General DiscussionHow are you mentally when starting ranked games?

gotta play with no care in the world.

Hoping I can get my role and I don't have 40% win rate smurfs in my team or retards, flamers and...

I'm quite worried cause i know what i can expect - mostly dogshit players. If i see people in my team are actually decent or are at least trying, i usually commend them no matter the result. I just pray that enemy team is as dumb as my teammates. If that actually happen i'm satisfied.

Depends but usually excited .

Nothing, fck them.

have a desire to actually play doto

dont give up until your throne is destroyed

constantly ask yourself what to do next to gain more advantage

dont be a bitch and keep pause for ~5 minutes if somebody needs it

go game with positive attitude (i know it can be very hard to keep it up on eu/us, yet raging has no positive impact. if youre decent then most people will jump on the train with you and game will feel so much more fun! oh youll also get some commends. remember everyone on your team wants to win as well, help ragers find the light)

dodo?

andy duane only care about andy duane

Ya, ragers and feeders have a silver of willing to win even in their darkest hours. Comfort them or claim them that they are good to bring them back to light.

Anxious as fu##.
Heart beating fast.
Esp. On picking phase.
Does the enemy plays the hero a lot? Good win rate? Are my teammate bad at his hero? Will the supp buy wards and put on his lane?

Oh Bounty is being picked, if my support mate is smart he'll buy sentry. Ok we lost. I'll buy the sentry anyway but I'm the carry and my lane is hard to farm... I don't give a damn anymore man.

My usual life in dota.

I used to be a little nervous about ranked until i realized that it doesnt really mean too much to lose.

On the other hand i used to play games with stakes of $2000-3000 in a single round.

WARNING: SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION

I prayed that the opponent didn't took it too hard before I started this game

Im worried that i will get counterpicked hard and have a bad earlygame with perma 5 manning enemies
