Hi I play dota and I’m herald 3, I just had an epiphany. Like most epiphanies, upon realization it all seems so obvious. “How do I get out of this bracket?” “why am I stuck in herald?” if you research anywhere on the internet you’re going to see the same result “you have to win by yourself, play mid! topson could 1v5 and win it doesn’t matter who you pick or what you do you can do anything in herald and still win” no other bracket in dota has this mentality. This idea that you don’t have to play as a team to win you just have to carry, that’s the issue. Heralds are wondering “how can I win when everyone on my team is 0/15/3 and no one will buy wards?” Of course your support isn’t gonna ward and of course everyone is gonna steal your farm and of course no one is gonna work as a team because everyone is under the impression that the only way to win is to accept the ~fact~ that they have no team and that they are humanity’s only hope to win this game. No one in herald thinks they should be in herald and that’s a problem. Heralds think they’re too good for their shitty herald team.
If you want mmr be humble,be reactive, have Pma, be flexible, understand the roles, and work as a team.
