Your tinker icon speaks for itself. Those games are indeed unwinnable if you flame your mates for their pick, you sound like the guy I mute before the horn.

What? So because I play a certain hero it makes me a flamer? Nice assumptions. Matter of fact is 5th pick CM against a Deathball and 4th pick BH are just not good. btw i rarely even use chat... i prefer chat wheel. I just try to say after the game that BH and Cm is not good pick... When we needed a carry u cant 5th pick CM

You sound like one those guys that picks OP Tinker every game and is sad when he can't get rampages with his OP hero because teammates picked subpar hero

He's not really OP but it's a hero that requires full team effort to win a tinker game. Just 1 idiot on your team can allow him to snowball from the start or not end the game early enough before he gets 4-5 slotted.

Also whenever i see a random noob on my team, checked his dotabuff after game. HIgh chance that account is a smurf and majority of the games are tinker games. Way too many people are spamming tinker and abusing the smurf detection system to inflate his mmr.

So fuck that hero. I wish he gets nerfed.

skadi on ember is kind of nuts, its basically a free AOE attack speed and movespeed slow

I'd rather pick to the team than the meta, and I've had some games where CM was exactly the right pick. CM, Jugg, offlane bristle, mid necro, jungle enigma. It's not like that lineup is awful, and CM isn't really in thaaaaaat bad of a spot, really. She never had much base damage to speak of, so the fact that she hits like a ranged creep now is just a small step down from hitting like a catapult.

On another topic, I started playing solo ranked again, and am actually feeling fucking good about it. Perhaps I'm not totally awful after all.

I have a friend who absolutely loves playing CM. I have no idea why, just does. I make sure to get some mana-hungry low-int heroes to pair with her, such as Slark or Ursa, who can handle themselves pretty well. It works quite well.

Just find something comfortable that you can play along the hero that the other player is clearly comfortable with.


CM's just really comfortable to play because she's so versatile. She's got too weak a lane to justify always being picked, but she used to be my go-to support in any game where a counterpick / synergy pick wasn't obvious.

CM does everything decently and can support almost any lineup. She does all three of the greedy/aggro/defensive roles, it's just... low base stats across the board make life hard.


cm in pubs is fine too

cm + kunkka lane is almost a guaranteed kill at lvl 2 - frostbite, nova, torrent, tidebringer

melts most people's HP bars before they can get away. cm/kunkka is the lane cheese i do when i'm desperate for a win

Not always, but it does save a lot of headaches. I've been in games where everything turned around when I muted my entire team.

Abadon / veno + viper / huskar is also recommendable

And muting your team when you're in a grumpy mood is absolute bliss, dota and no complains, flames or condescension is so good when youre not in the mood for it

Best to wait to mute, because there are also some really great people who contribute a ton.
