Opponents pick Sand King, Alchemist, WK, Invoker and CK. We take 0 tower damage and win in 19 min. CK tried to support a bit but the rest just decided they were cores, so after killing the WK twice before his jungle midas and everybody else a ton we just walked into their base and finished.
The other game that was good was yesterday for the opposite reason, a won game we almost threw. We were 5k NW ahead of a Meepo team at min 20 and got an early tier 3. Then we stopped playing together and it turned into a Lycan needs no armor game. Where he and me on Treant split push them since the rest of the team refused to group up. Ending with a base race where Lycan travels to their base and our ancient has 2k hp up.
Though maybe that game would have been easier if Lycan did not insist on pushing that hard when the rest of the team didn't want to.
We did offlane axe + treant (two great dots) against SD + Luna with a roaming in SB. I gave up first blood to a charge in with dust. But then we hit our levels and SD lost 50% hp from just showing on lane. He still tried to help so he died a few times. Luna out of lane by level 4 since she lost too much hp to ferry in enough regen and we dove her under tower.
Creeps being healed while they tank tower can tank for a LONG time.
I usually feel happy when I can win multiple lanes as pos 4 and the other members of the team play their roles properly.
Had such a NS game today. I had 4 deaths & it was the most on our team. Mid ember was always ready at the right nick of time every time I visited mid. Pos 5 lion ended with zero deaths in spite of valuing wards to items that boost him. My party Kunkka was dominating as always finishing with 7-1-7. 3 of their heroes ended with zero kills. Our carry MK also seemed to be pretty good though I hardly got to see him before teamfights as he and lion dominated safelane so much I didn't have to go even once.
Icing on the cake, no one dragged the game; we stomped the lanes, carried the momentum into teamfights and took their throne ~ 25 minutes. Good game overall. :-D
I guess the nice thing about compendium season is it gives me an excuse to stop grinding uselessly in ranked and start doing some fun stuff in unranked with Cavern Crawl. We're going spelunking, boys.
I finally convinced myself to use headphones+mic. My Dota experience has just increased so much in quality both in gaming and chat sides. I think I had zero teammates yelling/complaining etc in the last 30ish games, and my commends received have more than doubled
Terrorblade with arcane rune and level 25 is so funny, losing hp is good for you since your ulti is your highest dmg. Stomped that fight (then lost game anyhow).
Bumping because my friend stack and I are on a bit of a roll. Somehow, I got pressed into playing carry, but it does let me just troll my opponents with mid Dazzle or the new Huskar. Been trying some other stuff too. Visage has a surprisingly high win rate on Dotabuff right now so I picked him mid against a Zeus and trashed him just by virtue of maxing Cloak first. My prediction thing on Dota Plus is up to 9 wins now.
The feel when you pick Offlane nightstalker and the opponent proceeds to pick Storm and Weaver and then you don't even have to do anything anyway because your Lifestealer had such a good game.
