General DiscussionDaily reminder to stop insta locking mid if you are lower than the av...

You can't stop stubborn people

Yeah They just can't play any other roles because they are talented in the kill kill and throw game role their MMR doesnt define anything

Im always doing that. If im on solo q, if not of course i pick heroes what weve plan, i pick heroes to boost my mmr. its not all about mmr avr, not becuase you are the highest mmr in your im ure the only one who can pick carry/mid.

Spam

I first pick mid even when the avg is 1k above my mmr kappa 123

thats why you are still 1k.

seriously i lost so many games because some autistic kid has to instapick his mid hero. gets counterpicked, dies 3 times in laning stage and team starts to flame. gg wp

best example was some kid with dark autistry set for invoker, instapicked invo mid. he got a viper mid, got rekt horribly even though we tried to help him with at least 5 or 6 TP rotations.
2 people started to flame him like madmen and we lost

Stop instalocking mid when you're like 500mmr below avg, otherwise it doesn't matter

daily reminder to stop telling ppl what to do
i will instapick mid when im 1k below avg if i feel like playing mid

always instalock mid cus you're a mid player

especially if you're 4k in a 6k avg match, your 7k teammates love this

Try telling that in SEA server.

on serious note : how low is the odds for a 4k mid to win against 6-7k mid?

unless his 6-7k teammates gank for him and suck his dick off

basically none

This shouldn't be an issue tbh. Any player should be able to play any role to equal effect. Problem is you get high mmr games with huge deviations from the average. So now only the highest is allowed to play core?

Mid or feed lol

the argument against this is that he's probably what mmr he is by spamming mid, meaning he's likely 1-2k lower playing something such as support.

the argument against having a guy who is 300-500 mmr below average is that when he imminently fails, u r down one core, and in the meta where MID is quite important it's that much harder to come back. Ask my 4-15 Lina, with 0 bloodstone charges

are u one of those ppl who go apeshit when x-300 mmr players "steal" x mmr player's core position?

oh i am so sorry for insta locking mid the other day when i had the lowest mmr in the game

This shouldn't be an issue for u.

4596
SOLO MMR

Something tells me you're the kind of person who feeds if they don't get mid

I don't really play mid that much, and never really instalock it either. I am most comfortable on offlane but yes it does bother me when 4.1-4.2 k takes it from our 4.8k+ and then 15 min in you are missing your mid tower and the guy struggles to comeback. Now I understand everyone has an off game every now and then I just noticed that it happens fairly often especially in 4.3-4.5 average mmr games that sometimes do have pretty big disparity if you aren't playing during peak hours.

I mean, i insta pick techies offlane because i personally have the best winrate with it. Does my team want it? no, not at all, do i care? no, not at all. Solo matchmaking is everyone doing what they think is best for thier given game, or should be at any rate. Maybe pick ur mid faster
