Very active and getting more active. There's usually about 30 people in chat (afterwork hours in EU) and one IH going on almost constantly. The group itself has almost 200 members.

I don't see how the steam group chat is any better that the standard ingame chat channel. It is not convenient for me, never going to use it.

CK'd, furion'd, invoker'd, AA'd. I forget the last one.

I was genuinely surprised we were suddenly winning team fights even against your ravage. Was a good game.

I strongly suspected it was rubick but couldn't remember which team he was on.

If you don't feel confident, just ask - ask what to do, what to get, where to do and almost as (maybe more) important, if you don't get it - why. Try to use voice chat, because it's easier just to talk through your thought process whilst playing than typing. If I have to type out an explanation, it'll probably be along the lines of "becuase I said so", if I can say it - you'll get the full reasoning.

Only played a couple recently, but they were decent games, certainly much better than I was expecting for an ih with a random pile of people.

I'd say that if you can manage to last hit, carry is probably the easier of the roles. Your team should be keeping you safe, and you get fat enough that you can just a-move for victory, hopefully, at least with tanky carries.

Just make sure you have some communication on your team - understand who you're trying to focus down, what the next aim is, whatever. If nobody's saying anything, just ask - quite possible that they're not thinking enough either. Certainly was the case with a game yesterday. Had a game where we needed to win in 25-30. Got early lead, and then frittered it away. We should have got a gem, agressively counter warded, and then bossmoded it into the base. Instead we wanked about failing to get mid game ganks, got outfarmed and then got CK'd and furion'd. All because we weren't focusing enough on the plan - if even a new palyer had gone "so what we doing now guys", it could have spurred the thought process, rather than just "WHEEEE NIGHTSTALKER IS FAST WHEEEEE"

tl;dr: talk to people, use voice, ask questions and you're already on your way to contributing, no matter your skill level.

You totally ran us over early game, I even asked in team chat if there was any comeback potential in the game and most went "probably not, but eh let's play it til the end". I think this shows to why people shouldn't give up as easily as they tend to. Be it some lucky team fights tipping the scale or just complacency from a dominating team, there's alot of things that can happen to turn a game around.
I was 0-10 AA so my spirits were pretty low, but the team kept fighting and that kept me trying to do my best even when underlevelled and feeding like a madman.

SO KIDS, STAY IN GAME AND STAY POSITIVE. Also don't do drugs and shoot people.

Are the passwords always "tlih"? Sometimes I see a lobby and sometimes I don't when people are playing.
