My playing is kind of irregular. Just whenever I can sneak a game in here and there.

kinda getting stale for me, the things I need to do to consistently win aren't fun
really doesn't help that playing pub support is still an awful experience in general
in 4k seems like either i pick the support or there wont be one, which is not fun

Same here man. I mostly only get to play heavily on weekends and it's all good. Just wanna play some laid back games with some people I can count on to actually communicate or just not abandon a fucking game, lol.

EU seems to be fine, if I wait with my pick, I play support 95% of the time, if I just rush pick carry or offlane, some other sucker will fill the gap. Even then, I find it quite satisfying to support in this patch, there are so many options in the first 10 minutes and you have a lot of room in itemization. Saving your team with Lotus/Force staff/Mek is also quite rewarding. Tomes of Knowledge made getting 6 at 10 minutes a no-brainer. My only gripe are games where you need detection at minute 1 as a solo support, if you die once, you are lucky to get brown boots at 10 minutes, since any gap in detection is potentially fatal.

Gravel is good to play with. I think I've missed a couple of invites from you, haven't even been sitting at my computer since last Saturday.

I think my actual MMR is probably in the 2300-2500 range (based on Purge's videos of MMR), but I'm currently about 1760. So it'll likely be easier games, too, since I'm playing way below my potential. It's just a matter of grinding out til my actual MMR.

Well I'm in this weird bracket of DoTA skill level as I've been playing the game for 10 years (that's fucking crazy to say) however I am just picking up and getting back into it heavily. I can play literally any and all heroes but obviously some way better than others. I know probably every detail or nuance about strategy / general DoTA info one could possibly know. The thing is just putting certain things into execution with consistency and venturing into practicing lesser played heroes to the point of mastery. I don't make nearly as many dumb mistakes as I used to and have gotten really good rhythm when it comes to my economy & skill building.
What I really need is to be surrounded by the next tier of players up and learn from and play with them. I'm not saying I'm an amazing or perfect DoTA player by any means but I find myself actually having a meaningful game or learning something once out of every 25 games. Low level unranked pubs are just filled to the brim with either ridiculously bad noobs or plain retards that refuse to learn what a TP scroll or ward is. Fact is, I 100% have a terrible gauge of my actual skill level because I have had only a few handfuls (some of them with Intrinsic) of games that actually involved experienced players.
So what the fuck is my point here? I have no idea. I think I am good at DoTA but am probably not. I hate the matchmaking system? I don't know. Anyway.

Bone7 really looking like the weak spot in Kaipi, I would have pointed at Fluff since the same lineup looked good with PielieDie.
I think if you're significantly better than the bracket you'll have virtually no bad games (even if you lose), you just need to translate that into a playstyle (or hero pick) that allows you to consistently close out the game.

Rip my mirana win streak. Had an alch on our team buying us all aghs, got me mine first, got jugg his at like 23 minutes... 36 minute mark and our jugg buys himself an aghs... and our nyx offlaner spent 25 of the last 30 minutes of the game afk (40 minute game or so total). He'd go stand someone in the trees or ulted, sit there for 2 minutes, move a little, 2 more minutes afk, die and sit in fountain for 2 minutes after respawning etc. He had less gpm than our pure support whore cm who ended up like 0/12/15 or something.
My favorite part was jugg saying "What? They don't stack?" as if he could get 6 aghs and have 95003012 omnislash bounces.
