Again it goes back to my original post, play to a heroes strengths and not their weaknesses. That wasn't the only game where you built an AC/Daed on Magnus. Also judging by the GPM/CS in some of your games I think you might need to work on your last hitting.

Yeah, my problem is not my last hitting, I think Im very good at last hitting and win my lane most of the time, it's just that I dont spend enough time fsrming into my games, I roam too much, I know I still need a better judgement about that, thanks for mentionning it:)
I need to work on this:)

ps: if you got the time maybe if you could link those games where I needed to farm more? I'll just rewatch them

Now do you want links to the games so you can try and improve or so you can justify what you did? Because this is typically what happens with these posts. People come in and ask how they can improve their MMR and then when they are criticized the OP fires back with excuses and reasons on why they made the choices they did.

But if you want an example your last Jugg game your GPM was very low and your CS was low as well. Your last magnus game you had 3.4 CS/min on a hero who can flash farm waves with his Q. Lets put it this way...unless you are last hitting every creep in the wave you need to get better at last hitting. Being good at last hitting is beyond timing the swing right, it's lane control. Knowing when to push the lane out, when to aggro the creeps, when to hit other creeps so you can time your last hits properly with towers and allied creeps.

I... wanted links to actually rewatch it and rewatch my decisions

Like if I shouldve farm instead of farming, where should I farm, stuff like that.

Yeah I'm a bad carry (what I mean by carry is #1 position, I think I'm a decent 2 and 3), I know that, if you could get the links on my mid games or offlane or even as a support that you think that I didnt farm enough, I'll go check myself too


Im not trying to get excuses, I mostly agree with what you're saying, but we have different opinions on some other things which I think is why this game is fun, right?

Adittionally, you can always ask for Feedback after the inhouse, afterall, 9 other people on this sight will get to see you play from 9 different angles. <}3

True, it's the differences of opinion that make the game good and bad at the same time 8{3

I guess here is a better way to look at it...assume you need to improve on EVERYTHING. Map awareness, decision making, hero selection, last hitting, etc... You are at 1.9k and it has been assumed amongst the Dota 2 community that the average is about 3k or slightly above, so you are well below the average in terms of MMR so it is safe to assume everything could be improved.

If you look at the Juice/Swiftending experiment where he took a 2.9k account and brought it to his MMR 5.6k you will see that his GPM and CS are through the roof compared to the people he played with. He even stated that the last hitting, lane control, and itemization was pretty piss poor all the way through about 4.5k. So it's safe to say you can probably improve on all those areas.

This isn't meant to be an attack on you but these threads pop up a lot and I think people expect some kind of small tip that will bring them up in rank but in reality the short, yet cynical, answer of 'get better' is relatively true.

Edit: The one specific tip I can give that I used to raise my self in rank is to get good at solo mid and solo offlane heroes. At your MMR I would avoid playing supports at all cost. You can play an amazing support but if your allies don't capitalize on your plays or bother to look at the mini-map when you have placed wards it's all for naught. Solo mid/offlane heroes allow you to be entirely in control of what happens in your lane. If you die...it's your fault..if your GPM/CS suck...it's fault. Also these are typically positions (mid mostly) that come online early and allow you to have a high impact in the early to mid game.
