So our team basically sucked ass during the early game. I'm talking bad like by 20 minutes all our t2's are down and they're aiming to break base. Our pl has mediocre to below average farm, our weaver is even worse off. However, we have warlock, silencer, and earthshaker (me), all with terrible to no farm. They are sb, od, viper, undying, and wd. At this point in the game their entire team is levelled about 2-4 above ours and their od is just untouchable (he was about 8 levels higher than our highest guy..yea he was fed hard). They play smartly during these first 20 minutes but then sb decides to be greedy during their mid lane base breaking attempt by charging after our weaver near our t3 top lane. Their entire team follows suit in case he needs backup, but they are also clumped up....I land an echo slam/fissure combo on their faces, followed promptly by a money-ass golem, followed by a money-ass silence to clean up. Teamwipe. We're still behind immensely since this is the only teamfight we won thus far, but we jokingly tell each other "alrite we just need to do that 5 more times n we got dis." We frikin end up doing it 3 or 4 more times (once with them popping a nice pipe which just wasn't enough thanks to an amazing fatalbonds) to catch up. Flash forward to 50 minutes and we're down 2 lanes of rax bc they pushed with an aegis. Our only option to win is to somehow go for the throne. I stay back to defend but buy a BoT in case I'm needed. The rest push onwards through mid with a semi-suicidal push. Warlock is able to drop ult before he dies which helps take down the t3, but its essentially pl vs the world after that since the rest of my team tp'ed back to base while weak. I watch intently as pl is dangerously close to 35% hp but I realize the enemy heroes are carelessly positioned together in the heat of the battle...so I travel boots to our incoming creep wave, blink->echo->fissure. Their wd is instantly killed while their od/viper/undying are near dead...pl wipes them all clean with 20% hp, and solo t4's + thrones it to win (i died from viper ult). It was the most intense game I've ever played and the best part was during the second half of the game when we came together so many times. edit: lol wall of text sry didnt realize when i was writing it o well | ||

I played this game as Jakiro where our storm went 0-6 in 10 minutes solo mid. Our BH was 6 shots deep at the start of the game and was taking additional shots after every death. He ended up being hilarious in team chat and keeping morale high while we pulled off a sick comeback in the late game after we were 1 rax down. | ||

So what happened? Everyone ganked! Furion tp'ed to nearly every one of them, Pudge was all around the map at once, I had the easiest job of them all and just charged everything with Bara, and wisp and clinkz all came around to give us a ridiculously good start which just snowballed to a pre-20 min gg. Even with my team I normally play with we don't have the level of synergy we had in that match. | ||

The game itself doesn't even matter, although it helped we were ahead the entire time so it didn't distract. Myself and a friend got into a game with another 2 stack and a 5th random. The 2 stack ended up being really cool dudes, my friend and one of them just started speaking with russian accents the whole time saying ridiculous things we were laughing our asses off. Probably helped that everyone was drunk but still, we had a good time, and added these two guys afterwards. In a game known for immaturity and quick-to-insult players, it was nice to find two chill people to play with. | ||

Then Viper gets first blood followed by another two kills and the Riki plays way too aggressively and I pick him off twice. Then Ursa started hitting things and everyone and everything bottom lane was destroyed. From that point we snowballed hard killing Rosh uncontested twice and kept killing them. The final kills was 51-17. It was nice to actually have game go so well after, at first, seeming like it would go so terribly. | ||

Friendly atmosphere and decent picks. No Phantom lancer or Huskar. About 20 minutes in a guy on the other team DCs and his buddy insists he's coming back and just having computer issues We ended up waiting about 15 minutes. All the while chatting in all chat about old games and music and life with 9 strangers. Really nice vibes make the game infinitely better. Don't even remember who won. | ||

This. Had been playing all day with foreign (non english speaking TERRIBLE teammates) and was on a losing streak...usually in those games I would be the only one positive, or even with kills, so I was like, whatever, I'll just outcarry everyone, better player always wins right? Then that happened. | ||

Then that happened. *clears throat* ... what? no one in that dotabuff page has the same name as you do on TL' so figureing out what "That" is, is quite hard when your not. .you! so this might be redundant to tell you but we cant read your mind, you need to explain abit more than pasting an image out of context and ending your sentence with "that".. its like a comedian walking out on stage, showing the crowd a meme with confusing text on it, telling the punchline of a slightly relateable and understandable joke and then dropping the mic on the floor and exiting stage left. | ||

Wait what? When does TL name have to equal Steam name? My steam name is nothing even close to my TL name. Thats no reason to act like a dick to someone. In fact I know several people on TL that have very different names on steam and TL. | ||

There's no way of following your story, which makes your post sort of redundant. | ||

Double what? why am i dick for pointing out that you cannot tell who he is playing in that game even though i did it in a sarcastic manner? He's telling half a story that is so ambiguous that you could tell it from 2-3 different points of views, since you have to guess your way to the other half of the story.. you can guess the punchline is the Alchemist since his GPM is out of the norm but you have no idea what that means since he is providing zero context for the game he's trying to conway a story about | ||

Lol seriously? Do you lack the common sense to figure out which person I am? Learn how to spell correctly before you even try to insult someone, your jokes are not funny either. As for the "story" once again you must lack reading comprehension, as I was getting horrible non english speaking team mates so I decided to play carry instead of randoming. | ||

Because you've never seen dendi playing his pub-build on every hero. Which is kinda funny because Na'vi is your favourite team according to your signature ^^.

Don't be so aggressive, his analogy was relatively accurate and he didn't insult you in any way, next time people are confused just explain yourself without resorting to insults, neither questioning his spelling nor his capability of common sense help anybody here. And I'm sure he wasn't the only one who didn't understand what you ment with that, for example I didn't either, but even though I read every post in this thread I couldn't be arsed to actually spend the time to give your link a very detailed look, so that may be my mistake, just like him I only noticed that the Alchemist's gpm was pretty high but just like he probably did I kinda expected it to be more than that after the introduction you wrote, apparently both of us were wrong but there's still no reason for anyone of us to get upset here. As a little side-note: Thank you for everybody who posted in this thread, it's nice to see that people still have fun in that pit of hatred I love so much, I really didn't expect this thread to be succesful. Cheers. | ||
