gl when you start picking other heroes

wp

try earthspiriting, ez mmr.

Cool stuff

I am on 3.6k too ( though i started at 3.3k ), in my case i play TA, Ember, Necro, Slark and tinker, the safest one is Necro by far, after necro TA.

Those 2 heroes rolfstomp over 3k, wish i had more time to play solo

^^dorkly, are you really 3.6 k?

How do you actually play Necrolyte Dorkly? I get the feeling I have a fundamental misunderstanding of that hero :p

Yes i am @ACM

@lolwut

I am pretty sure that there are better people to teach you how to necro, the way i play him probably doesnt work against good opponents

Yeah but I'm lower MMR than you, I only have those Very High games because of teammates :p I did always think Necrolyte might be pub OP but I never figured it out.

Your Shaker is doing good, but Tinker has 52% winrate on ranked games which is a bit underwhelming.

I have 69% on this account (13 games) and 90% on this account (10 games). Mastering the hero truly makes a big difference. If you like Tinker keep playing him but always try to search for ways to improve and little mistakes you make, or just any way to optimize your gameplay. Details are very important when you're already at a high level.

Offlane lich is were it's at. Also I've had great success with jungle enigma. my current goal is 4.5k but I think I won't probably reach it

Btw dorky how the fuck are you 3k when you have 54% winrate and an average of 4 kda in your main heroes. u have an eye candy profile

Sano what should i do if i keep sucking with tinker after 70 games ? :(

@lolwut

I just play him mid as a durable/teamfighter kind of hero, i get phase and mek and after that i push with my team, if there is any fights at this moment you should be able to win cause necro can turns fights really easily.

With the gold from those fights + gold from towers you should be able to snowball your way to victory.

My build is usually phase > mek > pipe ( if needed, if not i get atos ) > whatever. I think necro is this strong in low level pubs cause people doesnt know how to focus on hero, if you survive the first 7 seconds of a fight with necro you probably won it already.

I know that some people like treads but i like phase to move around and kite people.

@3005 right now i think i have like 70 % winrate in ranked ( solo i think ), when i have time to play dota i play with friends ( and unranked ), i might have 25 solo ranked games in total, i am not sure.

My party is 4k though

Anyway, believe me, i suck really hard in a lot of things in this game so i dont think my MMR should be more than 4k

Well Dorkly I have like 300 games of Tinker overall, so 70 isn't that much. Keep playing = keep improving.

but i lost a lane to a zeus, as tinker

:/

i can join a 4k game
close my eyes
smoke weed
go out
fuck soembody irl
come back and still win 1vs9

If the Zeus player is good it's not an easy matchup.

I dont think they can wait 10 years for you to get laid Wave

i think i have 80% wr on this account with void, 2 games were abandoned by my poor connection but i was stomping until i disconnected so yea, it should be around 80% (it was 83% a few games ago)

the hero is easy to master, all you have to do is press Q, select a point near your enemies, press R, click there, activate your MoM and see them folks die. do it like 10 times per game and collect free +25mmr

@dorkly pick TA man, at 3.5k people dont know viper counters her so they won't pick it, they will pick stupid shit like Zeus vs her,

I do pick TA in ranked

@Flender Skarluet of course u do. u play np like every game and most likely u cliff jungle for 10 minutes so i agree that's possible
Close ur eyes: 1 second
Smoke weed: 1-2 minutes
Go out: 30 seconds
Fuck somebody in irl: 30 seconds
so judging by my calculations u still have about 7-8 minutes time to spare :D. jk bro

You shouldnt feel sorry because you lost mid to zeus. He has lightnings bro. He spam shit to you. But yea you can spam march to his fricking head. Go expand to your jungle and to your ancients if you are losing mid that hard. If you radiant doing that is a bit easier but it is still do able on dire side as well.

zeus is like easy for tinker not sure what u guys are talking about, skywrath is a even bigger problem then that

He killed me in one combo at lvl 6

I guess i got too close

yea I usually pick skybird to counter tinker pickers, just ward their ancients or else they will have a comeback mechanic

if they are radiant get the supports to buy a sentries and use one to block ancients and use the other to block the big camp near the towers
