i like 1v1s

last night was a bad night overall for me but ya im just super inconsistent

i blame the music i was listening to maybe idk

I'm sure playing real dota is better practice than 1v1s

i dont take it as practice for real dota i hardly ever play mid in real dota anyway

i won a random troll game and a forced-into-support-puck game last night, puck support is p legit if both teams have 0 sense of rune control and you keep getting haste runes and you start out in a dusa puck vs spec pudge lane

1v1s are so dumb tho, its basically like making two baseball players compete in a home run derby and calling the winner the better baseball player

i mean i was originally challenging him to get him to stop posting, not to prove i'm the "better dota player" (tho i obv am)

and yaaaaay i get to see how bad p6's sf or puck or qop are

It will be SF. Puck will take to long and QoP is just a nightmare. And I'm just as good as I am on leshrac.

1v1 is fine if you treat it as its own game that has only moderate correlation to your overall DotA skill.

Edit: And I don't understand this obsession with mirrors or set matchups in DotA 2 1v1 rather than proper ban/pick.

theres no way puck takes too long it rarely lasts beyond hitting level 7 if it even gets there

i mean unless you concede all cs and play like a bitch in which case maybe we can set a lasthits/10min win condition

god the parallelism issues

even when i dont give a shit my grammar is fine minus punctuation i just have more typos n shit

u should 1v1 p6 heh

i called him out like 2 weeks ago but he dodged because he won't 1v1 for ban above 750 mmr disparity

hmmm do it not for ban
besides i didn't know mmr went that far below 3k

i didn't know the grammatical ability of paralegals went so low either but p6 is quite the specimen

You are really only 3K MMR? I assumed you were 4-5K or some shit.

Fine then, I'll 1v1 you at some point this weekend for no ban.

I mean, we normally play CS at 10 minutes or first death, no bottle, no runes. Thats been the standard set before.

Cs at 10 minutes is literally the dumbest rule for 1v1.

I feel like it only exists because people are too lazy to actually learn the nuances of "late game" 1v1.

Edit: ok 2nd dumbest, dumbest is first tower because of how easy it is to cheese 1st tower.

people don't spend too much time thinking about 1v1 meta, especially because the matchmaking mode is super flawed (lol runes + first tower + blind pick)

like i can do p/b but idk if it's as satisfying winning off of knowing OP 1v1 heroes better

yango not all of us are master theorycrafters who want to win 1v1s on gameknowledge
