Ups and Downs. I'm still here. {1208 mmr}

Hello.

I played 15 games last week and lost 13 MMR points as a result. No gain. Worse, I was reported and I had to play low priority matches to be able to play ranked games again. Why I was reported? We were defeated by enemy in a 30 minutes game where everyone died 8-9-11 times and got 3 kills each, exept for mid. Mid had 17 kills. I was 0-15 at the end of the game and I believe they all agreed to report me. How come I finished the game 0-15? My -marked from the start with Jug- safelane was occupied by a Wraith King. Well, I was tilted and my CS was ruined but I didn't flame him. I muted all to concentrate. No politics.. And this was the result. Low priority single draft games.

If you are contested by any of your teammates for CS in your lane, it is very sad but, just leave there. See for a couple of levels what's going to happen. Ask them if they're laning there for good or they lane with you just to get level 3. If you're not making any last hits just leave there and go find your farm somewhere else. You may not have a good jungle hero, but slowly you will gain gold. If you stay at that lane, you will start to fight against each other, and you will do stupid things that will probably make you die. So, instead of achiving something slowly, you won't achieve anything and you will fall back. This will lose you the game.

This week at total I lost MMR. I lost some games. In between them to put my thoughts together I re-watched the Juggernaut guide on Gameleap (See the link in the column right). I tried to find an aspect to concentrate on. Then I decided to check my item timings. I wrote down what I bought at the start of the game, when did I purchased Phase Boots, Yasha and S&Y. I compared my timings to how well I did that game and who won. As a result, I wrote down target minutes for my early game items and tried to do my best to get them a that time.

You see, you can't gain anything without setting some goals for yourself. You can't somehow become a better player after playing 1000 games. You just can't. You have to focus somewhere and work on it and see the outcome. You can't expect to have good teammates most of the games to help you gain MMR. No, not anymore. You have to carry the game yourself most of the time. That's why I decided to spam a carry hero and I must be the best carry in my team.

I completed 40 games with Juggernaut. I'm posting my games between 25-40 below. My win rate dropped down to %59,46 after 40 games. I think this rate is still very promising.

One more thing. This week I started to stream on YouTube when I can. You can watch some of my past games there, too, if you are interested in low MMR Dota 2 ;)
