Its hard to win if u're queuing with a total newbie friend. You'll be the highest mmr with a bunch of clueless players while the enemy will all have similar mmr, way higher than the rest of your team. It's hard to 1v5 in such a scenario.
Seems you learnt this the hard way :D

I'm at around level 12 now.What advantages would I have if I play the ranked MMR matches instead of unranked ones?

Don't play ranked as of now. Dota keeps track of your skill when you play unranked games too. If you start playing ranked and calibrate your MMR, your MMR will be very low as it will be based on your current skill. PLay some more unranked and get good, then try Ranked MMR.

This. There's lot to lern and honestly level 12 isn't hard or doesn't take too long to get. Keep playing unranked and play ranked a few months from now when you truly have a better understanding of the game and meta.

For new players, I think right clicking heroes are best to begin with. Sniper, Viper, Razor, Wraith King, Bristleback are easy right clickers. In my opinion. Also Sniper and viper are very versatile and some changes in their build can counter any line-up. Also I find Abaddon to also be very versatile, you can go for semi-support or carry or even make it into a core. But Abaddon might be bit overwhelming. Wraith King is better alternative (compared to Abaddon) for new players with passive crit and lifesteal, a stun and free aegis ultimate :)P). You can try right clickers to learn about game basics and later try heroes like Jakiro, Lich, Venomancer, Death Prophet, Troll Warlord, Tidehunter, Sven.
Then depends on what role you like pick supports like CM, Earthshaker, WD, Shaman, Pugna or carries like PA, Drow, Luna, AM, Gyrocopter.
Finally, you can try the tough ones like Invoker, Visage, Chen, Meepo, LoneDruid.
Keep your hero pool to 10-12 heroes which you can play well and that is enough. Eventually you'll have 30-50 heroes in your pool.
But try all heroes at least once at least in bot match.

Viper is a versatile hero. You can make him tanky thanks to his magic resistance passive OR you can make him hard hitter due to other passive skill.

[strike]Desolator is good situationally, but you have to make sure you arent using poison attack along with it. Switch it during auto attacks for both slow and -armor[/strike]
Almost all carry and tanky items good for viper, you just have to build by taking enemy heroes into consideration.

A tanky viper would make Treads Agha AC Heart Silver Edge Satanic(situational late game) etc etc
A dmg dealing viper will make Phaseboots Manta MKB Agha Silver Edge Mjollnir(very situational) MoonShard

But desolator does stack with poison attack (first skill) right?That's why I started making it.
