The matchmaking system is rigged. 

The behavior scoring system is rigged. 

The balance of heroes is rigged towards easy wins for smurf heroes like meepo, tinker, invoker, antimage, etc. 

Smurfs are intentionally grouped together on the enemy team every single game instantly after you stomp hard in whatever bracket you’re in. They never balance the game by giving you noobs and placing skilled players from your bracket on enemy team. They actively look for smurfs with one of the most powerful and fast search engines of all time actively and intentionally trying to find SMURF ACCOUNTS AND MAP HACKER ACCOUNTS to place on the enemy team every single game. To flatten your win rate, by any means necessary.

These are all facts. 

The question is, do we leave our game to its fate? 

Or we do something about it?

The choice is yours. 

The reason why you are failing in life or at anything, no matter what you do or how hard you try, is because success did not take place yet. It did not happen, and that’s why you’re failing. Not that there’s something wrong with you, or your approach, method, formula, or strategy. You just need to succeed. Nothing will ever work, until you succeed, no matter what. Your obsession with modifying your approach and fixing what you think you did wrong or has caused your failure, is why you’re failing. Your obsession with getting it right this time, when it comes to how to succeed, your approach, or strategy, is why you will never succeed. The only formula for success that works is succeeding. Is reaching your goals, and making it happen. The only strategy for success that always works, is success. Anything else is just noise.

There’s no formula for success. There’s only, success. If you’ve tried everything, and still didn’t get any results, it’s not because nothing works. It’s because you didn’t succeed. It’s because you haven’t attained success, yet. It’s because you didn’t make it this time. Only getting to your objective, makes a difference. 

Only the outcome, makes you successful. 

There’s no formula for success. There are only solutions to current problems, struggles, and needs. There are only things that make a difference. Otherwise, nothing whatsoever will ever change. No matter what you do, or how hard you try, even if you did everything right. 

You still didn’t attain or reach the intended outcome. That’s why you failed. It has nothing to do with your strategy, or what you did in order to get there. It has nothing to do with the formula or method that you chose to follow or implement, in order to succeed. 

It just did not happen. 

Then what should we do about it? Give up because nothing ever works?

No. The solution is to make it happen, by any means necessary. 

All your life you’ve been in a cage, Padawan. When you are ready, break free. – Darth Malgus

Aim for attaining absolute mastery, on a new hero, not winning, and all your MMR pressure problems will be solved. You’ve done it before on a certain hero, or a handful of heroes. But have you done that, on every single hero? That’s what’s keeping you up restless all night long, not MMR gain. Leave no hero behind. Master every single one of them, and then we can talk about MMR.

Stop chasing the high of MMR, or winning in general. 

It does not lead to anything permanent. 

Only mastering a new carry hero, and learning how to own with that hero, in a way that makes you look and say, I amaze myself, truly matters. 

This is why you don’t gain MMR. You’re autopilotting on your single main hero, or 3 heroes, and you’re BORED. So you don’t perform at your best. And that’s why you lose. 

Wondering when will you ever play on that hero 1 v 9 easy and shred your enemies to pieces like you used to. Why isn’t it happening again. What’s wrong with me. 

Nothing. 

You already proved your point. You already surpassed Yatoro on that hero in every way imaginable. 

You don’t want to repeat that ad infinitum, until you hit 17k MMR, or high immortal. 

You want to transfer that power, that mastery, to other heroes. 

You feel like you’re disowning yourself when you do. 

Like you decided, if you can’t beat them, then it’s better to join them. 

But the only time you feel something new has finally happened, is when you realize you were stuck with the wrong heroes all your life, for when you have tried the new hero, you have felt more powerful than you’ve ever been before. 

That is the purpose of life. That is, DotA. 

Power does not lead to evil. Weakness does. You cannot reach your full potential, or access your highest and full potential, powers, abilities, intelligence, intellect, skills, talents, creativity, and capabilities, while remaining exclusively on the light or good side.

You can only reach your highest, and fullest potential, powers, abilities, intelligence, skills, talents, capabilities, wisdom, speed, and creativity, and become the best, highest, strongest, smartest, and fastest, and most powerful, intelligent, and capable self, or version of yourself, or level of yourself, when and only when, you succumb to, use, resort to, utilize, embrace, rely upon, trust, and fuel yourself with the full power of the dark side, including using your hate and anger, or summoning your hate and anger, in order to become more powerful and reach and achieve your full potential and highest abilities, powers, capabilities, talents, strength, speed, intelligence, creativity, wisdom, potential, and power, no matter what.

Using your anger and hate to become more powerful is not evil. It is not wrong. It is not immoral, or bad. It is not forbidden. There’s nothing wrong with it.

There’s nothing wrong with using anger or hate to become more powerful.

It is what makes you a true Jedi Grandmaster.

If a Padawan was to try to do the same, they would be out of control, and then they would do evil, and then they would fall easily to the dark side, just like what happened with Anakin. 

That is why fear, anger, and hate were forbidden. 

Unless you are a Jedi master. 

They are not the dark side. 

You use both interchangeably all the time. 

You say it is forbidden or wrong to tap into the dark side by using your anger and hate to become more powerful. It is not.

If you are a Jedi master, you can do so without falling to the dark side. You will only become more powerful, but under control. 

If you are lesser than a master, you will mess up, and kill master Windu by mistake, fail miserably, and end up trapped in the dark side for the rest of your life. 

The Jedi teach the discipline part first as the foundation, for you will always mess up the true power part, if you’re not strong enough in the force, to control such power, once you have it. 

What does it mean, something is good?

It means, it is allowed.

What does it mean, something is evil?

It means, it is forbidden. Not allowed.

So, if someone was to be considered a good person, it means he only does what is allowed, according to the moral code he believes in and follows.

And if someone is to be considered evil, it means he does what is forbidden. What is bad. What is wrong. What is immoral, or forbidden.

When you do something too much, you become what you do, because it affects you in the long-term.

On that we agree.

The problem lies within the belief that you can either do only evil, purely and exclusively, or do good only, purely and exclusively.

You are either purely and exclusively either absolutely good, or evil.

We developed a frontal lobe to free ourselves from that.

And yet, through lack of training, and constant sense of exhaustion, we rarely use it, unless to decide what to eat for dinner.

Religion, over millenia, has extensively demonized usage of the frontal lobe, under any circumstances, and associated it with Satan and pure evil. With absolute immorality and eternal fires of hell. Anything that has to do with having a frontal lobe, using a frontal lobe, and the very existence of your frontal lobe, is now the enemy, is now pure evil and immoral, according to traditional religion.

In order to control you, religion has to remove the only part that can resist that control out of you, your frontal lobe, your control center. Since you now have no control over yourself, now you will have no issue or hesitation whatsoever to surrender to the control of religion.

Now, why am I telling you this?

Religion in and of itself is pure evil and immoral. Designed specifically to destroy you and your humanity, and everything that is good, intelligent, and beautiful about you, and the universe.

You have core values. You know what’s important to you. What truly matters to you.

Now in order to protect, and live in alignment with those core values, what’s important to you, and what truly matters to you, you have to reach your full potential.

And you cannot reach your full potential, without embracing the full power, of the dark side.

I do not fear the dark side as you do. – Anakin Skywalker

I sense fear in you young Skywalker. You have hate, you have anger, but you do not use them. – Count Dooku

You don’t know the power of the dark side. – Darth Vader

Doing things that go against your core values, what matters, and what’s important to you, is what you should avoid.

Otherwise, there’s no such thing as good or evil, right or wrong, moral or immoral.

The good side has things demonized and considered to be the enemy and the forbidden dark side, for one reason. Control.

Not control over you, like religion, but fear of you losing control, of yourself, over yourself, until you do what you regret for the rest of your life.

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. – Master Yoda

All crimes committed, by a being powerful in the force, are committed when that entity is consumed by feelings of fear, anger, and hate, and has lost control of itself because of that, and then when they became out of control, they became irrepressible, and pure evil. At least that is true, according to Master Yoda.

There is no absolute good or bad, right or wrong, good or evil, moral or immoral. It’s about your goals and objectives, and what you want to accomplish. What you want to make happen and come to being. According to your moral code, your core values, what matters to you, and what’s important to you.

On your way to accomplish that objective, of getting or reaching what you want, nothing is forbidden. Nothing is wrong, immoral, evil, or bad.

Being purely good or exclusively good means you’re restricted when it comes to your approach to getting there, to getting to your objective, whatever that objective is.

People who embrace the power of the dark side will always be more powerful than you, because they are not held back by what’s wrong, immoral, bad, evil, or forbidden. They have the freedom to do what they want, and do whatever it takes, to get to their objective, by any means necessary.

I’m not here to tell you become a bad person. I’m trying to show you that a lot of what is considered wrong, bad, evil, immoral, or forbidden, is considered so for reasons that have nothing to do with reality, good, evil, morality, or what’s best for you, others, and the entire universe.

It’s fear of the dark side, that has led them to that conclusion. Phobia, of the dark side, and losing control of oneself.

You should be a monster. An absolute monster. And then you should learn how to keep it under control. Not cruel, but capable of cruelty. Otherwise, you are not a good person. There’s no goodness in you. You’re just harmless. – Jordan B. Peterson

The dark side is not the enemy. Anger and hate are not the enemy. 

Anger, is not a sin. It’s not evil, immoral, bad, or wrong. So is hate. There’s nothing wrong with hate, or Anger, if they exist for valid reasons, according to your core values, moral code, what matters to you, what’s important to you, and what you care about.

The extra mile here is, are you willing to use them, to become more powerful, or just settle for keeping them under control, in order to not lose control over yourself and do evil things.

See, the difference here is in the fact that others are just telling you it’s okay to be angry. You’re human, don’t deny, suppress, disown, or invalidate your feelings. But you have to stay in control.

These people have no experience. What they’re saying is just philosophical and theoretical. They don’t know the power, of the dark side.

The problem with you and them is that you don’t understand that evil always stems from and arises from, and is always born as a result of being in a position, situation, or state of weakness, powerlessness, helplessness, and incompetence. Lack of ability. Skill issue. Not being good enough. Not being powerful enough. Not being strong enough. Not being capable enough. Not having what it takes. Not being able to get what you want, despite seemingly doing everything right.

Using the dark side of the force protects you from all that.

Embracing the full power of the dark side protects you from all of that. For you will not be forbidden from accessing your highest powers, abilities, and full potential, in your state of maximum anger, hate, or fear. Your hate and anger, and your dark sided tendencies and emotions, will only serve as fuel to become more powerful, and to reach and unlock your full potential and abilities. Your hate and anger will only serve as a means to unlock, access, and reach your full potential, powers, abilities, skills, talents, creativity, intelligence, and full potential. Becoming the best and highest and most capable version and state of yourself ever possible and humanly imaginable.

You are not distracted by trying to keep your anger, fear, and hate, under control. You are unleashing your full potential, because of them.

You cannot achieve your full potential, without embracing and using the full power, of the dark side, including anger and hate, to reach and achieve your full potential, abilities, powers, intelligence, and highest and most capable self, and become more powerful than you could ever imagine or thought possible, while still remaining totally in and under control. That is true Grandmastery.

You cannot become, access, or reach the fullest, best, highest, and most powerful and capable version of yourself, without the dark side. Without using anger and hate to become more powerful. Without having no fear of the dark side, or using the dark side, to become stronger, faster, more powerful, more motivated, more focused, creative, capable, resourceful, and competent. Better, faster, smarter, more intelligent, and wiser. You cannot become the fastest version of yourself, and the most powerful, best, strongest, most intelligent, and capable version of yourself, without the full power of the dark side, including using hate and anger, to become more powerful, and reach and unlock your full potential.

You cannot achieve, reach, get to, or become your highest self ever, with the highest abilities, powers, intelligence, intellect, skills, talents, creativity, capabilities, speed, wisdom, and potential ever possible for you to reach and achieve, ever in the entire existence, without the full power of the dark side, including using hate and anger, in order to become the highest, best, and most powerful version of yourself possible, and humanly imaginable, and reach your full potential, and self with the most and highest abilities, powers, potential, capabilities, intelligence, speed, strength, flexibility, creativity, and everything there is that you need to become the best and highest and most powerful and capable version of yourself possible in terms of potential and ability. No matter what.

The best version of yourself, possible, in every way there is. Where you will be most calm, most in control of yourself. Most level-headed. Much More in control of yourself. It is being exclusively on the good side that is making you weak, because it is making you helpless and incapable. Incompetent. Not good enough. Not strong enough. Not fast enough. Not motivated or energetic enough. Not focused enough. You will have no reason to keep fighting. To keep pushing. To persist. To be unstoppable. Because you’re trying to be a good person. You’re holding yourself back. You do not want to destroy your enemies, crush them, and reach what you want. Get what you’re after. You want to use skill, speed, and training, to get there peacefully, without ever getting angry or aggravated along the way. Without losing your calm or cool. While staying slow and under control. While pacing yourself and never going all in. You cannot go all in, unless you’ve had enough. Unless you’re done. Unless you hate them. Unless you’re raging. And it’s time to unleash. It’s time to make it stop, it’s time to end it, once and for all; all the reasons for your suffering, all that is holding you back, from being where you truly belong, from being and getting what you truly desire and deserve. You cannot become unstoppable, unless you’re angrier than your enemies.

There’s anger that leads to weakness and loss of thought and control, and there’s anger that makes you better, stronger, and faster. More focused, more determined, sharper, faster. More intelligent, more creative, more resourceful. More competent, more powerful, capable, and skilled. More talented, and capable, of doing anything. Unstoppable. Faster than you could ever imagine possible. We want the second type of anger, not the first one.

Anything other than that, will only lead to the full consumption by the dark side, until you become a servant of evil, instead of using it, to accomplish your objective.

Again, you can never, and I mean NEVER, reach your full potential, unless you embrace and use your anger, fear, and hate, and full power, of the dark side, no matter what.

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

Remember when Count Dooku said, you must join me Obi Wan, and together, we will destroy the Sith! 

Sith lie all the time, in order to make you join them. 

Just like when Palpatin said I’ll help you save padme. 

Using your anger and hate is not dark sided. It does not make you on the dark side at all. 

Doing evil things does not make you more powerful. 

Anakin defeated count Dooku when he was a Jedi, and was evenly matched with Obi Wan when he was a Sith. 

Again, using anger and hate to become more powerful is not dark sided. 

It is all what being a true Jedi Grandmaster is all about. 

If a Padawan was to try to do the same, they would be out of control, and then they would do evil, and then they would fall easily to the dark side, just like what happened with Anakin. 

That is why fear, anger, and hate were forbidden. 

Unless you are a Jedi master. 

They are not the dark side. 

I see you use both interchangeably all the time. Tap into the dark side by using your anger and hate to become more powerful. 

If you are a Jedi master, you can do so without falling to the dark side. You will only become more powerful, but under control. 

If you are lesser than a master, you will mess up, and kill master Windu by mistake, fail miserably, and end up trapped in the dark side for the rest of your life. 

The Jedi teach the discipline part first as the foundation, for you will always mess up the true power part, if you’re not strong enough in the force, to control such power, once you have it. 

Why you never gain behavior score in DotA 2, despite doing everything right, no matter what you do, or how hard you try.

You think spamming a support and flying under the radar is the only way to gain behavior score. 

You’re wrong. 

You will lose, and die to enemy cores easily late game if the game is unbalanced. Even if through no fault of your own, you will get reported, and lose behavior score, despite not griefing, despite doing everything right.

Behavior score is not actually a toxicity issue. 

It is a skill issue. More than MMR gain. 

You can argue that MMR gain is now a behavior score issue, as in the less toxic you are, the more likely you will maintain a forced 55 win rate, not just forced 50. 

For those who have a forced 40 win rate, it’s a toxicity issue, according to the current system, EVEN if you didn’t grief. 

Didn’t join high ground defence detected. Minus 500 behavior score. Griefer. 

But I needed a BKB. 

Couldn’t care less. 

Go there, and soak some damage, so the crystal maiden ulti can kill some people. 

But to gain behavior score on the other hand, you can’t just say but I was not toxic! 

This is like complaining about getting bullied too much in prison despite being a ray of sunshine and a beautiful harmless snowflake that never says no to anyone. 

You are being reported by toxic people, not normal people. 

The only way to get out of low behavior score, is to stomp. Hard. On your best carry. 


That is, get a RAMPAGE on a Spectre, or antimage, or something. 


A RAMPAGE. 


Make enemies die like flies and ants. Show them the true nature of the force.

No one on your team will ever report you. No one on the enemy team will report you. 

They want to die. They are mentally ill. They love it. 

That is not normal. 

Even if they think you must be a smurf. 

They are honored to get stomped by Topson. 

They have no issue, or problem with that, whatsoever. 

In fact, they really love it. 

Stomp hard, and you will get ZERO reports, and also get showered with commends by the enemy team before your team, even before you commend any of them. 

It is the only way. 

All reports against you will get invalidated, if you receive any. 

However, don’t AFK forever, until six slotted, and then show up to end. That is considered grief, even if you win. Overwatch don’t watch whole game from start to finish like they’re watching TI. Only a tiny segment of AFK, and then they say yes, guilty for griefing. 

Get a good farm, like 80 CS, at 10 minutes. 

And then show up to an empty lane. Shove it, and then farm the big camp. 


You may die to four people, you may die to three people, you may die to two people. But we’re not going to die to anything less than that. – BSJ


Keep farming aggressively and pushing towers, like there’s no tomorrow, away from team, and kill anyone that stands in your way. 

But you said join all team fights? 

Again, that is not AFK farming. That is map control, pushing towers and space creation. Those who tp teleport to stop you will die, or you’ll escape if need be, and now your team is fighting likely 4 versus 3. Not too much for them to handle, not too overwhelming. Not grief, from your end. 

Start then chasing people around the map for solo kills, like it’s a nightmare. 

This isn’t a formula for gaining MMR. In ranked, you do whatever it takes to win, not a certain formula that always works. Sometimes AFK farming is the only way out of low MMR, even if for 30 minutes. 

You have to win every single game in Unranked, whether turbo or whatever, or die trying, as a carry, in order to get out of low behavior score. 

That has been tested. It works, I know.

It is called match quality, positive. You didn’t grief. You didn’t die. Your team didn’t lose because of you. 

In ranked, you care about MMR. You will play conservative, in order to protect the win. 

You will not join braindead team fights, and feed with your hard noob teammates. 

In unranked, you could, and you should. 

And for that, you need to get good. 

The reason why most of you guys are stuck in low MMR in DotA 2, is you’re obsessed with winning through training, through improvement, through skill. You will always lose to people who just want to win, despite being inferior to you in every way there is. Your obsession with improvement and getting better is why you lose.

No more training do you require. Already know that which you need. – Master Yoda

I realized recently that I have a literal one hundred percent win rate against any kind of team REGARDLESS of what’s happening on my team or enemy team, no matter who is on my side, or the other side, whether in ranked or UNRANKED. 

But there’s a caveat to that. 

Only when I’m ANGRY. Only when I decide to show them. Only when I do my absolute best. Only when I go all in, as if Yatoro is on the other side, not just a bunch of low MMR hard noobs. Not my absolute best, but you know, at least 80 percent of my capacity. 

When I was Yatoro’s age, I was like a literal peasant compared to him at his age. 

He won TI twice, and got RAMPAGES in freaking TI at the age of 21 and below. 

That’s a youngling to me. A literal Jedi youngling.

Impressive. I couldn’t do that when I was at his age, or even 12 years later. I am not saying he’s normal. That is super amazing.

Natural talent, was not my thing, when I was young. I had extraordinary potential, but I needed decades of training, and meditation. Of improvement, Growth, development, and evolution. Of experience, and practice. I needed to get better. I needed to reach my full potential. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

But through decades of training and meditation, I’m now no longer impressed at anything WHATSOEVER that I could ever see, in a professional eSports DotA 2 game. 

Nothing. There’s no skill, nor talent. There are no extraordinary abilities, speed, intelligence, or powers.

It’s like, what’s going on here. Why is everybody just, a clone. 

Why are they all identical to each other to an extent that if you remove their names, you will never know who’s playing. 

Clones. Not bots, as in low skill, but it’s like they all learned the same way. 

Fix your “fundamentals”, farm MMR, get to the top, and then hopefully someday they’ll find you and hire you in a professional team. 

Underneath that, is just a herald with good laning mechanics and farming speed, and knowledge. Nothing whatsoever above herald IV in terms of intelligence, speed, and cognitive ability. 

No experience, no wisdom, no extraordinary special powers, no nothing. 

Just feeding on easy people, gain MMR, win, rinse and repeat. Go next. 

Are you trying to say to me that if I took away CSing from you, you will lose in Herald? A TI level player? 

If we were not allowed to last hit, we’re probably not going to win that many games either. ~ Kezu, in his how to get out of Herald old video

Which brings me to why I am telling you this. 

I feel like I’ve already proven my point. Winning the unwinnable. 

If I chill, and say to myself, this is an easy game, I get shocked when I find out enemy team has two smurfs that are boosting and want to end fast, not in my lane. And now, it’s too late, and there’s nothing I can do, to stop them. I have no buildings.

I should not have chilled. Taking it easy, from the start, because I’m relying on the fact that I’m so good, is why I lost.

The problem is, I need to be in pain. I need to feel bad, in order to get determined to win at a hundred percent win rate, against anything, no matter what. 

I can’t do that in chill mode. I have to hate you first. 

Otherwise, I don’t want you to get hurt, so I will only play defensively and not try to demolish you on my way to my true bracket. 

I literally stomp so hard in unwinnable games, my teammates don’t know what to do to support me just because they are happy I exist. The respect. The enthusiasm. Throwing themselves in the face of the enemy, underfarmed, just because they are happy, like life has been restored into them somehow. They trust I have their back and that I’ll always protect them and save their lives. 

When you smurf, you don’t give a damn about your teammates. 

When I play, I am the one who saves the supports, not crying and bitching about why there are no wards all game long. 

The final question is, do you guys win while absolutely chill and cool headed? Or do you have to summon some hate in order to stomp? 

I sense fear in you young Skywalker. You have hate, you have anger, but you don’t use them. ~ Count Dooku 

Master Yoda, has failed, admittedly so. He understood that he failed, and didn’t deny it.

Even if he doesn’t know why he failed.

If you suppress your natural tendencies towards hate, and anger, you will be overwhelmed by them when they inevitably come to you and you don’t know what to do about it, or how to control your hate or anger, because they are the ultimate forbidden sins for you.

But if you allow them to exist, and not disown them or the parts of you that want them to exist or stay, which will always make you a diminished version of yourself, you will then attack, while in control. You will then be at your highest peak of potential and power, because you are fully, you.

Valve has to be legally forced to sell the game to another company and answer for their crimes of corruption and abuse and violence enabling in international court.

Corruption on an unprecedented level. Disgusting.

At least one high immortal smurf on enemy team Every Single Game with 300 or below games with a hundred percent win rate.

That is a crime. Fraud.

They call that ideal 5 very close balanced perfect. They waste our time and health.

Smurfs are grouped together on enemy team every single game against normal people. Up to 4 high immortal smurfs. At least one. Until you lose 2000 MMR, and then they give you normal people.

You lose MMR even if games are unwinnable and unbalanced.

All games from herald I until high immortal are of equal difficulty with the same difficulty of winning for the same person.

A herald will have the same win rate in Herald I and 17k MMR.

Ame will have the same 55 percent win rate he has in 17k plus MMR that he will have at zero MMR herald I.

Again, difficulty is identical. Games don’t get easier the lower your MMR. Games don’t get harder the higher the MMR. You get the same people with the same difficulty anyway, regardless of your MMR.

They look at your hero ban list, and pick two of them, and then search for smurfs or map hackers with a hundred percent win rate on those heroes, who spam them every single game, and then algorithm says insert both of them on enemy team to make account verified as a non-smurfing account never climb and always lose just for daring to commit the crime of PLAYING BETTER THAN HIS BRACKET.

Valve never bans the main accounts of smurfs for a reason. They need them, to keep you from climbing. Or even winning and HAVING FUN, in unranked.

This is how they keep the snowflakes at the top from complaining about account buyers. We are all account buyers to TI players. They don’t want those snowflakes to quit, like Quinn did recently.

So they decide to keep the smurfs, and teach their algorithm that they can only appear in games together, against non-smurfing accounts.

And then watch more smurfs on Reddit keep saying skill issue. To gaslight the masses.

Game is rigged. Valve has to go.

Thank you.

TI players are not necessarily the best. They are just the people who got there.

We need more educational DotA 2 content that is standardized, formal, all inclusive, fully detailed, contains all there is when it comes to DotA 2, like the DotA 2 wiki, but in video format, on YouTube. Content that takes players from zero to hero, so that the only thing that is holding people back from winning, climbing MMR, competing professionally, even in TI, is not lack of knowledge, but lack of skill and ability. Simply put, you can then comfortably say, if you don’t make it, you simply don’t have what it takes. Not that knowledge is completely hidden from you, or locked behind financial barriers.

We need content that takes all players from zero to hero, from herald to high immortal. So that, only skill and ability and IQ, shall hold you back from competing with the greats.

I watched pros play their pubs for years in the DotA 2 client. Trying to learn. 

Maybe Quinn is tilted, don’t judge. He is here for practice, not to flex. 

Maybe Yatoro is playing while drunk. Maybe he’s sad. 

I give them excuses, but they are nothing compared to any random smurf I encounter with multiple VAC bans on record and multiple game bans on record in terms of EVERYTHING. 

And then I watch Quinn in TI the last two years, and I think to myself, is this guy top 10, and second place in TI? How come? 

And then the final nail in the coffin. Topson last year, TI 2024, average herald I smurf. Identical in every way. I thought I’d see a literal God in mid IN A GAME HE WON, but, I was embarrassed for him. 

Disappointed humongously, colossally, endlessly, to say the least, in every way. Shocked, at how SLOW, he is. 

Let me explain. Imagine living under extremely harsh conditions in the Navy Seal department of the US military. 

And then looking at tough people who brag about how strong they are like Jeff Nippard or even Andrew Tate who thinks he’s the ultimate alpha male. And then thinking to yourself, is this it? Is this all you can conjure you Saruman? 

And then you laugh at other people worshipping them. 

I am not smurfing. But I have lost count of how many times my “hard noob feeder” teammates have suddenly risen from the dead, rallying around me, PROTECTING me with their lives, in games where the score was 50 – 8 at minute 25 or so, until I showed up. 

I am not here trying to convince you. I’m here asking, is there a way to passively climb MMR like you guys did, without having to go full blown “I’ll kill them, I’ll kill them all.” John Wick, chapter 2, mode?

This is like measuring people’s IQ based upon the size of their bank account. Your MMR does not equal to or even directly correlate with how good you are at the game, necessarily.

People at TI are like my children. I don’t want to stomp on them. I want to help them. 

If I go all in, it’d be something like, master Skywalker, there are too many of them, what are we going to do?

Even in TI my friend. I can go as far as saying, especially in TI. 

I’m asking for help here because YouTube videos are boring coaching sessions that take an hour plus long even though content that is actually educational, even if not new to me, could be summed up, much less explained in full detail, in two minutes.

I asked zquixotix for a series that takes the herald player from zero to hero, from herald to high immortal, but he didn’t respond.

Pain DotA has a good video about that, but he just mentions titles, no full complete training.

And BSJ requires me to be a multi-millionaire to get full training until my skills are complete if you know what I mean. He’s American and his prices are astronomical, and he doesn’t have time for me. I wish I was in Eri Neeman’s place, I would’ve been high immortal long ago.

Please be respectful when responding. You never know who you’re talking to could be in a few years.

Pursuing higher MMR in DotA 2 is worth it. It is not a waste of time or energy.

Gaining MMR is not an addiction, or a bad thing, in the slightest.

It’s the cure.

Failing to gain MMR, however, is the problem. Not having it, or having too little of it, is the problem. Not having high enough MMR, if you really care about DotA at all, is a problem. And it has nothing to do with the quality of your games. You get balanced high quality games in unranked, provided you have maximum behavior score and communication score.

The endless pursuit of it, however, without ever attaining any of it, is what could be considered a total waste of time and energy.

That is, if you’re gaining MMR, you’re on the right track. Keep going. Yes, it’s worth it.

But if you’re spending all your time and energy trying to gain MMR, and failing at it, that’s what’s a total waste of time, energy, and life. Like the pursuit of any goal that is unattainable, as in impossible to attain, ever.

That does not necessarily mean you should think small, settle for less, or lower your standards. That doesn’t mean give up on your dreams and goals, because they’re unattainable, and too hard to get.

But I just wanted to clarify, that if it were possible for you to gain MMR in DotA 2, and you went all in, and you gave it your all, and you gave it all your time and energy, even if for years, that it’ll still be totally and absolutely worth it, and it’s not because it is addictive. It’s because it is worthy of attaining. Worthy of having. It is simply, worth it. It means serotonin. More Serotonin and Dopamine all the time, regardless.

Your placement in the competence and dominance hierarchy affects your serotonin levels.

It is not like chasing pleasure that is fleeting. That is what you get from winning in unranked. It doesn’t last.

But gaining MMR, and staying high MMR, is permanent. Long-term positive effect on your mental health and well-being.

It is like getting promoted in your company, as opposed to getting a raise.

It does not ruin your life. It fixes it.

It has nothing to do with winning. It has nothing to do with addiction. It has nothing to do with empty meaningless pleasure that changes nothing. It means better mental health, and neurological functioning. Especially executive functioning. Psychological well-being, mental well-being, emotional well-being, everything gets fixed.

Simply because it means, you’re better.
