Last-picking Phantom Lancer when we really needed a lane support? Questionable, but ok.
Calling for help when you can't stand solo against a Spirit Breaker/Venomancer dual Lane? Ok.
Enigma is busy helping the safelane? Fine.
Can't afford to chip in for obs wards because you're desperately trying to match farm with a snowballing Spirit Breaker? Ok.
Need sentry wards to deal with Bounty Hunter and shadow blades? Ok.

Calling me a retard for playing support Legion Commander? I wasn't the one who made that decision, you idiots were.

Fuck my friends who are liek herp derp Viper takes no skill which means apparently he is unviable in Ranked. WHAT THE FUCK??????? Just because he can stomp pubs like Riki and Bloodcyka doesn't mean he is as easy to counter as them, he destroys the likes of Huskar Ursa Faceless etc (which my one friend complains about is bullshit Void) and is an insanely good laner. Just because he doesn't take some cute tricks (herp derp lich ulti so much skill) doesn't mean he is no skill.

This whole "Viper aint viable in ranked" started from a ranked match where we were going to do our typical Viper ES/CM combo. It relies specifically on a support with a stun. Chooses fucking lich because he wants to get a "sick lich ulti". WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!! I was like ok I will make it work and still lane with him. We lane vs Weaver and Tide, you know what is good agaisnt weaver, STUNS. Needless to say the lane fell apart as I didnt snowball and our team fed them hard.My friends blame em and I say "You choose fucking lich when we needed a stun" and they are like "You shoulda headed mid." WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT BULLSHIT. I say, "I trusted you could make it work " tehy say "You shoulda went mid".......................................................... At the end of the match they spam voicechat in indian accents "Report Viper" "Report Legion Commander"....... I was arguing so loud it gave me a damned headache. And then the Ursa on their team "You deserve it you play Viper." Go shove a flaming stick up your ass you play Ursa, just sit in the fucking jungle and kill rosh before killing noobs like my friends and get fed.

How do you get above 4k and still not understand that it's dota 101 to carry a tp at all times?

Not ONE ranked match without either a Tinker, Doom, Razor, Void with a fucking roaming Bane, Skywrath, Mirana cancer duo. 4500 MMR btw.

Why even play the game right now.

Is this QQ enough?

It's ranked. People tryhard, go unranked with least played mode or any other mode if you want a change of heroes

love it when my sandking proclaims that hes gonna 'jungle' and then his idea of jungling turns out to be single pulling hte small camp and sandstorming it repeatedly. never stacking it or doing anything other than that. therefore he fucks up the safelane for me and the carry and he also never shows his face once to burrowstrike or do anything of note. in playing so inefficiently he ensures that he gets a blink dagger right before hte game ends.
at the same time tusk plays much too far from tower on the offlane, hits 0-3-0 in no time, proceeds to flame middle, supports, essentially whoever he feels deserves the vitriol upon dying.
some games are just unsalvageable i guess

I think I'm going to take an extended break from the game again. I find no joy playing anymore

I try to nicely ask for things initially then... the probability of me turning into a keyboard warrior is too high.

Least played mode is such garbage. You should only be allowed to choose from like 5 heroes, not 70.

don't ask for stuff, you're not gonna get anything from random pub retards, just mute everyone and destroy the enemy team..

Had a game where my mid Tinker went 25-2-12 and crushed the other team. Let's ignore everything else about the match, looking at the dotabuff now, Tinker got his first rearm at level 9 (even though he got a minute 8:30 bots), and his SECOND rearm level at level 23.

It's stuff like this that makes me wonder what the fuck I'm playing.

And for the frustrated mid players here - at 9 minutes into the game (right after he got BoTs), everyone else on the team shouted in all chat "OMG NOOB TINKER, NO GANK. FUCKIng RETARD REPORT"

25-2-12 Tinker. He did 38k damage, which is actually 7 times more damage than what his biggest flamer did.

I've been getting really bored of this game and I'm strongly considering uninstalling. I just wish I could play with people who live in North America (that speak fluent English). It's really frustrating when you're the only person on your team who speaks English. Even with English selected and NA only selected. I tend to lose those games more often than not.

How is Earthshaker a core? just because you can run a critshaker doesn't mean that the hero is usually a core now.

As for the Jungling CMers - I'm wondering, do those CMs put more than 1 point into Frostbite?

ES isn't a core but he's a terrible solo support cuz he realllly wants a mana item (soul ring or arcanes) and blink dagger to be effective.

CM in the jungle should only put 1 pt in frostbite since it does the exact same thing to creeps at all levels.

i think 95% of players in 3.2 K mmr have never seen pro game and use built in default dota builds. How can people be this clueless. Magic wand first or headdress first...cmon...Even singsing had a guy at 6k who want magic wand first. What is this. Some guy wanted me to pick rubick so he could pick up a guy onto a cliff and failed at that.
Fuck the ranked lol.

I don't think compensating for high rating by putting a together a team whose 5 players' ratings have great variance against a team of 5 players with average ratings inbetween is optimal at all yet Valve keeps doing it. I have 1600 hours played and 900 games yet a few days ago a completely newbie Bloodseeker was put into my team. He hadn't even setup his Steam profile, fed 3 kills in the laning phase to a BH+Disruptor lane (how do you even do that?) and proceeded to completely abandon the safelane to jungle. The BH raped my team for the first 15 minutes, netting a godlike streak and that's when I decided to fuck it, let's go Midas on Lich and stop supporting. We somehow ended up winning... as Veno+Invoker got the items to fight and the guys on BH's team were actually worse than the 4 of us (apart from BS).

thats not entirely true. lvl 2 frostbite is pretty important for roaming etc since its doubling the damage of lvl 1. that means altough its not necessary for jungling you should get it at lvl 4
