The dotabuff team is not even averaging 5k so trying to reach 6k to join that Squad would be backwards dunning krueger
because 5,5k fukin sucks and mmr is irrelevant to how good of a player you are. it shows how good u are at spamming fotm heroes in pubs
as for myself, i never tried cause i dont have trustworthy taemmates and i cant bother trying to find any
^So what you just said is people adapting to patches equals people that isn't good at Dota? (Disregard people who spam 1 fotm)
People that cries about people playing fotm heroes are just braindead. Spamming a fotm hero 50 games in a row is something, but playing a fotm hero is a part of being good at the game. You don't fuckin pick Sniper 19 patches ago with your finger up ur arse cause you're good at the game.
Go back to something, ur high 
^---agree and disagree think you lost me on the sniper portion ;)
Who is the current team dotabuff? 1-5
yeah take any pub player like mage which only plays fotm shit and put him in a competitive team playing against legit players from pro scene and you'll see he just gets rolled over. you could very well be 4k or low 5k (like mason/akke) because you only play weak heroes or you just dont give a shit about pubs, and invest time into practicing with friends or players that are dedicated in getting good and playing competitive games and eventually you will go pro, if you really want to. anyways pursuing a pro dota 2 career is pretty dumb and blind like many pro players said, you could be very high skilled and have good mechanics but never be successful in the pro scene. if u look at all (well most of them anyways) players that come from dota 1 scene like dendi loda etc they played the game for fun, they never even thought about getting to where they are today
i mean i know people who used to play only tinker/void, switched to troll/sniper/jugger, and now play only leshrac , lina and bloodseeker
i really wanted to win as safelane storm so i firstpicked him 3 games in a row and lost, mb its not the right approach?
Mage doesn't only play fotm lol. And you're talking about specific players. Talking about Mason/Akke is like 2/100 pro players. Why would anyone rely on this information when thinking to go pro/playing pro/whatever.
also I misread the title unless you changed it. so my first post is irrelevant 
^^Bloodseeker is a dogshit hero so if you climb with him it's not related to fotm. Climbing with bloodseeker is rather equilevant to anyone spamming a specific hero to upp their mmr.
i mean i really like to play heroes like antimage or storm and i often pick them and lose
but people who only play a certain set of heroes in a certain patch seems like something unfun, do they not have a hero they enjoy playing?
Some players play dota to improve and that's where they find enjoyment. It really isn't hard to understand if you have some empathy.
networking is the biggest issue when going competitive
+ its hard to find people who can commit on a regular basis
like here in singapore i've tried competitive a few times with some friends, we did okay, placed 9th-16th in open qualifiers for TI and could take games off the top teams in the region (which doesnt speak much) e.g. eliminating meracle's team from a lan competition. but we couldnt practice as a team on a consistent basis, between players in law school, one going through mandatory conscription etc etc there was just too much schedule conflict.
that's just from my personal side
roflmao ofc mmr doesnt mean shit everyone can spam, leshrac or bloodcyka or bountyhunter
Well yeah but if you care about that game so much it doesn't make sense if you don't wanna go pro.
I think like Zenoth was the only person who answered the question -_-"
the hardest part is not finding ppl who can play like really amazing, the hardest part is finding people willing to invest a lot of time into playing together, and not just part ways after a tourney or 6 months

You tarnished the golden retriever reputation really. Shame.
FOTM is a poison in all games sheep of the world whether talented of not gravitate to what is easy with most reward always.
for the past 3 years i only found one rly good player that i could team with, rest may be good but they lack brain to go pro and also because i dont give a shit bout dota
The hardest part is finding good players that you have good chemistry with and are equally dedicated to the same goals as you are. It's quite a miracle if you find them honestly :)
Because it takes a lot of commitment from you AND 4 people like you, and then you will actually start being a team that isn't even good.
The only team "good" in my country is eGX, but the average is easily 2.5k.
Hard to find the right people for a team
It's not that easy to climb up the ladder (which doesn't really exist, in fact) with a bunch of friends, and a lot of ppl just quit after first-second major defeat.
Hmm maybe if I was already good and still in high school I would, not even if I was a young guy 18-21 would I do it , between partying working out work and college na. High school would be the mecca for free time tho for sure to get good
@EG > ALL
I'm from Chile, eGX lost against uGamers (the final, peruvian team) or something like that for the pre-qualys to the International

I mean I've seen dotabuff teams occasionally on some random online tournies but thats all. Tbh, if I bothered investing enough time to get 6k+ (not saying i can), it would be because I dream of competing in shit like international.
