Interesting app, via the reddit link. Looks like borderline cheating, with Roshan spawn and aegis expiration timer on allied chat...
Regarding your allies stats, I'm a bit torn. I used to check the stats, but most of the times I would find myself quite disappointed / scared / defeated even before the match starts. So much red. We lost.
So recently I just stopped checking, and gave them all some basic trust. I don't know if that's rational or not. The reasoning here is we can all have bad games, sometimes we lose many in a row and it's not even your fault (I mean... you know), and most of all, if I see all that red beforehand, I'll probably end up flaming/making snarky comments when they die early. Which leads to an almost guaranteed lost.
So yeah, I give my allies the benefits of the doubt. But it's also for me, it's more relaxing that way (or I should say, less demoralizing for me). Let's not talk about the past, let's try our best now.
Meh!
Didn't get it to work for battlecup games. Might have been a conflict with the dotaplus app I guess. Ran both of them to scout the opponents but only got the dotaplus data.

At what point does the trench end? At what point does games become somewhat decent and worthwhile?

At what point are your teammates emotionally mentally mature intelligent human beings who understand dota is a team game and as such puts the team before anything else - their petty egos in particular?

When your opponents are bad enough that you reliably carry any team.

When you start playing in a stack instead of pubs

One thing in noticed is at TI the morphlings were all going quelling, or even getting blight stone on top instead of getting Aquila, can understand it for the faster tower pushes but the extra regen and stats from Aquila still seems worth it to me, which is better if you're just farming?

I think you are comparing apples and oranges. Aquilla likely does more for your farming speed, but QB is a quarter of it's cost and what you get out of QB+RD is pretty comparable for way less price.
Also AF.Madara bought both QB and RoA in the main event. The other game I checked was RTZ's, in which he likely bought the blight stone to participate in fights after his team started snowballing.
QB is just such a great pickup in general for speeding up your jungle speed and helps stacking as well.

QB on morph also good because u have literally only base damage, if u compare this to lets say luna or gyro where u either build damage items like phase etc. or have in build damage increase like lunar blessing, u get a lot less out of QB on those heroes compared to morph.

why do people say that sny and bf is a shit item on jug? is it because of the prevalence of diffu manta builds that makes people think that its the only good build around? cuz i find bf to be quite core on a late farming jug so that he can compete against other late game carries in farm.
also how do you find middle ground between helping your team and just farming lanes when playing as a midgame carry like jug? especially in solo pubs where ppl dont know when to stick and just keep on farming also

BF is situational, recently games have been played quickly so you can't utilize a BF effectively in most games unless you're against someone like an antimage (and even then you might still go manta diffusal to take advantage of antimage's weak early timing). Also, it depends on your tier of play. At a certain level your team will start eating all the map farm up even if you don't get a BF so your team overall farm is just as good with or without BF, even though you personally may be a bit poorer. At lower levels you can probably sit and farm for longer without being punished and without taking farm from your team, so a BF is better at lower levels.
Then again, at lower levels it takes longer to get a BF so it has its tradeoffs.
Manta diffusal is also very oriented around illusions, so with patch 7.00 that may change a lot (SNY buff and manta and diffusal nerfs).
With regards to balancing farm vs helping team, in pre-7.00 meta you basically want to push every time your ulti is up until all t2s are down, and farm when it's down. But if you can't get your team to push with you then it may be better to just keep farming.

If you play Wraith King and die while silenced, will the ulti still pop?

Never...You get to around 5k and people are at least generally aware of how a game is supposed to go, but then it always turns into a 5050 mmr fool antagonizing a 4900 mmr guy as if there is a major difference between the two and the games turn into crap. 5000 also seems to be the general cut-off in people's minds of good vs bad, so once you're around 5k the egos are massive.
You then manage to get a few wins and climb into the 5500 mmr or so range, and you start getting wide-ass MMR spreads where it will be you + one other mid 5k and three 4600 mmr guys and the games suck.
If you continue moving on up, this mmr spread just becomes an even bigger issue and the games get worse.

Does searing chains make monkey fall from the trees? If so he's a really good counter. As the hero is pretty elusive with 1 point in ult and 1 in sleight of fist. And Mk uses his only disable as a finisher most often

Do you die when break is applied to you? Or break and silence?

no because technically you die, and break (like other debuffs) are removed upon death, and then reincarnation brings u back
