What causes winning/losing streak？

[KDA Seraphine]

In winning streak：
I carry, win;
I play casually, still win;

In losing streak：
I play casually, lose;
I carry, still lose.

I feel like my performance has nothing to do with the game results.

A lot of it comes down to personal player skill and tactics.
The reason why people get stuck in losing streaks is because they are doing something wrong in matches contributing towards their loss.
The problem is a lot of people don't see this and try point finger elsewhere.but ultimately you need to remember what is the one consistent factor in your lose streaks?the answer is simple the consistent factor is that you are in all those games.

Streaks will happen regardless of skill level so try not to get too caught up on them.

Correct, it's not about you; there are 4 other people.

You work together, or are dragged down by the weakest person. (we could always "kick" them, *maniacal laugh*.)

I like how we can relate that to life, but it's sad; someone like me, needs to say it.

Humanity is new-b.

Have an amateur or better draft/league player review one of your matches for you. I think he'll be able to point out things you're doing wrong. If you can't find anything wrong with your own gameplay then you should stop playing pubs and start getting into amateur leagues.

The matchmaking system works to keep players at 50% winrate.
Everyone above that will be matched with bad players to force loss.
Everyone below that will be matched with good players to force win.

Thats why when you win like 6 games in a row you start to get dumb people on your team. And when you lose 6 in a row you get 1 or 2 good players that carry you.

it's not a "forced" 50% wr, it's just how it averages out. matchmaking pairs you up with the skill level it thinks you're at, so if you have several good games it's gonna match you up with a bunch of people who are also at that level (and probably have been there for a while) and if you havent actually improved then you're just gonna get outplayed and put back down to your actual skill level.

wait... why I always have opposite situation？
When I play well, I get some bad teammates and lose.
When I play badly, I get good teammates and win.
Isn't that strange?

Thats because you never carry your games.
Most likely you dont even know how to carry the game. Dont even have an idea. What rank are you?

[ʍolɟ ǝɥʇ ǝsɹǝʌǝɹ]

if you pick pudge, does you enemy get all twitchy with high apm like they are on crack and not in other games. Its def noticeable when it comes to something like that. Huge swings in the skill level, from one team to the other. You'll get noobs that don't even juke the hooks.

Its the most notable thing I can think of.

Had a game where the zues didnt dispell the enemy embers sheild. he just ran away being burned. And Im like ok time to low effort the next 10 or so games, bc the teams are looking pretty sketch.

It goes from everyone having a mic and communicating in every game to I swear to god noone speaks english.

It averages out by biasing the teams in one direction or the other. It doesn't match skill level of players withing a team, but maybe it tries to match you to one other person skill on the other team. And is that balanced? Not when you are picking different roles that aren't oppositional. And its not like skill is uniform at MMR levels anyway, especially for this reason. Theres a wide skill level at each different rank that isn't really explainable.

You are right.
I have no idea about how to carry my team, because I am not even a carry player.
I am a low rank supporter player and the reason why I carried was not because I want to, it was because there were no other teammates can carry the team at all.
Do I have to be both supporter and carry to win a dota2 game?
