Stop expecting higher MMR players to win the game for you

As title suggests this happened to me like 2-3 games in a row and its getting a little frustrating. I'm a low 5k player and was playing with a newb friend and dropped to potato bracket (normal-high skill). Since I had my MMR displayed, my teammates had some really "lofty" expectations of me. No matter what role I'm playing, I'm expected to playmake. For example a solo mid pudge was losing 0-3 to an invoker 5mins into the game and he started flaming me for not helping him win his lane despite me being the solo offlaner.

This might be an entirely new concept but DotA is a TEAM game. Even a good player can't win the game by himself every game. And likewise if there's a good player on this team, expect there to be at least 1 on the other team as well. Lastly, if you know that the player is better than you, stop flaming him! He probably knows what he's doing more than you do so learn to listen to instructions.
