As it is, you can have that, sort of. I wasn't aware of it till a couple of days ago that a buddy told me and I checked that, to my surprise, it was true. The thing is, if you abandon a game in the first 5 minutes or so (I don't know the exact time limit) and no one has died yet, you don't get an abandon and the game does not count (as if you had never played it). It's quite useful for when you start 4v5 or your team starts flaming each other right from the picks screen. | ||

Which is why you always want either a gaming keyboard without a windows key/windows key you can disable, or do something like this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216893 | ||

i accepted a friend invite a while back from a guy assumed it was from tl, he invited me to play just now i joined. i picked a hard support because he had a friend with him and i assumed with 3 people working together hard support will be best for us. I say "'lo" in chat i get "Furion" back from this guy. then game starts. they have a lycan (randomed) so i buy wards and wardblock 2 camps and shimmy my cute little ancient ass over to top lane (we are dire) furion seems to be jungling, based on his position. i then get spam pings from the guy in random spots (on me, top lane then bottom lane). so i start to head bottom thinking oh, he must be laning. so then iget spam pings on me when i turn to leave, so i turn back and go top thinking i misunderstood him, this time i ask for words to clarify since i don't know what he wants. i get nothing. so i turn around after the spam pings on me and bottom go back, and by the time i get to bottom lane tidehunter(guys friend has given first blood to naga. okay nbd we can recover easily. the tide spam pings on naga when she is at 80% so i go in and cold feet + vortex as he gushes, naga starts to walk away and then mirror images to dispel cold feet, tide immediately turns and runs (since i guess now it's a 4v2 and not a 2v1??) i proceed to die after being netteded and atttacked/riptided down as a lvl 2 support vs a lvl 3 naga still again, maybe a mis communication. Then the kicker, our solo mid, starts speaking portuguese and our other top (not furion) doesn't speak at all. so my team is composed of 1 person i don't know exactly what he is saying (but i get an idea of, and he's the only one i can cooperate with as a hard support because of this) and 3 people who don't speak at all. period. never have i felt more frustrated and more useless than a game as a hard support who i thought i would have 2 people i could coordinate well with. it was absolutely atrocious and made me want to quit this game. I've NEVER wanted to quit dota before. not a single moment in my life until today. I have no words. Just truly terrifyingly bad. Hell i didn't even mind that our furion was bad and spammed his ult denying all our farm and pushing the lanes that were already losing, i don't even mind that furion did nothing but farm and tp away from fights all game. i don't mind that pudge missed 80% of his hooks i don't mind that tide hunter didn't use ravage until 30 minutes into the game, i don't even mind that storm spirit rushed phase boots and never bought a real item all game. i don't mind playing with bad players on my team. i really don't. not when everything comes to it all. BUT having absolutely 0 communication when i'm trying to help and coordinate with my team, when my game is already glitchy as hell ( no messages for kills/denies ect ect,, no floaty text sometimes and no projectiles sometimes, which makes playing AA hard support near impossible, even though i fucking HIT all my ultimates except my first) is absolutely the worst feeling on earth and i hate you kind sir for bringing me deceptively into the hell you created. | ||

Treant then rages at me for only going bot once, then screams at me to buy wards because I've been sitting in lane farming (trying to get a hex since we didn't have a non ulti disable). This keeps going on till the end of the game. Some games, you're playing fairly well and the game is hard and interesting... and there's one guy screaming at you on your team to do his job for him. Irritating. | ||

I raise both eyebrows as this is something that happens once in a blue moon and dust off my QoP. We have a treant, a tide, clinkz and a bh + my qop. Decent enough line up. Trundle down to middle, have the superior block vs rhasta. Just about win my lane (I rarely mid since people just instantly lock and shout mid usually), and I've never played the lane vs rhasta. On the way to the 10 minute mark, I gank for bot. Pick up a triple kill, gank for top pick up another, gank top again, pick up another kill.

Irritating. Clinkz and BH are both decent mids I would say. Clinkz used to be the old school king of mid from what I'm told. Treant had no real room to complain unless he had been calling for ganks for a while and went unheeded. | ||
