played ck, lane was terrible (with lion vs ud+dk), guys were nice. Made some huge mistakes, guys were still nice. Got some farm and proceeded to one-shot-kill everyone. Never noticed ck is so much fun. Didn't remember ck is able to just pound down dk in like 2 seconds. The hero is brutal when ahead and not cced. I just murdered myself through half of their lineup in most fights.

The opponents pick bane, veno, zeus, NP, mmh ok fine, last pick drow, they 5 manned at min 7, took rax with level 4 supports 3 minutes later xD We had no way to deal with the deathball, megas and throne down 3 minutes later.

As a mostly support player, I always get kind of annoyed when other supports are like, "commend support." Like, bro, I've been there, I'll commend you when I play a game where you deserve it.

Well, this was that game.

My supports were:

The highest MMR player on the team who, instead of insisting on mid, first-picked Crystal Maiden, went max aura, and made sure I had mana for infinite Shukuchi's all game.
A lich who got first blood, came top to deny for my lane, and then went on to land some godly Chain Frost's, ending the game 23-1-31, with 530 GPM. On a Lich.

As a direct result of their excellent play, I got huge and killed everyone. Well, everyone who hadn't already been killed by Lich.

You know what else I did? I commended my goddamn supports.

*edit* Oh yeah, also this ends a long losing streak that's been making me not want to play Dota so much lately.

Contesting Rosh as Dire coming from the north as Phoenix. I Sun Ray the pit then use Icarus Dive to dodge a point blank Shackleshot while landing on the south side of the pit wall where I supernova in an uncontest-able position. Deal almost 50% of the damage for the teamfight, wipe the enemy 5-0 for 8k gold 11k XP swing + our slark steals Rosh kill & aegis. Felt soo good.

A little over two years ago, when I was just starting to play Dota, I made my first post in this thread:

On May 02 2014 09:55 ASoo wrote:
AP game, and I'm pretty noobish, so low MMR.

I pick Venge, and lane with a Gyro. We're up against a Batrider, and Gyro feeds first blood to him after eating too many napalm stacks, so he gets a fast blink. After that, he goes for a blink+lasso gank on Gyro basically every time lasso comes off cooldown. I do my support duty and swap him every time that happens, but I die a lot when I do.

Anyway, Gyro doesn't die again for the rest of the like 40-minute game, gets insanely fat, and carries us to victory. I'm like 1-12-12 or so and have like no items after dying on swaps so much. So our solo mid Pudge (who, to be fair, had been playing pretty well, but still, fuck you Pudge-picker) says, "nice comeback gyro, thought we were screwed when venge fed so much."

What I expected to happen was for Gyro to be like "haha thanks" or some banal shit like that. Instead, he's like:

"dude"

"venge wasn't feeding"

"he was saving my ass"

"every death on that kda"

"is one that isnt on mine"

"which is why im farmed as fuck"

"and carrying your ass"

"learn how other heroes fucking work"

"before you flame"

"dumbass"

...and then I checked my profile after the game and had a new "friendly."

The feels <3 .

And, you know? Sometimes you just gotta go back to your roots. Two years, and about 1000 MMR later:

Sometimes, it's a good day to trust your cores. And some of those days, they repay you by thanking you for the saves, commending, and carrying your ass through mega-stressful, super-hard, hour-long, but hella fun games.

*pours one out for all the fallen solo-support Vengeful Spirits out there*

Just managed to squeeze out a win in a game we were down two rax because my mkb first hit minibashed a tping tinker. Felt good but at the same time I feel for the other team cause that tinker was almost out of there.

Such a nice, yet tense game!
We keep getting out pushed by there cores (especially their aghs furion...), and all hope seemed lost, since we couldn't secure objectives after the kills we took. But the team managed top keep calm, we never blamed anyone, and in the end, after 2 convincingly won team fights, we managed to end the game, despite my ults (as aa) being 90% off the mark.
It's incredible how much a good mentality in the team impacts the quality of play!

The most satisfying thing in DotA must be Culling Blade someone. That sound effect is like "when you culling blade just right". I'm a simple man.

Just won an 86-minute, 4v5 Ember game against megas with a naked throne. Hardest MMR of my life. Despite (or perhaps because of?) his pretty solid play, my Invoker was strangely flamey (broken English text about..... I'm not sure what exactly, just some vague shit about how I'm a noob at times when it made zero sense to be flaming me), but with my buddy on Tide and our friendly Mirana, we managed to eventually pull out a win. Feels really fucking good, man. What a game Dota is.

Dual laning with a Slark as KOTL, he kept missing last hits as he's typing to tell me not blast and to stack and pull the lane. I'm like, sure, I was just zoning them out so you can farm, but sure I'll hit the next pull after I stack the small camp as they can contest the big one. I do, and then he pings for 5 straight seconds and STILL tells me to pull and that I suck DURING the pull as he misses more CS. I just say, fuck it, I'm going to make it a trilane top since they've fed 4 times anyways. Fuck you, and I flame away. Then he feeds to Clinkz hardcore. Now sure, my ganks and mana helped the Axe and Necro turn things around so they could make some space, but the Slark really plays his ass off after about the 15 min mark and outcarries their Sven/Clinkz/Gyro tricore. He flames a little late, but thankfully he didn't tilt from my rage. Thanks random hothead Slark.

Also, maybe buy the Gem earlier? 2600 gold on sentries lol

Taking a break from ranked, practicing offlane, and working on quests for battlepass. So less stressful and no 13 year old whiny cry babies yet.

After a 7 loss streak including 1 leaver, 2 random pick techie, 2 massive tilters when we had the lead and a draft loss 2x melee supports + melee carry against axe. Finally got a good game

I'm offlane morph against spectre + AA, grabbing xp and a bit of farm, mid DK is doing well, BH helping here & there but their dual offlane centaur riki deestroys our lich slak safelane. However, the game has something going very well for us : it's going full retard and this scenario vastly favour the team with track gold. Basicly, we keep taking terrible fights nonstops but somewhat the track gold is starting to stack and haunt CD is just too long to repel all our assaults. Also finally got a legit agha game on morph, the hybrid with full strength on a 6 slotted DK is super strong. The last fight went like this for spectre : DK stuns her, then adaptive strike then my own dragon tail. Our lich was super tilted but kept being mannered so it added this little white clown aspect as he was the only one trying really hard and we were all going yolo xD

The guy is bragging after our carry fed him so much, "commend me" etc He was an unkillable BB the whole game until the last 5 minutes, they have megas, he got too cocky, dies back, we throne that felt so good, he did not say a word after his dieback.

4 games in a row with great teammates that communicate (in English too!) and dont tilt one bit. Being the higher mmr in all the teams via party que I just told them to relax and I'll carry you to victory. Sure enough it paid off and +111 party mmr in just under 1hr30min!

After a frustrating loss, had a good win. Entire team played well, I pulled out Keeper of the Light, took plenty of mana leak early and cackled evilly as timbersaw stunned himself from chaining and losing all his mana. PA blinked, stunned herself form losing all her mana. As riki blinked on my carry, and stunned himself as he lost all his mana.

It was a good game.

I've been winning a lot recently, I'm slowly rising above 2000 mmr and I feel that I play probably the best dota since I started over two years ago. Life is good

Playing with 4.5k friend so we are in very high skill and I wreck face with Veno! Feels amazing to not only pull my weight but kick major ass at a bracket so far above my own. My friend even rubbed it in to the enemy team that they were getting rekt by a 2k veno and they all were rather surprised.
