Good heroes for solo queue?

[r0uta]

Hi people! I recently made a new account (this one) and I'm trying to reach a high mmr from mmr synchronization. I would like to hear the heroes and roles that have most helped you win solo queue games. Thanks!

I recommend creating another account. You have already 123 games and haven't reached the high skill or very high unranked skill bracket. Right now if you would calibrate, your MMR would be under 3300 if not under 2900 MMR. Your first game matters the most.

If we talk about "raising MMR" then figure out which heroes are strong this patch and spam them. The next patch will arrive in about 9 days and then you have to figure again out which heroes are good in the next meta.

Ty for you're anwser! 3k is plenty enough for me so I won't make an another account, but thanks for the tips anyway!

I forgot to add: your first game matters the most. It decides on which MMR you will be unranked calibrated. Many believe that this system is for the 10 calibration ranked games the same.

Thanks! May I ask, where do wizards like you find this information? Isn't the rank system supposed to be "secret"?

I'm gonna throw in my two cents here.
When I play Bloodseeker, I feel like he's a terrible hero that always loses. But in the hands of someone who "gets" Bloodseeker, I feel like he's stupidly OP. In the same way, when I play Undying, I have a stupidly high win rate (like 70%)... but most people I play Undying against are not very scary. (I did play against a really good Undying lately... but most Undyings don't play him right.)
By the same token I've played against Omnis that tried to carry and basically ruined the game for their teams, but I've played against one Omni that DID carry and carried hard. To most players I'd say, "Don't carry as Omni, it's a terrible strat." But to that one guy, I'd be cool with him carrying Omni on my team, cause he knows how. (I'm sure the team comps mattered in that game, too.. but anyway...)
Which brings me to my two cents. You need to find a hero (or several) that matches your play style. It needs to match your ability/desire to play safe and smart vs. playing aggressive. It needs to match your ability to farm vs. your ability to support others in farming. It needs to match your ability to be technically effective with tons of skills vs. your ability to think through long term plans. It needs to match your ability to effectively communicate with your team vs. your ability to focus on your own play.

I don't know how much you've played, but if you've got 1000+ games, you could look at your play history to see which heroes you've kicked butt with. If you don't have a 50% winrate after playing the hero 20-30 times, it's likely you aren't very good with them. If you have a 60% winrate with a particular hero, it's likely you are very good with them.

Well when you look at Dotabuff on a new account, you see that your first game will be always in the "normal skill" bracket. This is the game where the system decides that you are either a smurf or not. Like for example going 20/0/36 as Alchemist with 1340 GPM/XPM will grant you automaticly into the very high skill unranked bracket. It's the same for everyone else who creates a new account. That's why you will be always matched with beginners in your first game on a new account, so remember to be friendly, because they are actually no smurfs, they are for real beginners. But the system doesn't know that you're a player that is good, so it has to make sure first. I agree that matching a smurf against beginners to prove if he is a smurf or not is a bit dumb, but it's just the way how it is.

Winning or losing for that first game or calibration doesn't matter. What matters is GPM, XPM, Hero Heal, Hero Damage and Tower Damage. Same for calibration actually.

Ah heck, I just thought of one more thing: Team composition.
I (usually) don't pick Undying unless I think he's good vs. the enemey team. You can't play all heroes against all enemy lineups. For example, one of the first games I played as Terrorblade, I won so hard that I thought he was stupidly OP. Then, in the next game the enemy team had Medusa AND Sven, who made short work of my illusions, and made me look like an idiot to my teammates. Team composition matters. Who you have on your team and who your opponents have, and what synergizes with what ---- matters.

tip is, don't play ranked till u get very high skill bracket in dotabuff,in that way , you can guarantee 3.7+.. -Kate
