There are levels of caring. I care about my shitty rating only in the fact that I would like to see it improve. I like to fee that I am getting better. I don't really care about it compaired to other players.

However, I do not care enough to get upset if someone goes full retard during a game or if we throw. To paraphrase NoTail, "your only hope is to go full retard with them and pray."

I guess I spoke too soon; rather, people talk of how much more "serious" ranked is when I am pretty satisfied playing unranked anyways (I only get about 3-4 games in a day before having to sleep).

Or no disconnects mid-game, this has been the bigger problem lately QQ.

As far as I can tell, there is no difference. A lot of my friends go unranked to try out unorthodox builds, but they get flamed in unranked anyway. And ranked gives you numbers :D

Yeah, but it reminds of SC2; how obsessed I was over arbitrary numbers as if anyone gave a rat's ass.
With unranked; it still tracks my w/l, but it doesn't add a needless pressure if I can rationally detach from its absence of importance.

Plus, you get some weird in unranked as you said Saw a Razer go aghanims and then Refresher rofl (we won)

I find in unranked you get lots of people trying some of the more difficult to play heroes (pudge, earth spirit etc). I played 3 unranked games for the first time in weeks today and 2 of them had someone early abandon. Might just be coincidence though.

Aghs Refresher Razor will appear in ranked too, it's not too uncommon, surely your guides have those items as situational? :p

I believe it got quite popular a while ago, when Razor came back in the meta to counter OD. It got used by fnatic in some pro game, and after that it was everywhere on ladder for a while.

The only time i've seen razor ultimate with refresher was in an ability draft game but damn x2 of that spell is SICK!
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

It was flavour of the month but its actually really bad

Aghs + refresher is like 2 big dps items that don't seriously up your dps but do successfully tie your fighting to a huuuuuuge cooldown. However, if pushing it suddenly becomes semi-legit since that shit owns buildings.

Yah, am no good to the dota world without dinner. That and I can't just ignore the fiancée for 2-4 hours every night. It would be some poor decision making.
