them, if they are dumb, you can't win. Even if you have 4 Divine Rapiers, consumed Moon Shard, a Heart of Tarasque and a Boots of Travel you still can't win. Why? Because your enemies are overfed by your teammates and they now have 1 Divine Rapier each and some other things.

Yes, it's draining to play with these toxic players. I rather go and play other games if my friends are not around since I want to chill after work.

You should play normal games if I were you. I always play bots and normal games whenever I can to enhance my skills. Mastering a lot of heroes really helps too because your hero pool would increase.

Yes, I play normal games as well. However, I am taking a break from Dota 2 as I am concentrating on some projects at work. I think it's a time to recharge myself. It will feel great for me to be back playing the game soon.

Yeah! Play hard man and kick those noobs so hard that they eventually would stop playing because you keep owning them.
Or is it the other way around?

Well, it's great now that my friend is back. Time to play more Captain Mode games. It's way much better than the toxic solo ranked games.

m33kuh · Jul 26, 2017

That's good. At least you only have 3 more stupid players to worry about. I like to play party sometimes but I feel like I'm not learning because I'm mostly stuck to heroes I know which is part of my role on the party.

Ranked games are the only games i play, The way i see it is if you want to have decent teammates, then you'll have more chance finding them in ranked games cause just like you, pmost people are also trying to climb to the top. But yeah toxicity really is a thing regardless of what server you are from. You just have to suck it up i guess and move ion cause that's how the game is. Whenever I have bad teammates, i always keep in mind that that's just how the ball rolls, you win some you lose some and just try to do my part.

djdanilo · Jul 27, 2017

Ranked games are a good way to play on a, lets say, more competitive level. Problem with solo ranked games, in lower brackets there are so many toxic players, that just queued up to annoy other people. Of course, from time to time, you can have a good game with decent teammates. I usually play party ranked games with my friends and we tryhard a little, but still have fun playing.

That's a good mentality to have. At the end of the day, we can only control one hero. We just need to do our job and hope for the best. It's important not to get tilted by toxic players.

m33kuh · Jul 28, 2017

Still though, on lower skill bracket, ranked games are not reliable. It is where you will see kids and high school students cutting classes just to play some dotes. And they wouldn't even care if what they clicked to find match is a normal game or a ranked game. And sometimes, they will just get disconnected 30 or 40 minutes during the game.

Hikin33t · Jul 28, 2017

I can't play ranked right now, unfortunately. I love DotA but the community makes it hard on me. I used to play a lot but I quit to learn Japanese, it's been 2.5 years and I am complete trash at DotA now. I get crazy flamed if I play and my hero pool is EXTREMELY limited. It's mostly because I just do not enjoy the support role in mobas and I can't stand the way some heroes play. Also, I just suck at some heroes.

I've tried randoming to improve myself with various heroes but I just can't enjoy the game if I'm not playing a hero that I like. Truth be told, I'm a solo mid player or carry at heart. The only problem is everyone else is a solo mid/carry player so those slots are immediately taken.

Besides, I suck now so I don't really deserve to take those roles. As a result, I'm forced to play unranked until I get better.

It's okay to train using solo ranked. I believe that it's important to actually master several key heroes. Establishing a pool of stable heroes will help to gain MMR. Many people always think that they can play everything, but hero mastery needs time and experience. You cannot go into Dota 2 and expect to own just based on a couple of games.
