Should i smurf? in General Discussion
cat1

    Im a 1.3 solo mmr player. But when i checked my unrank game the last od gane i found a 2,8 mmr player(do not flame for my bad performance coz i got 30 losses) and in my last mirana game i found. 2.5 mmr guy. 2 month before that i see a 3,8 mmr player but dunno why he end up in ns. So i check my earlier game and i got around 2,7 average in my games. That means i will be high skill in 20-30 game? So as the titles suggested should i smurf when i got to high skill. Its around 150 game to get to ranked play. But if i grind in my main acc i would need 330+ games.

      every player should try atleast once
      sometimes can be very profound

          imo, its fine, just dont become delusional and keep making smurfs

            smurfs are great, just don't be the person who insists on taking core roles if you've over-calibrated

              I got vhs solo unrank but im stuck at 3.4k feelsbadman

              I am 322 ! I am NOT DDZ !

                yes

                I am 322 ! I am NOT DDZ !

                  anyone who earnestly think they should try to climb 3k brackets should shoot themselves

                      whatever you do avoid the 3.8k-4.5k bracket. nowhere else will one find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

                        I made a smurf and calibrated at 4512, I was 3700

                        Since then I climbed to 4700, and back down to 4500 and now I'm at 4540

                        So sometimes smurfs are a good idea if you want a shortcut to a boost

                        But don't over expect your MMR and be happy with what you get

                          How do you avoid 3.8. I dont wanna over calibrated and lose every game i play

                                3k games have supports right?

                                  they pick support heroes but dont support properly, not all players though
                                  but usually its a 5 core lineup

                                  Oldman

                                    3k ranked should have 1 support in most cases.

                                                              dont smurf untill u hot at least 60% on 100+ games.

                                                                  Orangio

It takes a lot more time than smurfing but it is the only way to improve. Even if you get calibrated at 3k from 1k, you'll still play at a lower skill level. If you really are as good as you think, climbing from 1k to 3k should not be a problem. I went from 1.7k to 4.2k over 16 months and still going :)

                                                                    BASIIIIIIIIC

                                                                      diox

                                                                        1VS9

                                                                          Illyasviel

I know someone whos play dota 2 early when im still playin dota 1 and he insist to make a new acc if he calibrated to 2k or low 3k, they want an instant 4k. The result, now im alrd at 4k when they still flying around 3k bracket. u can check 2 of his smurfs on my steam profile, and hes also there too
