Embrace the forbidden.

Your reluctance to shred your enemies to pieces, is why you never gain MMR in DotA 2.

When I get angry, I get a rampage. 

You just let them end bro be PMA let’s go next. 

We’re not the same. 

I cannot unsee this. 

For smurfs, it feels like they’re farming rampages like it’s inevitable when you’re stomping. 

I’ve had like 1.5k MVPs lifetime, but rampages? They are like a couple dozen if you know what I mean. 

I’ve stomped countless games before. More than I can count. I’ve won an endless amount of UNWINNABLE GAMES. Where my teammates lost hard all game long, the score is 74 – 13, and the enemy team were pushing high ground to end. 

I have done that. 

And my biggest quest was, can I extend that, from my handful of main heroes, to other carries? Can they do the same, be as powerful? 

And the answer was yes. Every single agility hard carry can do it. Even after they removed the facets. 

So I trained, hard. Until I noticed that, when I’m like I’m done with those kids I’m gonna show them who’s boss, I pick from my new hero pool, not my main old ones. Subconsciously, not strategically. And it became easy for me. 

I discovered years ago that once a Grandmaster on a certain hero, always a Grandmaster in the whole game of DotA, perhaps even League as well. All you need is just practice, until you no longer have no idea what is going to happen once you randomly jump in to fight to save your teammates. 

Yes, I know how to play Sven, but I wonder what’s gonna happen if I jump on this guy this way and attack him. What will happen? Will I get stunned? Kited? Will it work? How long does it take me to kill him? And what happens next if I survive? 

Experience, even if you know how to play the hero. Even if you know how the hero works. 

And you don’t need to achieve grandmastery on every single hero. You are already a Grandmaster. You just need to practice the other heroes, until you extend that same level of grandmastery to them. 

It didn’t take me years. It took a few months. 

But it did happen. And I’m proud of it. 

I finished DotA, so to speak. And I no longer need MMR. Because I can always get it. Because of who I am. It’s just a matter of time. 

But a rampage? You don’t need a rampage to win every single game. Even if I’m in Herald III, I have no reason ever, to aim for a rampage. It’s very hard, and you will overextend and die trying to get it anyway. And you only lose easy games when you die. 

But I noticed something. When the enemy pushes it too far, like there’s no tomorrow. I, then, get a RAMPAGE. Unplanned, unpremeditated, unexpected. 

I did not ask for it, aim for it. It just happens. Because I wanted to destroy my enemies. 

But they have to push it too far. They have to be immoral, to an extent that makes them deserve it. 

The thing is, I will never get it if I’m chill and the game is so normal paced you can AFK farm your way into victory peacefully. 

When you are angry, you make mistakes. You shut down. You let them end. You give up. 

I, get a rampage. 

Because I know how to use my anger, rage, hate, and fear, to become more powerful. 

If you only knew the power, of the dark side.
