Ive got 700+hours in Dota2 but havent played in months. Game is hugely frustrating because no metter how good your game is you depend on 4 other knuckleheads...hard to play consistently over .500. Mmr abt 1800

If your MMR is about 1800, I guarantee you you aren't playing as well as you can every game.

Yeah other people play bad too, but there is always room for improvement.

I forgot which pro player said it, but MMR is an indication of your overall impact on the game. Are you warding, ganking, TPing to help teammates, etc. I would argue that in DotA 2 you can overcome bad teammates a little more than other ARTS type games because of the map and hero balance which allows for a good amount of creativity.

If you watch high level players play on twitch, it's amazing how much you can learn from a single game.
