When he created reliable gold, he made the mechanic mostly used by carries, farming, unrealible, while making the mechanics that give gold to the whole team, killing heroes and objective, reliable, in an attempt at diminishing how much supports starved from gold if they were picked off. Midas, being a support item, clearly fits the reliable gold criteria. If midas was a support item when reliable gold was introduced, then I think this made sense. Maybe if the midas cannot be sold or dropped? Then we're on. | ||

Bonus points if you get this conversation: "How come you went Orchid? Sheep would have been much better this game." "What is Sheep?" Never play with low MMR friends. | ||

I'm nothing special at this game myself and recognise that if I'd played well enough I could have carried to victory. It's just funny when you spend an hour playing a game where teammates make it so damn hard. | ||

If you're playing with random dudes then I can understand the frustration. But if you're queueing with low mmr friends then just try to have fun with them because you're not gonna have a good game most likely. | ||

From my expirience new accounts bump too often into smurfing, stacking tryhards. The best executed trilanes I ever witnissed in my games were on my smurf account. | ||

 I dont play dota much, I played quite a lot of LoL/SC, but when big Dota2 tournament happen (usually TI, in this case MLG) I rather enjoy watching them, which in turn makes me want to try playing it, and each time it ends up kinda the same way. The one thing that I have a hard time getting over when switching games and that ends up frustrating me is the game engine and how everything seems slow and sluggish when it comes to turn speeds/animations/projectiles, and it feels like trying to control a 36 tons truck compared to sc/lol where everything is super responsive and fast. Does this feeling go simply go away after playing more games or are there micro tips/tricks to exploit it that I can practice to get over it? Also is there a TL newbie group somewhere where I can find other friendly newbs to learn the game with? I swear to god I saw a thread like that once but I cant find it anymore  | ||

I swear to god I saw a thread like that once but I cant find it anymore Dota might feel a bit sluggish compared to "other games" because heroes have something called "turn rate", which is different for each hero and can be affected by certain spells. It actually adds quite a bit of tactic to the game. If you see a stun come towards you, you might want to blink forward instead of back as it takes longer, for instance. Or if you're puck and phaseshifted onto an area with a dot, you have to blink the direction you where facing, or he takes too long turning around, takes dmg, and blink goes on cooldown. It does disappear over time. Coming from sc(2?) you shouldn't notice that much of a difference tho, units there have turn rate as well. All blizzard games do (and this used to be a mod based on one after all) | ||

I swear to god I saw a thread like that once but I cant find it anymore Never played LoL so I can't really comment on that, but the "slugishness" is a Dota mechanic. Basically, it makes it so positioning is also about where your hero faces, spell casting isn't just about what your skill does but also how it does it (e.g. wind up time) and it also allows for differentiating heroes in neat ways. It's a complex thing that isn't exactly intuitive, but it's something I like and you should get used to it over time as you learn to figure it into your play. | ||
