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.

Razor+Bane can be quite funny.

On one of my old teams that was relatively bad, we played against a razor bane + some carry lane (so support razor).

Caught SD out of position, slept him, drained his damage, lost the game.

Was a sad day.

Pudge + Bane is my favorite troll lane.

The reason tiny + brew was funny was because tiny didnt give a fuck and yolo tossed me all the time and I was mostly tanky enough to survive. I imagine tiny and a brew, centaur, pudge or slardar could be played in a very similar way.

Bane razor also sounds like it could be fun but its a little more on the tactical side.

Clockwork Darkseer is also a pretty troll lane that creates a lot of chaos.

Slark feels like a perfect hero to just create massive ammounts of chaos with someone. Perhaps slark qop or someone else with a leap or blink.

Lina and Rylai perhaps, just wandering around with double arc boots and blowing people too bits. Cm probably needs a blink or forcestaff first tho.

Gyro shadow shaman is pretty troll because binding is such a long stun. But slark gyro should be hilarious, dont even need a stun because people die so quickly to darkpact and barrage. Need to build a lot of extra hp tho.

I met a lane with Spirit Breaker and Viper once in my beginner days, I still cry once in a while looking back at it.

So, since the solo queue is now somehwat "hidden" or disappeared for the people, who don't read changelogs I think valve should make it so that solo queue is automaticly tagged. It only applies, when you're actually solo and not in a party anyway. Thoughts?

What about four stacks? Someone has to be that one unlucky fellow that gets to fill that fifth slot.

Sure, if you land stomp it makes for some painfully easy hooks

I prefer to yolo queue with groups of players in the game. Though the game is fundamentally different, there is usually a group of players already with an idea of how they want to win the game, so all you have to do is piggyback off of them, and learn their style. It's just a fundamentally different teamwork requirement.

Having thick skin and not being wood league helps.
