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 find it more annoying when people on my team bitch about russians/brs than I do the people they're complaining about. 90% of the time the russians or south americans are playing better than them. (Just had a game where 2 members of my team kept talking shit to a Venezuelan because "all of them are Brazilian" ... Americans make me sad).

The south americans are even speaking english most of the time, I don't get it. It's not perfect english but it's perfectly adequate for playing a dota 2 game with them.

Not sure why you are leaving it just Americans - I've seen a lot more threads on reddit complaining about "russians", than I have from Americans complaining about "BRs"

How the fuck do you get out of MMR hell? Out of my last 20 games I've won maybe 3 because my team mates are either too new or too stupid to have any degree of skill. It's making me just want to not play dota again, ever.

i started to play this game from the bottom, there is no mmr hell

I've somehow delved below the bottom, where people silently co ordinate to put 3 people in mid, or die to neutrals.

You're only looking at your own team. You're not seeing the equal incompetence on the other team that creates more than enough room for a good player to go 20-0-0 and 1v5.

I guess. It's just frustrating having a retarded team that I either die horribly with or have to carry, when I want to play support.

Playing support doesn't preclude you from ganking every lane and going 20-0-0. It's not "good support play" to afk pull safe lane and expect your teammates to carry you.

If you can easily win with a carry, pick a carry for a few games, move up, be happy supporting in better games. If you stop being able to get easy wins with carries, you are at a point you can't possibly be much better than everyone else.

I like to play kotl and cm though, so it's not easy to gank. Whatever though, as many people say solo queuing is pointless anyway higher up as you get matched with stacks. I'll go back to sc2, at least solo queuing there is fun.

You should really be ganking with CM, he's an incredibly strong early game hero. KotL not so much.

easiest way to win is going mid with hero capable of ganking and semi carrying. qop is a great example.

cm is probably the easiest hero to gank with. nova --> bite ---> free kills.

Because I'm American myself and find it uncomfortable whenever half my team starts shouting racial slurs in southern drawls. It just makes me sad when they keep re-affirming stereotypes.

the entire point of CM is to gank, secure lanes and be damn sure your team has an advantage entering the midgame. Maybe you are part of the problem afterall? (;
