I started writing this as a response to u/bobandjoe12 in the other thread (/r/DotA2/comments/5laos8/dear_ixmike88/?st=ixdmuca9&sh=8d416e43), but as I went on I thought it best to make this a post in itself because of its length. So sorry for the format and wording, I guess this was originally addressed to him but I started to direct it right at you guys, since I sincerely hope at least one of you can get the message to the rest of you. It's at your own discretion if you think it's a worthwhile read.

It's tactless, yes, but it is also a worthwhile read, and something ixmike needs to acknowledge. I won't go over your mushtash unless you want me to, but I will explain in short why current Mike is failing.

If we go back to this game and watch games from IXMike's perspective we can see that Mike is the one directing earlygame movement on the map by feeding mid. As the game goes to later mid and lategame it transitions to Mike dictating the gameflow. This makes sense as Mike has some of the best gamesense of how to utilize his couriers around him to take mid. We see how he knows exactly when to pressure opponents with a courier on him for example, countless games where he baits opponents into bad fights at odd angles by pretending to be out of position while feeding couriers etc. His team always deferred to his pings and the little lines he would draw that showed the clear movement paths and objectives that were important at the moment. That much is clear. As much as I would like to I don't have the privilege of listening to their ingame comms, so I can only study what is shown in replays and on the provided stream cameras that show players in the booth or rooms.

the ixmike reddit thread triggered me so much, how fucking stupid can they be

>>164231958
hes like lebanese or something

>>164232139
I'll get to the other players and how they mesh in a moment, but for now let's talk about team dynamics and mental fortitude and attitude. Confidence is one of the biggest requirements to play at the highest level. Trust is absolutely, 200% necessary to play well as a team. If you are not in sync at the most basic level of "Do I trust this guy?" then your entire game will be thrown off and you have no psychological ground or reason to have full confidence in your teammates' play and decision making. It flows both ways. You need to give your teammates a reason to trust you, and your trust needs to be earned and fought for in good play and judgement. Doubt destroys players and teams. Doubt in oneself destroys personal play, doubt in others destroys cohesion, and this creates a deadly cycle that modern teams with poor support structures cannot readily recover from.

Mike proved this himself by having a phenomenal run at ProDota Cup Americas #4 with a team no one thought would make it so far by taking the important step of bringing in someone who would help your team's communication. This simple step undoubtedly improved your chances and against all odds you had a great run. I'm not about to keep twirling your stash, and I know everyone might just meme on you for being that mother molesting guy who slams MILFS, but your drafting was excellent and you managed to, if I were to be honest, compensate for your offlane play by serving as an excellent team captain.

>>164232139
>>164232301
man why

>>164232216
i was referring to him being unwashed and uncivilized

>tfw pros will never admit they go to d2g.

>>164232301
Hypothetically, if your other players didn't trust you because of, say, instances where you failed in offlane, then they would be much more reluctant to listen to you even if you were ultimately right. I think a lot of this was avoided by the communications training your team received.

Now let's get back to the subject at hand. Mike is someone whose playmaking in the lategame has saved his team's ass countless times. Now that his play isn't as pristine we have to wonder what has happened. He always struck me as, from what I've gathered from replays and the few games I've had the pleasure of pubbing with him on the same team, the type of guy who will give a loud vote to a team. He will get all ragey or flamey, he will boss people around, and he just identifies plays and executes them if he knows he can trust his teammates. He was clutch in the lategame because he was always handed a hero with a game-influencing tool that could bring lost games back from the abyss. Hell, in his hands, looking at his own hero and how it could impact the game, he probably always had confidence that a game was never truly lost, barring a complete breakdown in the team dynamic. He probably was honestly very pissed that he didn't play void in TI4. Sorry Mason, you played great, but Mike void is just a comfort hero for a reason.

>>164232436

their mothers and he should know that boys were afraid of him and his genetic pool for good reason.

On to IxMike. His understanding of the earlygame is unparalleled. Theoretically a team with the lategame, objective-minded focus of Mike, the playmaking kingship of Mike, the innovation and risk-taking of Mike, the space-making sacrificial and others-minded couriers, and early-game lane disruption domination of Mike should be one of the best teams ever assembled. Why has it fallen flat? What is interfering with this team's ability to perform? Throwback. VG starts to have internal issues, Hao starts drafting. C9 starts to have internal issues (I'll touch on this later), bone7 starts drafting. The list is endless. Team having problems? Maybe a new drafter will fix things. Historically I don't see much basis for success when this occurs. A large part of it might be purely due to the fact that your team is sort of already doomed if the dynamic has decomposed that much to where your drafter, a hugely important role and component of any dota team, has drafting duties pulled. A team on the outs in such a fashion rarely recovers regardless of if the new drafter is actually a better drafter for a given patch because of how bad the team environment has already gotten.

And what did this pub team do? They let Anonymous draft, and we can see the rest of the team mentally checked out, clearly anxious, and basically looking in no shape to perform at their peaks. Part of it may have been Anonymous suggesting he draft, but part of it is possibly largely coming from the deflation of Mike's own confidence in drafting and leading. A series of hard losses will do that to anyone, and especially so if it would appear that, on paper at least, you should be winning games handily. Such results must be confounding, frustrating, and heart-breaking at a fundamental level.

>>164232576
I know that you yourself have player shopped countless times and it's always a hard decision. I could go for a cheap joke but I won't. If things are going well then the decision is probably even harder to let go of players who have been playing well for you if you know there are players with higher perceived potential performance you know are willing to come on board with you. Would you be willing to let go of 人生は愛です and [CR] BOBO if they had just won you a major through fierce play and fluid, coordinated pressure applied at just the right times to seemingly unstoppable opponents? What if their replacements would be Anonymous and Anonymous? I could go on about this but this issue is one that may have been influenced at a business level given their star power, and as a business picking up two of the most popular players in the game never sounds like a bad idea.

That team worked because Mike was the fresh face and probably deferred to established figures while also playing amazingly, Mike was given aggressive offlaners and knew how to punish complacent farmers, Mike's aggressiveness was meted and backed up by two other cores who were always on the same page as him, Mike was always there for his teammates and is a natural roamer, Mike knew how to cater to a team that put early pressure on an opponent and could depend on and keep confidence in himeself and his stash in the lategame, so on and so forth. Everyone meshed well and there was little to no overlap in the mindsets of the players as far as how the game was approached.

>>164232762
Mike and this couriers were on the same page on that team. Let's take a step back and look at c9 with FATA on it during I believe The Summit 3. There was a game, I'm not sure which, but in this game C9 is radiant and is on thin ice. Maybe confidence was already lost before, but in my opinion what confidence between EE and his couriers that remained was shattered when EE indicates to his team (I believe this was justified as the only possible play) they needed to punish the other team hard by feeding couriers. The enemy team was right above top lane outside radiant base and EE's QOP blinks forward aggressively only to see that couriers withheld confidence and continued backing up. This is where the entire team fell through but in reality this is an example of where the strategic mind of EE is most brilliant. Given any bullshit circumstance his brain fires fastest when under extreme pressure and he delivers some of the craziest fucking ideas this side of the Milky Way. It's just unfortunate that the pair didn't understand each others' approaches to the game well enough to justify their own actions ingame in a reasonable enough manner to recover from the permatilt that this iteration of C9 died from thereon out. Couriers are more measured creatures who finds their farm, plays well in lane, and plays reasonable dota. Nothing wrong with that. The shortcoming of that approach is the attitude that there is a such thing as a lost game, and the inability to become unconventional enough or insane enough (are they not the same thing sometimes?) to see how a win can be netted.

>>164232883
EE on the other hand is a player who can do something like face EG (I think it was EG? Wait I think it was, I'm tired as fuck.) with a supposedly shitty hand (no offense former C9ers, though different than the C9 I was just talking about) at I think the previous Summit (Or was it an international...) and come out with things like (I don't know if he's the one that suggested it) a pressure roaming tiny to invade enemy territory against a team that was supposed to demolish you at every stage of the game and be in the weirdest times at the weirdest places to come out with wins, or in EE's case, enough 2nd places to drive any normal human being insane. EE's main problem is that he is literally fucking uncomfortable playing a normal fucking game of dota where he dosnt feed couriers. He literally plays dota from the perspective of someone so insane that he believes everyone is as fucking bonkers as he is, and his actions reflect a mindset that he is fearful of plays and comebacks from enemies as insane as he is. And in a weird, fucked up way he ends up being right, because this poltergeist crawling 6 feet up his ass and destroying him in games he should have won ends up being his own fear of being out mindgamed by an opponent who never knows when to sit down and see that a game clearly should be over.

>>164232809
this games fucking shit

>>164233000
Throws aren't accidents, they're the frantic, desperate thoughts and actions of someone so scared of brilliance that they fail to see their own brilliant mind has paved for themselves a nice, stable pathway to victory. He's so busy building these roads that he forgets to trot on them happily once they've been built, because he never. Stops. Fucking. Building Them. Mike, if you read this, I'm not saying you should take meds to kill your brilliance, I'm not saying don't fear a brilliant opponent. I'm saying that you are what this pub team needs now more than ever in a dota world where so many other geniuses will also come to fruition. You need to lay a path for you and your teammates to tread upon, but only when conventional means of dota will fail you.

If you see a scary pocket play developing at the draft screen, calmly inform your team. Run pocket plays in scrims against opponents you know you won't be facing in upcoming, large tournaments. Don't reveal your anti-meta trends before they're absolutely necessary, and make sure your team is prepared to perform them. Your draft wasn't bad, but you need to have the team practice them to know what you envision the goals and methods necessary with the drafts will be. This way there will be no confusion when this is occurring. And don't visibly show a swap in drafting roles when you do so, as opponents will see the tell of you drafting quite clearly. Show as little change in your own input between normal drafts and pocket drafts. But run the strats beforehand and have a playbook with options for variations, have this be memorized between you and 人生は愛です and whoever else has input at the drafting stage, and be able to silently pivot to the pocket strat during the last few pick or ban phases. Never pick weird shit too early in the draft.

>>164233134
And take your wins calmly, keep your cool and know that your team has your back, but also learn to respect when you don't need to dive, or don't need to sneak rosh, or don't need to push highground. Basically contain your craziness to when it's needed both ingame and in the draft, because when all your team needs to do is play safe, regular, hey look I'm winning maybe I don't need to suicide for a rax we don't need type of dota, good ole fashioned dota then that's all your team needs you to be. You aren't playing on an old Team Freedom with mechanically inferior players who only win because you tell them some crazy shit and you run around like maniacs for an hour and win a game no one in a million years but you and the team you convinced to drink your crazy punch thought you could win, you're playing on a team that can fucking win their lanes and win games if you just contribute what carries on other good tier 1 teams have to do sometimes. If a team looks godlike and impervious to prevailing meta strategies, however... you know what to unleash.

Back to Mike. Mike, you have these guys on your team now so don't regret your decision. Stop regretting it. I know you're full of it. I can't even quantify in my head the raw level of regret you must have had every time you led Liquid to a second place Premier League Season 4 finish. Stop thinking about it like that. You managed to persevere through so much to get where you are and stay relevant while so much changed around you. Dota changes from patch to patch but a core concept always remains unchanged. It is subdivided by time, level progression, and itemization into stages of the game. You are the king of fucking up other people's earliest laning phase and helping push your team to the stage where you are able to collectively shove outer towers and establish map control.

>>164233248
Others can't see the nuance in how you manage to do this time and again, and I'm not saying I know all of the magic that makes this possible, but it's clear to me that you know exactly how, when and where to poke holes in the comfort bubbles of the other guys to the point where they don't even feel comfortable defending their tier 1 towers. But you have a problem on your team and it will crumble under you if you do not staunch the bleeding now.

Do not fall inwards into yourself once again. Do not on the other hand think you are infallible or unassailable as a way to artificially recover your ego and confidence. Shoulder an equal, not outsized, part of the blame for your team's failings. But make them see their own and offer up a solution. Immediately force your management to muster up a strong backbone of couriers. Immediately hire a sports psychologist and someone skilled in communication under duress. You have coaches, but they clearly aren't addressing the non-dota, yet very dota related issues eating away at your team. The Meta-level of it is that your team misunderstands each other now because of the false premise that seeing someone play dota for long enough makes you understand where they are coming from. It doesn't, unless you are able to fully understand why that person thinks and plays the way they do. And that doesn't come until people start truly seeing that they are just as capable as they always were, and remembering and relearning why past success in each instance was obtained and the uniqueness of each moment.

"Wtf retard?" is what I imagine you're thinking right now. Bear with me bro, I've played enough dota with you to know that you'll think about this for a split second and understand what I'm saying. I know IxMike understands by now, but I'll spell it out for anyone who is confused. Mike is still Mike. That's what makes Mikey great. If your team doesn't have a IxMike, then you're going to get fucked early, and you're going to get fucked hard.

Mike and couriers both win lanes and know that objectives are fucking important. They can farm, sure, but they don't farm excessively. They know when they can throw down a tower or two. They know when it's safest to rosh. They know exactly the moment when you can highground safely. They make an advantage and enjoy it within reason. They're the kind of guys that see the safest route to making sure those red blips on the map are taken out when it's needed.

They also check out mentally if they think their captain is in the wrong on a draft. They get pissed is someone makes a bad call. Don't let 人生は愛です fall into this pattern. Don't let your team fall into opposing camps again. Try to bridge the gap. Don't sit on separate couches like you allowed yourselves to do at the summit. Don't let anyone fall into a spiraling depression of silence or uncaring and don't let anyone quietly whisper your team to shreds, you say, to shreds, including yourself.

EE is Mike. Good ole Mike. Good ole Mike. There's one key difference. When pressure mounts Mike increases his performance exponentially. When pressure mounts on EE, however, things get... weird. Mike puts tremendous pressure on his lane opponent and is okay with having an unsafe or weird lane matchup. He's not a fucking quitter when games get ugly. He just buys more rapiers. He knows that every inventory slot can be turned into a rapier if it has to, and he'll be damned if he lets the throne die without giving the enemy a fuckton of a hard time. But he can buy rapiers and do all this crazy shit because he knows the upper echelon of the safety range of what he can withstand in terms of damage whereas IxMike... perhaps not so much doesn't, but simply doesn't receive the same protection that Mike receives when he becomes the sole carry in a game.

Or, importantly at least in the games I'm thinking about, he doesn't have a team with enough of both pure defensive support I keep you alive please don't ever die ability in at least one of the supports, and doesn't have a draft that allows his team to win a huge teamfight against an overfarmed opponent. And he certainly doesn't have a team that understands when it's necessary to take such risks and back the bold decision to do so up with confidence. Don't let IxMike start distrusting his team so much that he buys rapiers every game when it's not needed, and don't let him undervalue any players like Mike did.

IxMike and couriers both understand positioning so fucking well that teams are foolish to think they can be safe clustered together.

>>164233639
Huge teamfight starting plays or teamfight saving counterplays at key times underpinned by a team willing to follow this up with an onslaught of destruction or make a safe as fuck narrow escape are what make these guys fun to watch. I'm on the fence about even suggesting that your team swap Anonymous and Anonymous and you and Anonymous on roles because of how good your potential is as things stand. But I feel like your team could be much more dynamic if you sometimes drafted around the concept of a farmed IxMike on a playmaking aoe hero and a dual laned Mike on a hard carry with early and mid or even roaming potential. This would be great if you run a lineup with Mike as the pushing power because imo that's one of the things he's best at. Don't let Anonymous get all quiet and emo and only trust one other person on the team like Anonymous did.

And not to insult you too deeply, as no insult is intended, but maybe you and Anonymous should swap roles more often. You're both great at ganking, but you should determine which games call for you to be the true 5 and pld given a hero that both roams and scales incrementally with incidental farm. I'm not saying that you're bad at what you do, but given their history (Anonymous and Anonymous) it might be an immediate short-term boon if you were to allow Anonymous and Anonymous more farm to work in conjunction with each other and Anonymous/Anonymous to smooth out the early and midgame. At the least this gives them time to calibrate to each other's ingame dota body language, because you've already played defensive support for Anonymous and Anonymous enough to know how to keep them safe while underfarmed.

This also avoids the Anonymous/Anonymous/everyone ever problem of an extremely underfarmed player growing resentment and the, "I can player core better than this retard, fuck him" attitude that players like Anonymous also developed in reverse of, "fuck this support, so useless rofl why I carry him". This is because a lot of the resentment stems from seeing players absorb farm and appear ineffectual even if more factors were at play than were visible to the 5. This occurs naturally because you're literally staring at your core's ass for half the goddamned game babysitting them all and wondering if you could have won if you had been able to farm some fucking items. You should shoulder this burden for a lot of games for now until your team starts to develop trust.

I also suggest this because I know Anonymous the least from a dota standpoint aside from the beautiful time-wasting buffoonery he would lead people on to spare his team precious seconds on the map, and I feel like his antics could only be enhanced by having him have a few items in this current meta. Oh, and importantly, give him a hero that can fucking do something.

I know it's old, and I know it's simplistic to even bring up the example, but I want to see a IxMike that identifies the pick for his new Anonymous and slap some skywrath ults in cogs or chronos. Don't tie his hands by not giving the guy a hero that can piss off his enemies, or at the least obliterate them every minute. Anonymous and Anonymous clearly need time to adjust before they can get familiar, they haven't played with each other like Anonymous and Anonymous have before. I know it's weird to suggest, but I think Anonymous and Anonymous should pub together sometimes.

Or, you know, you're the goddamned king of the jungle. LC's ult into skywrath ult ain't bad, right? Just kidding man. Sort of... Don't let Anonymous doubt himself just because people mock him because his impact seems indeterminable like [CR] BOBO did. [CR] BOBO spiraled into the positive feedback loop of having a bad game, fearing getting cut, having a worse game, fearing getting axed, and so on and so forth fucking infinitely. You just cut two people when you won, dude. You need to let [CR] BOBO and the rest of your team know that you're going to make this shit work. You need to applaud him loudly for his successes. You need to give him space to grow and reasons to be optimistic, not plant and nurture seeds of doubt that will make him afraid of taking the big risks in game that might see him feed a few times yet prevents a hugely farmed core from eating a smoke gank. Hey, I'm getting tired and I'm sure I've written enough of a sampler for you to chew on. I hope you all fare well in coming months.

his suicide was reworked, it now has 1000 range takes like 2 secs to charge and deals like 400/500/600/700 dmg (no 200 range for half dmg shit). it takes 50% of your hp and silences for like 6 seconds or some shit. it also has a 32sec cooldown.

a lot of other shit changed too but instead of just fucking shitting in the jungle and waiting for kills you can follow your team and plant mines behind you or jump into fights

Then it isn't maining. You need to be good with at least, say, five heroes, but not a lot.

Even Bulldog would be 4k max if he ONLY played furion.

but you can go forth and make life hell for your fellow gameshitters by exploiting that which they also exploit

>>164243441
It is when 1/3 of the heroes are out of meta.

>>164243628
how is it even possible to maintain a 60% WR while only playing ranked

the goal of the matchmaking system is to give both teams (thus each player) a 50% chance to win by giving them equal opponents

because they are abusing overpowered heros by maining them (picking them at a massively higher rate than the overall hero pool)

wew lad

>>164243275
>best pros are known for their performance on a handful of heros
And? Thats because they scrim with those heroes so they pick them a lot, that doesn't mean those are the only heroes they can play. What the fuck does this have to do with anything? Do you think if you spam omniknight to 5k you'll be comparable to admiral bulldog on furion or some shit?

>everyone at high MMR has a few choice heros they mained to get there
Most people have a role they mained to get there, the role is far more important the the hero. And in higher mmrs people are very flexible anyways since the meta is changing so much.

You've provided nothing to suggest that maining a hero makes you good at the game. You want to prove that gaining mmr = skill but thats simply not true. Theres far too many factors and inflation to assume this.

>>164243812
By having a 40% win rate on Rubick/NP/Slark etc.

>mmr != skill

>>164244084
it doesn't matter what his specific WR on select heroes is, his WR in ranked matchmaking is 61.75%

>>164244310
thats the power of maining & abusing op heros

>>164244310
Winrate is hard to get right because a lot of people coast by on mediocrity instead of trying to climb, i.e. spamming agility carries every game. A little bit of forethought can hugely increase your pub winrate.

>>164244310
Oh, I didn't think I needed to explain that.

Simple, he's pubstomping players who are anywhere from 1 to 2k lower MMR than him.
