Can't resist playing ranked even tho I am to worn out to play good in General Discussion
Filthy

    I have recently lost 300 mmr due to playing when I have been extra worn out from working extra hours / take care of son . I guess I just don't have the will power to switch to non ranked . I wonder what percentage of ranked players have this problem .

    la the yeezy

      Go play non ranked games, dota isn't just about skill, it's also about your attitude or mentality. If you're burned out or on a tilt, chances are you'll play a lot worse. Trust me, back in the days when I was a tryhard and would play 5+ games ranked non stop. My goal back then was 4k but I hovered around 3.8k. Nowadays, I barely play dota, at most 2 or 3 games per day but I was able to reach my highest rank as of date which is 4160. So my tip for you is play at your mental/emotianal peak, in pubs composure and a good attitude for me is more important than "skill"

        Me too xD....i wasnt worn out but i had a 1 year break and i knew i was gonna lose like fck, but still i refused to do nonranked games which costed me 500+MMR, now the climbing is real, so basically i lost 500MMR in 7days and ill need kind of 3 weeks to get them back, first month appears to be the introduction xD

          yo filthy, maybe some negative stuff at work are translating into your game?

          plz do

            yo, normals are awesome once in a while. so, go play normals. U can try out stuff without too much pressure. You might get to like a hero, u didnt like before.

            Look at me, Hector.

              there is no such thing as being "worn out" when it comes to playing online

                  Thx for advice guys @ bad intentions . Actaully things going good at work for me lately I just have extra work to do. I have been put in charge of more stuff. My primary job is medic and I work in a clinic so every 20 minutes I get a patient that I spend 10-15 minutes on unless I gotta do a procedure on them which is fine but I am also in charge of several other things so I gotta scramble in those 5 minutes I got out of every 20 to manage the other stuff / send out formal emails/ schedule stuff/ make sure the floor runing smooth since I Am in charge of it . Plus been having a lot of briefings and meetings with commanders about a food drive I am charge of and all the legal aspects of it , having to contact lawyers and crap , so answer your question everything is going really well at work I just getting fatigued from it all. At least all this work is highly visible / get accolades for it , the previous 5 years I was grinding away in pure patient care getting shit on constantly .

                    Well maybe I can recover some mmr this week I gonna see patients at the aid station at gym instead of hospital so that means I got no one to supervise. Now let's see if the wife cooperates lol.

                    plz do

                      so whats ur reallife mmr, filthy? I would guess at least 6k.

                      Filthy

                        Lol 6k a bit much maybe one day . On a Dota note I don't think I can attribute dropping 300 mmr back into normal skill just on fatigue I played a few games today not to fatigued and my mechanics have gotte a lot worse I think I am fighting too much / not farming enough now . I either gotta stop playing carry or I need to start farming more again.

                              Hopeless

                                  Aight I am 375 mmr down now , I got full nights sleep last night however developed a migraine after taking son to pool for 4 hours today . I took my meds 4 hours which make me feel high but fuck it I am gonna Slam down some caffeine ( caffeine good for headaches btw since it is a Vaso constricter) and start up some games tonight goal is to gain 100 mmr tonight but I'll be pretty happy with 75 we'll see how it goes. I made deal with wife that I wouldn't go drink with my co-worker and her ex husband tonight if she let me Dota a bit early :). Didn't really wanna go drink with this head ache anyways so a win for me.

                                      wait wait @Filthy, I have no social life rn so this is too intriguing.

                                      Your co-worker and her ex-husband are going to dinner??? Are they trying to make it work?? If not is it awkward?! WE need the deets

                                      * Note I reread it and it sounds like dinner was with your co-worker and wife's ex husband, maybe? IF that's the case, no need to indulge, I don't wanna know..

                                        Na it is my co- worker and co workers husband she is trying to work it out with him but doesn't find him attractive . On a Dota note first game was a loss ! I just give her advice but they both drink a lot.

                                                        I think I just needed this kick in the ass to remember to return to the basics hitting creeps , also helps that I am not working as much this week plus wife putting out a lot this week oo . Anyways 280 mmr left to go I gained back about 100 so far .
