How do I escape 1.6k?

Generally the advice I can give is to play good laning heroes, play scaling (semi)supports like Silencer/ Necrophos/ Omniknight/ Warlock if you need a support and not hard supports, and play carries who have a good laning presence to win their lane by themselves ( Phantom Assassin or Razor and NOT Anti-Mage).

Essentially you need independent heroes who don't rely on supports to win their lane since pub supports suck. You have to buy your own wards for the same reason. Essentially in that tier you need to pick like you don't have a team, you're kind of playing 1 vs 9 actually.

Im from SEA, but I hate those peoples and I started playing in US servers.

Also, I barely played all pick. During CM, I almost always captain and even then i communicate with my teammates. Problem is when im not the captain, good things barely happened.

And I would love to play ranked together with you guys. But what is your timezones? Im from SEA, and by 24 hours I could be online and play.

Get good, sad but true. If you can't "escape" 1.6k with your own skill there is nothing that can help you, and even if you get to 2k you will fall down again. If you want advice how to get better and finally leave this **** level tier:

• learn to farm
• don't pick heroes that are easily countered before everyone in enemy team picks (spectre vs dual ranged lane is 100% lose)
• learn some good item and skill builds
• communicate with your team, if someone doesn't cooperate just mute him
• MAP AWARENESS

And don't say that it's always team's fault - yeasterday I played with friends on ~2.6k bracket (I'm 4k) and most of them carried single-handedly, or at least to the point where my carry was farmed enough to rape them too:

I think 1k mmr lower should be even easier to carry.

EDIT. Some advice about radiant/dire sides - pubs don't abuse that until like 5k mmr or more, but dire side has much easier time doing roshan, so if you pick heroes like lycan or ursa already gives you advantage because of solo rosh potential. Especially lycan paired with pusher like prophet or enigma makes good combo because of Howl. Radiant side generally has easier offlane, so you can offlane more heroes on this side, also Tinker (ESPECIALLY in lower brackets) is extremely strong hero on radiant thanks to ancient stack potential and farming 3 wood camps at once. Just playing Lycan on dire and Tinker on radiant abusing side advantages should raise your mmr.

I'm from EU West, but you say you started playing on US servers so depending on which one I'm fine going on that. I can play on US East with little no no lag, but anything other, Australia, South America, SEA etc. doesn't work for me that well. The time for me right now is 10:00AM BST

hey i play on SEA/AUS too if you ever want to game let me know

dota : Fractis.Smuggler

steam : smuggler1965

Don't give your steam account name (the one you log-in with) to any1, there's possibility that russians will block your trade (don't ask how, every competent trader will tell you to not expose your steam name and cover it in all screenshots, it's 100% private unless you give it to some1).

I will add you guys and see if we can play tommorrow. Bunkan u ready for ur first ranked?
