I'm actually worried, I've been winning too many games on my smurf even with the most retarded builds.
I went double bfury on Lion the other day, when asked I explained it was 'to cleave the PL illusions', and the enemy bounty hunter + PL spent the next 40 minutes trying to explain to me that cleave doesn't work for ranged. I ended up winning with a score of 25/10.

5bfury QOP and losing are not mutually exclusive. In fact, you might say one is highly conducive to the other 
IMO, the point of smurfing is to lose in fun ways, so that you can win however you wish.
Edit: ROFL at firebolt. Good thing your opponents are so knowledgeable XD

I received yet another key today (got one in the wave of keys last week). I guess they've increased their servers =)

We've all been through the "6 game lose streak. 9 game win streak, 9 game lose streak because of my teammates" in this MMR.
*sigh* Sometimes, I just wanna quit solo queuing, but I just can't help it.

same, keep selling them for treasure keys got a strange invoker hood and cloak
and on mm, i assumed all 10 people are taken from similiar mmr and it's multiplayer. So everytime one side has a good game the other side might not be experiencing the same 'great' game as you are. Or does the mm actually 'average' out the mmr levels? If so it's stupid lol

That's why you don't level it up until you get your first bfury. This is actually why Lion isnt picked much in competitive, he really requires a lot of farm to be effective. blink + bfury + manaboots = 8k gold.

Question. Its a scrim, and you are playing Natures Prophet in the safe lane alone vs a solo WR. Your team has aggressive tri lane. Your setup is for pushing early and fast. What is best way to play? As in, best starting items, best skill build, playstyle etc? Should NP focus more on last hits or denies ? Should NP be leaving the lane alot to help gangs or stay and farm?
And to expand, what about vs BH or DS ?
(maybe this should be in Dota 2 strategy, but didn't think it warranted a new thread though.)

you're overthinking it just outlane them and kill things with teleport

I really hope they will introduce a separate "ranked" matchmaking eventually, if only for full team CM. Which could serve as platform for system matched scrims of different levels and as a base for in-game tournament platform.
I think the in-game tournament system of Bloodline Champions was pretty fun, with cosmetic rewards, titles etc. for well performing teams. Also with the quality of spectating system it would be pretty fun to root to your friends, maybe allow few first spectators to choose if they want to cast the game?
Then again, Dota matches are pretty longish so it would either require multiple mini-tournaments or just over weekend larger one with bo1? There would probably have to be separate skill tiers based on teammatchmaking ranks, a division system? Would anyone of you play in such if it was implemented?
I remember picking up teams from chat in BLC if my friends weren't online for one, but I don't know how valid it would be for Dota.

Basically this. You don't really care about winning lane, you just want levels and whatever farm you can get while tping around the map raping face.

or you win all the time.

Yeah well I put 1 level of Treants and harass her with that to push her back. Then maxed TP out. So the consensus is you are not there to farm, but to gang, and its not really a problem if WR gets decent farm.

Such a fan of Razor. His midgame is decently strong and if he gets rollin' then he'll be a force lategame. So fun.

Yeah Razor can be fun if you get your game going. But I don't really play him unless I get him in random because I'm really bad at feeling his attack animation and suck at last hitting with him.
