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.
