I had to make this video because everytime I play this game the enemy team is always better and I lose

This is because the game is still in its early stages, and everyone is still learning. But one thing I noticed is that if you can farm well and stay ahead of everyone, you can practically carry the game. So for now, try to focus on being the top farmer on your team or even in the game, and you'll see that just doing this will bring you many victories.

I started playing last Thursday, and after consistently becoming the top farmer on the team, my victories started to come.

Good luck, have fun
 
Welcome to MOBA's! Learn to farm, learn matchups, learn itemization & git gud..!
Lol I do have some experience with Dota 2, and a basic understanding of moba mechanics and objectives! However it seems i consistently get thrown in lobbies with an MMR all over the place, which no amount of farm can really fix!
 
The first problem I see is that your hero choices are anything but newbie friendly especially Paradox is hell of a steep jump, Dynamo, Ivy and Mcginnins are much easier to play and you can focus almost solely on gun dps and survival.

Then your last match as Paradox honestly I hope everyone have reported you for not doing anything, you were actively making your team play 5vs6

Previous match though you weren't doing horribly excepting for playing way too passively, you see your guardian part of lane isn't good to sit in, you have to actively kill creeps to push enemy toward his guardian because it offers much less cover vs bridge parts with a lot of cover which Infernus was using against you actively, your items purchases are brain dead straight out of possibly bad build, instead of extra health extra regen would allow you to sit in lane much better, or healing rite to heal behind cover instead of going back to base.

Honestly your team was absolutely bad but you have tried to play front line hero with backline hero too, there were also multiple 500 gold items you could have bought like extra charge. Then you were walking with 7k souls instead of immediately improving your build which is horrible.

Then you have bought warp stone and healing booster which are WHY THE FUCKING WHY tier choices in your situation.

Then you walked onto big jungle creep instead of fucking help Dynamo immediately. Then you went away when 3 of them were pushing your yellow.

Then you took urn and tried to destroy walker instead of defending base.

And so you have lost.

Yeah horrible team play but even with 3 feeders they still had more player damage than you, you have purchased multiple healing items later on instead of armors and improved burst which is in best case of this match 200 additional damage which is equivalent of shooting your gun for 1 second more, aka fucking sad you could have gotten better bullet life steal and more firing power to just fight with gun instead of attempting to boost that railgun shot.

I don't have time to watch your other replays but I assume it's all the same, 0 actual defensive items nor bullet lifesteal which results in you being horribly useless and dying every time.

Let me repeat BULLET ARMOR AND SPIRIT ARMOR AND THEIR UPGRADES ARE CORE ITEMS ALWAYS, press tab and over enemy portraits hover over them to see what they're building, orange line = bullets, purple = spirit, and buy accordingly armor, then 1250 life steal item should be your first purchase of that tier depending on your main damage type.
 
It do be like that sometimes...
I'm still having fun playing Viscous, even when we loose.
Such a fun character.

My last paradox match I crashed after closing my shop, in fact I made a bug report, it's on my profile.
I usually just follow the build guides as I'm still unfamiliar with most heroes (relatively) and I have yet to learn how to adapt builds to the current situation.
Honestly MOBAs are very hard and the little fun I have with them is gone with Deadlock as it's still an alpha game with bad matchmaking. In dota at least I suck and not get punished as harshly.

There are now good item guide videos in youtube. They helped me a lot and I don't have to sit in the shop as long as before.

Why not play bot games?

Honestly the bots are insanely derpy after one of the recent updates, even on hard, but it's still good for practice. I think me and my friends played bot games for like... 2 or 3 day straight before we ever touched PvP matchmaking.

It helped a TON. Even just knowing which items did what, what items worked well for which heros, and which items worked well with each other, makes a huge difference, and that comes with time and familiarity. Being able to learn that without the pressure of a team getting upset is really nice. It also taught me a lot about the nuance of some of the hero mechanics that I wasn't understanding. We played PvP for a few days and then a new friend joined so we went back to bot matches to help him learn and I was testing things I'd found confusing and having, "OHHHHHH~!" moments right and left, rofl.
 
In my experience, You need to play at least about 15 games as the same hero before the game can learn about your skill level.

And about 50 games (per hero) before the matchmaking will stop matching you into completely one-sided games. (You will still get one-sided games, just not too often.)

The current matchmaking system is nearly useless, good news it's being reworked.
