DOTA2 MMR Calibration complete! Crusader VII!
After being away from my beloved DOTA2 for over 3 months, this week I have been playing that game once again (mostly because of the new MMR calibration) and after 10 excruciating ranked games, I finally earned myself this new rank/badge: Crusader VII! Which is a downgrade from my previous rank of Archon II but whatever! XD
Truth be told I am still adjusting with the changes on the game. I'm still not used to the new map (which was released 3 months ago days after I quit the game), which for a support player like me is very important.
"Ward placement" is a pretty big deal in the SEA Server as those "pro"-carries love to blame the support for their lack of map awareness XD.
I also have to adjust to some hero skill changes like my favourite hero Ancient Apparition. It caught me off guard while doing my first ranked matched when his 3rd skill were behaving as not what I expected. XD
Anyway, I had a 50% win-rate during my MMR Calibration. I'm really positive we could have win 2 of those 5 losses if not for the carries "over farming". I'm not a pro player but common decency dictates that if your enemy team has like 3 hard carries you try to end the game as early as you can.
We had a pretty good advantage gold/exp~wise 20min in the game so we should have pushed instead of our carries farming like crazy. (I know! I'm a little defensive and yeahh I am blaming them Lol XD)
I really did thought I would have ended in at least Archon III or IV knowing some of my teammates during calibration were of Legend and Ancient level, but yeahh it seems it's hard to calibrate high when you are playing support?!
Wow great you are a Crusader VII. I also noticed that the rank reduced for many people compared to last season.
I also agree that life of a support player is quite difficult in dota because we have to go through the mouth of carries and offlaners. I also play support heros a lot and when a carry in the team harasses, I'll stop supporting and play my own game. 😁😊 Not always but only with annoying players.

Thanks fellow support player! :)
Yep! A lot of players feel pro on this league lol
Some even compete as to who gets mid. On one of my matches, we get two heroes laning on mid because the two are just so stubborn to give way for the team lol
