Top 5 Tools To Help Gain MMR In Season 3

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

What's up, everybody, it's Chuckie here from Send Noobs Dota 2 Podcast. It has been a while. I know what you're thinking, where the fuck have you been? But believe it or not, we've been really busy. We've just not been able to get together with all three of us living all over the country.

And we've had a break period with Christmas, seeing the family, spending time. Tom, he's had a little girl. Also with that, we've just not been able to get the time together to make it online. So I thought I would go solo. To say it's been a long time is an understatement. So let's just get right back into it. The new MMR season started, and everyone's trying to climb that proverbial mountain that is MMR. It can be challenging. Believe you me, I've been in them trenches. I'm still in them trenches fighting the good fight, trying to bring myself up. Just got to persevere, fight through, and eventually you'll be able to get to where you want to be. So let's get right into it. So number five, watching professional players stream. This goes without saying, to be a professional player, they've done something right. So to mimic them is an awesome way to start. If you've lost, just find a professional player that plays certain heroes that you like to play, and then just watch them. Watch what they do, how they play, where they roam, what they do, the mechanics of that hero. And then eventually you'll pick up and just try and mimic it in your games and bring little bits at a time across to how you play your game and how you can better yourself and hopefully gain MMR by doing so. So to do this, watch it on Twitch, YouTube, you name it.

Just watch it. And also, if you've got Amazon Prime, nothing says thank you more than a free sub. Some of the streams I like to watch, Wagga, he's pretty decent. Like I told Bulldog, but more from a entertainment point of view, especially now he seems to have moved over to professional Dota chess player.

Number four, training polygon. So within Dota itself, you've got the arcade. And within that, if you search polygon, you'll get the training polygon. And what this will enable you to do is practice some of them skills you may not be so slick on. So you can brush up on your skills. A lot of people play it just before they go into a game. So they're not rusty when they go into the game. They're hitting the hooks, hitting the arrows and the last hit. You can practice anything in there. You can use man to dodge it, anything, you name it. It is in there and it is beneficial for you to use. So just go into the arcade search that. There's two that normally comes up and pretty decent program. Number three, this may not be an obvious one to you. However, something I found really useful when going forward with my MMR this season is using Dota Buff.

Sounds bizarre, I know, but believe you me, it is working. So what I mean by using Dota Buff is if you go into Dota Buff, find your profile, go onto your heroes and then change it to the timeframe to the MMR season. What this will enable you to do is to see what heroes you are winning on.

Once you highlight what heroes you are winning on, then you can adjust your game and play a limited pool of heroes that you are playing well with. This will then in turn enable you to bring your MMR score up and hopefully climb that ladder to the top. It's not guaranteed that you're gonna be winning more, but if you put everything in your favour, then you've got the best chance you can. So in at number two is Gameleap.

Similar to Twitch and YouTube, so Gameleap, what that is, it is a site that is a subscription base where you pay a fee and it gives you access to content created by high level Dota 2 players that will help you nail mechanics, specific heroes, roles to play. It's all on there, it's really good content and I recommend it to anyone who's just thinking about it. It's not expensive at all and for what you get, what you pay for, what you get is amazing. Great content and it's well worth the money spent.

In at number one is Podcasts and YouTube. Not necessarily something that you think of to go straight to or be the most informative way of watching, especially when you've got videos and you've got all the other great content that I've mentioned before. However, I'd highly recommend it. Reasons being is one, you can just put it on, listen to it in the background. You don't have to be fully listening to podcasts to be taking something from it. Two, there's various different ways of watching it. You can have it on your phone, you can have it on in the car, you can have it on the PC at home watching it on YouTube. Some really good content out there. Now, what I would recommend with this is you find one that you can actually relate to, you can listen to, and you can take in stuff. Now, for me, I like Dota Alchemy. I think it's an amazing podcast.
