captains who instalock captain then pick their own mid last pick and then instalock the mid deserve to get banned from cm queue

especially when the hero is shadow fiend because "we need to win" and then you dont get a fucking bottle and you go shadowblade and suicide with it and throw the game after i manage to get 2 sets of rax as rhasta because you have no idea what to do on shadowfiend or as a captain

5 games of LPQ cause my pc crashed and I only reconnected in 6 mins and something, my premade dude pause and a guy from my team kept unpausing. I ended the game with more Levels and gold than that guy and he was a void solo while i was a lich support, lol

Shout out to the void who went brown boots into rapier and died immediately, feeding a rapier to the enemy TA. I really felt like losing 25 mmr that game.

Why hasn't it been made legal to round up smurfs and put a bullet through each of their heads yet?
I have 1600 hours played in Dota and my very latest game had at least 4 people with less than 50 games played (check thru steam and dotabuff)

alright, so I lost mid - but I wasn't the one who threw, you guys did. So shut the fuck up and stop blaming the loss 100% on me, you had just as much to do with the loss as I did.

Also laughable was the guy that expected me to save him when he went in 1vs5

3/11 viper, 1/15 shaman and 4/18 pugna in my team, and they are also a stack. I've played 7 games and won 1 out of the past 2 days?

I'm just...done. The next time I pick first and then my team picks 4 more cores and expect me to support, I'm just going to post stuff from russian blogs and afk farm.

2-stacks with too large difference in MMR shouldn't be allowed to go ranked. Had two guys going sf and pugna, being completely useless all game and flaming our team who actually played well. Turns out one of them had 4k and the other had 3.2k. Pugna was the one with 3.2k, didn't buy courier nor upgrade it, didn't buy a single ward, and went 0-18-6. Not even a pro player would win matches with teammates like these, I'm pretty sure of it. Well maybe if I would know they were utter trash before the game started, so I can pick something that can create space rather than letting fucking trash players do it.

And my second game, our Razor ragequits after two deaths. Fuck this shit. I guess it's time to pick Lycan for free mmr again. This shit community tells me to play dirty so I will.

I wish you could redo your placement matches. Being stuck at 3k is just all kinds of horrible.

I can really see why Merlini hates on Vanguard so much.
It truly is a game-losing item and my stomach immediately sinks when someone picks it up.

"but i got a 6min vanguard!" some noob Axe in my last game told me. Yeah good luck doing anything with that with no boots and no blink. That 6min vanguard totally won the game ... for the other team, as he started 0-8.

They need to buff the shit out of it or just remove it from the game. The item is only viable in maybe like 1% of situations and then only 1% of the player base is smart enough to recognize when that situation is. Seriously, Dota 2 would be a better game without this piece of shit. The fact that it remains in the "recommended items" menu for multiple heroes just means games will continue to be ruined by ignorant schmucks thinking they are buying the right thing.

I just have a general rant because things take forever in terms of DotA Ranking. I have probably an 70-80% win rate on Phoenix if I have a solo offlane and a team that buys courier+wards (or even one of the two) and same with Tidehunter, but between people disconnecting and those criteria not being met I'm only on like a 60% win rate (which I guess isn't too bad). Still it means it's like 20-40 hours playing to grind my rating up every 100 points. Makes it such a slog to get anywhere rating wise.

sure my 12 game winning streak ends with a jungling maiden and a last pick random od that was feeding against a solo offlane windrunner. I'm sorry for winning valve won't happen again.

At 12 minutes after every lane lost we have a glorious lvl 6 - 2 1 3 0 maiden with a euls "iam ready to gank now".

i agree with this, i wish valve would do the same thing as other games. In starcraft 2 if you win a lot you get harder opponents if you lose a lot you get easier opponents. I usually was mid/high master and if i did well i would play against grand masters if i did poorly i was playing against low master occasionally even diamonds. But in dota it seems that you almost always play against players that are +/- 100 rating of you, the only exceptions in dota are if you play with or against a stack or are at the very top or very bottom.

I haven't improved at dota in months. 4k mmr. It has always been my dream to become a pro gamer, or at least good enough to coach people on the side.

People were sad for fear when he lost his dream and got benched for TI - they thought he might even get depressed when it looked like he might not be able to achieve his dreams.

That is what I feel every day.

I feel like a cripple, with no arms and legs. What good is my body anyways, if I can't use it to achieve what I want.

Today I felt like I was going to play the best that I have in months. I exercised for like 2 hours and felt amazing.
But then I just saw my hands doing the same old habits that I've always done, the same thoughts that I've always thought. Even if my mental capacity is high I just can't change.

I think it may be time to uninstall dota. I can't handle being bad. It makes me depressed every single day. I tried every day for years to become good at video games, and all that happens is failure.

At 22 years old, if I'm not improving now I'l probably just get worse. It is time I find a new hobby -- one that hopefully I can make a living off of.

I don't know how to enjoy any other skill related activity, so this is going to be a hard month. Maybe I should stop browsing reddit too.

I played a game as beastmaster going necro3 for pushing. Realised too late that i've changed my cycle units in control group button away. Had to go sc2 micro style to mana burn/use boar/ fly hawks/ control main hero.

Do not be like me -_-'
