I hope that today is different from the never ending tide of shit that is DotA. I have faith and I hope that luck is on my side.
Game 1:
+ Show Spoiler +
I randomed bristleback and planned to solo offlane. This game was looking pretty good since we had a potm + sd duo to gank and a morph + luna carry. However I think I may have gotten my hopes up because shortly after I got a triple kill bottom our potm + sd dc'd and wound up tanking abandons. However they did come back much later to finish the game.

I'll strike this down as unwinnable considering 2 people DC'd for well over 5 minutes and I was also griefed. By who? Luna. Why? I'm really not sure, he was mad he was 1-7-1 or something, I really hadn't even said anything all game either. I guess he just saw my items and took them for easy pray.

Game 2:
+ Show Spoiler +
This game actually started out looking really good. Too good.
[ALLIES] nX: im support
[ALLIES] nX: go carry guys
I could tell immediately that I was in for another unwinnable game, however I still retained hope and picked furion because I was slightly frustrated from last game. Our lineup was PL + OD + timbersaw + furion and the only one left to pick was nX. He picked sniper. But hey! I retained hope and figured maybe it was some next level support sniper strategy!

Game 3:
+ Show Spoiler +
I randomed LC and played it for the first time. I sucked and got carried. Nothing special.
Game 4:
+ Show Spoiler +
I randomed PA and our magnus seemed friendly from the start. SW and rubick also seemed like decent people and our tri-lane went really well ruining that dirty phoenix pickers game. He died first blood and several times after that really early on. That didn't stop him from being a moron though!

It's really weird how people like this rationalize the shit that they do.......
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/6QZT1LQ.png)
I'm going to change the "unwinnable" category to "griefed" so that I can include games where the other team has to put up with this kind of shit as well.

Score screen. I'm on a different account that's actually my lowest MMR. Hilariously enough, games on this account are a lot more difficult than on my 5k/5.6k/ and 5.9k solo Q accounts. Most of them as I've noticed end up with some level of "game ruining" or "griefing".

griefed: 3/3

Today I woke up really late in the afternoon, but I was ready and pumped to win some DotA. Or not. Whichever the DotA gods have in store for me.
Game 1:
+ Show Spoiler +
I randomed DP which is generally a pretty good hero to win DotA with. We also had the next 3 people random mirana, PL, and dazzle which is pretty good despite the other team being a bunch of counter picking nerds. Then the last guy on our team picked broodmother after the other team had SK, BH, and a tri lane. I had my doubts but he seemed confident.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8KW0cjN.png)
Oh well I guess, 0-1 starting out today.
Game 2:
+ Show Spoiler +
Alright, time to shake off last game! I randomed meepo which I promptly repicked since immediately after I did that someone picked void and declared that he was farming bottom. Lich seemed like a good hero this game. After our picks end we have a pretty good lineup. What could go wrong?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HL9GkeX.png)
Oh, I guess our team dual laning middle against an SF could happen, thus leaving our void solo against a PoTM (not fun).
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LP2n7Iq.png)
After some time being called 'gay' struck a cord with CM so he decided to no longer dual lane mid. At least there's NO way our tinker can lose mid now considering he got babysat for over 3 minutes, right?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/IlN6nnD.png)
Worst case scenario is occurring again. Right after CM leaves Tinker starts his downward spiral of feeding to the SF..

Forrest has randomed Lion
[ALLIES] Wck-^: Lion mid?
[ALLIES] Wck-^: ok.
[ALLIES] Wck-^: i'm done

It wouldn't be DotA if I didn't kill TB twice mid and then have my supports come start taking my farm middle, now would it?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fjvYw7O.png)
fuccbois anonymous that way -->
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/SpTTXfQ.png)
Alright.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Z8JAieY.png)
The enemy ogre has been flaming in all chat all game, meanwhile brown and gray have been asking the other team to "end mid" for a while now as well.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/YtgoD5t.png)
It wouldn't be DotA if someone didn't have their items stolen.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Y3aAfXY.png)

It wouldn't be DotA if someone didn't abandon.

DotA is a shitty game for not having a scenario where both teams lose.
2/16/2014:
griefed: 1/4 although people seemed especially stupid and bad, only the CM appeared to be intentionally griefing.
wins: 0/4

I woke up feeling especially ominous, I could tell today was gonna be a horrid day for DotA :S
Game 1:
+ Show Spoiler +
I randomed Centaur to start. My team really shit the bed (they picked all of their heroes) and we almost didn't have a courier. We ended up with an ember jungling, sniper + DP bottom, and invoker middle. Things are we going decently at the start and I was pretty excited to win a game!
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/aW50h1f.png)
I don't wanna talk about it.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/OjQQbH3.png)
Game 2:
+ Show Spoiler +
I random Tiny and tell the team that I'll farm bottom. We end up in a tri-lane vs tri-lane scenario with Ogre + PoTM in which we get first blood and things are looking good. Too good.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Z3Ps8IS.png)
Rather than just continue to win bottom, they smoke directly in front of an observer, what happens next?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/uekBLvN.png)
They don't really get any wortwhile kills and trade negatively because the top lane ursa went middle and dropped the hammer. Meanwhile, it's been 6 minutes since I've had any help against a tri-lane and they take the tower and dive me twice. The PoTM spam pings me and the tower and uses the >Well Played! text.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MdR3rUo.png)
I am no longer the carry. Ogre and PoTM are now the carries and I should refrain from hitting creeps so that PoTM and Ogre can farm.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/gNqyEX5.png)
Nice.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cqimHHa.png)
That's that I suppose.
Game 3:
+ Show Spoiler +
I random Beastmaster and go solo offlane. Some guy with #SADBOYS in his name picks SF. I am worried already.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/E7lgHI2.png)
Sad indeed.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RNGPomn.png)
On a related note: SF and TB both flamed me for losing them this game. If you're out there reading this guys, I'm SO sorry!!!
Game 4:
+ Show Spoiler +
I random Batrider and go to the jungle.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/850HjKC.png)
I get a 7 minute blink dagger. However I'm not level 6 since CM thought it would make sense to share the experience that I was getting from my stacks. Socialism sucks.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3pEVQ57.png)
I ask CM to stop using Nova on creep waves so I can farm my force staff.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/jHn03PZ.png)
I ask her again. To no avail.

I randomed Medusa. I hit creeps. My team won without me.

The end.
Game 2:
+ Show Spoiler +
I randomed Medusa again. Why? Is this a test?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WygM4g2.png)
I mean, okay?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1WSVbeF.png)
OKAY?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/41SYnNe.png)
Just for the record here: you'll get a MUCH faster midas, like up to 2 minutes faster, if you just start with a qb + stout and a stack of tangos. Especially when you have CM aura to cast scorched earth on CD. I don't think this doom even used scorched earth that often.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LumpOis.png)
I don't even know.

Thanks?
Game 3:

I randomed DK and was pretty happy. I really enjoy DK. Despite someone already having picked Storm to go middle with, I wasn't worried, I could just go farm bottom. Right?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yqqQ8j3.png)
WRONG.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/sva5jYg.png)
Whatever, I'm not in the mood for this.

Oh well.

I randomed AA. I like AA and was planning on going mid against SF. It's a pretty easy lane with chilling touch!
