The amount of toxic teammates is pretty low overall for me lately. Teammates just trying to play as good as they can and not just trying to blame anyone who makes a mistake all the time are a gift from god.
Think that was me, ha. Was it ranked, if so what MMR? I recently played with a bomb-ass Ogre who just destroyed early game with me a few days ago.
Played an unranked game today, cuz I wanted to get in on the PA goodie bags. Sure enough, somebody on the other team first-picks PA. The contract goes to...our Meepo! "This looks bad," I think.
But the game ends up being fun and reasonably close. Our Meepo is actually good. We deny the contract around 20 minutes, and win around 40. I support well in lane with Sniper and get him three kills, and he compliments me for it. And when the game ends, PA says in all chat:
"gogo arcana"
"you can do it guys!"
We ended up getting the Equine Emissary set for LC. Not quite an arcana, but good stuff, and I appreciate the thought from PA!

sad that this thread isn't frequented too much. i'll bring it back.
that feel when you manage to outlast a naga + nature's prophet rat lineup. it was an hour long game but we managed to take it against a nature's who was his most played and a frequent naga player with a high win rate.
feels good when you look at their dotabuffs and you realize you beat them on their best heroes.
Gotten the chance to play core Visage, Dazzle, and Tree in the past 2 days without being harassed too much by teammates. Got 6 slotted on each hero, brings back so many good memories from Dota 1 lol..
This game. This is how Dota should be played. Two supports, space creators, and a whole lot of killing. Get the lead, and then strangle the life out of the enemy as they watch in horror as they can't even kill a shadow demon in the late game. Coincidentally also the game that broke the 4k barrier for me.
GGs to that team. Commended everyone.
15 kills on Spectre. Probably the saddest player ever to load up Dota.

Dude core Visage is legit as hell. Snowball from easy kills and get Aghs AC and Daedulus/Rapier.
Anyways was playing Crystal Dagon and due.to PA getting shat on due to contract we lost but our Gyro at the end of the game reminded.everyone we could improve and listed things in the game we should improve upon (including himself) when he got to me he just said WP and keep being baller and that I carried the team and PA commended me . Not even my best Crystal Dagon game. Beyond Godlike 2v5 was my best.

I had a game like that the other day where you just feel like... THIS is how DOTA is meant to be played. the teamwork was next level.
this moment was from the game I'm talking about...easily one of the highlights of my dota experience. every time I used sleep, kunkka hit his boat. I just wish they had mic's because I would have been able to turn off sleep in time for the LSA + torrent.
it was still a triple kill and I still had the biggest shit eating grin on my face and chills from it (I'm the naga)
So I'm talking with my team about shit that we need to take into account every single game. We watch a replay of us failing with like 14 out of the 16 things I pointed out. My team is shrugging it off their egos and are all like "w/e just fkin play" and then we proceed to get rekt. I then point out every single mistake again, we have a smoke break, and then we played amazing DotA. Inconsistency or progress, who knows... But it looked as sexy as DotA ever will be.
Played one of the biggest comeback games ever last night. Early we were down 0-8 and then 10-30, with our safe lane kunkka/phx repeatedly feeding kills to undying/spirit breaker, and the rest of the team getting caught out here and there. Our sniper was ready to call GG but our tide made encouraging noises about how he has come back from worse. Sure enough, 20-30 minutes later of farming safely and avoiding all but the easiest fights, sniper and I have mkb, PA melts, and double ravage saves the day.
Big ups to tide for staying positive and to sniper for playing it out instead of just afking in fountain.
Ogre disconnected and got an abandon due to IP breaking down. Our Zeus was calling gg since draft. But we didn't listen to him, our Medusa at 17 minutes has MoM, phase, aquilla and 3k and asks what he should by. I recommend Skadi into butterfly. He listens to me, and goes on a killing spree since nothing can hurt him with Omni repellling him. And we after some tense moments take a win.
What makes it nicer was that the Medusa was 4.7k mmr, a full 1000 more then me, and he was willing to listen to what team thought we needed. :D
Happened a long time ago, but we had a bad teamfight and I (Rubick) was backing off with Tusk. They dived our T2 so I forcestaffd Tusk to safety. I almost reached it as well but got slowed by something. Tusk noticed that turned around and snowballed into the enemy. We both got out. Was a complete stranger as well, I don't even think he said hi in chat.
Fantastic comeback game last night after being down 15-0 or so against a team of five carries (as Venge, I was the only support on my team as well). The Balanar on our team started making key pickoffs and our Invoker whilst he couldn't manage a kill most of the game, also kept managing to save our Medusa. I'm so relieved we didn't give up, and as groups of 2-3, would find ways to split push, pick off towers and draw enough of the enemy away to keep the Medusa farming.
Victory achieved in 50 minutes. Thank you for not giving up, folks.
i fed like 7 deaths in 20min as lesh. I proceed to calmdown and relax, changed the yolo style to lets farm the jungle and push the lanes while the lifestealer, storm and qop were ganking
we basically turn a game that everyone thought would be lost also, some rat dota
Finding the sexy picks and strats that cater to your team and their ability to do stuff feels so damn good. Shit went downhill from there when trying to change too much at once but damn, that was some sexy DotA.
