"Guys, seriously. Group up and stop getting caught out like that. What's wrong with you? We need to take an engagement somewhere to knock off their respawns; they're nearly out." One guy: "But we have to stay spread out to avoid Lich ult!" *facepalm* Splitting up to avoid a Lich ult does not require two of our players in their jungle ready to engage, one pushing mid, one in our own jungle and one pushing offlane. THE RANGE IS GOOD BUT ITS NOT THAT GOOD. Of course we later lose. We end up down to 0 respawns each so its sudden death on everyone. My team rushes in 3v5 whilst I'm picking up basher and hurrying to get over there and Lion isn't there either. They take rax and dive hard, losing three for 1. Lion gets engaged on by Lesh/Lich a short while later and we manage to 1 for 1 but I'm now 3v1 on Legion Commander against a team staying within supporting range of each other that both outlevelled me and had more farm. I NEARLY get the pickoff on their Lich (a potentially huge kill given his farm) but it wasn't to be as my BKB ran out and Necro turns up just in time for me to get Frost Blast/Dagon/Reaper's Scythed down. | ||

That said I'd like to know in what universe is it okay for a support Silencer to get an AC especially when there is an Axe and a DK on the team. The DK told us he was going for a pure DPS build, but Axe said he wasn't getting AC (he already had Crimson and blademail and was working on Aghs), so he kept telling me I needed to build AC. Our SF wound up building it, but seriously wtf? | ||

And it wasn't a totally wild guess it's just the best I can do without data through casual observation and some assumptions about the nature of the distribution curve (roughly bell-shaped, skewed right, with outliers above 7k and the "common noob" players below 2k). So yeah someone thinking 4.6k is trash tier is just giving into a notion of the distribution of MMR that there is not only no evidence for but some reasonable estimations one could make that are against it. I would bet good money no more than 20% of players is 4.6k (what I stated) or above because I actually believe it's < 5% and I've seen enough anecdata to feel comfortable with that. But the 95th percentile number I have much less confidence in asserting, so vOv I mean I get the concept behind the angst. When I came back to raiding in wow I went from tanking to DPS and my obsession with output was consuming. I'd feel like a bad if I didn't get top DPS in a 25-man pickup raid because "plebs" etc. But that shit's not realistic. The worst fucking thing is that people care about stuff like this because they want to have credibility just discussing this thing they theoretically enjoy doing. That's fucking cancer and it's especially cancer if you have a skewed notion of what is "good." I'm a common noob then ;_; Oh well at least my friends at 3k can't support like me but I am like the worst last hitter in dota. | ||

I was watching Wagamama the other day and someone asked how they could improve as a player around 3k and he said basically 'in that area literally just get better at last-hitting. Go practice bot lobbies don't level spells and see how much you can get uncontested. If you get around 40 you need a lot of work. Most people in that bracket are held back just by this.' There's a lot more to Dota obviously but this is coming from Waga regarding what will hold players back a lot higher than the sub-2k bracket and I think he's more-or-less correct. Of course my problem right now is teammates who love to win fights and then spread out across the map with four enemies dead rather than take towers. Or go fight into whole team as three while people are farming or split-pushing faaaaar away. Shit like that. So mechanical skill only goes so far. | ||

That feeling sucks dick. It's almost as bad as the feeling when you are roaming ganking support who got team off to a 10-0 lead but your mid and your carry has less farm then the enemy counterparts you've been repeatedly killing. | ||
