Push it to the limit: Ancient 1 to Divine 1 in a month. Any tips? in General Discussion

    So my team put an ultimatum: I get Divine 1 in 30 days or I'll get kicked. So I've been spamming undying lately rather successfully but I know what comes next if I'll continue this way: inevitable lose streak. So I'll be spamming Undying, Spirit Breaker and Lich. Simple meta heroes with high winrate and good synergy with most offlane heroes. But I feel that would not be enough. Your thoughts?

      Leave SB aside 'cause he doesn't seem to suit you, you have a 43% winrate with him. Lich and Undying sound good. The only problem I see with the heroes you chose is that they completely depend on the team, I mean they can't take the ancient by themselves, so you will have to do your best keeping in mind that your chance to win will depend on your cores, whose actions you can't control. But a lot of people climbed with supports, just focus on improving game after game. Good luck

        Thanks, I guess you are right. But going balls deep with early aggression seems to be rather effective and ecouraging for most offlaners. It also forces more people to help easy lane. But if I would add a better hero in my hero pool who should it be?

          It took me one month to get from Divine 4 to 5, so I wish you the best of luck.

            Only you can answer that question, Idk which hero you enjoy playing, have sinergy with and that is also in the meta. I can only suggest you to focus on playing the same role. Maybe Treant?

                  If you're looking into 4 position then try to get Grimstroke, since he still OP in this patch & Treant absolutely...

                            check my dotabuff, i did it last month , but from ancient 2 to divine 1

                            Kotato

                              from 4000 mmr to 4800 mmr, lets calculate: 800 mmr with 53% winrate means a game brings you on average 150 mmr per 100 games, so you will lvl up divine 1 after 533 games. A gmae on average is 45 minutes and therefore you need 400 hours. One months has 14*30= 420 hours that are free from sleep and food and shower (say 14 hours of dota per day) therefore you can totally do the challenge and have 20 free hours in the end to think about what you are doing with your life

                                ^in summary, he needs to actually be BETTER than his target bracket in order to warrant a huge winrate on his way towards it

                                  ^i made a bold assumption, i agree

                                    IIRC I went from Ancient 4 to Div 3 in 3 weeks (I actually got to 5350 mmr, which would be near divine 5 now, but I've since drifted out a little to 5200) of tryhard moding. Mental conditioning is a huge part of it.

                                      Wish I could help. I went 3k-3.8k in like 2-3months this summer spamming visage been hovering there ever since.

                                        I went from 3.9k to 5k flat in 14 days i think spamming ta best of luck bro

                                            Took me 3 weeks to go from 4200 solo to 5100. My advice would be take frequent breaks in between games to just stretch and hydrate

                                              It took me one month to get this from 4.1 to 4.7k lol, really hard to play supp in 4k so goodluck

                                              spilled

                                                supporting in 4k is easy imo
                                                just know how to do a lot with little farm, don't play greedy, and potentiate your carries rather than compromise them
                                                if your carry is in trouble, start casting spells and run hyper aggressively at the enemy
                                                die with 3k net worth at 20 minutes and a 30 second respawn and waste some enemy time and resources while you're at it
                                                invest 200 gold in a quelling blade so you don't feed the enemy deward gold
                                                soft pull just the ranged creep out of every wave so the enemy offlaners get less experience without compromising the lane too hard

                                                if a wave is pushing the tower, just aggro the creeps and run down the lane, doubling up the wave, while you wait for a core to tp in to farm it. if they rotate someone into the lane to stop you, then they're wasting their time from dealing with whatever lane your core is currently in.

                                                almost all this stuff goes unpunished in 4k

                                                        Look even that's nothing i've played the game for a while, some impressive things i've seen is players who go from starting the game to leaderboard top 500 in 6 months.

                                                        there's no secret to it - the more you learn/practice; the higher mmr you get.

                                                        If your thought process only went as far as ''what heroes do i spam'' then believe me you won't be getting it.

                                                              I think dota is weird in that way sometimes
                                                              when ranked first came out, i only played chen (and some visage). literally the only hero i had played was chen for almost a thousand games. i knew so little about the broad game, but i knew what i needed to do to be effective with chen, and i ranked in at 5k when ranked very first came out.

                                                              i was able to skirt along by just doing one thing right and still have a big impact. i think that happens with some up-and-coming mid players sometimes too. the competitive drive pushes them to be the best in technical skill, and using things like timing windows as strategic signals to understand pressure without the burden of full game knowledge

                                                              my glass bubble shattered at some point and i dropped all the way down to 2.5k and had to relearn the game from the ground up
                                                              very good learning experience tho

                                                                Sounds like they're a bunch of kunts or you're the kunt or they're approaching this whole thing terribly instead of what it should be party mmr practicing for bigger things
