in fact, I think the community is noticeably better than it was a year ago. In 2006 last hitting was a foreign concept, much less lane controlling, for most people. Now you can be in a game with 5 new people and someone will scream not to autoattack. | ||

The alternative is getting a heart and running around the enemy team in circles while spamming the chat with: "I'm pushing your lanes as we speak and you can't do anything about it". It generates just as much rage as a Dagon + Shadowblade NP. | ||

Lycan howls, drow buff+visage familars destroy towers before you can even TP. I am still a bit upset at that strategy. | ||

Are those just the perils of MM? I come from SC2 where I enjoyed a slightly over 50% ratio at a masters level. I feel like I am being efficient and playing "well" for my level but I just lose...and lose...and lose. I need some encouraging words. I love Dota 2 but I hate losing game after game because I always have one feeder. Or Russians farming during team engagements. | ||

This doesnt necessarily mean that you have to play a carry and 1v5, but it is also possible by supporting and directing better, adjusting your own play to cover the mistakes of others, or simply completely eliminating the mistakes of your own play. Unfortunately, MM tends to actually be fairly decent at putting people of similar skill levels in games together, thus its harder for a single person to hit that godlike 1v5 status, either in ability to carry or win through simple game knowledge. The higher you get in rating, the harder it is to pull this sort of thing off because the marginal knowledge/skill you have available to you to carry is less (and the other team makes fewer mistakes, relatively). So if you start to get frustrated, focus on your own play and see how you can improve. Always remember that it IS possible to win 4v5's (either in terms of having a dead weight teammate or having a straight AFK). Most of the time those games suck and the effort simply isnt worth the reward, but they do happen. | ||

If it's not possible for you to win more than 50% of your games over a certain amount (law of big numbers and shizzle, I doubt it takes more than 100 games total tho) then... you have exactly the team mates you deserve on average. For every game that your team was "utter trash" and got stomped you had one game where the exact same happened to the opponent team. Amen. | ||

IF and only IF my teammates are so bad that i have to go on a 5 minute rampage to win the game, they are so stupid/blind that they pick 4 agi heroes and at least one of them goes mid with me. Steals XP or competes with lasthitting. Or (like yesterday) micros the courier into enemy towers every 2 minutes to test your multitasking abilitys. The rest of the games I play are fairly balanced. | ||
