what the hell did you do in that game?

I think you were missing...

a pair of boots.

In all honesty this match simply shows that at your bracket there are still many things for you to improve on.

pink socks please.

@ Flop, being forced into team fights, ganking.

@Zenoth.......... what? Plz explain. Oh wait, wtf. I had Power treads. I don't know why, they didn't show up.

Huh, that's really odd. I had power treads.

Hmmmmm.... Might of accidently sold them at the end. I have no idea.

he said that you are bad

I know, I did bad that game. I was wondering if anyone can help me out to make that game a lot better?
*Besides boots, I had them*

nobody is forcing you into teamfights, you need to assess the situation properly and what you need/should be doing at any given point in the game

i see from ur game history that you're in the normal bracket (< 3.3k I believe), so i'll let you in on some harsh but useful advice

you should forget about THINKING that you are anywhere near decent. fact is, the sooner you notice your mistakes, the sooner you will/can take steps to correct them. i advise making some friends with higher rated players and either playing with them or asking them what to do.

i'm not going to watch the replay since i would be able to type up a huge essay and the way people think about games differs depending on their level of play (meaning you might not even understand some of the things i say, the same way i don't understand everything a 6k player tells me) but just judging by the dotabuff your farm is abysmal and if you had 6 slots (satanic/travels/bkb/butterfly/manta/monkey king bar) you could've carried easily against the opponents. not to mention you have 500 tower damage which is 1/3 of a tower in 47 minutes.

good luck, dota has a steep learning curve so don't be discouraged.

also your main focus during the game should be winning (i.e. killing the throne/tree) instead of worrying about k/d. those stats indirectly affect your ability to win games of course, but one thing i've noticed most 3000-4000 players do is go on and on about how they went 20-0 and somehow didn't win because [insert reason, usually bad teammates].

having a good k/d is a side-effect of playing well in most games; however, if ur primary goal is higher k/d then you won't improve. (dagon riki, kill stealing zeus, etc. could get really high k/d but still not win games)

game impact is a far superior indicator of your performance, involving variables like kill participation, hero damage done, tower damage done, i.e. what did you do to help your team win the game
