literally the only time what you're doing works is when the enemies are so retarded that they forget about the other heroes and they farm because they've thought they already won because your actually uncarriable

you are not good

you're literally trying too hard to get around facing how terrible you are by making up this shit

Why's that? I seem to get this train of people who literally laugh at my blogs. I find this incredibly rude and maybe I should starting reporting people for their rudeness. Show some respect man.

I have just come upon the phenomenon that is Laertes. And I just want to commend the person(s) behind the persona for their commitment to this elaborate joke.

But if you're real, don't misconstrue this as rudeness, I'm simply taking a risk.

Okay that replay is unavailable but I watched another KotL replay.

There's stuff like.

- Buys smoke as starting item on KotL and doesn't do anything with till eventually uses it to run to lane quicker after dying. Not a big deal but you could have done something else with that 100g, who are you going to gank as KotL anyway.
- Blocks his own camp from spawning by standing next to it then tries to deward nothing. Other team didn't actually buy a single ward.
- Pudge and Troll destroy PA, KotL runs to help PA from a mile away after PA is already dead. Then KotL turns to run away, then turns again to right click Pudge and KotL dies.

Then it's just people feeding Pudge.

Seriously though man, just go back to your own MMR games, work on the basics instead of trying to be too cute.

There's just no shortcuts in getting good at DotA.

Seriously, I don't want to be mean here, but is this trolling or is the OP truly delusional? I haven't seen 41 deaths in a game where people intentionally fed and right clicked the enemy fountain the entire game from the start O.o

+ wants to know what the rubber is

my advice is that you should focus on learning by traditional methods until you reach a standard of competence and then apply your own genius/quirks to what you do at that point.... in dota and in life (hopefully you dump dota and get good at something more worthwhile tho.... your anxiety will vanish if you do this)

This doesn't add up.

Wards should be placed near unsafe places to make them safer. Placing a ward 200 units from the carry is very likely too conservative.

And standing so close to a carry means you're not contesting rune, zoning offlaner, producing fear in other players because you're off the map, and you're stealing exp. One of the worst suggestions I've read.

+ wants to know what the rubber is

when 6.82 (or whatever) patch was first released, with the new comeback gold mechanic, there was huge rubberbanding as a team that was previously behind would win a fight and shoot up in networth, only for them to lose the next fight and the other team to shoot back up. so you ended up with ridiculous gold swings back and forth, hence the rubberband effect. i guess our philosophical risktaker here figured he could just feed the enemy lots of kills so that when his team wins a fight they will cash in on all of his feeds and ride that rubberband to valuetown.

@OP:
It's funny I do the same thing in chess that you guys mention which is I do crazy stuff that doesn't make sense and am convinced that it could possibly be something genius. I don't know why I tend to do this but it produces some...inconsistencies...for a lack of a better term

no. it's why you're 1k dota, and 1400 elo chess.
oh and this gem from reddit
That's not true. I am a master. I have a very low rating because I am prone to let won positions slip out of my grasp on chess.com.

thats like saying "im really a 6k player in dota. im just 1k because i cant win games"
