How to get Coached?

[Benak]

You can start matches coaching teams but how you can get this help for yourself?

[Robins on my jeans]

ummmm, I think they are automatically assigned? to ranked games? not sure.

[Benak]

hmm...

[Benak]

no one knows?

probably, when 2 coaches with a difference of less than 500 mmr are queuing as coachs at the same time, they get in the first match of 1000 +-500 less mmr

numbers from what' i've been in as coach

[Benak]

thank you

The numbers for who you coach are sort of random, I coached a match over 2k below me. I think it finds 2 players who want to coach with similar MMR, then loads them in any match below their MMR. If you want to be coached it is just luck I think. The lower your MMR the more likely 2 coaches are above you enough to coach. If you want a personal coach to just help you usually you have to pay someone.

Well losing a game is not report worthy if it is an accident. You are allowed to be bad. I think the coaching was added to help people realize how to get better. Many players blame their teammates when they lose instead of trying to improve themselves. DotA 2 is not easy for new players and having coaches randomly join the game to provide insight helps them learn it faster. The biggest struggle with this game now is getting new players and keeping them. Though there could be ulterior motives.

do you need a mic ? or you can coach writting it ?

[Charybdis136]

you can just type if you want.

coaching requires patience btw, some people do not want a coach and will flame you. You have to just ignore it and focus on the people who want your help.

I am doing Jungle in unranked and got a game with 2 coaches. I gave my coach a negative review as he said nothing during the game.

I always tell coaches,
"I do not want your help, but if you help my team mates actively I will give you a good report."

Because you are way better than other players with the same MMR as you?

We had a coach that spammed us their dota 2 all chat mic spams, because his team was refusing to listen to his advice. Lol.
p.s. we beat 6v5

I am better than 70-80% of the people that play this game (probably higher... but let me keep my ego down a bit). I have been from 300-4000 mmr. MMR is not a direct relation to skill, it's part skill/part luck in getting decent team mates. All MMR ranges have toxic players.

Back in the day I used to train new people in the game. Now everyone "Knows everything" so I don't teach anymore; although a lot of people need it really really badly.

Too many people expect other people to do things for them, and if they don't they feed. Anyone can buy a ward, for gods sake, they made them cheaper again. I honestly think that if they were free people still wouldn't get them.

I main mid, but rarely get it. I allow others to choose what lanes they want in ranked. When I mid or solo any lane I get my own wards/dewards AND any time I go to another lane to push (with the intent to get a tower) I usually place wards there too. Also, If i have a proper support that plays correctly, and he is too poor to get wards, I will buy them for him.

When everyone picks low hp carries against a tank/disable team, and I decide that unless I pick a core and jungle that we are going to lose. Every lane wants me to ward their lane, spam pings me for help, incites a report riot, blames me for their feeding... etc etc.

(I have been reported countless times, still have a pretty high conduct rating and have NOT been sent to low prio in a long long long time) So please keep the false reports coming.
(Inciting report riots is reportable) So please keep trying.

I refuse to fight for farm. I don't care if a support takes some last hits to get support items or wards, but in 75% of matches, people are trying to take all the last hits buy no aura items and zero wards. When they are trying to take all last hits or auto attack and refuse to stop, i just go jungle and tell them they can have the lane. I will show up when I am ready. 99% of the time they push the wave under the enemy tower and make it to where they get zero farm. Then they spam ping me, call for help, and incite report riots. All because they are too dumb to know better and refuse to learn when someone is trying to teach them.

When I jungle, I still watch the lanes/offer advice/ tell them how to do things better. I had a game this week where I had a medusa solo offlane (while I Jungled) and she kept using Mystic Snake on enemy heroes even with creeps around. I informed them that the snakes do more damage the more jumps it has and to lead on a creep and pay attention to how many creeps are there in correlation with the max snake jumps. He/she started waiting till the right amount of creeps were there and using it to its max effectiveness.
***This however is a very rare instance where someone actually wants to learn to get better***
I believe this match also had a coach... which also backed up what i said telling them I was correct.

Another thing (Very Important) that people need to learn is: To stop following cookie cutter builds. To learn what items are used for and when to buy them.
You don't have to be intel to buy an Orchid if you are against a character like a Storm Spirit and your team has zero silences.

Harder to master but people still need to learn basics: Counter picking.

Before you say: Play support
I do, but it is rare. I am not supporting a re.tarded lineup.

Let the flaming begin....
