Dude picks Faceless Void into a Windrunner, Ember, Tinker lineup and then complains that there's no farm. Like... no shit there's no farm.

another game ruined by people who don't speak english
love this game

In a weird twist, I just finished a game ruined by people who complain about people who don't speak English.

Duo queue Furion + Sniper, with my tri stack being Rubick, Jakiro, TA.
Seems fine. Squishy-ass trilane isn't ideal but as long as it isn't tri vs tri we should come out okay.
..except Furion, after picks, declares "I jungle" in addition to shouting things in spanish over mic. And his buddy Sniper goes offlane.
I offer to go offlane as Rubick instead of sniper, because offlane sniper against what's likely to be a venge + drow dual lane might suck hard. "No" he says.
So we say "Okay we trilane bot with sniper, furion solo safelane". No response.
Jakiro and I go bot, and as soon as we get there Sniper puts "???" into ally chat, then walks top. Not that bad I guess, except we're probably putting our solo safelane up against a lich.
We stay as Jakiro + Rubick offlane, partly because FUCK IT, and partly because either one of us solo would just be food. About 10 minutes in, Sniper's WAY behind Lich, can't stay in the lane solo anymore, and is complaining "Neccessito support", to which I reply "That's why we wanted to trilane bot and have furion solo", which is met with variations of each stack calling the other retarded.
I'd love it if I could feel like the words I am saying to my team didn't fall on deaf ears and if the only functional communication that can take place is telling each other how fucking bad we are at dota. Also fuck Furions who don't call jungle or mark jungle and then refuse to offlane when the draft (now) clearly demands it.
|
Honestly, Furion is not an offlane hero in pubs. Realising this has saved me an enormous amount of grief.
Unless you're playing CM, you can guarantee that your prophet afk-jungles exclusively. Most of them would feed mercilessly if you managed to talk them into going off.

My experience is that unless you're playing at 5.5k+, assume any hero that can jungle will jungle. Enigma, NP, Lifestealer, Axe, Legion... they're all gonna want to jungle. Even if they're the only offlaner, or they're the main carry and safelane is available.

Jungle LS is pretty rare even in the trench. Most people have worked out that his laning is strong, and his days of pubstomp glory are long over so most people who pick him know how he works. Axe is also about 50/50, he's pretty common in duostack cheese lanes.
However, yes; enigma, prophet, legion, ursa and lycan might as well be Chen.
It even makes sense in some cases. Below a certain MMR, a lot of those heroes are going to get a more consistent GPM from the jungle than from collecting lane CS at random.
|
Probably a good call to just consider furion a woods hero in AP. I play a good mix of CM/CD with stacks, so I'm not used to playing with people who refuse the most obviously efficient lane setup.
|
Fuck all carrys that tell you we need wards when the supports are dead.
Really just fuck team member that yells at supports with only brown boots for lack of wards. Maybe you should take your endless gold and buy a set.
|
Or, even worse, picks a carry into a lineup that already has gold-hungry heroes like NP or Tinker + a carry, and then bitches at the poor dude who's stuck supporting. If you last-pick Ursa and you've already got Invoker, Ember, Gyro and Veno, then shut the fuck up.
|
I had a game the other day where we had a lineup of LC/BH/Invoker/Mirana, and the Mirana asked me for two tangos to start, after I'd already bought wards and a courier.
People just assume that one support is enough, and that the one support with no source of income outside of assist gold means that there will never be a shortage of vision / detection / smokes / teleport scrolls. People are stupid.
|
I beleive my quote from the last games(which we won after they realized that I couldn't hold towers v 5) was "You can't farm faster than they can kill me and viper trying to defend. You need to fight the enemy team. This isn't diablo."
|
yet another goddamn game where my carry is peruvian and feeds all game
i can't even play this game anymore, they (+ any non-english speaking people) make this game way too hard to enjoy unless i'm queuing with other people.

Generally people just don't get support. Like they don't understand what it's for, and they resent it. A support, in their view, is supposed to cater to what they need, right when they need it. And there's some truth to that. But good support play is way more than just fucking babysitting.
And people don't really understand mid, either. You gank mid most of the time, not the other way around. What the fuck is a level 4 Shadow Fiend supposed to do if he goes and ganks the Lich/Clock lane you're facing bottom? Nothing.

Also if you turn on open mic you're a horrible person and I hope some sort of flesh-eating virus attacks your skin.

Seconded! No one will ever try to gank mid, but they'll yell at you for failing your lane and not ganking pre lvl 6 with your hand of midas invoker..

Hey, I would gank mid, but I can't even go check rune or place wards without being petrified that this Faceless Void will either A) Take the moment of solitude as an opportunity to feed or B) Be forced to hide under the tower and never get another CS in his life. Why? Because he picked a useless as fuck hero that guarantees he can take credit for any victory and absolve himself of guilt in any loss.
(That said mids with rune control that say to themselves "Oh hey a haste rune! That means three bottle charges. Awesome" and not "Hey a haste rune! I get to fucking kill something somewhere!" annoy me)
