I’m glad you’re awake, I wanted to show you. 

I don’t have, anyone else.. – Ultron

Everybody has their main heroes. The key is to understand that you will be forced to pick your main heroes when you’re on a losing streak, no matter what. 

Once you understand this, you’ll understand why you must expand your hero pool to the best of your ability. This is key to raising your win rate that works better than anything else you can ever learn. 

You will get tilted, and you will pick your main heroes nonstop until you win. It is inevitable. That is just fact. 

What are you trying to say to me? Are you trying to say to me that I should pick my main heroes only when I’m struggling with winning? 

I’m saying when you’re ready, you won’t have to. 

Make sure the heroes that are your main are strong enough to solo carry the games and win you the unwinnable games. 

My main hero 5 years ago or so was Lina. I will ALWAYS lose late game if I’m a Lina BECAUSE I’m a Lina. 

You will pick your Grandmaster heroes when tilted. EVEN IN TI. Think Quinn on Pangolier or Ame on Juggernaut. 

Make sure your main heroes don’t suck, otherwise you will always be held back by how strong they can be or the height of what they’re capable of when they are at their full potential. 

Make sure your main heroes are strong enough, because you will tilt pick them anyway when you’re losing, even against counters, and if the heroes are bad carries for example, you will always lose because of them, even if you are doing everything right when it comes to the general stuff. No, strong heroes, not weak heroes that are only good when they’re meta. Heroes that will always own. Winter Wyvern, for example, is a helpless squishy support hero. You will never solo carry the game against all odds in unbalanced games regardless of the meta on a hero like Winter Wyvern.

When the hero is good because the hero is meta, that doesn’t mean anything. 

The hero itself has to be strong even at its lowest meta. For example, Mars will always be an OP offlaner. Regardless of the meta. Unless they REMOVE the hero from the game, he will always be something. 

Yes, but if your best heroes are also the strongest of DotA heroes even when nerfed, even against counters, you will have a much higher win rate. As in 70 percent, instead of 51 percent. 

Even if you “know” the hero, your speed and performance on said hero will exponentially increase the closer you get from grandmaster rank on the hero. Make sure your mains are worth it. You will win or lose because of them. 

Make sure your main heroes are strong enough to always be capable of winning unwinnable games, otherwise, you will lose because of them, because you will be compelled to pick them when tilted, desperate, or on a losing streak. 

You feel like what you’ve accomplished today was still not enough, even if you’ve literally moved mountains today, because the fact remains, you haven’t made it yet to where exactly you want to be in life. You’re still too far away from where you’re heading towards. That’s why you always have the feeling of no matter what I do, I’m still not going to make it. This feeling doesn’t come to you because you really are never going to make it someday no matter what you do, but because you haven’t made it yet. And your mind cannot tell the difference between the two. Am I too far away from my goals and dreams and aspirations? Yes, I am. Have I made massive progress and significant movement forward towards my goals today, regardless? Yes, I did. Do not let that feeling slow you down, or make you stop. You ARE going to make it, one day, I promise. You just need to get started, even if you don’t feel like it, and you just have to keep going, until satisfied. 

You will never succeed, as long as you think you don’t matter. You’re not important, even if that allows you to enjoy life more, because you don’t care, or you don’t give a damn anymore. 

You must think to yourself, I wanna succeed at the highest level, in order to attain the bare minimum. 

The real question is can I do this now. Not am I too tired to do this, or not.

You will always be tired, as long as you are not living a life that is true to you. That’s the whole point of trying to get there, to get to a life where you feel energized, happy, well rested, motivated, and alive all the time. If you’re not there yet, you’ll always feel tired, if not physically, then psychologically. If you wait until you don’t feel tired, you will never do anything.

Can you do this, is a better question that you should be asking yourself instead.

And if your life isn’t your dream life yet, the answer should be always yes. 

Do not let the narcissist dictate your life. Do not let the narcissist determine what’s right or wrong for you or your life. Live life according to your values, and on your own terms.

Please, live life according to what you think, not what the narcissist thinks. 

Most of your thoughts and actions are governed and determined by what will not offend the narcissist. What the narcissist approves of. What the narcissist thinks you should do. What the narcissist thinks is best for you. What the narcissist or the psychopath will allow you to do.

Do not let the narcissist, psychopath, or abuser influence your decisions on anything whatsoever in life. This can happen on a subconscious level as well, even in the absence of the narcissist.

Live your life to the fullest. You’re free. Do what you want.

Counter that by thinking: I don’t care what the narcissist thinks.

There’s nothing wrong with you. Do what you want.

You will not have energy before doing the thing, because not having done the thing yet is energy draining in and of itself. You will only start having energy, or getting your energy back, once you start doing the thing. Once you get started. 

The biggest lie sold to us by the DotA 2 coaches.

If you’re not kill oriented, you will lose. 

You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson, you must know it by now, you can’t win, it is pointless to keep fighting. 

Why, Mr. Anderson, why, why, why do you persist?? 

Because I choose to. 

Every single coach, including BSJ, Pain DotA, Zquixotix, ALL emphasize the assumption that if you outfarm the enemy, eventually you’re gonna get out of low MMR, because it is more RELIABLE than kills gold, thinking that kills are all about the money. 

BSJ personally told me kills don’t mean shit. Only focus on what you can control, and eventually you will slowly climb out of low MMR until high immortal, or at least 6k MMR. I’m paraphrasing. 

Zquixotix also personally told me, over a hundred games, you will win more games than you lose, and with a 55 percent win rate, you will slowly but surely get out of whatever rank you’re stuck in. By mastering the fundamentals and focusing on the laning phase because DotA is a snowbally game, and eventually 50 CS in 10 minutes will compound, and if you have a thousand gold above the enemy herald, you will stumble upon them in the jungle and end up victorious in this encounter. 

You don’t need to know more than that, to get out of Herald. 

Pain DotA, the most braindead thing you can do to climb from zero MMR to 5k MMR is get 200 CS at minute 20. If you farm like the average player in your rank, how are you ever going to climb. 

Every single coach on the internet has this disease, called get good at the fundamentals and the laning phase and make no mistakes and over time you will win more and climb. 

Think to yourself, why every smurf farms kills instead of jungle? 

When was the last time you saw a faceless void smurf just six slotted at minute 20 with zero kills and went to end the game with no advantage whatsoever over his low MMR opponents but superior networth. 

The reason why coaches advocate for this, is because they are bad. 

Bad at DotA. At least bad at making kills and team fights. That’s why, despite being all-knowing, they will never win TI.

They are not fast enough. Smart enough. Intelligent enough. They don’t have what it takes. 

BSJ himself has a video where he says no flare, no style, to escape the madness, chaos, and unpredictability that is the 2k and below MMR of DotA. 

The reason why I get 5 high immortal smurfs on the enemy team every single game AFTER I STOMP, and not when I afk and take it easy, is because the matrix doesn’t know what to do with this. 

This is the combination of Map hacking smurfing from 17k MMR, and being a game developer that does what he wants in game. We haven’t seen anything like this before, not even in TI. Not even Yatoro can play like this. 

Even master Yoda doesn’t have a midichlorian count that high.

No Jedi has. ~ Qui Gon Jinn 

But if this works for me, how is that helpful for us normal people?

You will climb, until you stagnate at whatever bracket you truly belong to. 

The match ID I’ve mentioned below contains an Archon III Axe. I am 400 MMR. Let that sink in. I won through out fighting him and his whole average 3k 4k MMR team, with the help of the Riki, of course. 

You’re a Jedi too? Pleased to meet you. ~ Young Anakin Skywalker

I’ll kill them, I’ll kill them all. ~ John Wick, chapter 2

If being kill oriented, instead of farm oriented, is not a reliable way to get out of low MMR, I don’t know what is. 

The system is designed to keep you low MMR. You can’t outfarm your way out of low MMR anymore, this isn’t 2017. 

If you watch the replay down below, you will see the defeat from miles away. 

If I haven’t stepped in, trusted in the force and the guidance of Master Yoda and the light, none of us would be here today, celebrating this unreal instance of victory. 

Quadruple down on what you’re naturally good at. ~ Gary Vaynerchuck 

You will naturally develop map awareness and map control, just by being kill oriented. 

I want you to understand, that the system thinks I balance out a stack of 5 high immortal smurfs with multiple rampages per day and a hundred percent win rate all on the enemy team, with normal accounts on my side. Just because of my performance in the previous game. I don’t remember the last time I got a rampage, and I have below 50 percent win rate. But what I do in game is better than the entire team COMBINED, given the easy bots I have on my side, and the fact that the game is balanced ideal 5 very close perfect, at least according to valve. 

The fact that you guys still climb, and never have to face this kind of increasing difficulty the better you play, means that you’re no different from everybody. There’s nothing special about you, and so you fly under the radar, without ever getting noticed by valve’s algorithms and anti climbing mechanisms. 

It doesn’t mean I’m going to stop farming altogether, and watch my MMR go up. 

You still need some gold to become capable of fighting in the first place. 

It’s being farm oriented that is wrong. It will not increase your win rate. 

I’ve seen pain DotA in his streams, and his mental agility and speed are unnatural. And he was AFK while playing like this. These guys take speed for granted. They think you already have it, but you suck at the fundamentals, and you make a ton of mistakes every game, and that’s why you’re low MMR. They have no self awareness whatsoever. Or they’re lying to you. You need speed, you can’t climb without speed. It’s everything. If you’re not faster than your enemies, YOU WILL LOSE. No matter what you do, or how hard you try. Being kill oriented is the only reliable way there is to climb MMR. Ever. You don’t know what will happen once you reach late game, and you will. How is having more farm than the enemy reliable to guarantee you victory late game if the entirety of what happens late game is unpredictable and unreliable in the first place? If nothing is guaranteed to work when you get there? Then how getting there with more farm a reliable way to win more? Focus on the laning phase because it’s the only thing you can control. And then what? Lose every game afterwards anyway, but be proud you did everything right? 

Lie down in bed for a moment. Visualize every single game you’ve ever played. The ones you won, and the ones you lost. 

What do they all have in common? 

People fighting each other all game long, until the side with more kills wins? 

Wrong, people who are superior to their enemies, stomping early to mid game, and then end up winning eventually, unless someone throws or overextends. 

Unbalanced games, every single game, one side is always superior to the other. 

Sometimes it’s just some players who are superior to others. And how do they take advantage of this? 

They keep making kills, until they eventually win. 

But what about the games where I made a ton of kills and still lost the game? 

You were farming kills for networth, not for killing your enemies to victory. 

As you can see here, it’s all about can I kill all my enemies all game long, no matter what they do, and win all fights I engage in, or not. 

Can I become unkillable, can I survive, can I kill anybody early, mid, and late game, no matter what they do or how hard they try, whether one versus one, or five versus five? 

You HAVE kills, but you can’t kill them. Either because you died, and they decided to just hit the buildings and end, or you failed to kill them late game when they got stronger. You still can’t kill them. And that’s why you lose. Having a billion dollars in the bank, or 40 kills prior to that, doesn’t change anything. You still cannot kill anybody, or everybody, at the moment. If you jump in, you will either be harmless, or die. 

But you still think DotA is all about when to farm Aghs, and when to not. What your farming item should be. And whether to buy tangos or healing salve. You think the game is about avoiding making mistakes. This is the thinking of weak flat chested incompetent people who were bullied in school, so they decided gaming is the only thing they cannot be embarrassing at despite failing at everything else in life compared to real deal men, who are strong enough, brave enough, to embrace their anger, and be okay with making mistakes in order to improve and get somewhere in life. 

There’s a reason females are highly attracted to “the bad guy”, because he has no problem with making mistakes, so he will never lead a boring mediocre life, where avoiding making mistakes and walking on eggshells is of utmost priority. It speaks to intelligence, and that’s what they want to reward. Natural selection. 

Do not listen to ANYBODY, who tells you the pathway to success, is avoidance of making mistakes. It’s about becoming better. Stronger, smarter, faster, more powerful, more knowledgeable, more intelligent, more skilled, more competent. More, complete. 

The force is strong with you, but you’re not a Jedi yet. ~ Darth Vader 

Ask yourself, can I outfight my enemies. And how can I do so. Always, every single game. If not since early game, at least mid and late game. 

You cannot amount to anything, or get anywhere in life, through excessive inhibition. Through avoidance of making mistakes and walking on eggshells. 

In order to get to the top, you have to fly. 

You will never succeed, as long as you think you don’t matter. You’re not important, even if that allows you to enjoy life more, because you don’t care, or you don’t give a damn anymore. 

You must think to yourself, I wanna succeed at the highest level, in order to attain the bare minimum. 

If you are not important enough, you will have no reason to succeed, to not settle, to not accept the bare minimum in life.

If you’re not important, if you don’t matter, why even try?

Your energy will naturally get drained and depleted, because of such beliefs. And you will never have enough energy to fix your life, much less attain anything extraordinary, if you don’t think you are important enough to deserve what you’re aiming for or trying to accomplish.

Self-esteem is essential for success. You can’t have anything in life without it, even if you wanted to.

Making slow, small, even tiny little progress, consistently on a regular basis, regardless of the quantity, amount, or quality, will always be more than enough. It’s not about getting somewhere because of that. It’s about consistently and continuously making progress, on a regular basis, no matter the outcome. This fixes your mental health, sharpens your abilities, and keeps you in shape, enough to make the big moves, that actually make the big changes happen. 

Most of you think that you need to stay consistent because the overall progress you make over a prolonged period of time as a result of consistently showing up and making tiny little progress on a consistent and regular basis will get you there and make you succeed.

That might be true in some instances, but it’s not the whole picture.

At some point, you’re going to need to make huge leaps and big moves in order to make change happen. In order to make a difference. In order to make serious everlasting progress and significant advancement forward.

That requires a ton of energy and focus. This requires momentum. And you build that momentum, by consistently showing up and making progress, regardless of the quantity or quality of that progress.

You will not have that if you’re inconsistent. You will be out of shape. You will not have what it takes to make those big moves.

It is not about building the habit of consistently showing up on a regular basis. It’s not about slowly getting there steadily over time without even trying, in order to not burn yourself out.

It’s about building enough momentum of progress and change that gives you and provides you with enough reward to be able to operate and perform at your highest level and full potential. You are no longer sand-bagged or slowed down by lack of progress or momentum, and now you have no problem with working longer and harder without getting exhausted, because you no longer feel like no matter how hard or long you work or try, you will never make enough progress to make a difference or see significant impact, improvement, or change in what you’re trying to accomplish or reach.

You have to understand that lack of outcome, progress, significant achievement or accomplishment in and of itself is draining to your motivation and energy, and makes you think, why bother, no matter what I do, it’s too late, I’ll never amount to anything, and I’ll never get there, and I’ll never make it, and I’ll always end up nowhere. Because even if you work at maximum capacity for a whole month or even a whole year, you’ll feel you still have nothing, and still have accomplished nothing, and you’ll never make it, and you’ll never get there.

Momentum and progress, even if attained extremely slowly over a prolonged period of time, will cure and end all of that, and will make trying to make more progress feel like a normal thing to do, that does not drain you, but in fact energizes you, and eliminates the feeling that the tiniest of tasks will always feel like moving mountains in terms of difficulty and challenge. It will end the perpetual belief and sense that no matter what you do or how hard you try, it’ll always be in vain, and you’ll never get anywhere.

All you need is consistent momentum of progress from consistently showing up, regardless of how how you feel, until that happens. And now, you no longer have to settle for breadcrumbs of progress or achievement every session or time you try to work on anything, because you already have the energy, fuel, momentum, motivation, sense of accomplishment, success, reward, and achievement, and intelligence and cognitive abilities to accomplish anything, in one day.

How to deal with players with main character syndrome on your team.

Keep playing as if they don’t exist. As long as they are not dying, they will win you the game at some point. 

Your job is to prepare on the side for when that happens. Make sure they never die in team fights. They will then get ultra kills and end the game. 

Unless intentionally hard griefing the game, these people are your winning condition. They are VERY strong and know what they’re doing, but they are not high immortal or all-knowing. 

I used to think I’ll always lose because of them. Until I saw they delay until they become unkillable. 

You need others to be strong in order to win games. Do not solo carry every single game. Let others do it, and modify the outcome of fights from afar on a carry hero that can step in and still 1 v 9 if your team couldn’t a hundred percent do it on their own. 

I noticed the games that I win have two characteristics. I tend to average 40 to 60 kills and assists with less than 5 deaths, and I have teammates who are all good and strong, even if the enemy team is still better. 

You can’t 1 v 9 with bad teammates. It’s extremely hard and very rare and you must have no counters and space created. Since Crusader, you need all teammates to be good at the game, except maybe the supports. Do not tilt your cores no matter what. 

I’ve seen my cores play 1 billion plus their normal performance the second they think I’m smurfing from top 100. Do not judge until you stomp and reassure them that you have their backs. (As opposed to a clinkz with random kills that lead to nowhere and protects none of your teammates). 

Tip of the day: Always stay behind one of your cores, and ask one of the supports to be with you both at all times. Do not farm miles away from your team and then tp to fights. Unless you have boots of Travel 2, you will always arrive too late. The dead lane concept is everything. Jenkins has an old video about it. It’s the reason why you’re losing in low MMR.
