Hi, I just want to ask if it’s possible to climb high mmr by being position 4 or 5 only? I just came back to dota 2 and I went from Crusader 1 to Archon 1 currently. I’m just worried cause I haven’t trained myself being in other position ever since I quit dota previously, and I’m currently liking how chill is for position 4 and 5.

Btw my region is SEA server so you know how horrible it is.

    Most players underestimate how much 4/5 contribute. Just watch the BSJ educational smurf series. There was a venge game where he was like 2-0-4 at 6:00 and had already single handedly snowballed the entire game as pos5.

    Also a lot of people have this mindset that they need to win EVERY game to rank up. So they get into this “I must carry” mindset. When really you just need more than 50% win rate and to grind out games. Obviously a great support can influence games by enough to achieve a 53% win rate over 1000 games. Which is realistically what you are after when ranking up, not 85% winrates that are unachievable unless smurfing.
