But they also say that dota is a much harder game as a result and that last hitting is tougher, especially with denies. Personally I wouldn't have it any other way. The punishing aspect of dota makes it much more complex to me than league which is what I find fun. | ||

You should be reported for abusing language options. I saw a post on reddit similar to this. A couple comments suggested that people who were reported answer a basic question in English (or whatever language) to prove they spoke the language that they queued for to prevent abuse. | ||

Don't get me wrong I love counterstrike but its not really a low-downtime game. | ||

you can have a fast paced game even if your spells take a long time to cd. likewise cd doesn't stop you from accomplishing objectives because there are different ways to play the game. | ||

Also, you can get stompped because you carry didn't know how to play safe or get tinkered into the ground. The lows of dota are a hard for some people to handle. | ||

That hero's actually the most obnoxious thing ever but I always assumed that was when it was good players on it. As in, I can't off the top of my head think of another hero that, as soon as he shows a lot of skill like 5 mins into the game, makes me think "well we literally cannot win" | ||

I'm really thinking of just abusing heroes like viper and Lycan until I am out of sub 3k MMR. | ||

Like maybe 1k MMR kind of trash. Obviously it was a lot different back then, not really any easy way to follow a competitive scene or watch streams to learn. | ||

For instance, at around 300 games, I discovered why MoM was a great item on spirit breaker. His abilities basically scale with movement speed bc of how his greater bash dmg is calculated from it. I previously though that it was just bc of the bonus dmg from MoM active. | ||

Since I can't make these players more knowlagable about the game, I just have to try to escape without them. There isn't much point to practice a support like a bane when my team mates just nightmare themselves when we set up the gank. Edit: I don't think I am amazing, I am just discussing changing the way I play to deal with my MMR. I don't think trying to emulate pro level supports is helping me win games or get better right now. I think I need to focus on learning to carry a team of potatoes to victory and then get into more nuanced stuff. | ||

Last weekend I tries to set up a smoke gank with a bane. It took longer for him to come to me and move out than it did to attempt the gank. We go there, he walked up, popped the smoke and brain sapped the mid, who promptly walked away. I was playing CM and never even got a spell off.

There isn't much point to practice a support like a bane when my team mates just nightmare themselves when we set up the gank. Smoke ganking is not exactly a concept that low tier players can understand very well. There's only one way that they will getc better though, and it's by trying it for better or for worse. But you cannot expect a pub to have that level of coordination. If you have a better understanding of the game than another player, it would be a good idea that you take point and make sure that you're the one to initiate. | ||
