I don't know if I'm playing with unemployed people, kids on holidays or skipping school or lazy uni students or whatever, they're just the worst quality games. weekday afternoons are likely dominated by middle and highschoolers so there's that Would explain my games today. Game 1- I pick Lich for 10 hero challenge (yes, I haven't finished mine. it's cursed-as you'll see) My friend picks Jakiro. Already a bad pick it seems- both supports add up to a grand total of 1 unreliable lockdown. 3 stack on our team picks bloodcyka, spiritbreaker and sniper. Great. 3 of the pubbiest heroes on my team. Fine, I go offlane with SB, hoping to make the best of a bad situation. My friend accidentally forgets to pass me a ward, and I have no vision. SB and I get ganked and die twice. Safelane, bloodcyka loses lane to a solo omniknight. Sniper dies twice to storm spirit. It soon becomes apparent that the enemy team is a 5 stack, doing coordinated ganks all over the place while our team of escapeless, clueless players get trampled over. There is nothing for me to support as SB and blood charge to their deaths every game, while storm just zips in and kills sniper. The 3 stack who picked blood, sniper and sb begin flaming me for dying early game and having no kills, ignoring the assist score. Fine, I immediately mute them so all I see is "noob lich 0-5" Candidate for worst game of my life. Game 2- Still fuming from the previous game, I pick another hero from my 10 hero challenge list, Beastmaster. Now, I'm 0-5 on Bm before this match, since every game I gank gank gank and my carry still fails to function. Basically never won with this hero before even though I can do it decently. I call dire solo offlane, my friend picks Skywrath to roam. Then a duo on my team picks Tiny-bristleback and camps on the lane I wanted. Fine, me and my friend go safelane. I completely destroy the early game, roaming and ganking as soon as I hit level 6. Eventually at 20 minutes I am 5-0-6 and have Aghs+tranquil boots. Then I realize my bristleback has vanguard. I ask him "why not get mek if you going to get vanguard?" He replies "If u so pro why dont you go tournament?" Fine, I play on. Soon after, every single fight bristleback dies. And dies first. He's the most carry-ish hero on our team since Tiny was playing that stupid blink variant while invoker was going QW. This includes a time when tiny tossed bristleback right onto sf during requiem. The enemy team starts winning fights left right center even with their horrid start. Eventually we get run over, since as beastmaster I can only do so much if my team is going to explode immediately. As the enemy realizes they're winning, they begin to say "haha" in all chat with every pick off they get, and eventually I reply with some snark: "hurrhurr so funny" Big mistake, they begin taunting and flaming me nonstop about losing, even though I was the reason they had to comeback to win. Fucking hell, it's like 10 hero challenge is cursed, beastmaster is cursed, I get double cursed and can't win even when I totally shut down multiple heroes in the early game. AND THEN get taunting bad mannered enemies on top of that? I really hate this toxic piece of shit game sometimes. At least if I play support, have the decency to pick good, strong carries for me to support. What happened to Luna, Spectre, Gyro, Morphling, or even Wraith King and PA? No, every game I get to support such useless trash tier pub heroes like bloodcyka, sniper and riki, or no carry at all. It also seems that it's always the most childish, ignorant, lowest-MMR, least English proficient person who picks these heroes. Fuck this game.
Beastmaster is a better mek carry than Bristle, personally i don't like mek on bristle because before you are a very high level (or have shivas) your mana is limited and getting a mek means you have to go back to base after every fight / gank for mana if you use the mek.
Try to solo-offlane beast master on dire, you can stack the ancients from the top by throwing your axes at around :52-0:54. Assuming your MMR isn't very high they will usually not block your ancients, and if they let you get 2x 4-5 stacks you will have a huge impact in the midgame. With the money you can get either necro 3 and constanly rat doto down a lane or you can go for arcanes + mek + blink basically taking a semi-support role and just run around stun people or even go for carry items (would only recommend getting carry stuff if below 3k).

teammate 1: HEY DOOM STOP FEEDING
teammate doom:ok I feed now
Now, this is a story all about how
My game got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the carry of a radiant team without buildings

Yeah, thinking back, I should have gotten it. My mmr is actually in the v.high range lol, and I wanted to solo offlane dire (as i said in my post) but that useless duo just went to the offlane immediately. Well I agree the mek part was my fault.....I just wanted to have aghs for better ganking in the midgame.

I find the best games to be 7-9am, especially on weekends. 90% of people speak English and are generally friendly and communicative.
The later into the day it gets, the more trolls and ragers stagger out of bed and begin to shit up games. Early evening becomes stack primetime. Once it gets past 11pm, the only English spoken comes from 16-year-olds taking their sexual frustration out on their team.

How someone can give up and farm woods when he has luffy as profile picture? The sad thing is that he was BH and SK completed his dagger and we had a few decent fights just afterwards and collected some big killing sprees gold, it was definitely possible to win with track gold.

Can we please get it so that if you pause before everyone has picked in all pick that you lose 3 gold a second or something?
The gold loss was added for a reason and I'm sick of no one picking until 00:00 T_T

quite even game, we are loosing in kills, but winning in towers... OD disconnects, we loose top racks..., i'm playing mirana support, i start switching to carry while using moonlight to make BS gank as much as possible... we tie the game, we start having more kills than radiant... then nyx disconnects when it was clear that we were goin to win the match... we STILL keep the advantage till a bad fight, when eventually they throne us...
the worse thing? i was playing with a 4-stack

fucking dodgers
been in queue 13min now. Soloqueue so fun guys

This is pure next level from Valve.
I had to reconnect because of some lag issues. Paused the game and left the game.
I restart the game, no network.
Alright, let's restart it again.
"An update is available for Dota 2..."
IT TAKES 10 MINUTES TO FUCKING UPDATE THE GAME
I COME BACK ABANDON
The game continues, we manage to lose because we had an alch with shadow blade, mjolnir, abyssal, AC. Against lion and nyx, I think BKB is useless. I think. Not sure however...
fuck these throws we had a good early game. I also got a double kill as wind offlane.
The best part? Not even in LPQ.
Still fuck you Valve for this update timing.

my mid Luna went 1-4-4-2...and completely decimated the game. What the fuck does that say about my mmr. Also Phase->HotD->Butterfly->Butterfly.

Well, people obviously dodge when theyre up against the might rocketbear + a-godalurr on the same team.
Edit: On that Luna build though, it's the shit if you can actually pull it off, easily a billion gpm, although your Luna was missing a MoM.

Got a 5 stack to go ap, trying to have some fun.
The opponent picks zeus, AA, furion, spectre and silencer. Even with bkbs, they 1 shot everyone. They are having fun but it was one sided.

Ok, it's not bad enough that QoP is utterly fucking useless and I got her for my compendium challenge, but it's fucking worse when I get counter picked every game by Blood or OD and end games at 35-40 minutes without having 1 major item built. OH AND THANK YOU VALVE FOR MY 3RD FUCKING PUGNA BRACER IN A ROW FROM SOME ROKXIS PLAYER I WILL NEVER FUCKING WATCH

7 game lose streak, win 2 games 10 game lose streak. Halleluljah, I must be terrible.

Ok, here's the love hate relationship I have with Wisp.
Being: I hate him, and he loves me. For my initial 10 hero compendium challenge, I got Wisp in the pool. Tried to re-roll him, got Wisp AGAIN. After 8 or so games, I finally got a win with the guy...
Guess who my next daily hero is.

fuck this shitty game i offer 4 pages of shit and all i get in return is a fucking piddling 25 compendium points like what the fuck aegis

Okay, so my friend is playing Venomancer and i'm playing Riki.
Immediately the TA instalocks bot after being repeatedly asked to go top, so me and veno had to go top lane (. Then, the Ursa decides to go top AFTER ME AND VENO BOTH GO TOP. After he doesn't communicate, veno had to go middle while I was offlaning with ursa. After he fed, he went to jungle. He tries to roshan and gets killed by roshan....
While all of this is going on, Tidehunter and Templar are feeding bottom lane and they immediately start trying to roam and gank....
We eventually end up with the Legion Commander on the other team being fed, and their Vengeful spirit (who keeps calling me a homosexual in Portuguese) building a Mask of Madness first and wrecking with it. I ended up 9/7/11 but surprisingly, at the end of the game Templar Assassin FINALLY communicates after being silent to comment to the enemy team "gg noob riki". Templar is 1/6 -_-. Venomancer had to go carry to make up for the shitty ursa and templar, so not leaving me as the only decent carry.
To top off the shit cherry, Venomancer gets dueled at the entrance to the fountain by the legion while Tidehunter is right there. Even after calling for help, WHILE TIDEHUNTER HAS RAVAGE AND ANCHOR, he still lets the veno get killed and then insults veno for 'being mad'.
I am so fucking done with pubs.

Placed with a 4 stack in sd. I'm given 3 cores, say this at start. 3 of the other 4 pick carries, then ask why I pick furion instead of a support /wrists. Proceed to do retarded lanes, with tide+luna bot, sand king solo mid, void solo top while I jungle. My suggestion of luna mid, void+sk top, tide solo bot didn't go over well. All 3 lanes proceed to feed and we're 0-6 by like 4 minutes. It gets worse from there, mostly special note goes to luna who manages somehow to die when 1v1ing a spec at like level 8 (no creeps, eclipse was up and used) then talks shit about the one-for-one trade being worth it. Every time one of us dies (very frequent) the enemy then talks shit back.
Sigh.
EDIT: Next game, some guy instalocks captain in cd and drafts us ds, tide, razor, slardar and necrolyte. Tempted to just abandon right here and now.
EDIT 2: So, I picked necrolyte, went offlane vs tiny and ogre magi, got 3 kills in the first 10 minutes including fb. That didn't matter of course, because razor fed their shadow fiend mid, while ds and slardar fed their sven and dazzle. Slardar eventually abandoned at 20 minutes after going 0-6-1, including shit like solo diving their t2 against 4 enemies, 3 of whom had stuns.

why do pub teams not want to end games against tinker/drow when we have a huge item/level advantage and can instagib them
