Herald supposed to be easiest rank but turns out it is not!!!

[MMR is just number]

Herald supposed to be easiest rank but turns out it is not, There are many smurf trying to prevent you from getting higher rank. Steam support said these rank mmr match making system is to give players balanced opportunity for learning. I reached to 750mmr and then I got 10 lose strake fell back to 440 within few hours. Herald is like first few chapters in video game boos are not strong.And i am dealing with tougher boss in herald cant get out they always try to force me back to herald 3. pudge blink disembler rot meat hook 4 combo wihtin few secs. I play fv and cant farm getting bullied by party players. Support pick sniper viper riki no warding. 5 cores farming at once all passive no magic. Void spirit get orchid in 15 min and start annihilating my teamates who are all core paper and vs call ez. I am real herald who want to reach divine my skill level is medium to high but i cant get any higher. valve is not doing anything against these smurf players. With my current skill level and if herald are easiest I can get out of that rank within 5 days, 5 games per day. But i been herald for 8 months and cant even get to guardian 1. I was once guardian 1 and quickly fell back to herald 4 within a day. Now my mmr sits at 440 cant do anything just being stranded if u can help me please help me to boost. I need good players. I have been playing dota 2 since 2013 so I am old player like dendi. I had over 5k matches played and over 2k commend. I have over 800 matches as faceless void my most played hero.

my recent match with cancers - 5536768258

my recent match with good teamates - 5536670144

You either get very good and win about 60-70% of your games, spamming the same (your best) hero everytime (playing mid) or look for a good player in these forums who helps you to climb. 2 average players laning together or mid/safelane can win a lot of games in lower ranks, especially if you use your headsets. I play Eu West, so i think my ping would be not so good at US Servers. And there is a difference of about 6 to 9 hours, depending on where you live in the US. Im in germany.

Also i recommend to pick "most likely win heroes". Drow is very strong lategame, Phantom Lancer is very hard to beat once he has HOT and manta, Sniper mid is easy mmr if you know how to play, WK is very strong and Necro. Alsways depends on enemy picks. But Drow with SB is EZ MMR. Clinkz is ridiculously OP at the moment. Dont pick clinkz against heroes with tracking abilities like slardar or bounty. Dont pick Sniper if enemy has blinkers like LC with BD or PA,

the thing is these low rank players know how to counter everything

Try to last pick and/or counter them. I admit its not easy as an average player but its possible to climb ranks.

Tell me how does a Smurf calibrate in archon or less if he is good? Are all these low rank k smurfs account buyers? Of course there are plenty of immortal and divine smurfs you see them with these ranks and o it 200 games, but I don't see how you could tell for a low rank player.

Interesting, so they would have to barely do anything during 30 turbo games and the same in coop bot to get low mmr calibration, then comes the ultimate question who the he'll does that?

Bros,
I'm a FV spammer too but I got to guardian 1, then fell back to herald 3.
Then climbed back to guardian 1 again, then fell back to herald 4.

This happened to me more than once, it can't be co-incidence.
Something is messed up with the matchmaking not sure what exactly since I don't have conclusive evidence just my observation.

It is not coincidence indeed. You ate it good enough to ranked consistently yet. It happens to many players. I've ranked toward divine 2, I ranked down to ancient 5, I ranked back to divine 1. Such things happen, not need to invent s bug conspiracy to explain a simple thing.

If you're a Herald rank player then no, Dota 2 is obviously not an easy game for you, otherwise you wouldn't be in Herald. Instead of finding new ways to blame your teammates and other players, focus on improving your fundamental knowledge and basic game mechanics.

Boosting is not allowed, only a matter of time before he gets banned I guess.

Not boosters get banned but accounts they have boosted, maybe and sometimes.

You want to gain MMR and win all your games?

In DOTA you will lose.

You control less than 10% of this game. (There are 9 other people and the game itself)

It seems like you're too attached to some random number and winning.

Ask yourself, "Am I committed to 1 game for 0 or 30MMR?"

Or... "10 games @ 60% for 60 MMR?"

Or... "100 games @ 60% for 600 MMR?"

If you look at pro players dotabuff you will see it takes thousands of games to be good. And 10s of thousands of games to be great.

Just focus on giving 100% for the 10% you're responsible for.

Choose different goals besides the W.
(If you got 6cs/min try going for 7/8/9)
(If you got 10 denies last game go for 15 this time)
(Last hitting, map positioning, itemization, farming patterns)

Just focus on getting a little better each day.

Good luck!

In they are good smurfs who win so much, why are they still in your rank? Don't you see the big flaw of your theory? How many people so you think calibrate so low on purpose to play games like these. Also you are complaining about smurfs in enemy team and bad players in your team, it looks like you can't realize what is even happening. If you fell in crusader there is barely any chance that your skill level is high, because high means at least ancient, and ancients can deal with most smurfs anyway.

i once played with good arc warden in herald/guardian after game accused him for boosting and he says that he dont spam one hero to climb only play 100 games of techies for fun and this is his correct rank.

Pretty old thread, but always a hot topic. Climbing out of Herald.....i did it once, am doing it now again. You have to be honest to yourself. I realized im not very good in safelane, didn´t play mid a lot but it´s ok, but i win a lot of games as offlaner or pos4 with some heroes. Im spamming my best heroes again, and i´ll make no more experiments with heroes i didn´t master in ranked games. There are games you cant win. But you always have a high impact if youre above average. 60% winrate is possible and enough to climb. You still have to play a lot. Once you climb, the gaming experience gets better and better. At least people know their heroes and their abilities. If u cant climb, even with your best heroes, youre just not good enough. gl climbing!

I calibrated 900 mmr ( because i was playing random ♥♥♥♥ that i didnt know how to play) after that i started playing normally and crushed enemy team 9/10 time , i was getting called smurf all the time , but i reached 2850 mmr and games are getting harder now for me . Morale of this is that you should stop blaming others and look at your own mistakes , if you are stuck in herald you most likely are herald skillwise .
Join r/learndota , people there will help you find your mistakes and improve .

jajaja arent u the guy i crushed xd
lol sad

Serious question, can you even calibrate as Herald nowadays or do you have to play for a season to get down to it?

I didnt play 3 years, came back and everything was different. heroes, abilities, neutral items, courier. Didn´t even know about callibrating and how important it is. Played my 10 games in crusader/legend , got in low prio 2 times because of reports and started playing. Went up again to guardian, started to practice all heroes and in combination with some bad luck dropped to incredible 10 mmr. Went up to Herald 5, dropped to Herald 3 and now im playing for rank. I think i´ll end up anywhere in crusader/legend if i don´t start to pick special heroes for fun and experiment with builds. Mission will be accomplished at the end of the year i guess. Then its time to move on, 2021 will be Dota free and i hope Corona free.
