Well, back when I played a lot, me and my friends would smash TDA, but then again, back then TDA was bad. This was like 6.3x during coL days, maybe it has improved since then? With the help of List Checker for less lag and such. Then again, we were a team of 4-5 that knew each other, so yeah, a little unfair on the opposition.

Before I take you up on your offer, Vicious, I need practice a little more, which also wont happen for quite a bit.

I've lost all my replays with me scrimming teams. =/ Or I would have already put them up in the Replay thread.

pfff

I think i might try to get vouched for IHCS. Problem with dxd is that I think i'm pretty much the only 1400+ player who only plays support, so I'm so dependent on my 900 ranked carry not fucking up.
I'm pretty sure that supporting is appreciated a lot more in IHCS then in dxdi. I'm just waaaaaaay better at ganking/supporting then at farming, but being the highest ranked player on your team every single game and then picking venge or ES is just too ridiculous. when you dominate the game, no one even notices and when your team gets raped, its all your fault. Its ridiculous, people check my dcstats, notice my 60 average CKR and laugh at me, not realising i'm ten times better then them, but I don't steal farm from the carry. Meh, just a bit frustrated at the moment i think ;-).
dota = frustrating

Oh you were talking that far back?
Yeah back then you could solo TDAs pretty much. It's improved a lot since then.

And yes pfff, people do appreciate good supporters, it's kinda expected. There's a lot of pressure on carry players, if you fuck up you get mass censured. I think a lot like you in that support heroes/gankers are more important, but since I'm still able to play carry a lot and usually better than my teammates could I usually ended up playing carry/solo.

DXD is just like judicator described, full of ignorant American kids. I'd say go for it, IHCS is fun if you're reaching for the top or just to plain improve competitiveness in dota. If I were you I'd start looking in DXD for players that know you that are also in IHCS or have teammates in IHCS that could support your vouch application.

I just finished watching it, I had no idea how you guys came back, I guess because of the sick pushing abilities of syllabear and chen, that chen was awesome btw. They didn't have any mass stunners or aoe, Lich's ult was useless. They killed a lot of people early on but none of them had any real damage items. Viper straight to relic lol? He should've been the one recommeded for mass censure. You guys did really well in sticking together, disabling when pushing, etc. GJ

Aaaaaand I realize yet again why i rarely play with TL.

Two battlefuries and boots only on BH and butterfly and battlefury on NA at 45 minutes is NOT NECESSARY.

Honestly, go play WoW or some shit. If you're going to waste my time farming all game, I'm just going to leave when the game should've been over.

Just because the other team isn't ganking doesn't mean that you shouldn't be. If you're just sitting idle and letting them farm, then go ahead, whine. It's not their fault that you let them get ridiculous items.

Ahhh, reading comprehension. What a valuable yet rare skill. I do suggest you look it up.
