I've done it two games in a row now and I've had more fun feeding than I ever did carrying the feeders. Now I know why my teammates always do it.

Something doesn't seem right since 6.84. It's either an influx of new people or I'm surprisingly better now since the last patch.

"I don't know how percentages work."– You.

We were all normal skill once, don't be sad. The only problem occurs when people in normal skill complain/boast that they are being held back/really good metaforgers

Focus on getting better. At low MMR communication means nothing. DEFINITELY mute the enemy team to avoid seeing their shit talk. USUALLY mute your own team, sometimes they will teach you, usually they will flame you. If you really want to rapidly climb MMR, play pubstompers in the role you enjoy (support or core). If you are climbing, pick one of these roles and stick to 3-4 heroes to which you can go. I play support, I pick a lot of Lion, Omni, and Abbadon.

Current Pubstompers:

Core

>Ursa

>Necro

>Zeus

>SB

Support

>Omni

>Abbadon

>CM

>Undying

Also, you want to find out what you are bad at based on your replays.

>Are you always getting ganked?

Get better at checking the minimap. Every 20 seconds check the items on the enemy heroes. Also, bind a key to call missing. If you have 3 keys, 1 for each lane.

>Are you not warding correctly?

Think about what you want you want your team to do. Are you worried about that Drow getting fat? Just ward around her lane and jungle. Don't give her any time to breathe. Worried about the enemy meme-duo offlane killing your carry in lane? Ward your own lane and keep vision on them constantly.

It really is true that "the only constant is you." You can't control your teammate, so focus on getting better. If you are good enough, you will rise in winrate and MMR. If you are not, you will drop or stagnate. Everyone gets games with troll players, but there is no way every game you have is full of trolls so you are stuck at 2k. Have control over your own actions and choices and own up to your mistakes.

OR JUST PLAY ANTIMAGE MID AM I RIGHT GUYS

I don't think I'm good, I just think everyone I play with is even shittier than I am.

Really, I don't mind sticking in normal skill and I don't care how low my MMR falls. I don't expect my teammates to be pros, I don't expect teamwork from them, and I definitely don't expect for them to win games for me. I'd just like to play a game where my teammates understand that Mask of Madness and Desolator don't work together, etc. I'm a trech shitter, yeah, I'm willing to admit that, but I'm asking for pretty basic shit here.

Being grouped with PSG is a new low.
