Yo this time Dafunda #Games will share tips and tricks for you DOTA 2 players who want to increase your MMR up to 5K. We got these tips and tricks from various sources, many articles like this one and they are all true. Okay, let’s start with how to successfully increase MMR.
Change your mindset (mindset)
The first step is to change the mindset or mindset. Before doing a ‘Find Match’ think about what you will do, what hero you will use, and ALWAYS use a hero whose ins and outs you already know. Don’t TRY to use a hero that you have never used or are still in the learning stage in the Ranked Game, it can reduce your MMR (EZ -25).
What will we do?
This is a group game, don’t forget that. Many people do not communicate at the time of selecting (picking) heroes. THIS IS A BIG WRONG! Sometimes many of us like to randomize heroes, pick as they please without looking at the team. Remember, you can’t always take mids, become hard carry, or best killers, you’re NOT Miracle the Human 9K who can turn everyone into a mid hero, even lane selection. If there’s an offlaner on your team, leave him alone. Don’t bother him (unless he can’t last hit), it will slow him down “SO”.
Lane Division
Speaking of lane division, many people fail in this process. So, here are tips for lane selection:
1. Midlaner
Just farm, deny, and try to control the runes. DON’T DIE, always look at the minimap, farm on forest creeps if necessary, and don’t let your opponent in the mid get “Free Farm”. If you carry, don’t roam (gank), JUST FARM THERE!, try to harass the enemy (try to deny and pay more) and try to hit the tower. If you are a ganker, try to kill the enemies in the mid. Don’t twirl around in the map to kill, that’s STUPID, especially if the one in the gang doesn’t die. Don’t overdo the gank because the enemy in the mid will get a free farm. Don’t let the enemy midlaner be, or can you guess what will happen? (EZ-25)
2. Carry (not mid)
Always think about LAST HIT. Relax and stay focused on farming. There is support that will protect you and let them do their job. If no creeps come, farm in the forest and ancient. Don’t build carelessly, don’t buy random items. JUST FARM AND DON’T DIE, not only professional players can do that, you can do it.
3. Support
Let’s think for a moment about support. Dota is a game where we MUST have 2 supports. One support for level 5 is really full support (buy ward, sentry, courier, up courier, smoke). The other one is support level 4, which has ready-made items but is still ready to help support level 5. So support isn’t difficult, just stack creeps, put wards, and keep your team’s carry until it’s finished. Besides that, support can also go around the map to help other lanes, always bring TP and smoke, because you can do a lot of things with it. Examples of Lane Support heroes: Dazzle, WD, Treant Protector, Bane, Abaddon, CM, Skywarth, Silencer, Pugna, Ancient Apparition.
As for Roaming Support, you can choose from the following heroes: Mirana, Venge, Earth Shaker, Ditruptor, Jakiro, Leshrac, Rubick, Sand King, Ogre Magi. It’s true that Mirana can kill enemy heroes easily, but remember she’s not Carry. If you can do this support well, it will give you more time to form a team.
4. Offlaner
If you pick an offlaner hero, you will definitely face > 1 hero on the lane. You will be completely abused. If the situation doesn’t allow for farming, don’t farm, but try to get the EXP. Not all heroes are offlaners, the important thing is to level 6 as fast as possible. Examples of heroes, Doom, Batrider, Timbersaw, and Bristleback who need levels to fight. ALWAYS ALWAYS the lane, don’t ask the team to help, that way you get more exp and level up quickly.
5. Jungler
For junglers, timing for stack creeps is very important. Because that way also the exp and gold you get will be more. For heroes who do not have lifesteal or regen skills, it is recommended to buy items such as Morbid Mask or Ring of Health.
Push tower
Don’t forget to push the tower, don’t because of the convenience of farming, the HP tower is still full. Pushing is the way to win and master the map. Push as much as possible, because the destruction of the enemy tower will make it easier for you to master the lane, get a free farm path, and bring you closer to VICTORY! (in the sense of +25)
If you are mid, try to push the tower as much as you can. If you get the Double Damage rune, use it to attack the tower. Keep pushing if you can then your tower defense as well as possible.
Addition
Always bring 2-3 pieces of TP, you will definitely need it, either to help friends or to gang up. If you don’t bring this cheap item, you could say your dota skills are still below standard.
The Hand of Midas is not an item you can always rely on. A team cannot have 2 midas on 2 heroes at the same time (EZ -25). What is the actual use of this item? Midas is an item to get exp+gold, but THIS IS NOT THE BEST CHOICE! When you buy this item, you will become a full farm with the excuse of getting expensive items. Even though the price of Midas is equivalent to Crystalis or Armlet, so don’t waste the early game and just make it an important item to make it easier for you to EZ +25.
Conclusion
If you follow this guide, MMR 5K is no longer just a dream. EZ +25 is in sight, you will be the winner. Is this guide difficult? Of course not, Dota is a game where you just have to UNDERSTAND what you have to do and focus on it. If you do, then you will win every game. And if you get a team that is not / not good, DO NOT BLAME them, they just don’t understand how to play dota. Therefore please SHARE this guide so that our dota friends, especially in INDONESIA, so that they understand playing dota is not just killing, losing, but not clear.
And one more thing, plant these words in your brain!
“Play for WIN not for KILL.”
