I think ethan thinks because he was doing good the first 15 minutes in comparison to his team it meant he deserved to be higher rank, but he forgot afterwards what he was doing and essentially built items that benefit the enemies more than himself and eventually gave pl/legion free gold.
Imaging having a Slardar (physical and physical amp) an earth shaker (going daedulus physical) a tide (physical anchor smash) and a drow (physical) and thinking that clinkz shiva is the way to go, and then saying "I shouldn't be this rank its my team"
I have a friend that says that. He used to be legend and now he's guardian (no joke). He spams techies mid, he steals all farms from everybody, he never put mines on high ground. He always loses end game. I swear I remembered of jenkins' heralds that have thousands of matches as of today.l, while talking to other friends. Crazy coincidence.
Dota end game is more about map awareness and team coordination than anything, its like ur playing a different game at that point. No wonder he keeps losing late, guy steals farm, gets ahead and proceeds to probably die from the most random of instance since he's so ahead that he doesn't expect 5 guys running at him mac 10 speed.
Similar case here, its friends friend though. Hangs around crusader nowdays. Has been in low priority for most of his dota career, auto muted often, shouts racist stuff to his team or enemies constantly, sells/breaks his items and all sort of fun. This guy has been permanently banned from overwatch (game) at least 3 times so far. Couple of friends still wonder, why i dont play with him anymore. I know one of them just wants him to play in his team, so he can laugh at him raging. Most of the time, when i have been watching his matches, its either enemy denying creeps in lane or him getting killed 1-2 times in lane, is enough for him to get tilted. I know this isnt 1:1 same but yeah.
i have a smurf acc you have no idea what kinda crazy stuff i done in it and yet i can't get lower than crusader in it can you tell me your friend secret also keep in mind if the acc get 2 many reports by initially feeding or grefing it get banned for 2 years ngl the only reason i made that acc was to reach heralds and have fun smurfing ion even wanna win in heralds i just wanna play those 90 min crazy matches be the guy with 70 kills or play the heros ion even have 100 matches with and just smack everybody
Him almost getting his courier killed NOT ONCE BUT TWICE while being invis behind the enemy mid T1 for LITERALLY NO REASON confirmed he does in fact belong in Herald lmao
Sorry Clinkz player but if there's anyone in this game that'll likely get out of herald first, it's PL. Dude bought Manta when in my bracket, players stubbornly skip it after Aghanims and Diffusal losing out on a dispel needed for roots and silences.
1. farm efficiency -> low 2. skill usage -> low 3. map awareness -> low 4. itemization -> low sorry ethan u belong on herald, if u have at least of them decent (not crazy high skill), u can go up to at least crusader, PL is perfect example of someone that will go up, his skill usage, map awareness and itemization is good if u ask me, he is really aware of what can actually kill him (es) (I actually suspect him smurf)
@@nikosthanopoulossarlis2919 I think kotl switch player, or some kind of player that can only play the game on mid or late game, just like some tinker player
So Ethan actually explained in his email that he bought Shivas because Earthshaker went for Daedelus instead so he decided it was his job to buy the item. Never mind that Mjollnir would have been a much more effective item for him to counter PL with, he HAD to buy it cause his terrible teammate didn't. If you can't get out of Herald it's because you deserve to be in Herald. Not every game will be winnable, but if you can't reliably carry games in that bracket, from any position, then you are sorely lacking in multiple areas.
Why would someone buy a Shiva's against that lineup tho. BB was a supp so wasn't buying Bloodstone. So their only heal was KOTL's 1st skill. Should've bought Mjolnir or Gleipnir and of course, BKB. Definitely Herald lol.
@@redenalcantara5722 I mean in fairness, Shivas is still a good anti-PL item for the movespeed slow on active and attack speed slow passive. Nothing amazing, but useful, and the damage amp would have gotten Earthshaker some echo kills had he actually bought it. He is at least right that it would have been a more helpful item that game than daed on the shaker, especially given how shaker was playing. Going the shivas on clinkz is still about the most herald thing you can do though.
@@HeavensBane53 I get the idea behind the shivas, but clinkz here has a case of tunnel vision. They have weigh their options, not just obsess over the idea of "There's PL we need Shiva!!"

You know what, I think Ethan does deserve a better rank, he did pretty decent and good plays. Sure he had a few mishapes and such, but he did very well considering his situations. Yea, he should be herald 4 instead of 3.

Some low ranks have the mentality that they have to play like pros to win without knowing why the pros do certain things. This guy is one of them. Could’ve easily just built pure dmg, maybe a bkb and he’d snowball. Instead gimps his build with two anti heal items and just falls off the game.
@@edmann1820 on each bracklet, the general meta is always the same Buy the item you need, not the item you want. (and some 1-2 core item for your hero) Look, sure Clink think he need a healt reduction, but he choosing shiva than skadi is where you know its not right... Generally, you pick shiva over skadi, its because 2 thing 1. you need armor 2. you need attack speed reduce Sure, the attack speed reduce is really good againts PL, but clinkz doesnt need armor, since he already have a lot already, as being an Agility hero
@@Mahfy1 I wasn't talking about this specific game. But in general and not just for items but for heroes as well. A decent player will be able to handle doing more things. Have more active items better micro. A bad player needs less active spells and items because the more they have the more likely they are to forget to use them. Yet bad players who want to git gud try to build like pros or pick like pros. It's always been this way.
it is a tough thing to estimate though because many dota players don't play enough to get to their true rank. I was legend for years and when I actually dedicated time to grinding I made it to immortal. Don't think my skill changed a ton during that time
Yes, Ethan. You are on the "I only equip the neutral item token" level. Nothing wrong with that. Keep playing at your level, and have fun, with your knowledge that you are where you belong.
Ethan's not the worst player on his team, but he should take away from this video that 1. the enemies are doing as much awful stuff as yours that you're not seeing, and 2. that he's not making the necessary decisions to capitalise on the advantage the team had. Buying that shivas basically stalled the entire team
Ethan, im herald too.from your game replay,you deserve herald.Believe me when you play at crusader with your playing style they will say owhhh new creep here 😂😂😂😂😂
Thats the great flaw to ES, his passive doesn't share his ultis radius, which often leads to lost dmg hense the blink directly into the enemy team to maximize its effect
I feel like kotl let someone else take.over his hero after first 10-15mins There's no way herald can dodge like that koyl , using ethereal and blinking out of 5 heroes.
5:50 I can assure u as a former herald, I used to bb all the time not because of unhappiness but because I thought you're supposed to use that thing whenever you could
Remind me clinkz I had the other day, didn't buy satanic bkb so he just got venge swapped and slowly run away instead of damage and then was crying from DRAFT because I picked pugna offlane instead of tank because I did not want to lane a tank with a pudge. And we stomped the game with 33k lead at 36 minutes but couldn't end and we lost. He was guardian and arguing with me post-game lobby when he ended with 100k damage less than the enemy carry
Ethan your problem is items choice. Instead of shivas you could buy some manta or bkb to dispel bloodthorn and ethereal blade. Also instead of desolator you could buy early Mjolnir to counter pl illusions then buy save item like Pike or manta and choose beter position in fights not face to face with enemy. Jenkins could say that but...AH and i forgot about dusts...dusts should be everytime in your inventor..In this game you could kill PL placing sentry before fights or using dusts in them
Tbh i stuck in herald for almost 2 years after drop from crusader after calibration... last year calibration got me boost to archon and now im ancient. I dont know about other region but in SEA there is alot of people stuck bellow deserve
Y'know, when I was starting out, I ended up in herald. But I was better than my rank, so over the course of 2 years, with a 70% winrate on all my main picks, I got to Legend. Then I got bored and stagnated by picking NP support. And now it's meta, because I was better than my rank.
Jenkins where are your gambling stream VODs on youtube? Come on man you are already pushing addictions so why not upload them on yt for everyone to see as well?
Thanks for reviewing my game I will never be buying shivas on clinks again hahaha I see my many mistakes, knew it would make for good content though :)
Dude I wish I could give you my pre 7.00 replays. There was one game where my team literally would just cast their spells at the ground. I took screenshots to show my friends play by play my WD missing every spell My core walking straight into their team and not reacting through to death. And I went something like 38-4-30 on abaddon and carried the game. I had to stop playing dota for 3 weeks after that game. Its still my highest score game on abaddon in my stats. I had a 78% win ratio on carry offlane abaddon all the way to 4.8k when I started ranked.
Fun fact If you win a dual while having the Facet "Spoil of War" close to a Neutral Creep camp, they too will get extra damage....and let me say that my team found it the hard one. A 4 Stack Ancient Creep LOL
Jenkins, I would appreciate if you give comments on how you would have done better in terms of itemization and positioning while going through the replay. Thanks!
if you herald, and see 3 or 4 melee heroes, just go for AXE PICK, even if its axe mid should ez win. why in the world we should go for clinkz and said “i should not in this rank” pfftttt…
I feel like most people at Herald are clearly bad at the game, but the environment of Herald games also keep them down. Those games are not good environments to learn anything at all. I think this is why there are Heralds with 2k+ games.
WHO COULD POSSIBLY GUESS THAT THE HERALD WHO THINKS HE SHOULD BE PLAYING IN TI IS SUPER WRONG ABOUT IT... ARMAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD... THAT IS SO SHOCKING MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!! Love the videos bro... KEEP BLAZING
ngl it was the first time i saw clinkz with shiva, i mean i understand skaid deso but like there is no orchid or like not even bkb aganist enemy picks like only if he had bkb + nullifier i think h ecould hv just solo kill all
I used to be a herald who complained about "being better than my teammates but stuck in a trench". A friend who is way better than me pointed out some faults in my gameplay one of which was 'It doesn't matter if you are "doing some of the right things" if you don't play with your team. It's true, I'm not good enough to solo 1v9. So I listened to him and started playing my bracket. Get more of the farm than supports usually do because the cores are shit at farming which leaves more gold and exp on the table, ward a bit more defensively because there will be no invading enemy jungle even if there's vision, focus on fast rotations and reactions because no one cares about objectives, pick impactful healing heroes like Enchantress, Warlock, and Witch Doctor because no one buys regen and the cores are way too happy to just TP home just to heal etc. I'm crusader now. Not necessarily because I'm suddenly better but probably because very often it feels like I'm the only one with a plan for the game
Even in herald, early 15 minute lead is a cruel mistress. It lulls you into a false assumption of a free game, and one bad fight will reverse all the gold lead and the team's morale will crumble down > even with 6k gold lead at min15 this bullshit 1 fight lost > game lost still happens
I wonder if most people think this... I do, and I've been proving it by ranking up steadily. I placed into crusader (lol) a long time ago and just hit divine last week; it took forever to get from crusader to legend, but I got from legend to divine in like 2 months. I sometimes check on people in my legend games from 2 months ago and I would say in each game there is like 1 or 2 other people who are like mid ancient, but most are still the same rank they were at that time. I think the real problem is the MMR system; it's so grindy compared to an ELO based system. It takes normal people literally thousands of games for people to fight to the rank they should be... which negatively impacts the experience for everyone else along the way. Though I saw that Mason calibrated into 8k so it might be different for literal brand new accounts, but if it is a brand new player they probably won't actually be good. I was a Dota allstars player and HoN player (RIP) first so when I started playing Dota 2 it was like 7 years after I had first tried Dota 2 so I probably had like a stagnated, low hidden mmr.

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Jenkins is literally discount Ronnie from Falling in reverse?
I'm stuck at Guardian 3 but that's where I belong though.
Congrats, the first step to improvement is not thinking you already know it all, unlike someone here
Jenkins, I would appreciate if you give comments on how you would have done better in terms of itemization and positioning while going through the replay. Thanks!
Ethan is keeping all his team mates in Herald with this one.
video needs a post-game analysis - damage dealt etc, what could he have done better? items choices?
if you herald, and see 3 or 4 melee heroes, just go for AXE PICK, even if its axe mid should ez win. why in the world we should go for clinkz and said “i should not in this rank” pfftttt…
Fun fact: When duel ends all involved neatural creeps gets dual damage.
jenkins rockin that dahmer look
I laughed so hard when I saw tide with lotus. 😂
16:14 bro was NOT him
bro he CLICKED shivas
He not that guy.
that tide is perfect example of hard support..a support that hard to kill..he is a support,,but hard to kill...hard support
for me its not a review its more like a commentary. jenkins needs to really review it, maybe suggestions on what he couldve done better etc.
i was expecting a veredict at the end
I feel like most people at Herald are clearly bad at the game, but the environment of Herald games also keep them down. Those games are not good environments to learn anything at all. I think this is why there are Heralds with 2k+ games.
Exact moment when the game turned 5:50
that was the first domino
Ethan, try the attack move technique to remove the back swing animation of normal attacks!
"I'm better than my rank" - man who unironically named himself "God's remix"
herald for ever ❤
i saw all radiant having higher net than all dire and i knew they were gonna lose
😂😂😂 dude thanks for the content
Its those symbols, Heralds know those spots are THE ward spots..... If not warded there its not warded right
Wow, Ethan! Great moves, keep it up, proud of you.
the thumbnail 😭🤣
LMAO at BB not even opening the token.
WHO COULD POSSIBLY GUESS THAT THE HERALD WHO THINKS HE SHOULD BE PLAYING IN TI IS SUPER WRONG ABOUT IT... ARMAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD... THAT IS SO SHOCKING MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!
Love the videos bro... KEEP BLAZING
Ethan is correct. He does not belong to herald 4 but herald 2
ngl it was the first time i saw clinkz with shiva, i mean i understand skaid deso but like there is no orchid or like not even bkb aganist enemy picks like only if he had bkb + nullifier i think h ecould hv just solo kill all
I used to be a herald who complained about "being better than my teammates but stuck in a trench". A friend who is way better than me pointed out some faults in my gameplay one of which was 'It doesn't matter if you are "doing some of the right things" if you don't play with your team.
It's true, I'm not good enough to solo 1v9. So I listened to him and started playing my bracket. Get more of the farm than supports usually do because the cores are shit at farming which leaves more gold and exp on the table, ward a bit more defensively because there will be no invading enemy jungle even if there's vision, focus on fast rotations and reactions because no one cares about objectives, pick impactful healing heroes like Enchantress, Warlock, and Witch Doctor because no one buys regen and the cores are way too happy to just TP home just to heal etc. I'm crusader now. Not necessarily because I'm suddenly better but probably because very often it feels like I'm the only one with a plan for the game
3 months herald 3 (1 month 1 upgrade)
Ethan is most herald person i ever seen
Even in herald, early 15 minute lead is a cruel mistress. It lulls you into a false assumption of a free game, and one bad fight will reverse all the gold lead and the team's morale will crumble down > even with 6k gold lead at min15 this bullshit 1 fight lost > game lost still happens
Why is my favorite crypto gambler streaming dota 2?
OMG I just got an idea with that LC facet. Rush overlord then have the creep gain duel dmg.
If he directional moved while 360ing he instantly gains 3-4 full metal ranks.
I wonder if most people think this... I do, and I've been proving it by ranking up steadily. I placed into crusader (lol) a long time ago and just hit divine last week; it took forever to get from crusader to legend, but I got from legend to divine in like 2 months. I sometimes check on people in my legend games from 2 months ago and I would say in each game there is like 1 or 2 other people who are like mid ancient, but most are still the same rank they were at that time. I think the real problem is the MMR system; it's so grindy compared to an ELO based system. It takes normal people literally thousands of games for people to fight to the rank they should be... which negatively impacts the experience for everyone else along the way.
Though I saw that Mason calibrated into 8k so it might be different for literal brand new accounts, but if it is a brand new player they probably won't actually be good. I was a Dota allstars player and HoN player (RIP) first so when I started playing Dota 2 it was like 7 years after I had first tried Dota 2 so I probably had like a stagnated, low hidden mmr.
Those neutral tokens are very valuable
Honestly impressed by KOTL and PL, as far as heralds go they played well
They are smurfing.
From Guardian maybe
