    I had to check very often if they really are Immortals because I saw little difference to Normal skill Dota.

    How big difference u guys think there is between brackets in 2019?

    Tribo

      yes

        The gap between each medal is "very different" back then I think it's just that they have the same skills, but no.

        An ancient player is more skilled than a legend player and better understanding of the game, and the lower the medal the more noober it gets but the higher the medal the more high skilled/same skill it gets after divine.

        After divine all you need to climb is better understanding of the game not some mechanical shit.

          Mainly I was devastated seeing one Immortal Treant spammer playing. He did feed him self like 10 times with no gain. He know enemy have sentry but still did initiate in low hp to die etc...

          In Normal skill U rarely see anyone so stupid. Ofc he might be in tilt or having stroke or something and that's why he build all wrong skills and played like LoL player. Sadly their team still won and that made me ask if they all 10 were acc buyers or skill caps are no more

          kowareta

            yeah mulli, immortal players are worse than u.
            i mean, its understandable, poor ppl who cant get rich, calling richs thieves,
            crusaders who cant get immortal, calling immortals acc buyer.

            Tribo

              10k behavior score still get matched up with Russians who grief and abandon just to ruin your calib games

                Sadly when I watch Treant games I usually see pretty shit playing done by Immortals. I would love to learn something new from these games but usually all I learn is how they are very poor to play TP

                rofl

                  normal skill is literally playing versus passive bots for me. You've never played immortal level games, so how can you even have an opinion you dumb-ass cow

                  MuLLi

                    ^Yes I have played Imm/divine games.

                    MuLLi

                      Really it is no surprise if I would not learn anymore about TP playing by watching some mediocre VHS TP players which might have 100-500h TP history.

                      I have thousands of hours TP experience so maybe it is normal to be better than someone with under 1000h

                      rofl

                        so why are you still at normal skill then?

                        MuLLi

                          That is the point of this thread "skill caps" is there some?

                          rofl

                            yes, normal skill players don't understand their skills heroes and weaknesses realistically. you might understand it on paper, but not be able to execute properly. things like positioning, itemization, checking enemy items to build items that counter what they're building, is all something you need to be 'good' at the game. playing the same builds over and over and expecting things to change don't make you good. you have to adapt, or die.

                            you must also think through the ways you're going to die based on the enemy line-up. you must think it through before it happens and prevent it from happening.

                              In my opinion people raise in mmr because they begun to play "right hero" then they spam it until they hit wall. Then they find another "right hero" spam until hit wall.

                              After all they are pretty much same player but higher mmr after some spamming. Does this sound familiar?

                              MuLLi

                                you must also think through the ways you're going to die based on the enemy line-up. you must think it through before it happens and prevent it from happening.

                                I see a lot of Immortal players dying bec they can't do this math. As I said in the example of TP player higher in the thread.

                                DemonicTrashcan

                                  When people are playing their personal peak DotA, they can perform approximately 1 bracket above them, (give or take, this isn't an exact science by any means, just throwing out approximations for the sake of discussion.) So an Ancient player when they're on fire can absolutely compete in a Divine level game, however if you average out their performances over time, it's clear that the Divine player is in that bracket as they perform competently far more consistently.

                                  Consistency is everything when it comes to ranking up, as it's all about pushing that winrate slightly higher, (you only need to be rocking a 51%+ winrate to see a steady increase in MMR.)

                                  Sure you may have seen an Immortal player do dumb shit, there's never a period in DotA where you don't see dumb shit, it's a game that is (currently,) impossible to play perfectly so the deciding factors are the mistakes of players and how the other team reacts to said mistakes. These high level players make fewer mistakes and are much better at recognizing when the enemy makes them and appropriately reacting to said mistakes.

                                  Seeing people make mistakes is easy, that's why people at every bracket whine about their teammates perceived shittiness. Of course, it only takes a moment of critical thought to realize that if you were so much better, you wouldn't be matched with said allies. You're exactly where you deserve to be until you start performing better. The best way to see through this instinctual self-defense mechanism is to just watch your own games. You'll start seeing your own mistakes left, right and center.

                                  Also, if you watch very high level DotA and all you derive from it are seeing the fuck ups of the players without seeing all of the things they're doing that makes them that much better/more consistent of a player than you, then you should focus on watching lower level matches as you lack the holistic game knowledge to be able to comprehend the actions/thought processes of the highest level players.

                                  Honestly the vast majority of your posts Mulli seem less about wanting to improve and more about you seeking justification from the community as to why skill brackets are meaningless/why you're being held back and can't rise in rank. Your mentality around the game seems terrible if you actually want to improve.

                                    If I would like to get more mmr I would play meta heroes and not this totally shit TP

                                    I just see very little left to improve as TP. Some Macro decision making about my positioning might be still left to learn to be PRO =D

                                    I'm just frustrated because I wish to learn from watching VHS TP but I find no wisdom there at all.

                                    Hardest part of low mmr games for Treant is inconsistent games so U can't really play full support

                                    edit. have watched some lower level TP too. Nothing to gain really. :(

                                      So is it possible to be full learnt TP-player and still normal skill?

                                      DemonicTrashcan

                                        Your confirmation bias is completely blinding you. All you're doing is looking for evidence to confirm that you have indeed reached peak Treant Protector play, and that because there is no way to improve with your favorite hero it's unrealistic to gain rank playing it. Your whole attitude strikes me as a defense mechanism to avoid admitting that you actually have tons to improve upon. You trying to externalize the problem and blame it on your preferred hero is just an excuse to avoid facing the truth- your faults are your own, not the hero's; the rank you play at is the one you currently deserve.

                                        At your level you can play literally any hero, and if you're applying Divine+ level micro/macro gameplay decisions you will gain rank.

                                        Here is a video by DotA Alchemy, (highly recommended, I applied many lessons I learned from them on my climb from low A7 to D4.) Jenkins is talking about how Treant is rocking a 54% WR in the top level pubs, and goes on to talk about how his many many buffs over time and a shift in playstyle have pushed him into an excellent position.

                                        Yet, here you are, a Crusader player telling me you've pushed your Treant Protector to the highest possible level and have nothing to learn from other players. Are you starting to understand how absolutely ridiculous you sound? Your claim is childish at best and delusional at worst.

                                          So u are saying my thousands of hours experience about TP is all void. I have learnt nothing really about TP and I'm where I deserve

                                          Lupus Dei

                                            ^^ What he said is factsss, ur just thinking because u have so many hours in ur TP gameplay u think you've perfected it. Theres always room for improvement.

                                            kowareta

                                              first, as a guy who played and laned with your treant, im gonna say it buddy, u are not good. sry. you are not playing like immortal, u are more like archon treant player.

                                              In my opinion people raise in mmr because they begun to play "right hero" then they spam it until they hit wall. Then they find another "right hero" spam until hit wall.

                                              second, no its not like that. it is in top tier dota, but for example for me, i start playing bm cause i liked to change my lane and i liked to practice micro and bm was meta at that moment. still after nerfs i have same winrate (60%) while hero is pretty shit. same with blood or any other hero. u cant just say u are crusader because treant is out of meta(which he isnt!) or u are not playing meta cause its irrelevant.

                                              MuLLi

                                                here is win rates in low tier. So it is not really meta

                                                MuLLi

                                                  here is low tier meta heroes

                                                  MuLLi

                                                    So point seems to be that I'm retard who can't master hero even using 5000h to learn it because TP is great hero and I'm just shit

                                                    kowareta

                                                      well, personally i rather check divine+ winrates for meta

                                                      rofl

                                                        it's not meta because low tiers don't know how to coordinate and games go on forever and heroes like PA are better.

                                                        MuLLi

                                                          Here is my win rates in current patch as Treant and WK which I play core and have 3 times less time used to learn how to play it


                                                          So here is WK which I think I'm mediocre


                                                          Here is Treant which I think I'm tap out in learning

                                                          rofl

                                                            wow you must be really good at the hero, you should spam him to immortal since you're so good

                                                            MuLLi

                                                                      anyway talking with u is pointless, u rather put the blame on everything except urself.

Worst thing about all of you crusader/archon/legend animals is that you dont want to listen when higher skilled player is explaining to you.

                                                                                              kowareta

                                                                                                  Alright bro. We can definitely see why you're stuck in your bracket. Don't bother asking for help if you're just going to act like an ignorant kid.

                                                                                                  MuLLi

                                                                                                    MuLLi
