I can see why anonymously soloq-ing could be lower pressure than a friendly stack. | ||

In Dota 2, it's different levels of expectations and different results when things don't go their way. I've had acquaintances and friends be very critical mid-game: "Why would you do that?" "Why did you go in like that? You saw they were here/there/at my momma's house" "Why are you alone?". This is one example but they all have different ways of reacting to bad matches and I'd rather not be aparty to those circumstances. Simply, it's circumstantial (sometimes you do stupid moves without thinking or sometimes your rationale during the heat of the moment made sense then) as discussing it after the full game can be justified. But the approach and tone felt more hostile than constructive criticism and the line of questioning for the better part of 10 minutes made playing with these people very unwelcoming. and I'm definitely someone who thanks people for playing with me and asks what I could I have done that game to play better. + Show Spoiler + This was way before the guide system was released, so pre-February 2013. Moving to EU and having improved thanks to the guide system has made me soloqueue more but also play a lot better than before. So in that regard, I play alone because I assume everyone is as bad or worse than me and if not, I take a strong moral leadership role when I try to keep everyone's heads up and play off any bad mistakes as "not that bad". So I compensate my shitty scores in games by being more upbeat and positive. I'm very chatty when I'm with randoms strangely (mic or chat). + Show Spoiler + I am also more vocal and critical towards randoms as well, both sides of the coin | ||

That skywrath/tinker pick off at 1:50 is pretty sick. | ||

im totally silent in my solo q games except for when i flame someone with my friends i get flamed but i laugh it off, just last week they told me i drafted the worst lineup in the history of playing dota and i also managed to lose my last life in ARDM by accidently pressing suicide. i used to thank ppl from TL for playing me and stuff and ask how to get better but now i just dont bother and save focsuing on improving for my own time | ||

About the only buff that i can see is buffing shackle to be bit better level 1, and im pretty sure with shackle level 1 to be a guaranteed full charge powershot, she might have some real use in the those first 2-3 levels. all id do is 3 int gain, 2/2.75/3.25/4 second shackle | ||
