Hey man, I'm the OD (Phenomnomnom). Thanks for watching this, I definitely didnt expect it to get reviewed. It had been a couple weeks since I played this one so the details are foggy. Watching it again, I definitely made a few mistakes in this game, but seeing the net worth by the end and seeing what my team was doing in lane makes me realize that at least this one L wasnt on me.
You did well, but not in early game. - You need to use astral more, as it increases your damage output for Ult. - You did not secure kills that were just there, several times. OD/CK/Axe are heroes that like to simply snowball out of control during mid-game. You missed out on that because you didn't secure kills. - You also didn't astral yourself when Muerta BKB Ulted many times. - You could have astral'd your teammates when they were engage in duel, or trapped in sky ult. + One positive in your build was that you got BKB + Aghs
you also died several times due to being 1/3rd HP and not going base, one of your last deaths you held on to force staff for no reason when you could have escaped with it most likely. But overall your team esp venge was so bad the game was 6v4 b/c of that venge
In your rank, winning or losing will 90-100% depend on your performance. Yes, you can solo carry your team to win in that rank. Just practice the basics & have the correct mindset (eg. Hitting your item timings, power spike, doing the things your hero is strong in)
At least in this particular game it seemed like you're noticeably better than your teamates, just not enough to get wins when your team plays really bad. If you improve your positioning and spell usage a bit (especially Astral for defense or kill securing), you will probably start winning such games and then climbing out of Herald will be pretty fast. If you don't improve, you'll probably get out of it eventually, it'll just take longer. I'd say you at least don't belong in the same bracket as this Venge, WD and Tusk.
@@ashwina.vardhan5831 thanks for the advice! If you watch the full stream it makes more sense why my early game was rough. It was a combination of skywrath buying clarities and spamming his abilities and my top lane feeding axe and legion. I managed to keep my farm up and started bringing back the kills around 20-30 mins. But even when I started getting big there were some super questionable plays. That's part of solo queue, I'm not trying to say I'm above it. Personal favorite was venge swapping on clockwerk... xD
I like these because you are suprised at herald play but not superior. I love that you don't trash them for playing less optimally but genuinely enjoy their games.
I’m impressed by the ending. They actually pushed and ended it in one go. It took only 50 minutes. It’s equivalent to 20 minutes in divine/immortal rank.
I have venge on my ban list not because I don't like playing against her but because I absolutely hate having my pos 1 swapped into the middle of fights so our 1hp venge can run away and die to vessel
@экспертпокражебаклажанов I really don't know what you're getting at, like yeah you can oversimplify any ban "oh why did you ban meepo he just hits people, any hero can do that"
@@Umicron_ as someone who played with friends that would regularly grief me: pudge, kotl, io, chen, and tusk are pretty great ways to send your carry straight into the enemy
Venge was pure shit. That hero is not that great right now when played properly but playing it this way is idiotic. Playing Zeus and ulting only to steal kills is more impactful than his ulties. The funniest thing is that Veng was such a great pick here, counters Axe+Sky or Legion+Sky or Clock+Sky.
@@elijahclark2667 yup. But down in Herald the only way out is to play a hero like ember that can win the game by himself on midlane. Otherwise, you are at the mercy of your team like shown here.
Honestly its pretty normal for new Players to click items. When I started dota I never played a game with a bunch of hotkeys before (just CS and CoD for example) - so I learned the heroes in demo / bot games and having my hand on qwer was already enough at the start. I started implementing the item keys later one at a time. Dota is actually so overwhelming at the start.
I have the opposite problem @@heyku I'm used to hotkey items, but I'm so bad at remembering I have them, that if I buy more than 1 then they just won't get used. So I just can't buy multiple actives outside of like tango
@@shirothefish9688 @heyku I've had both of those problems at the start (and a bunch more, of course) and one thing that helps with both of them is consistently playing heroes who build more or less the same active items and always placing them in the same slots, then focusing on that for a while. Eventually you'll get used to "Z is keep enemy close with Diffusal/Harpoon/Abyssal", "X is repositioning with Pike/Harpoon" or "C is the PANIC button with BKB/Ghost Scepter/sth" and can expand it to larger variety of heroes and items.
@@backstabba Hm, not sure. Maybe. Seemed pretty bad to me. Ofc not as bad as Venge who refuses to use ult or Witch Doc who apparently plays without a keyboard, but still.
@@Jonathanizer I think it is an achievement on its own to be stuck in Guardian and Herald. Good command of the basic mechanics should give you upper Archon on its own. Try harding gave me briefly Divine II, after not playing seriously for many months, I still got Legend IV.
@@backstabba im not stuck in archon cuz i rarely play ranked. the games are always 50+min and its so boring if you are hella farmed and the enemy not, you could end but all 4 of your teammates are farming. thats the problem imo. not mechanics
Apart from OD not using half his kit in fights, being out of position in every possible situation I have found (out of 1k+ games I qeued with my Archon friend, that if you have newbies, drunks or just straight brainless roadkill like here in your team: Let them go in first, stand behind them, clean up. Worst thing is to let them solo chainfeed all game, get something out of their deaths.
The OD was definitely herald but high herald not herald 2. He doesn't fully understand his abilities and how to utilize them. But that venge belongs in a tier below herald and somebody needs to buy Witch Doctor a keyboard😭
I got 1 friend that most of the time in herald.he always frustrated and asking me how to escape that cesspool. Basically like everyday playing rank. The furthest he manage to climb is guardian 2 then a week later bounced back to herald 😂. I think he is the actual problem... im not interested climbing or playing rank yet my hidden rank hovers around archon. Idk what he is doing in game nor i know what advice i should give to up his rank lol.
watching that venge playing brought me flashbacks of rage omg. Then the wd and tusk feeding made things worse. I kinda understand od, however, if you are good enough, leaving herald is quite easy, so no, most of the time you are the problem
Unless of course you are just around the boundary between Herald and Guardian. Escaping Herald with that skill level I believe would require teammates with actual brain cells. And yeah, obviously it hinges on having cooperative teammates. Like the last bit, if they actually regrouped they could've pushed it back. But they just panicked and went in.
Your team can hold you back in Herald if you are destroying their mental fortitude and being an ass. Either don't communicate using vc/chat OR be as positive as possible if you're at this situation, you don't benefit at ALL from causing your team to be any more mad.
If OD actually wants to get better, just watch your game, look at your positioning and what you could do better. Two lategame fights were lost cause of huge axe calls. If you stand at the side or back and not get called you can just pur axe away and you win both Fights. The reason pros pick OD is not his dmg, but the astral. You can either put an enemy out of the fight or, even more important, save your teammte. If you focus on that at the start of the fight and improve your positioning you will easily win games.
there only so much thing you could do but you still cant stop your teammate doing dumb shit and at some point enemies can just walk over all your hard work then gg
sure he could do better but for a herald he is definitely good, i m 6.5k and even divine dogs sometimes just play for dmg who are like 5k. And my friend is crussader od spammer he would almost never use astral to save, herald shouldnt even be compared to pros lol. Not to mention (good) od never gets astral more than lvl 1 when playing against rubick still plays the game, so no the hero isnt only about astral.
@@peacefulmind1771 I never compared him to a pro, omg. I just explained what the special thing about OD is. If you just wanna do dmg, pick Lina. I'm just giving advice how to get better, because complaining about teammates won't gain you MMR. And if you are 6k you should notice that he easily wins this game if he doesn't get axe called and puts him away after jump. That lost 2 lategame fights and turned the game. So I don't care how much dmg and kills he did before, he did his job as a mid good, ok, but he choked when it mattered - because he doesn't think about standing back and using astral. Just turn your head on, especially when you push vs aoe heroes and stand a bit back - easy win here.
From personal experience as someone who was actually being held back in rank because of his teammates, I can say this is not the case here xD. I had stopped playing for 3 years and I came back like 2 months ago. Back when I was playing 3 years ago I was rank Legend 4, but now when I calibrated, it decided to put me in Herald 5, and I was like "I don't agree with that rank, but I guess I've become weaker". Then it turned out that Herald 5 was so far off my rank that I could solo games, thus I had like 10-12 game winning streaks completely flying though Guardian and at about Crusader 2 I started losing a lot, but it was a very weird feeling, like I play mid, and I win like 90%+ of my lanes, but I end up losing the games somehow, was stuck at 2000MMR for like 3 weeks, then I decided to stop playing heroes that can't solo win games and started just playing OD, Storm and Necro, and a week ago I noticed this crownfall event and the double down tokens it gives, which made me play seriously 1 day last Saturday, which was over 90% winrate over 2 days resulting in +800mmr and I went from Guardian 4 to Archon 4. And even at that rank, I still feel like people play worse than me, however it's a lot closer now, thus me playing a bit better then the other mid wins my team the game as the 2 side lanes don't fail too much anymore. I went to my wife hometown for new years and I won't be playing for 2 weeks, and I wonder when I come back and start reaching the rank I used to be, if I am just going to continue climbing or will be stuck at Legend ;). Maybe I'll have to watch some more guides and start playing some new heroes, as of now 95% of my games are either Storm, OD, Shaker and Necro xD
If you don't have people to play with consistently this can absolutely happen to anyone. I was formerly in Archon but since I like to to talk shit in game I would always get reported. This was before the specified reports were in place so I could be doing my job, everything I am supposed to do, even my team winning the game, I would still get reported because people are sore losers. My account got sent to the shadow pool and i literally ended up losing like 30games in a row all the way to herald. I stopped playing the game for almost 2 years. When I came back to playing the game the report system was changed to its current version, I managed to get all the way back to crusader and then fell into a losing skid all the way back to herald. I've played this game since the warcraft3 days, there is no way in hell my skill level is with these players, yet i cannot escape them since I have no one to play with. I am not claiming to be a superstar or anything and I fully acknowledge that I have bad games at times. I just can't stand playing this game with players like this. I truly believe its impossible to get out of it by solo queuing. I really think Dota is a great game by design and concept, but the players make the game, and the players I am forced to play with are absolutely horrible.
You have major skill issue, i climbed from 3k to 8k mmr without being able to talk once nor communicate at all in game. Nowadays i can talk whenever my behavior gets good enough, but after few games i get reported once again :D
Your ego is holding you back. The game is nothing like it was in WC3, that history is irrelevant. You fundamentally do not understand the game, and until you check your ego and learn something new you will never progress. You could drop me into herald with 0 comm score and I'd win 90% of my games just by getting super farmed on free kills and unpushed waves. Go watch a guide or something.
you know what I realized? These heralds are incredibly good MOBA players, like League players but they're just terrible Dota 2 players because they never bothered with game mechanics being involved. Other games don't have these mechanics. You can just hit and disengage. There's no "pulling aggro" or "wave control" or other nuances. Just straight forward things like "kill or die"

I went to my wife hometown for new years and I won't be playing for 2 weeks, and I wonder when I come back and start reaching the rank I used to be, if I am just going to continue climbing or will be stuck at Legend ;).

My account got sent to the shadow pool and i literally ended up losing like 30games in a row all the way to herald. I stopped playing the game for almost 2 years.
When I came back to playing the game the report system was changed to its current version, I managed to get all the way back to crusader and then fell into a losing skid all the way back to herald. I've played this game since the warcraft3 days, there is no way in hell my skill level is with these players, yet i cannot escape them since I have no one to play with. I am not claiming to be a superstar or anything and I fully acknowledge that I have bad games at times. I just can't stand playing this game with players like this. I truly believe its impossible to get out of it by solo queuing. I really think Dota is a great game by design and concept, but the players make the game, and the players I am forced to play with are absolutely horrible.
the only constant is you
You have major skill issue, i climbed from 3k to 8k mmr without being able to talk once nor communicate at all in game. Nowadays i can talk whenever my behavior gets good enough, but after few games i get reported once again :D
archon is considering nothing bro, Im just legend before, after long vacuum I came back and get divine
Your ego is holding you back. The game is nothing like it was in WC3, that history is irrelevant. You fundamentally do not understand the game, and until you check your ego and learn something new you will never progress. You could drop me into herald with 0 comm score and I'd win 90% of my games just by getting super farmed on free kills and unpushed waves. Go watch a guide or something.
Find 2-3 big cores like storm spirit and play only mid its how i left herald behind me (me with OD mainly !)
you know what I realized? These heralds are incredibly good MOBA players, like League players but they're just terrible Dota 2 players because they never bothered with game mechanics being involved. Other games don't have these mechanics. You can just hit and disengage. There's no "pulling aggro" or "wave control" or other nuances. Just straight forward things like "kill or die"
What? Nobody in herald is a 'good' moba player, it has very little to do with game specific mechanics.
@ nah, that's your own pride. Take those players and yourself into league and theyll wreck you.
Sometimes bait is believable
I think this vengeful would feed with ez heros like garen in the lower bracket xD
