IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

I play to win, always, even if it means picking the same hero 50 games in a row (which I have done). Nowadays, I just insta-pick drow and win 80% of my games.

Although I think we all want to win, it is how one goes about trying to win that matters or makes one a tryhard. I just hate facing premades since I know from the get-go, their teamwork will be better. So have to simply outplay them to make up the difference in teamwork.

Alas, I like to mess around at times. Winning is nice and all. but going unique builds can be so fun. Going carry support can be fun.

Well to be fair I only played one game on her.
As soon as I randomed her 2 people on opposing team repicked to sven,jakiro(other 3 picks were gyro,bounty,centaur).From lvl 3 on I got camped by 4 people that started tower diving me as soon as I poked my head out from a lane,they were following me around as well when I went to some other lane.I seen a lot of hate in my life but nothing like that time hahaha.I was like fuck this shit I ain't playing her anymore.

What's the deal with people hating on "tryharding"? It's really illogical.

Like, you play some current trendy hero like magnus/sven or some shit and suddenly you're a tryhard just because of that reason. You buy a smoke, a ward or a sentry and you're tryharding. (on the other hand, you don't and you're bad)

I hate having a 5carry team and the other team is playing like it's a qualifier for TI3 as well, but it's so silly raging on people when they wanna win. I never understood the logic behind the hate on "tryhard".

If you wanna play for fun, play for fun. Dagons BH's and Axes galore, why not but don't expect other people to play the same way if they just wanna improve/win.

So what do you guys do? Do you play to win, or just do random shit?

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=310452

?
That thread is mean't for QQ stories, I'm merely interested in what people think of tryharding and if they do it/why.

the point of labelling people tryhard is to make you feel better about yourself

if you win after calling the other guy a tryhard - lol ur so much better than that tryhard so lost despite trying so hard
if you lose after calling the other guy a tryhard - lol the other guy only won because he's so tryhard to win

case in point: I play dota while watching anime, tv shows, or chinese dramas 90% of the time, anybody watching dota screen over 50% of the time is a tryhard, why so tryhard.
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Plus he's improving at a steady rate, he's already using lobbies to practice last hitting.

Feels good.

Even though I harbor no hatred towards LoL, my favourite is still when an ex-LoL player comes and says how he really has enjoyed dota2 after converting.

Can I have your friends?

I have a friend who plays non stop, has like 500 wins and still sucks.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

I said improving at a steady rate, not that he's good but he's improving and seeking to improve on his own.

I have over 700 and depending on the day/game i feel like the biggest noob or pretty decent ^^.


The only thing that annoy me about "tryhards" is that i tend to run into "them" when I want to have 100% fun game and nothing is working because they are actually playing decent/good ^^. (Lina/Lion-Lothargangsquad is coming for ya anyway.. It just fails !)

At least they play dota. My irl friends that game knows about dota, some of them have history with dota, they even say that they enjoy dota 2 but in the end they still play LoL because thats what the masses play. It was me and another guy that stood our ground and didn't come with the rest of our social circle to play LoL but that dude gave in now too because his fucking girlfriend plays LoL with her friends and now he plays with her lol.

If people are willing to subject themselves to the horror of 50 straight games of Drow or Cent just to win... then I guess they just deserve to win more than me.

For me it's a topic of ethics. Personally, I don't willingly pick blatanly overpowered heroes because I don't want to be that guy. To me, it's almost like cheating. So when I see other people pick drow for example, especially if they pick her 100+ times, I lose respect because it looks to me like these people need an unfair advantage to win.
