Even the best players are human and make mistakes. Never assume you have mastered anything. Never assume that you have all the answers or have found "the best" way of playing. Surely after all that extra practice they should be better? Nope, because they've likely become stuck in their ways, repeatedly practicing playing badly. The game rates them as being about the same skill level as you. Practicing doing something the wrong way will just make you marginally less bad at it - you will never genuinely achieve a high level because your technique is fundamentally flawed, and this limits you ability to improve beyond a certain level.įor example, you sometimes get matchmade will players who have substantially more matches and hours logged on DOTA than you do. However, what many people don't realise is that you have to practice doing something CORRECTLY in order to get better at it. This is about helping yourself to acquire new skills quickly and avoid falling in to traps that will slow you down in the long run.Īs we all know, practice and experience are essential to getting better at something. If you want to get better at anything, the best place to start is "learning to learn". "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge"
