Yes. It is an occasional pick in pro games.

An example from recent Boston qualifiers:

How do you guys not lose your sanity when playing public match making? How do you justify wasting time?

By learning to adapt to the imperfect situation you are put in, which makes the game bearable at least. Sometimes it's really fun.

Or trying to reach X mmr for sense of achievement.

How does Echo Sabre's proc interact with Linkens? Does it block nothing, only the slow, or also the second attack?

Echo Sabre and Linken have nothing to do with each other?
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you to their level and then beat you with experience. http://www.dotabuff.com/players/115305822 https://yasp.co/players/115305822

Linkens only blocks targeted spells or item actives. Echo Sabre isn't a targeted spell.

you can always abandon once after every 10~15 games.

Seriously though, there is something about this game that can make the most saint person into a raging trashtalker. Maybe because a single stupid mistake can easily lose you the game? I mean, when my ally drow ranger skipped her slow and silence until lv16 or something, I'll admit, I'm not gonna be having any fun in that game, even if my team somehow wins the game.
Play 90% support, no support in 9% of games T_T

There is no justifying the wasted time. You either have fun playing or you should quit. I have fun in 99%+ of my games, I even have fun playing 1vs5 most times. I enjoy the game, the other players have small impact on that, if bots were better I would probably play them.

Relatable. In person Im such a patient compassionate friendly guy but there's something about people not putting the team before themselves in a team game that makes me absolutely rage and lose my ability to think clearly XD

question: why the fuck does people who actually have a team waste their time playing public match making when they could be scrimming?

Its not always easy to find teams to scrim with it and pros also need to time to just relax and fuck around rather than playing 100% all the time.

Except they seem to find it very frustrating and waste of time mostly, dont they?
