Women don’t think you’re not worthy of their attention. You’re just intimidating. And they don’t understand yet that it is safe to talk to you.

That’s why they flood our DMs on social media when they don’t know who we are.

You must understand, that if a woman initiates talking to you, and you sucked, for whatever reason, they are now stuck in a situation where they don’t know what to do, and there’s no way out. They still have to get rid of you, and they can’t do that violently, as long as you have not committed anything illegal. It is easier for her to ignore you or treat you coldly, if you initiated first, because that is just a reaction that means stay away from me. Somehow, it is easier for women to reject you from the start after the initial evaluation is over, than it is to go towards you with enthusiasm and an open fun spirit, only to find you totally repulsive for reasons that cannot be uncovered until after she already started talking to you. Now she has to turn back from an unsafe situation with a panic attack, shame, embarrassment, and a potential threat to her life or safety. That’s why if you’re a stranger and good-looking and she wants to talk to you, it will be way easier for her to do so if you give her a safe smile like she’s your daughter, than it is if you give her a lustful smile that indicates you find her hot. She likes the validation from the second smile, but she will not initiate talking to you, because it registers as unsafe, or perhaps even potential danger. Since you’re a stranger, if you really find her incredibly hot, and you were alone together, there’s nothing that could stop you from taking advantage of her against her will, even if she still finds you to be beautiful and worthy of dating. And what if you want to hurt her in other ways? Like overpower her and take her stuff away or something. Or just physically harm her for the love of it because you’re sadistic and were just manipulating her in order to hurt her or get what you want from her at the expense of her. All that has to be factored into consideration.

And all of the above has nothing to do with whether or not she really likes you, or finds you attractive.

And that is why most of you guys say I did everything right in terms of becoming a high value man and everything, and still women won’t approach me, ever.

It is because you want to bypass the safety test entirely, and go straight to am I good enough test first, even if the girl still thinks of you as someone who might yell at her if she said hi or good morning in the wrong tone or something.

Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure, we’re honored by your presence.

You may dispense with the pleasantries, commander. I’m here to put you back on schedule.

You look intimidating and unfriendly, flagged as unsafe in women’s mind on sight. That’s why they are scared to talk to you unless they know you. It is not because women don’t talk to strangers. It’s because women don’t talk to scary people.

Otherwise, you’d be able to talk to a stranger waiting for a bus with you if she sees you as safe and fun and worthy of speaking to. 

I have been working with extremely hot girls in their twenties who never talked to me and talked to everybody else at work, even though I was still the alpha male. 

Once I said the equivalent of hey hey hey, you can talk to me. Talk to me here. Stay with me and tell me what’s wrong and I’ll help. 

I forced her to talk to me for professional reasons UNTIL she realized that she’s ALLOWED to talk to me and I’m safe and will never hurt her and nothing bad will happen to her if she talks to me, and I kept all my words strictly PROFESSIONAL as in what should we do about this or that, and will such and such approach or solution work. 

Same day I started that with her, she couldn’t stop talking to me as if I am her high school buddy. Calling me from afar to ask about random stuff or ask questions. A day before that, she never said good morning, she passed by me LIKE I DON’T EXIST, and never asked me even a professional question even if she could really use my help now. Even if I’m the one guy at work that can solve all her work problems. She never asked for help, advice, or anything whatsoever. She never even bothered talking to me at all, about anything, for years. She sat for hours with me for years in the office without saying a single word FOR HOURS. Not even hi or bye. Like I don’t exist. And I am superior to her (status), and the same cool guy my whole life. I thought she really hated me, or didn’t like me at all and wanted nothing to to do with me as a human being for the rest of her life. I thought there was something wrong with me. Or at least, she thought there was something wrong with me, because she talked to all other men freely and openly without holding back like there’s no tomorrow. As if she was fearless, and super friendly. I was the only guy who was left out.

Now she talks to me like she cannot believe herself that she could talk to me and nothing bad will happen to her. Like I’m her best friend from kindergarten. Like she has known me for years, on the very same first day I decided to initiate talking to her like I was begging her to talk with me normally and comfortably. As in please please you can talk to me why don’t you talk to me please, do it. You can talk to me. It’s okay. You can talk to me. Hey hey I’m here, tell me about it. Please tell me what’s going on I can help you with that.

That violates everything that has been ever said before in human history when it comes to how to talk to women and approach them.

Don’t sound too needy bro. Be cool bro. Maintain your frame bro. If she’s interested, she’ll come talk to you bro.

I sucked on purpose, just to prove a point.

I needed to force myself into the job interview, and then they’ll realize that I’m their guy, and then they’ll hire me on the spot. Not if we need you, we’ll call you.

I have your numbers. ~ Gustavo Fring

She really found herself talking to me against her will, until she realized I was safe.

Let that sink in. Instead of feeling unsafe because I forced her to talk to me, without any violence, but almost by begging, and slightly forcing her to keep talking to me even if she doesn’t understand what’s going on yet, and making her have no choice but to talk to me even if she doesn’t care yet, she felt safe because of that, compared to how safe she felt concerning talking to me, before I ever tried to initiate talking to her.

Did that make her feel safe, but uncomfortable? Forced into a friendly or professional relationship against her will even if she doesn’t want to? Did that make her feel like now she has to talk to me against her will because we’re coworkers even though she hates me or has no interest or respect towards me whatsoever?

No.

After several attempts of this, she couldn’t stop talking to me or wanting to talk to me on her own willingly every chance she gets. Even when totally unnecessary. Even if there’s no real reason to talk to me at all at the moment. Not to mention sitting next to me, getting closer physically to me when seated next to me even if she’s talking to someone else. And randomly expressing her feelings happily, enthusiastically, and energetically, about random stuff unrelated to work, and is totally not related to work in any way shape or form. All on the very first day of the initiation.

She’s now comfortable talking to me, like she has known me for life, more than she ever talked to any other guy at work, since the very first day of me initiating talking to her, not just respectfully as random coworkers, but like she finally found something she’s been looking for her whole life, for the very first time. She could not stop herself from talking to me for the rest of the day on her own, every chance she gets, with maximum friendliness, warmth, enthusiasm, kindness, happiness, care, love, respect, and comfort humanly possible.

She talked to me like she finally found her true love and super hero. Like she’s talking to the strongest Avenger.

STRONGEST AVENGER! ~ Thor

Not gonna lie, I enjoyed it, and I felt alive.

All I did was talk to her. Two minutes.

I did not build any muscle. I did not wear anything different. I did not work on my charisma or game. I did not make any money. I did not level up my social status or my placement in the dominance hierarchy. I didn’t buy a new car. I don’t even have a freaking car.

I just talked to the girl, with disregard to her opinion, come hell or high water, until she saw for herself that I’m her dream guy it would be stupid of her to miss out on having fun with me and talking to me for the rest of her life.

What are you trying to say to me, that I need to build muscle and then all the girls will flood my DMs and come get my number?

No, Neo. I’m telling you when you’re ready, you won’t have to.

All I did was talk to her AGAINST HER WILL until she got the message hammered in her head, that she is allowed to talk to me and I’ll not feel bad if she talked to me for any reason whatsoever. 

I tried that on every single female coworker that I came across or had access to in real life at work so far, even the married ones, and the ones who had a boyfriend who they were in a stable relationship with and weren’t looking for an alternative, and got the same results, every single time. Girl talking to everybody in a super friendly manner for years or months and laughing and everything with no boundaries, except me. All treating me like I don’t exist, before the encounter. Before I decided to talk to her for around two minutes and every chance I can get, until she felt safe.

All showed signs of extreme sexual or romantic interest, and not just friendliness, from the start. Since the very first day, of the encounter. Since the very first day I tried talking to them.

I did not use any pickup lines. I did not use the art of how to get the girl in under two minutes. No special conversation starters, or special tactics to keep the conversation going or flowing until I ask her out or successfully land the date. Nothing about me has changed. I’m already top one percent from the start. It wasn’t because I was a stranger to them or the environment was too unsafe to get to know anyone. We were coworkers for years and I was always a ten out of ten Chad high value man with groundbreaking Charisma, beauty, charm, and irresistible irreplaceable unkillable personality and character. Capable of making women laugh more than Jimmy Carr, stronger than Andrew Tate, Smarter than Jordan Peterson.

As wise as Master Yoda, and as powerful as Master Windu. ~ Anakin Skywalker

Yet they still all didn’t give a damn.

Which means all your theories about why women won’t approach men who are perfect in every way imaginable are all wrong.

They will not talk to you, if you are a really high value man, because your presence is intimidating it gives them paralysis. They can’t handle it. Unless you make them feel safe enough to do so. Not by saying the right words. But by just talking to them with respect and interest until they realize you’re safe, interested, and have no problem whatsoever with talking to them for hours on end every single day for the rest of your life.

I thought women didn’t care that I exist. I had no idea that it was because they were intimidated by my presence. Four years ago any woman who found me hot never stopped flirting with me on her own and all I had to do was smile and laugh until they’re done flirting and talking. Now, there’s presence that was forged throughout the years, that I forgot to factor in, because it never mattered when I was younger. Women are afraid to talk to you, until you show them it’s safe. Do not assume that since she never approached me FOR YEARS, ever, that this means she doesn’t care about me and wants nothing to do with me. You could be her dream guy. Her prince charming. Her super hero. All you need to do, is talk to her, with disregard to her current seemingly low level of interest, until she understands, that talking to you, is not a crime that will get her thrown in jail for life. 

People who are struggling with excessive failure in life because of past trauma need a special approach to getting their life together and growing beyond that. Normal rules and general recommendations won’t work for them and then they will be stuck with a life where they constantly think I’ve tried everything and nothing ever makes any difference. 

If you don’t have fun guaranteed after hard work, you will never be able to work hard towards your goals or fixing your life. You can’t keep pushing yourself forever, even if you have no choice, or it’s the most important thing ever. You need to enjoy yourself after any session of hard work until you start feeling a difference. Until you start enjoying yourself. Until you start to feel good again, because of what you’re doing now to have fun after work, not because of the sense of accomplishment that you have because of what you’ve accomplished today at work or because of making progress in what you were working on earlier today. Not because of making progress, but because you’re starting to feel good again with disregard to making progress. If you tried to have fun for too long but you still didn’t feel good, it doesn’t count. You don’t need a break from work where the mere absence of work is enough. You need to have fun and enjoy yourself and feel good for reasons that have nothing to do with work or your highest calling. If you still feel bad afterwards, it doesn’t count. You need to keep going, until you start feeling good again. All of the above has nothing to do with rest and sleep. For some reason you decided to live a life that is just alternating work and rest, with no having fun or pleasurable activities in between whatsoever. 

He was programmed to be unkillable from the start by the architect. 

Think of it as a moment where his body was self healing and repairing and rewiring everything back to normal, to life. 

Trinity’s kiss was just a coincidence. 

That’s why Morpheus said he is the one. Not thank you trinity you saved his life. 

What would really bake your noodle is, this is what Morpheus meant when he said earlier, no Neo. I’m trying to tell you that when you’re ready, you won’t have to. 

He doesn’t need to dodge bullets, not because he can stop them or freeze them mid-air, but because he cannot die to them, or to any reason whatsoever. 

Why? 

Like Morpheus said, because he is the one. 

He is not bound by rules. 

Rules like gravity, etc. Anything. Which means he is unkillable. 

Watch the fight in Matrix Revolutions and look at how the earth shattered beneath his fall when Smith was flying while pushing his body to the ground at maximum speed. He woke up, and nothing happened to him. 

Our chosen one, unlike that of Star Wars, is unkillable, my friends. 

You think that’s air you’re breathing?

Ask yourself, are my teammates winning on their own? Do they REALLY need me? And if I join every team fight, will I die in every single one of them with zero contribution, but I only showed up to keep them from getting mad/reporting me? 

If not, then you MUST AFK farm until six slotted, pushing the lanes safely as much as humanly possible. Without joining any team fights that are not taking place under your towers. 

And this is ONLY if your teammates are ALREADY winning and stomping on their own early and mid game. 

Even if they think if you were with them, they’ll end the game faster. 

I’d rather delay the win, than try to rush it, and end up feeding several times until we lose BECAUSE I Fed, because I’m position 5 itemless at minute 20 trying to “help” my cores when I’m half their level anyway. 

Sometimes the best solution is to do nothing. 

And you’re not doing nothing. All lanes are pushed because of you, and you will be six slotted like a core late game regardless despite being a hard support squishy crystal maiden. 

You will not die to a herald PA with good farm late game this way. 

DotA now is about cores playing like a support fighting early to mid game, while supports helping from safety and farming all game until they’re ready. Because you were not allowed to touch creeps in the laning phase. 

The enemy is trying to make a comeback, and that come back will not be through farming. It will be through feeding on the squishy supports until they suddenly start winning against your cores for some reason. 

If you disappear during that try hard wanna come back period, you will always win the games you had a good start in as a hard support. 

You still need to ward EVERYWHERE around the map though. 

If your cores never die (and that’s how you know they don’t need you), and you never die, you will always have much higher networth as a team, as opposed to only your safe laner has superior networth but whole team is feeding. And it is extremely hard to lose a game where your whole team has 40k networth ahead of the enemy team, and there are no weak links on your team where they can target during their come back fights. 

You will not climb out of low MMR as a crystal maiden with force staff and glimmer cape, even if you do everything right. It’s not gonna happen. 

Cores, as long as they’re not griefing, or toxic in any way, in a well balanced game, always lose because of weak supports, even if they are not bad supports. 

When I’m core I always lose because everybody else is horrible. But when I’m support, I rarely lose because my cores are weak, it’s because my hero is weak and has no escape. Unless we’re against people boosting, we’re always going to win if I play support like I’m a core, without buying agility carry items or physical damage. But I will be unkillable exactly like the offlaner. 

Now you already know when you’re so chill and relaxed while playing, and you’re not worrying about MMR or winning. You’re only worried about getting reported for not even trying to play well enough for your bracket. 

You are aware of that when it happens. 

You are intentionally not even trying. And that is not a conversation about griefing, because you know you still lose those games because of your teammates. You just didn’t win those games despite garbage teammates. You’re just okay with that for some reason, because you want to chill for the time being, and you can’t sit still and watch a movie. You have to be doing something while trying to chill. You want to play. 

Unless you’re in TI, it is not a grief, because if you’re good enough, and only if you’re good enough, you will still never lose unless your teammates are the sole reason for your defeat. You just got used to always be the one who has to 1 v 9 every single game in order to not lose, so you don’t even recognize when your teammates are game ruiners by nature, especially when you don’t lose despite having them. 

But if you don’t win while playing while you’re running on that low energy mode, you’d understand. 

And you have no problem with it, because deep down you know that if you wanted to win that unbalanced game, you would. You just need to sleep for a couple of hours. 

What you don’t seem to understand is, the games that you still lose despite going all in and trying your absolute hardest, and doing everything in your power to try to win. 

It doesn’t make any sense, to lose those games. 

Just as it doesn’t make any sense to believe that Yatoro is still stuck in guardian on his second smurf account. 

It does not add up. 

And the only explanation for that is, you’re not the same person. 

And I know a lot of you guys play while drunk or stoned or outright brain dead, but that is not what I mean here. 

You are well rested, slept for more than enough, did everything right in terms of energy recovery, and you think you are at your best performance possible because of that. 

You’re not. 

You’re slow. Incredibly slow. 

Not compared to topson, but to your peak self. 

And it’s not because you’re getting old, but because of central nervous system exhaustion. You are depleted. Wiped out. Done, for the rest of the month. And one good night’s sleep will not make up for that. 

According to the algorithm, your peak self is supposed to stomp those games. The algorithm doesn’t understand decline in performance due to fatigue. 

Maybe it does, and that’s why they start to tone down the difficulty of the games a little bit, once you lose several times in a row. But you already lost a ton of MMR, and that tilt and serotonin depletion is bound to impact your performance negatively on its own even if you’re at peak shape. 

The problem is that most of you guys have the time to play at the moment, and you are not tired at all, so you queue up for a ranked game. 

That is a disaster. Explains the rampant account buyer phenomenon we’re struggling with in high immortal. 

Even the Quinn of DotA himself clearly stated that he has to queue pubs for twelve hours a day nonstop just to stay in shape. 

He is not trying to learn DotA or improve. He is just trying to stay in shape. Not decline. 

And that’s why he retired. 

A lot of you take like three days off from DotA, and then jump back in with enthusiasm, and then scratch their head wondering: why am I losing too many games in a row? I did everything right! 

But you were too slow and low energy. 

And yes, they are two distinct factors that negatively impact your performance. 

Exhaustion, and lack of warm-up. Lack of readiness. Not being in top peak shape. 

Exhaustion, is dealt with through rest. But after you come out of that rest, you still need to warm up. And the amount of warm-up you might need to get back in shape might be too heavy enough to bring you back to fatigue in and of itself. That is, by the time you’re fully warmed up and ready, you’re already exhausted, again. By the time you reach your peak performance state and get back in shape, you’re already experiencing burnout and fatigue beyond human comprehension. 

Think of it as in I’m super fast right now, but I’m too tired to do the right thing, so I’ll just join this bad team fight with my teammates, die instantly afterwards, and lose the whole game because of it, DESPITE BEING SUPER FAST IT’S ALMOST CRIMINAL. 

She is going to die, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. ~ The architect 

Think of it as decision fatigue, or letting your subconscious run the show, as if you have no control whatsoever over your actions, even though you are significantly faster now than you were back when you had your full energy. 

Jenkins has a whole video explaining mistakes that keep you low MMR, and while discussing one of them, he explains why and how lack of sleep impacts your performance and action per minute. Orgasmic, to say the least, like all his older videos of the same type, that for some reason he stopped making, because they don’t get as many views as making fun of heralds for a living, or doing talent work, but that does not mean they are still not a source of endless gold that you can still farm to this day, to feed your brain and fuel your understanding of DotA and pretty much anything complex in this world. 

So the paradox is this. How can I warm-up, without the warm-up in and of itself getting you to absolute exhaustion, or too much energy depletion it is now also negatively impacting your performance. 

But if you don’t warmup, you will still suck in terms of skill and readiness. You will be slow. You will play 10 thousand MMR below your current skill level. You will be unrecognizable, to anyone who ever saw you perform at your peak state. 

Someone I can barely even recognize as my own brother. ~ Elijah, The Originals 

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. 

And what adds insult to injury is, even after reaching your peak performance, you are just warmed up, but you can’t use your current power not because of the fatigue that took place during the warm-up, but because of the cumulative fatigue that has been building up for weeks and months prior to that, which can still make you massively underperform, even if you managed to somehow get yourself warmed up this time without any fatigue whatsoever. 

The force is with you young Skywalker, but you’re not a Jedi yet. 

Most of you guys “think” you are performing at full speed humanly possible, when you’re well rested and warmed up to the fullest, but still, if you test yourself against external markers or methods of performance assessment, you will score way below your personal best. Think going to the CSing trainer and missing every single creep even when your personal best record was 3.6k. Now you barely get 2.6k, not when you know you’re tired, but when you think you’re unstoppable and at your best shape ever. 

You think that’s air you’re breathing? ~ Morpheus 

But, there is a way. 

Deload. 

What the hell is that supposed to mean. 

Do less, for a prolonged period of time, until the cumulative fatigue goes away in its entirety. 

Is that all? 

No, there’s a catch, though. You need to become indifferent to losing whenever it feels like any attempts to turn things around and win those unwinnable games is going to consume more energy than you are gaining throughout the dealoading process.

Ask yourself, if I kept going like this, trying to move mountains to win every single destined to be unwinnable game by the algorithm, will I eventually hit burnout prematurely, despite not compromising on sleep and rest in the slightest?

If the answer is yes, then don’t do it.

Anakin, don’t try it.

You underestimate my power. ~ Anakin Skywalker

That, and you still need to warm up. 

Now to solve the process of warming up and staying well rested being mutually exclusive, you need to do the following. 

You need to stop warming up by playing DotA. 

It is impossible. Because even in Unranked, the algorithm is trying to balance the games according to your previous performance. Which means the new games you’re going to get now will be too hard for just warming up and getting back to shape, especially given the fact that people play to win turbo games like their lives depend on it. That is not good for a warm up. That is the workout itself. 

Also keep in mind that Any sudden change in your performance or how good you are gets you smurf Pooled instantly, because it means someone else is sitting on your gaming chair, playing instead of you. According to the system, the guy who played the previous game and this game are not the same. 

Besides, the warm-up has to be done in an environment where you cannot lose, only practice. Like in an empty lobby. You need to activate almost every pathway. As in do the thing uninterrupted a gazillion times in a row, until it comes naturally to you again. You can’t do that while contested. 

Generally speaking, you can’t warm-up and get back to peak shape for DotA through playing DotA. You need to do something else. Even if it meant other video games. Even if it meant play a bunch of League of Legends ARAM mode for a while until you’re fast again. 

Reading books could help. Listening to audiobooks could help. But that makes your brain become faster, not necessarily do things faster. You need something that could be done, as in eSports, or Brain games. Not something that needs to be understood, like reading novels. But everything helps, nevertheless. It just has to be in addition to gaming, not instead of it. And that gaming has to be anything but DotA. Until valve introduces a game mode similar to the Arena mode of Smite. 

Now we’re trying to warm-up here. We’re not trying to run a marathon. You are going to warm-up until you feel fast again. And then test yourself to see if you still can hit or even surpass your previous personal records in anything that you can use to test how fast you are at the moment. Feeling fast enough is not enough. You have to test it out first before you risk losing MMR and then blaming it on the algorithm. 

Tell me you’ve tested it. ~ Shepard N7, to Liara T’Soni, The Shadow Broker DLC 

Now you must understand that your warmup does not get cancelled if you rest afterwards. Which means you are allowed to rest and meditate for as long as you need to until you feel well rested again and at peak energy, it becomes hard to contain yourself and not queue for a ranked game. 

Because this is what peak energy is for. Playing ranked DotA. Nothing else is worth it. Everything else is a distraction. 

Which means, the solution could be simplified as follows, warmup, rest, and then go show those low immortal trashes who’s boss. 

That coupled with deloading, and you will always be at peak shape. 

The difference between before and after deloading is, you will never find yourself well rested, and fully warmed up, but still too slow and bad in every way imaginable, compared to any point of time in your past, where you really felt like you amazed yourself. 

It is called matchmaking rating for a reason. In order to rank up, you have to become like them, one of them. Gaining MMR is not about working hard until you get there. It’s about improving enough, and getting better in every way imaginable, until you deserve to climb.

You think you will just play HARD and win several times in a row and then end up climbing MMR and ranking up. 

Might work for a few games, but will not get you higher than two stars at most. 

Here’s why. 

The algorithm doesn’t want you to climb. 

NOT BECAUSE THE ALGORITHM IS RIGGED. 

But because the algorithm exists to protect people at the top from getting people who don’t belong there to the Best of its ability. 

Think low MMR people complain about smurfs, and high immortal people complain about account buyers. 

Account buyers are simply people who suck, and who don’t belong there, regardless of whether or not they “bought” their account. 

It is a word used by gamers to mean hard noob in my games. How come he is here, he is so bad he must be an account buyer. That’s why valve doesn’t ban them, because there’s no penalty for being bad or hard noob. 

They just send them to where they belong, through mandated losing streaks.

Mandated losing streaks exist to create a barrier between you and any high MMR bracket that you don’t belong to. The further away you are from that bracket in terms of skill, competence, abilities, performance, capabilities, knowledge, speed, and capacity to win games, the longer the losing streaks will be, in order to make sure you never end up getting there by accident.

The matchmaking system exists in order to place you where you belong. 

With people of “similar skill”. 

It is not something that you earn through hard work like a salary or something. 

That’s why you try hard for years to gain MMR, but you’re still stuck in your bracket despite doing everything right. 

You don’t deserve a rank, just because you won a bunch of games in a row. 

You must understand that ranks in DotA and MMR are not things that exist in vacuum. They are not absolute. 

They are all about how good you are in relation to or relative to the rest of humanity playing DotA. 

As in how you compare, to the rest of us. To every single player who ever existed. 

You think that if you win a thousand games in a row in Herald playing only against heralds that you deserve 20k MMR because of that. 

This is how you view MMR. Something like a win percentage. 

But if you take a look at yourself, you are still a herald. Just a herald who won too many times in a row, but still a true herald. 

Why? I’m not trying to discourage you. Compared to Crusaders for example, you are horrible. So the matchmaking system WILL MOVE MOUNTAINS trying to make you never touch Crusader your whole life. Because you don’t belong there. Period. 

That’s why you get an endless losing streak AFTER the winning streak RIGHT BEFORE YOU HIT THE NEW RANK. Right when you are 90 percent away from the next rank. 

The losing streak begins. It is not random. And it is not because of forced 50. 

It is to prevent you from winning a couple more games and then calibrating somewhere higher where you don’t belong. You are not a Crusader. If the unwinnable mandated losing streak games never happened, YOU WILL EVENTUALLY BRUTE FORCE YOUR WAY TO CRUSADER AND SUCCESSFULLY RANK UP. But you are not good enough to be a Crusader. 

To prevent that atrocity from happening, the system takes action and gives you a series of UNWINNABLE GAMES in a row until you end up TOO far away from Crusader to an extent that there’s no chance you can randomly hit Crusader again despite not having what it takes to be a Crusader. 

Winning is not the way to rank up. 

By changing nothing, nothing changes. 

You must understand that the mandated losing streaks will NEVER happen to a high immortal smurf in your bracket, because the system has ALREADY detected that they belong to high immortal. To 12k plus MMR or Rank 500 plus or whatever. From how they play. From what they overcome in games. From who they face and stomp against DESPITE having bad support and bad teammates. From the data and the statistics of everything that takes place in your games. Just like a human being looks at you and says you’re 2k MMR not 9k, the algorithm does the same. It knows you won, but it also knows that you are identical to the average good 2k player, not 9k. There’s nothing in common between you and 9k people. 

I personally tested this. I played like TI players would play in my situation. I won TEN games in a row. That’s a hundred percent win rate, out of ten games, and I’m not smurfing. Each game wasn’t randomly won. It was a one sided stomp 1 v 9 because I played well. Every single one of them. Regardless of teammates. I didn’t get passive wins, I didn’t get smurfs on my side, nothing. All the unwinnable games that I would’ve easily lost in the past, I won them, because I played identical to TI players in every way, but with my own builds and approach to ending games. There’s not a single game that I played like this since then that I have lost, even when I’m tired and underslept. 

Conclusion: the algorithm looks at you, and sees who are you the most close to in terms of everything, and then does one thing. Does not give you unwinnable games throughout your climb. Which makes your climb to wherever you truly belong, inevitable. Just a matter of time. 

What you need to do? 

Improve, and then show the algorithm the new version of you. Play better. Don’t try to win despite being bad. The algorithm has to “see”, that you really have improved. That you really are better now, and you deserve to climb. 

Focus on becoming the best version of yourself humanly possible. Reach your full and highest potential humanly possible first. Learn everything, complete your training. Become all-knowing, and all-powerful first. Improve until you become too good to be held back by any rigged system, or unfairness of any sort. Focus on the constant and never-ending improvement and growth of yourself. It will always be worth it, and it will always be the most important thing ever. It is all about what you are and what you’re capable of, with disregard to your performance, or what you do. Who you are, what you’re capable of, your abilities, and your full potential is all that matters, and is all there is.

It will always pay off. 

When it comes to DotA 2, you are focused on the wrong thing. Which is gaining MMR in order to get higher quality games with less hard noobs that you lose the game always because of.

So you grind hard trying to gain MMR just to get out of the trench, not to become better as a person, or as a player. Nothing within you or about you has changed.

I can’t help but notice that WHENEVER the system gives me easy people on both sides, I ALWAYS feed hard and it becomes 40/0/96 KDA, and win, get the MVP, and get a Rampage. 

Hard or unbalanced games are just pure labor and work. You may win them against all odds, but if you lose them, it doesn’t matter. Winning these games will not make you BETTER AT THE GAME. 

If you ONLY focus on being unreal at the game, unstoppable in every way, IT WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER than focusing on winning BECAUSE I NEED THE MMR TO CLIMB IN ORDER TO GET BETTER GAMES. 

I, made the mistake in the past of believing that since there’s nothing I can do to win unwinnable games, it is pointless to improve. I was wrong. I’m noticing all the stuff that I improved upon now ALWAYS pays off the second I get 9 people who ACTUALLY belong to low MMR (not low immortals and beyond, which is rare). 

But these games exist. AND YOU WILL ENJOY THEM. 

Look how easy this is! ~ Zquixotix, to me 

Make sure to practice the thing until it becomes natural to you it can always be done even under stress and tilt and survival mode. 

It is not that winning those easy or balanced games will make you gain MMR. 

It’s that these games are THAT easy for you now, because of how far you’ve come in your training! How much you’ve improved compared to last year! 

In the past YOU STILL LOST A TON OF THOSE EASY GAMES BECAUSE OF BAD TEAMMATES. And it was entirely their fault. 

But now, you stomp them, because your skills are complete. 

Indeed, you are powerful as the emperor has foreseen. 

The question becomes, how far can I go? What does the full version of my full potential look like? If I thought I peaked last year, and that turns out to be a good herald compared to me now, how far can I go, improve, get better, grow, and amaze myself even further? 

And is there a limit to that in the first place? Do I even have an upper limit beyond which there is no further improvement humanly possible? Or is it unlimited? 

Unlimited power! ~ Darth Sidious 

Part of my disagreement with Zquixotix back in the day was about the fact that he believed it only matters if I do the right thing CONSISTENTLY every single game until I climb out of the trench I’m stuck in. 

But I thought that doesn’t matter. I needed to complete my training, become literally all-knowing, and then I can worry about applying what I learned in game. Because then I will know what the solution is, and I will know I lost all those games because I didn’t apply it. Maybe because I didn’t get enough sleep last night. 

But if I suck, no amount of consistently getting eight hours of sleep every single night would make me gain MMR, because I’m already bad at the game and I don’t have what it takes. So why bother trying to still do everything right every single game even though I know if I did everything right according to my knowledge, skill, abilities, and level at the moment, I will still lose every single game for other reasons. 

But you need to apply those fundamentals every single game, regardless. 

BSJ has the same problem. I now think it’s an NA problem. Their schooling or whatever have managed to make them not care about the outcome, as long as they tried their best to win and did everything right. That’s why they have 8th place trophies. 

They don’t understand losing. They have been subjected to heavy gaslighting when they were still younglings to make them perceive any loss as a win. And believe there’s no such thing as failure. And then they turn around and have the audacity to call me delusional. It’s an American problem. If people can be told something is blue when clearly it’s red, they can always be controlled and remain plugged in happily into the matrix for the rest of their lives, all while thinking they are the ones trying so hard to destroy it and free others from its shackles. 

To them, there are no external circumstances. No external causes or factors that can influence the outcome. It’s all mindset. It’s all in your head. And then they brainwash the head until the indoctrination becomes normal and you can only perceive reality the way the people in control want you to perceive it. You don’t see what is, you only see what the system told you you were supposed to see. 

Everything is your fault. Take one hundred percent responsibility for EVERYTHING. All tools for manipulation to keep victims under control, and keep the masses in check. In short, if you’re poor, you suck and it’s one hundred percent your fault, EVEN WHEN IT ISN’T. Because to them, reality itself doesn’t matter. Your perception of it, that keeps you a happy slave to the matrix, does. 

Guard that twisted perception of reality with your life. It is all that matters. Don’t listen to people complaining about anything. There is no problem in the external world and everything is perfect. Ideal 5. They just have a negative mindset that is making them a loser. A failure in life. It is all their fault. The system is not rigged. 

Nevertheless, the only way out of the matrix is for you to become all-powerful, they can no longer control you. 

The only way to break free from the matrix, is to become the one.

The only way out of the matrix is to complete your training and reach your full potential.

The only way to defeat the control of the matrix and the system over your life, is to become the chosen one, The Anomaly. To become as powerful as Neo himself at his full potential and prime.

It’s him, the anomaly. Do we proceed? Yes. Remember, he is still, only human.

The only way out of the matrix, is to understand, that there are no rules for winning. You don’t win by doing everything right. You win by becoming too powerful for the system to keep you under control, even if they wanted to. 

Come on, get out of there. ~ Trinity 

The DotA 2 International is the best thing you can ever watch. No movie can compete with that.

I had a brain orgasm watching Shiro 1 v 9 against team falcons in Road to TI day 3. 

I saw the entirety of TI, not just that. The games are extremely good and worth watching even in the road to TI, not just the grand finals. 

The thing is, many of you guys say they like to watch DotA, but they no longer play the game. 

I HATE watching DotA. I ONLY enjoy playing the game. 

Because when I watch most of you guys, even rank top 50 EU ranked pubs, I get brain damage. 

They ARE better than most people below them in MMR, substantially. 

So you can think to yourself, imagine there’s worse than that. 

Why would ANYONE enjoy watching this, but not enjoy PLAYING the game. 

I’m gonna enjoy, watching you die, Mr. Anderson. ~ Agent Smith 

That I cannot understand. 

Until I watched TI. 

You have to understand that DotA, just like ANY sport, is boring to watch, and only fun to play. 

So for all who watch streamers for hours on end every day, I don’t know what to say. 

I’m speechless. 

Despite all this, TI games were so good, they look like Avengers movies. Extremely exciting and fun to watch, just like a lightsaber duel with count Dooku. 

It’s unreal. 

I’d rather watch TI fights than movies from now on if you ask me. 

There’s no need to watch movies when TI exists. 

And that is NOT because DotA is fun to watch. It’s because TI professional players ARE EXTREMELY GOOD AT THE GAME AND FIGHTING, AND EXTREMELY FUN AND EXCITING TO WATCH IT’S ALMOST CRIMINAL. 

It is the players that make it worth watching. 

And you guys say current pro players aren’t good as the ones who owned and dominated in the past. 

They are not the same. THEY ARE SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER. FAR BETTER THAN PLAYERS IN THE PAST EVER WERE. 

I have seen the OG TIs. And the Yatoro TIs. 

They were.. fine, compared to today’s TI. 

I have never found myself rewinding the same single fight like fifteen times in a row just to understand what happened. Just to follow what’s going on. Because of how exciting the fight was. 

Never happened, until Quinn retired. Until last TI. 

For those of you thinking the hay day of the international is long gone. A thing of the past. You don’t know what you’re talking about. 

The international is not dead. It’s just getting started. 

Everything before last year doesn’t count. 

The best TI of all time was TI 2025. I’m sorry if you guys didn’t notice that, because it was too fast for you to notice what’s going on or how unbelievable every single move in every single fight was. 

To all TI kids competing in TI hard like their lives depend on it, you have my respect. 

You have my respect, Mr. Stark. ~ Thanos 

You must join me, Shiro, and together we can rule the international as safe laner and mid. 

I’ll never join you! 

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

Why you will never get out of low behavior score hell in DotA 2, no matter what you do, or how hard you try.

The default main priority of behavior score is not to fight toxicity. 

It’s to fight game ruining behavior. 

In other words, did your teammates LOSE the game BECAUSE OF YOU? 

If not, you’re exonerated. 

Oh my God, Linken Borroughs is a free man. ~ The governor’s daughter, prison break 

You think it’s about whether or not you got reported. It is not. You can still gain behavior score despite getting reported MORE than the previous update, which you lost behavior score despite getting reported less than the current one. 

For a simple reason. You did not grief your games. 

You had the intention of winning, and you actually tried hard to make that happen, not just wanted to but did your absolute best trying to not lose the game. 

Key point here. You don’t have to win. You just have to not try to lose. Your contribution towards your team’s defeat has to be zero or as close to zero as humanly possible. 

In other words, you lost ENTIRELY because of your teammates. 

The system then invalidates all reports against you, and gives you better teammates next game. Which might look like forced 50, from a certain point of view. 

A certain point of view? ~ Luke Skywalker 

Everything I said earlier is true for the main pool only. 

If you are below 300 games, you are going to experience the most absolute worst games humanly possible, the absolute worst human experience in all space time. Pure torture nonstop. Even if you’re above 9k behavior score. 

For a simple reason. The system has no idea who you are. 

This is like not getting lucky on your first date, or the second, or the third, because “she doesn’t know you yet”. 

In this case you might find that 9k is indistinguishable from 4k behavior score in every way. 

Hang in there, do not think to yourself “behavior score doesn’t matter so I’ll actively try to ruin it” yet. 

Because this is only until you hit the main pool. 

Hitting the main pool will feel like when your main character in Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion finally makes it out of jail and his head emerges above the water for the very first time in a long while. 

Nothing compares to the open sea. ~ Sindbad 

All you need is Get calibrated. Get your first rank. Quit ranked DotA for a while. And then play unranked only, until you hit the main pool. Everything will be different. Normal, if you ask me. Balanced. Playable. 

Ask yourself, why does the guy who breaks his items and runs down mid repeatedly to feed gets a huge overwatch penalty instantly afterwards regardless of why he decided to do it?

Because he is a griefer.

Because he fed.

Say it in legal terms please.

Ahem, it’s because he has clearly demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has no intention whatsoever to win this game.

And what he did was the highest and most certain way of establishing that lack of intention towards winning the game as an unshakeable fact.

Exactly.

It is not because he was trying to piss you off. It’s not because he was annoying. It’s not because what he did was toxic and caused you pain.

It’s because what he did made your chances of winning this game substantially lower. In other words, you are likely going to lose the game because of what he did.

On the other hand, if you always move with the team, fight hard only when they decide to fight, and cast all your spells in a genuine attempt to win this fight, you will never lose behavior score, even if you lose the whole game and everybody ends up reporting everybody. Because that registers as good team coordination, that you actively participated in, to the best of your ability.

Now the problem most of you run into is thinking I’ll say nothing in chat, pick a support, fly under the radar, and then I’ll get reported less, and then I’ll climb. 

It’s not going to work, because you have not demonstrated that you had any intention of winning those games. 

You were just “not doing anything wrong or toxic”. But you weren’t doing anything right either. 

What I’m trying to tell you here that getting a rampage cancels all reports against you. As opposed to I bought the right support items and I pulled the lane. I didn’t grief. 

You died 0/19/6 on Crystal Maiden. If you get reported that’s a death sentence. EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T GRIEF, INTENTIONALLY. 

Because you ruined the game. 

The system will slowly but surely make sure you end up herald IV with 4k behavior score in no time. 

Rule number one: Don’t die. 

Rule number two: Follow rule number one. 

I’m a man of my word. ~ Joker 

In order to gain behavior score, you have to pretend to care. And do everything right, even if you’re right about being tilted. That is for reports. You report everybody else in the lobby. But that should not affect your gameplay. 

Get out there and fight, to death. No matter the cost. 

That’s why there’s no surrender button. 

That’s why you couldn’t destroy me. ~ Luke Skywalker 

You think they look at instances of grief and toxicity and punish you accordingly. 

No, they are looking at you and asking themselves: is this guy the reason why his team is losing? Is it his fault? Did he contribute to the loss at all? Could he have done anything about it? Did he ruin the game or the chances of his team winning the game at all? 

Don’t focus on minimizing toxicity. Focus on winning all games, even the unwinnable ones. 

Even the scary ones? 

Especially the scary ones. ~ Thomas Wayne 

Are you trying to say to me that all I need to raise my behavior score is to get good bruh, and stomp hard every single game even if it’s unwinnable? 

I’m trying to tell you, that when you’re 12k behavior score, you won’t have to.
