How MMR boosting works in Dota 2

Increasing your MMR in Dota 2 is never ending process that will drain most of your powers. But the emotions that you’re earning from the victories against strong opponents are priceless. So if you want to meet the worthy enemies, you need to beat your way up to the highest ranks of Dota 2, right to the Titan.

I’ll give you some advice, follow them and you will dramatically increase your gaming skill. But if you know that you’re doing everything right, but just do not have enough free time to earn desired ranks, then you could always use the easy way – dota 2 boosts. I’ll tell you later about this solution, but right now let’s focus on solo MMR boosting in dota 2.

Warm up before MM

This is not a decisive factor, and everybody has their own position about this part, but this is my guide, isn’t it? I think that you just need to warm up before starting a matchmaking rating game. Just play one normal all pick, or custom game “Overthrow“. To increase your reaction I’m suggesting games like “osu!“, but the best choice – play an unranked game with your hero, let your fingers remember which buttons you need to smash.

Choose hero and position

To quickly increase your MMR you need to learn how to play on 1-2 Meta characters, but to understand the whole game and feel the match you need to learn how to play on various heroes and positions.

Even the most Meta and Imbalance hero couldn’t compensate the lack of practice and training. It will be a great mistake if you think that you need some decent micro only on core (1 and 2) positions and all you need to do as support is just to run around and place wards. Everything that is about “micro” can be trained with simple practice. Of course, support position requires less practice than the core, but you still need to learn how and when you need to press the right buttons.

Best heroes to Boost MMR in Dota 2:

Carry – Terrorblade, Phantom Lancer, Phantom Assassin;

Mid Laner – Storm Spirit, Out world Devoured, Invoked;

Hard Later – Centaur War runner; Enigma; Brew master.

But even if you’re playing only as Carry, you must be ready that sometimes you couldn’t take this position, and you need to switch your role. Pick Legion Commander as a jungle is a bad idea, Dota is not LoL and jungles here are a mostly useless part of the team. Just consider it as a chance to practice your support side.

The Best combo to play with a friend

If you want to increase your party MMR (IDK why though), it would be better if you pick the heroes that would cover the weak sides of each other. Instead of picking two core roles (and in most cases it is impossible) you should aim at getting some interesting duos. The best combo is any hero + Io because not so many are known how to play against that duo in the low MMR. Also, you could pick Grim stroke and any possible hero, any double lane with Grim stroke will annihilate an enemy.

Boost MMR or enjoy the game?

MMR Boosting is like a second job, and you will spend all your free time on it. In Dota 2 you’re either increasing your MMR or playing to have some fun. To boost dota 2 rating you need to spend a lot of time, practice every day, the more the better. And all your actions must be useful, so if you in a loose streak then take a short break and try to look at yourself, maybe the real problem is your behavior in a match.
