Totally new account's matchmaking is so low that it's easy to pick a hero you're good at and go 25-0 no matter how bad your team is. And not many people know this, but during an account's first 10 or so games KDA matters a lot for determining ELO shift. If you're a front page level player, you're 5 or so curbstomps away from being right back where you were on your main.
And in the process of going 25-0 in your first game on a new account, you ruin the experience of the completely new players you are against.
But it doesn't seem like you care about ruining other peoples' experience with Dota 2 anyways.

I don't know if i like the crafting system, sure if the recipes drop often enough it might be a really cool thing but i guess they will be really rare

Now imagine if leaving games full of retards didn't incentivize me to smurf. Much better experience for those new players, right? But you'll never admit that's a good idea because MUH COMEBACKS

no legion commander.........-_-...... volvo disband........
I'm probably the only person disappointed in this patch seeing how all I really care about is lc.
*sigh* I guess I the wait continues as my supplies continue to dwindle and hope fades to a fools dream.

I'm finding some pretty entertaining bugs while playing with Kaolin.
Best so far:
http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=113205&p=825918#post825918
[Earth Spirit] Multiple active Boulder Smashes cause target teleportation
Refresher bug.
1. Have Refresher, levels in Smash
2. Raise a Remnant near a hero (enemy or friendly)
3. Smash the hero.
4. Refresh.
5. Quickly Smash the Remnant while the hero is still travelling.
The Smashed hero will teleport to a location in the trees to the right of the Dire bot T2. The Smashed Remnant will stop a very short distance away.
Can be a bit tricky to do. You see it a lot easier in -wtf, but it does happen in -unwtf.

there is a bug that prevents lc from functioning, its likely her release is delayed until the bug is fixed. since releasing a non functional hero sucks.

Source? Not doubting, just curious as to what the actual bug is.

Something about the time the attack animation speed being calculated at the wrong time. There is this video with a Lifestealer attacking a enchantress going around and he activates rage mid animation but the attack speed is slow until the full attack animation is completed
Lets see if I find the vid

The rest of my team is free to try to engineer a comeback if they're stubborn enough to really want one. The 4 of them can keep on playing, and micro the hero I left behind. They can hope for all the throws they want, but I'm not going to collaborate with them to play for some hail mary win when at least one of my teammates is a cunt that I'd rather see take an L. I'm going to move on to the next team ASAP and hope they're a better bunch, because as frustrating as a horrible team is, I'd say the ratio in high ELO pub games is something like 70-30 in favor of bearable teams.
I keep playing dota because I enjoy the experience more often than not, so I'm not going to just quit because valve decided to add more busywork to getting around the shit teams. I can damn sure complain about it though, because valve's obsession with trying to make every group of 5 strangers get along for 40+ minutes is the worst thing about the game atm.
In my experience, whenever I leave a terrible game at the 5-10 minute mark then check the replay, the rest of my team files out within the next minute, so I don't even buy into this idea that everyone likes comebacks and that leaving prematurely is "ruining the game" for them - these people are out of the game as soon as they see the opportunity, they just don't have my level of tech savvy when it comes to avoiding valve's automated punishments, so they're more skittish about being the first to leave.
This reply is late but it must be said that you are a douche.

The Earth spirit and the Ember spirit have the EXACT same model ?
New Storm spirit looks so good that I may just mass SS games for a bit.
