By terrible... I mean terrible...

800 psr
0.2 kdr

I try to NOT play EM though, since it unbalances the game.

Any tips/tricks?

Should I just start watching/reading tutorials?

Keep trying different heroes until I find one that clicks w/ me?

Any serious advice people can give me would be much appreciated.

tbh i would suggest getting a stat reset

you will get kicked alot with 800 psr and .2kd

you can play some no stat games to get use to heroes of practice

but in no stats ALOT of people rage quit etc

Yeah I know. I plan on buying a Sub account pretty soon.

I just don't want to get a new account then bring it back down below 1k psr. xD

how did you get it that low to start with
i had never played dota or anything when i first started and the lowest i got was 1200

just watch some vids on youtube to help and also www.honcast.com to watch some pro games
and try play with friends

Once I got to about 1100-1200 I just started getting terribly uncoordinated teams so no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't do shit.

I know. I make mistakes. But I am slowly getting better.

I am very bad with knowing the distances/ranges of things.

Been playing since open beta and I still have trouble with Tower Range and other skill ranges.

My reaction time is also not the best. :\

I also have trouble with what Items to get.

I usually start with:
3x Minor Totems
+3 Stat Item Correlating to my hero (Int/Agi/Str)
6x Runes of Blight
1 Health Potion OR 2 Mana Potions

But in late/mid game I have no idea what to get after I complete my boots.

Play no stat games litterly play every hero in the game 2 times so you know what each hero does and what you can expect him to do to you. (so you can hopefully avoide unneeded deaths)

Also read a guide from the hon forums for every hero before you try it. Not all the guides will be that great but it will give you a base workable stratigy to start learning from.

a tutor from the tutor section of the hon forums that can play with you regularly someone that will help provide guidance and correct bad habbits you may have instead of just unproductivly raging at you like a pub.

After you get hero skills down and basic starting stratigys then watch hon casts to start picking up more advanced stratigys.

Also while your reading guides make damm sure you read up about and learn well proper warding, last hitting/denying

and don't be the ass hat that has 5 hard carrys as his most played heros because nobody wants to play with "thst guy" (unless your name is testies) untill you get the game down well it's best to play a supportive roll, because I'd you make mistakes your less likely to drage the hole game down with you.

1.-stop playing EM
2.-stop trying to carry
3.- ?????
4.-profit

hey man ususally play defensive in the begin of the game unless ur char is a early game char. try to get a lane combo that will be effective with another player.. also use your mini map ALOT! and make sure team is calling mia. It is more effective for u to buy a pot on the chicken and have it deliver it to you to heal rather than running all the way back to fountain because u will miss xp if u run back! but when u r low be safe and make sure u wont die but keep gettin xp. Always try to last hit creeps for xtra money once you do this u will be alot better because u will have more money and xp and you should be good to go have fun !

I'm having a hard time believing that your psr is 800.
