Define a small amount of capability. Because for the small amount I'm thinking, it would honestly better for the guy to just sit in fountain and spend his clock gold on obs, sentries, and smokes for the team to use.

Lack of vision is fucking killer.

Actually I'd consider that greed in the terms of a carry. They have the gold and yet aren't using it to benefit the team over themselves.

Greed / Capitalist scum etc etc

I got the impression that draskyl wasn't allowed to cast the main stage, which means he was allowed/scheduled to cast everything else.
judging from the format, this simply means he gets to cast any number of games between phase 1-3, which is honestly a bunch of exposure any way you look at it


remember boys pride is one of the seven deadly sins

I honestly feel no pity for someone who declines an invite to TI.

Like, holy shit, how big is your ego if you decline working at the biggest esports event.. EVER?

Exactly, the cost of wards is nothing compaired to the cost of placing them. I'll buy wards for my support before I go without.

And the there are the carries that don't use the wards you buy or just farm in places where you didn't put them.

Or carrys that don't buy drums and then get obliterated by Lina because they have no HP and whine because no one is backing them up.

Whoa son, what games are you playing. This isn't some Dream League shit, we are in pub dota, where we are greatful that wards are placed at all.

If they are not out there making space, you can't farm either.

And let's be frank. Not buying wards isn't so much the problem as it is symptomatic of a greater problem. If your supports are refusing to ward, they probably don't have the mindset of a support and your team will suffer because of it.

i havent bought wards at all recently because im trying to get better at actually supporting with spells and shit, i always used to think i was doing great because we had vision and shit but in reality i was just walking gold for the other team.

I am a support that has refused to buy wards for idiot carrys that don't listen or back up when the team tells them they are going to get ganked. I can't make them smart and I'm better of rushing mek or some other team based item that will get is through the game.

Remember, your first set of wards will tell you if you should ever buy wards again.

Or you could do both instead of using the extra gold from not buying wards as a crutch.

well idk what kind of people you guys get matched up with but in all of my games I've had at least one person warding/doing 5 stuff

wards/detection benefit you as much as it benefits your team, why be vindictive?

I alway buy wards until I make the decision that my team isn't looking at the mini map. But even whe I am a carry I buy dust or even sentries if I need detection. Playing the 5 role in a pub game can be super hard if no one has your back and sometimes you are better off spreading out the cost of team based items and gettig that guy some farm.

Just yesterday I played slark and upgraded te courier because it needed to happen. My supports were doing their thing and warding, but we needed the crow.

And it's not vindictive, it's making the decision your team mates are not using the gold you spent.

It says something if you aren't benefiting from the wards either.
