KoE and Raspharus: Journey to 3K solo MMR in General Discussion
Tempest Bloom

    After a brief discussion me and Raspharus decided to create this collaborative thread tracking each of our journeys to 3K solo MMR

    [u]Knight Of End[/u]

    http://dotabuff.com/players/93699158

    Calibrated MMR: 2449

    Current MMR: 2410 (-39)

    Highest MMR Achieved: 2673 (+224)

    [u]Raspharus[/u]

    http://dotabuff.com/players/120388161

    Calibrated MMR: 2.3K~ish

    Current MMR: 2580 (+280)

    Highest MMR achieved: 2605

    [u]Stomp Games[/u]

    Games in which either of us feel was a stomp either way, just for laughs

    http://dotabuff.com/matches/801807412 - the good old void/wd roflstomp

    http://dotabuff.com/matches/795739298 - I felt this game as Clockwerk was a stomp, regardles of how long we uneccesarily dragged it out -dat 60K XP lead though

    http://dotabuff.com/matches/793167371 - Raspharus stomping as Zeus

    Hope people enjoy the commentary of our journey! I intend to update this every few hours/several times a day, if anyone else wants in add me on steam

                      First match since starting this thread: http://dotabuff.com/matches/793393727

                      overall quite a bad match from me, partly due to the fact that my internet took a shit on me and i had 500ms ping until about 20 minutes in, partly due to the fact that im not very experienced in offlane doom.

                      i think i could have maybe TP'd around a bit more to help my team, but one thing i struggled with was choosing who to doom, there we so many high priority doom targets that i couldnt choose between them. also a few of my dooms went to waste

                      overall hoping to improve on my mmr, as its getting a lot lower than normal

                              I'm don't play Doom that often, but I have two tips that may or may not help.

                              -If you're laning doom, try to grab a Big Satyr or Turkey. The regen or armor buff will make laning a lot more managable.

                              -If you're keeping up with levels, grab a level in lvl death when people on the other team are 5 (about to hit 6).

                                  I went for the big centaur and went ring of basi, so our team had a reliable stun to use with blink dagger, as otherwise we had no stuns apart from X, i ended up sticking with it to start as the initiator but i guess it didn't work out

                                      That's true, however if the other team has a support either harassing or controlling the lane, you aren't going to have the laning situation you want it anyway. It mitigates the damage they do to you. If it's a 1v1, it makes you more robust in lane, even if the lane is pushing slightly. At least to me, the extra tankiness is worth what you lose in laning position.

                                        Copy and paste from the other thread

                                        Today's summary for me. I had 3 matches, they were all pretty good. I raised from 2531 to 2605.

                                        1)http://dotabuff.com/matches/792396173 I went for the roaming support, the early was fairly ok, but we managed to take the upper hand in late. Lone druid was pushing like a death machine.

                                        2)http://dotabuff.com/matches/792457507 Pretty tought, because NS got a 10 killstreak in the first night, so we had to play very defensive. In the end the dark seer pick was good, because we managed to turn the tables. Dat ult with agh is not funny for a carry. I bought an atos because i needed a slow, and shiva was too expensive. Weirdly enough it acutally worked wonders when i slowed ns and focused him down with the illusions.

                                        3)http://dotabuff.com/matches/793167371 Complete utterly stomp. I was reaaaly close into beating my kills record on zeus(which 23 atm). I was going to pick dark seer but then i saw that we didn't have a reliable carry. I was sure that wr wont carry(she played terrible), and bh was too unreliable. So in the last second i went for zeus, with cofidence that i can win easily. Even tho i fed first blood, the game was in our advantage the whole time.

                                        Overall im optimistic that i am going to reach 3k soon.

                                        frostychee

                                          and imo the cent stun is pretty bad at the beginning. The attackspeed is useless and the stun will cost 100 of your 182 mana. Mid game def. viable.

                                          sano

                                            good luck, please upload replays if you get 3k, some users here could learn something (chris, sat, sampson)

                                                    respect for every1 under 3k. 2,4k to 3k is the hardest. if you get to 3k, you will get to 4 in no time. if you want to carry your own games in that part, you gotta be ready for 1v9, not 1v5

                                                    Fay

                                                      Well about which creep to pick, it usually depends :/
                                                      But mostly i spend all of my devour into lane creep because i will not be able to go to their jungle (got raped by supports)
                                                      But good creeps are (frost armor/vhoul assassin/harpy/ghost). They are so imba early game :surprise:

                                                                        Hex Sigma

                                                                          The reason you wanna farm more is because sometimes the enemies can turn the tables and if you're not close to 6 slotted you're gonna struggle.

                                                                          Tempest Bloom

                                                                            Yeah that last game wasn't the best demonstration of being good at carrying, spectre is one of my weaker carries because I play her maybe once or twice every couple of months. That game the lane was horrible, vs necro with 2 points in aura and a nighstalker, and rubick actively contesting my CS half the time.

                                                                            I knew there was no chance of getting radiance sub 20 minutes so I went for a more combat ready build with casual ring of health (because otherwise id lose too much health due to aura + night stalker's dives) > drums > diffusal > manta

                                                                            R301

                                                                              This comment was edited

                                                                                R301

                                                                                  I mean those super late-game carries, PL AM counts, jugg and bs probably doesn't count. I should've added naga.

                                                                                  Tempest Bloom

                                                                                          R301

                                                                                            I wonder do you guys random or pick what you want to play/you're good at, or you wait and counter-pick?

                                                                                            Tempest Bloom

                                                                                              A lot of the time I wait until about ~30 seconds left before picking, if my team has picked multiple carries before that point I pick a support hero which can try to counter any picks the opposite team have made. If no ones chosen a hero in that time I'll pick a carry I feel comfortable with, although I'm trying to expand my scope a bit more

                                                                                              Hex Sigma
