Post the heroes you've used to climb solo ranked (60%+ Winrates) in General Discussion
Dan

    Saw something similar to this on reddit a while back and was just interested to see what heroes here on dotabuff people have had the most success with.

    Ideally I'd find it interesting to see some unusual heroes or skill/item builds used for climbing but if you've climbed 1k with troll feel free. All i'll ask is please post climbs from the past few months that have been legit. (No lone druid game crash bug climbs etc)

    It'll be interesting to see if anyone joins in with this but I guess il go first. (use as much or little of the layout below)

    Hero: Bloodseeker

    MMR climbed: 3.4k to 4.2k (In total somewhere around 1200 MMR in total for using BS to climb lost mmr)

    Matches: http://www.dotabuff.com/players/82931500/matches?date=6month&duration=&enjoyment=any&faction=&game_mode=&hero=bloodseeker&lobby_type=&page=2&region=&skill_bracket=

    Dotabuff Leaderboard: Currently 512th.

    Position: Mix of mid and Jungle, Although I've done it on the off and safe.

    Role: Tend to be the player creating space for other cores to farm, constantly attempting to shut down other scarier heroes on the enemy team setting them back as much as possible. I buy wards and such if supports are poor and generally try to play the role of both a core and support.

    Anyways it'd be nice to see other peoples MMR farming heroes as I enjoy watching replays and trying to constantly improve, so hopefully you guys will post something.

    Metallicize

      slark safelane, about at least 500 mmr (most of my slark games are solo).
      just afk farm some time (~10-12 min) and after shadowblade snowball, works extremely well below 4500 mmr.

      es offlane, about 500+ mmr.
      get 6 asap, kill the carry. sometimes gank mid even pre 6 and win mid for your mate.
      most games that went as planned i got really early dagger and some dagon and creating tons of space.
      trying es support lately, not nearly as much success, cuz lack of levels and i suck at support apparently. lel

      faceless void, 10 games winning streak in solo.
      farm safelane like a baws, get mom, get pt and outplay the enemy with ultra skilled chronoes.
      helped me get some mmr after a 600 mmr drop.

      sorry for bein too lazy to use your layout

              ember mid

              B56

                About the role i main mid if i cant i try to get the offlane or safe mostly offlane since more ppl know how to play carry then offlane and im good offlaner , if ppl fight together for the mid i ask if one of them want offlane and ill support , i go support or jungle if the other support agreed to solo support or i go solo support if the 4th player want to jungle and i ask him to pick axe

                            i play the ember safelane though, ember mid fails catastrophically about half the time

                            probably because i cant play mid for shit tbh

                              I used Nyx Mid to climb to around 1.5k from 1k

                              yung griphook

                                damn that Chen w/r

                                I climbed like a few hundred mmr instalocking sniper. It works well but it does get boring

                                Caesar

                                  qop/ ursa (not the max E build) work pretty good. climbed 2,8-> 3,2k maybe? idk

                                  ta/storm mid also do really good. especially ta. if there is nothing that can mess your refraction, game is 99% win.

                                  slark/troll as carry.

                                  those are the heroes with a big impact, that can play 1v9.

                                  other heroes with lane impact:

                                  timber: this dude is the best offlaner imo. only spells like maledict or something like that can beat him

                                  nyx: another kind of offlaner. just lvl and gang

                                  clock: same as nyx

                                  pudge: mid/solo off, also great potential.

                                  bristle: tank tank tank tank

                                      370th dotabuff rank

                                      Mid

                                      Shrapnel is insanely strong. I always bring myself a tp when I hit 6 and react if my other lanes are being dove, this usually results me in getting at least 1-3 kills everytime.

                                      With good map awareness, and understanding mid match-ups, you can almost always avoid deaths or turn 1v1/2 skirmishes around.

                                      HO HO HA HA

                                          Nice, Surprised as many people posted. I'll be sure to have a look into a few :D.

                                          Rocket

                                            Safelane Meepo super-rat.
                                            Basi+Tangos at the open (finish Basi in sideshop)
                                            then Brown Boots
                                            then farm jungle and safe till you have Aghs+BoTs
                                            then farm all lanes and jungle for vlads+smoke for a solo rosh.
                                            then stack diffusals, avoid all fights
                                            then melt towers.

                                            go suicide rat with your clones when you have aegis and keep prime in the fountain. comedy moment when they kill you once and you respawn in safety.

                                            disclaimer: probably doesn't work outside normal mmr but free win if you can get aghs+bots whilst you still have all rax left.

                                            edit: went 13-4 with the build before moving on to other heroes.

                                              Mid zeus dagger-YOLO Bulid.

                                              Hero : zeus laning mid

                                              MMR raised from 3800 to 4100 mmr

                                              Start of the game buy 2 clarity , spam 1st skill onto creeps , get bottle ASAP, get runes and spam more skills, then soul ring,
                                              WHEN U GET LVL 6 YEAH. KILLSTEAL LIKE U HAVE NO REMORSE. IGNORE IF YOUR TEAMMATES ARE MAD. YOU WILL NEED DAGGER ASAP!
                                              when u get dagger, ( assuming u have good positioning skills ) , dagger and position your self well , use your skill It would be usually sucessful clashes, repeat , farm , repeat ( ALWAYS STAY AT THE BACK , YOU RARELY INIATE THE FIGHT UNLESS U SURELY HAVE BACKUPS)
                                              Buy agha then veil after that if the game ain't done go refresher.

                                              example game : http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1365058013

                                              euls , bkb are very optional i rarely buy those.
                                              if their storm goes for orchid , i just position myself well. EZ.

                                              SalaciousCrome

                                                4.6-5.4 playing only supports with the occasional off lane. 60%+ in solo ranked this patch.

                                                Abaddon

                                                  Abaddon

                                                  Dire Wolf

                                                    I don't play enough to make huge climbs. But troll was my guy from ~3300 to ~3800.

                                                    I have also done pretty well with lycan but haven't played him in forever.

                                                    However my OG hero from way back when before ranked was introduced was lifestealer. If I had to estimate I'd say I went from 2500 to like 3000 on him. I won something nuts like 17-3 my first 20 games on him. But he doesn't work as well at higher mmr and since newer patches since he's shitty vs troll and sniper and all the meta heroes.

                                                      My ranked win rate with troll is 80%, he will increase your MMR, no skill required.

                                                      Dire Wolf

                                                        Holy shit, I haven't checked the dotabuff heroes tab in a while. Troll is 3rd in win rate at 57% while maintaining 3rd in pick rate. That's nuts! Just play him over and over.

                                                        And of course, gotta give a nod to sniper as well, 54.43% win rate while maintaining a 42% pick rate! Jesus christ, if total retards can pick him that much and maintain that you know he's a pub god.
