Finally won a game with Spectre!
But I still don't really like the hero... early game is obnoxiously weak. Bermyx landed several good stuns but I just didn't have the damage to help him until later on. My farm sucked... but so did everyone else on Dire team so meh. At least my 20 minute Radiance was helpful 
I didn't get to finish my heart though, was just recipe away when we finished their ancient

Pit lord
Arc Warden
Techies
Oracle
Winter Wyvern
And i guess Sun Wukong although he's not quite 'made' yet. But he's on his way.
Also the new game mode was a lot of fun.

I dislike some supports when I end up being the ward peach. At least in my latest game Phoenix built the Mek because every other time I'm stuck between warding/dewarding and building it myself. Still, I think I'll stop playing WR as support... by like 20mins I had nothing but upgraded boots and a wand; every teamfight I got blown up without contributing much... shackles are too hard without force staff or blink. At least my team appreciated my efforts in warding and didn't complain about my deaths :')
Still, I'd much rather play CM, Jakiro, Bananamancer or Bane if I'm going to be the ward peach... shame you don't actually know what you'll end up doing until after the game has started.

Ss the matchmaking somehow thinks I'm ready for another tier.
Lately I've been matched up with people over 600+ wins.
I've only won 1 every 3 matches.

You aren't counting your bot games. Other than the experience they might have over you, the skill level should be around the same so it must be psychological or just bad luck, Chew. Don't let others intimidate you with the amount of games they've played, it doesn't really matter that much. Hell, even my games are against people with around 1k games (sometimes even2k) and I've just played 526. If you really feel outclassed watch your replays and figure out what went wrong and try to improve based on what you see. Also, I've noticed this in most of the games I watch you play, your cs isn't that great throughout the game and it hurts your item progression if you aren't getting kills so if you were to take my advice improve that*.
Adam and I were talking recently about how to improve oneself and he said that the most basic and important thing to get right is cs. Being ahead in last hits and/or denies gives you an advantage that is hard to overcome unless, somehow, there's massive feeding... or poor play. I'd agree with him; my winrate went up from 50-51% to 54-55% after spending who knows how many hours practicing most heroes last hitting animation, damage, range and survivability. Sadly, the one thing you can't learn from bot games is how to get farm from jungles/lanes and still contribute to fights and pushes
That's why I like splitpushers haha*edit: Don't go into hard/unfair bot games but try solo lobby or just easy bots to learn your cs mechanics. It doesn't help if you're getting denied because it's harder to figure out what went wrong (attacking to early/late, walking out range, etc). First learn your hero's animation/damage that way you have a better idea of when to actually attack to get the last hit. It also helps you notice which carries you shouldn't play yet because you just can't cs at all with them. For me it's Gyrocopter, for Adam it's Weaver and you might have one of those heroes too

Another game as a carry, another loss. This time as Void. I think I keep making item choice mistakes, getting BKB when half the stuns are physical or ignores BKB (Alch stun, SB bash, Bane in ult) and the other's magic (AA Cold Feet, Sand King) instead of something with lifesteal or more damage, and no Mask of Madness because I keep fearing I'll get destroyed once I use it.

I won a genuine redhoof courier from doing the year beast fight!
Only got like 20 million damage but apparently it was enough to be in the top 10%.

500th game of DoTA and it's a win! 1st Bristleback win I think. Was rather intense playing such a yolo mode hero, literally taking no magic damage.

It's easy to hit 20mil with Necro + Warlock combowombo.
I'm pretty sure 10% it's above 35mil.

Well, when i did it 20 million was definitely enough since i was rewarded a redhoof

Genuine Redhoof courier can be obtained from drops.
Well I got both of them.

Also got this from a 1500 tokens chest.
Pretty happy with it.

Yes? I know that. Doesn't change that i got mine from being in the top 10%, so did the friends i did it with.
When i played against the year beast 20 million WAS enough to get into the top 10%.

Ah my bad, had to read the event again.
Thought the 10% was for the Jade redhoof.

Oohh, then i see how we misunderstood eachother.
Yeah i didn't get a jade one from the event, got one from the market for like 3€ because i'm a collector and i love couriers. I have too many couriers.

I might hate you, just a little
Grats, but i am so very jealous.

I'm happy for you guys getting what you wanted
I think I stopped caring about cosmetics or maybe the event was so mind-numbing for me that I just moved on.

Sadly not really, most inscribed items are pretty.. well most people don't seem to care really unless it's some super unique/awesome inscription.
