#4 Train yourself and Improvise

Now you have fixed a goal, you are picking heroes according to the draft and role and you are good at them. Still stuck? This is the time to grow your hero-pool and skills. But how do you define skills? If someone has 90 last hits at 10 minutes they are definitely mechanically skilled but are they communicating? do they realize when to push and when to hide in the trees?

How to train yourself with heroes -

1. Focus and think of a role you are failing at, watch a few pub games, check the meta and find out heroes that are good in this patch for that role.
2. Play bots. No joke. Play bots or even without bots and just figure out the spells, movement speed, spell combination, cooldowns, early items, and mid game items.
3. Try them in normal matches until you feel like you are good enough.

How to improve your skills -

1. Mechanical skills can only be improved with practice so practice.
2. Focus in the game and try to find out what you did wrong.
3. Watch your replays, memorize your mistake so you do not repeat it again.
4. Watch pro players play or top MMR ranked games to watch and learn what to do and when to do.
5. Communicate with your teammates. A lot of people don't consider this a skill but you actually win a lot of games when you have good communication. Instead of screaming on the mic about how the Axe missed his call, tell him when to jump and call. Or if you are the Axe just yell at your Invoker "Use the tornado after my call ends".

When the game is going full retard, go full retard. If you stop going with the flow well, you can't row against the stream.
