I am 5400 mmr (divine 4) and the people i play with and have been for months now are only 1k mmr or lower. Obviously we do not play ranked, so we do unranked All Pick. Over the months though i can tell they have gotten frustrated playing in my games for unranked due to people being higher above them, usually archon is average in our games with one ancient or divine player thrown in. They are all guardian and i can tell they now avoid playing with me because they just want fair games which i completely understand, so what do i do? I wont lie i have a smurf account but havent played on it since the ban wave, and I never played ranked on it once, i used it for this exact scenario (to play with low mmw friends for fun in ONLY unranked). So i just dont understand what I am suppose to do, not play with them anymore? Like its just extremely frustrating knowing theyre the only dota people I play with but cannot do so much anymore because of my rank.
I honestly am super laid back when playing with them. I always understand they do not know everything. Most of the time I see one of them do something dumb I just laugh it off and sometimes I laughingly tell them how they could’ve done something differently, because the issue is they get angry. Last week one of the 3 got so mad he straight abandoned the game, which was a first. It is just sad for me because it is honestly the only group I have been able to play with for a really long time and it feels like they are not down to play with me anymore.
