crusader to immo in a year (SEA), AMA
spent approx 5 months in divine 3-5, finally made the push after I switched to playing only support.
what helped me with the climb: 1. get coaching as 90% of the time ur teammates in ur bracket will be giving you bad or straight up wrong advice. movement and understanding powerspikes r the 2 most important things in dota if u want to climb
- aside from d2pt, stratz is an excellent resource for a read on the meta based on ur mmr bracket and region (heroes>meta>trends page, anything above 51% with a high sample size is a S tier hero). besides just picking meta heroes, try and understand why theyre strong (watch a few replays from the leaderboard page e.g. https://stratz.com/heroes/111-oracle/leaderboard, to have a better understanding on how the hero is played IN YOUR SERVER (important)
3.i know it’s difficult but before queuing, always try n check whether ure in a good state to play dota. cool, calm collected == very high chance of winning the game. if ure tilted, hungry, sick and hit queue, be expected to get more tilted when u lose
