Hi guys. I am a great lasthitter, know everything about the game and have 75% winrates on carries.
The problem is, in ranked matchmaking nobody wants to support me and so I have to support them. I buy wards and help them and stuff, but I'm always ending up with stupid auto-attackers and people thinking that anti mage is a ganker. So we always lose.

If they let me get the right carry, I just farm my battlefury in 12 minutes and usually win the game one way or another. How can I make them understand that I'm a better carry than them and that they should listen me? thanks.

This is just my opinion, but I think you should immediately go pro, maybe take XBOCT's place on Na'Vi, I look forward to seeing you play at TI5.

SIKE

First of all, take a break from your power trip. If you are good at last hitting, awesome, but that doesn't make you a god. Make it clear that you would like to play carry(without being stuck-up) and go get that farm! If you can't consistently get the carry role, start figuring out how to be the best support you can be so that you can be useful no matter what role you have to play. Also, read my carry guide /plug.
I got to Notable, Thanks!

Kappa

As any good, hard working, MMR grinder will tell you, play pace controlling mids. Spam Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Lina etc and carry the game from mid. Who needs lane supports anyway?

I often play support's in solo and i can tell from the level of player i get paired with that calibrating would be a waste of time. I normally end up as farmed as my cores while buying all the wards/dewards/smokes. Lower level it's hard to do it as a support, as if your carry sucks the big one and theirs doesn't suck as much, you f'in lost.

So, basically, if you really want to get to a level where you can rely on others you have to play heores who don't need the support (though ideally you will get it, obviously).
Play Mids, just play one's with good escape if you cant rely on a ward to spot rotations (this means NO Pudge)
For safelane:
Faceless Void is good. He can solo the offlane, so take him safelane and if you get your capable support it's a bonus. Go Mask of Madness first though, everytime. It's your earlygame killing and your farming tool (which if you have no support you will need).
Drow Ranger is decent as well. You'll have a tough time until you get level 6 (last hitting is a bit of a ***** before that), but you can definitely solo a lane with her. A well timed Gust can stop ganks as well.
Wraith King isn't bad. Durable, stun, good damage. Just don't skill your ulti unless you can get a counter kill at lvl6 (save the point).
Bristleback is great at the moment. Solo the lane easily, get farm with quills, rotate to jungle and ancients.
Luna is another decent one. Good movement speed, a stun and with Moon Glaives you have great catch up potential with jungle and ancient farm available, as well as skilling early if the lane is hard to snag the extra last hit or 2.
and of course Troll Warlord, cos Troll OP.

Not a complete list, by any means. But for the love of god don't go super carries like Anti-Mage, because he needs babysat. If he gets zoned and doesn't get good farm your done. Not a good catch up hero, needs Battle Fury before you can farm jungle efficiently, and so easy to kill if underleveled with a good rotation.

I hope this is helpful and not just a load of ****!

Wow wow wow, if you truly know everything about the game how is it even possible to lose? Anyway, you should probably also take a look at your own play. If you have no chance of playing carry in a ranked match, learn to play other roles. You really can't do anything major to improve your teammates' skills, so focus on the thing that you can change. You can of course try to convince them that you are THE carry, but well, every pub player has this mindset. Nobody plays a good support. Imagine, you're queuing for a game and some player tells you that he's the best carry player. Do you believe him? Hell no. You have to learn to play other positions so you can have an impact even though you don't get the carry.

Ok... Some tips:


1. Unfortunately, you have no way to prove to them that you're a better carry than them before the game starts.

Try: Playing with friends/people who respect your ability to carry.

2. You don't know before the game starts that you're better than them. What if they're BurNing in disguise?

Try: Respecting other people's ability to carry.

3. You can't always expect to play carry. Some people have to support, it's the nature of the game.

Try: Playing a bit of support against bots/pubs, get to know a few, then you can always have them in your back pocket. (in case you need to support)

4. Drawing from your paragraph alone, I can tell you are a confident player, and have probably researched a lot.

Try: Teaching your friends (or random people during the game) in a friendly manner.

Which brings me to my last point:

Try a change in attitude. You can't go around like you're the best player in the world and expect everyone to live up to your expectations. Phrases like "I know everything about the game." and "I'm ending up with stupid auto-attackers." will not help the situation. Those can be kept inside your brain for self-confidence and what-not.

Also, if you know everything about the game, then why are you asking? :D

Post your dotabuff.
Stop playing ranked
And play high impact carries like SF, bristleback,weaver,clinkz,strom spirit,troll warlord,windranger.
Play in stacked if you do know what you are doing.


Questions:
what is your last hit/ 10 mins?
how do you qualify yourself as a good decision maker.
If the game has gone wrong but team cooperated with you, how do you take the defeat?
Do you communicate nicely?
Do you thank the warders or those that save you?
How good is your micro? can you stack ancients?
Do You know i know everyhting about this game?

i am 2k mmr. I guess that happens when you think you know everyhting
