Fast forward one month, playing with a Tinker that has the worst item choice, doesn't understand farm distribution, and does NOTHING but die and kill steal with rocket. WHY. I'm taking a break from Tinker so I don't get lumped in with the "TI Tinker" group. I want to play one of my mains again... Does anyone have any other heroes that are a pure pleasure to play? I need others to practice in the Tinker downtime. | ||

too good to be true... something bad had to happen: when creeps safe lane arrive to the tier 1 tower i discover that i'm alone (solo support aa). axe and ursa are both in jungle -.- after they've fed 2 deaths to a hasted skywrath mage + cm, axe comes to lane. somehow sky manage to kill sniper and riki (mid and offlane) once in the next minute, then his play earlygame will be enter in our jungle every 30-40 sec and gank ursa that doesn't want to exit from there... 2-12 at 8 min, sky is something like liv 12 when we are barely 6, and ursa says that that his hero it's impossible to lane, if he can't jungle, he'll stay in fountain. he's 0\6\0 so all the team asks him to stay in fountain, where he'll badmanner all the team all the game long, and takes the afk abbandon. Then, seeing that we are getting back momentum, he starts playing and feeding again, in a game that we managed to tie in 30 crazy minutes, to end with a splendid 0\14\1... why, oh why -.- | ||

Ooh, I know this one. It's called a 'unannounced role switch', and how it works is you're now the support regardless of hero suitability or farm dependency. You were a really bad support and it's your fault the lane lost. I get that maybe one game in four where I didn't pick a dedicated support to begin with. The best response seems to be to roll with it, do some pulls and zone out the offlaner. | ||

I second Ember, that hero is beyond broken IMO. You just have to forgo the (imo again) awful Phase->Battlefury build which gives almost nothing to the hero. Personally I like going BoTs -> Drums (depends on game) ->Skadi, only skilling Sleight of fists once I'm 3-0-4-1. RTZ usually goes Vanguard after Phase and it works pretty well for him. The hero is insane in how mobile he is while dishing out damage. | ||

His strength lies lategame in making Nighttime a much stronger time for your team, thanks to reduced enemy vision + Aghs giving him a shitload of vision during night. | ||

Went from 3.6k to 3.2 in a matter of a few days. What hurt the most about this is that I can't really point at a specific reason. Yeah, I had a couple of 2 mids, griefers, feeders, but mostly it was normal games where teammates actually communicated (in English even), but I played super well coordinated teams with incredibly good (for my level) individual players. And while that losing streak started to affect me at some point, I feel like I didn't have a game that I just completely threw by myself. Ofc I had bad games, but I've had much worse in the past. Also, I just can't win with Viper. She's one of my favourite heroes for the sheer strength of her 1v1, but I've had the weirdest games with her. I just looked it up on dotabuff. Of the last 20 games with her, I've lost 12. I had a negative (and only barely so) KDA in only ONE game. In the other games I mostly completely dominated the game (losing with 25-8-19 has to be some kind of record). Playing that game was sooo frustrating. I easily dominated my lane. Whenever I rotated to another lane, I set up kills and took objectives. However, I could only be at one location at a time. Wherever I was not at the time, my teammates were just throwing themselves at the opponent. And that's the story of every single of my Viper games. I need to stop playing her. | ||

But the WORST part is our Axe arguing with me that rushing a heart (to be tankier) is a smart idea when I'm begging him to just get dagger so we can gank them to hell ( I was Slardar) before they all come online. Of course midgame shows up, we get a few kills but it's too late as Axe's heart and radiance get cleaved in two by WK and Storm Spirit not giving a fuck. | ||

Slowly getting into VHS bracket (at least most of my enemys are, so either they are going down or its me that gets up). But i guess i random and fool around way too much. But somehow i get the feeling that the games i have in the last time are almost all stomps in one way. Either to stomp or getting stomped really hard. Not much games in between. Have a great day guys!  | ||

The Brew and Void are pretty bad and we had Puck in offlane vs WK and PA mid vs Storm because PA kept crying. Both proceed to get ganked multiple times early. How does Puck lose lane to WK 1v1? Who knows.

Sometimes I get really angry at people for dumb dumb dumb item choices (Bloodstone OD, just Bloodstone in general on a support hero, Tinker who didn't get Soulring/Blink etc) but you can't change their thought. You just can't, they're too stuck up about it. | ||
