Enemy team QQ.
Solo queue. Decided to jungle because I never do it, wanted to mix it up. Had issues at the start when Medusa got ganked twice and mid Invoker wasn't doing great against pudge, but managed to turn the tables around.
Checked the builds at the end, and then I saw why. (The first four players of each team were four-stacks. Guess which team had the worse four-stack.)

I was once 4600, now all the way down to 3980 while all the time I'm trying to learn and improve my play. Nothing I can do makes any impact on the outcome of my games. I'm watching Aui's commentaries, pro matches, pro streams, my own replays, trying to be helpful to my teammates in-game--all for nothing.
Ranked is so utterly pointless. Everyone just does their own thing, if they don't get to do exactly what they wanted to do they don't care about winning. No-raze offlane SFs, Liches that ult farm creeps you need for your Radiance as Spectre, Voids that don't understand why AA ult is good with Chrono, Invokers that never Sunstrike a Chrono'd target for an entire game, LCs that crush the early game but then build Refresher instead of normal items.
It's actually the most frustrating thing I've ever experienced. Such garbage.

this is the point where you look at the number next to your name and realize that, really, it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things other than to flex. if you're a good player, you know what you do well and what you can do better. who cares what your team does as long as YOU are getting better. try to have fun along the way!

Biggest throw by our PA. He kept diving instead of getting the fucking raxes. FOUR fucking times. The 5th time he wrote to us all and told us to not dive. WHAT THE FUCK?! And then he dives AGAIN and dies instead of getting objectives. We lost because they had TB who eventually got strong enough. He had nothing the first 25 mins. Saddest -25 points in like three months for sure.

That is rough... I can honestly say I would have uninstalled and broke a mouse if I lost that many points. At least you seem to cope with it better than most.

fucking crit shaker that cant even buy the courier even though he was the only support fucking retard first item is midas ofc
|
I changed my name to please let me draft. Not cause I'm perfect but cause i'm better then garbage captain that picks a drow into huskar and thinks it's a good idea. Which btw, we didn't have all range either so it wasn't even that good of a drow game and like they last pick countered. They had huskar, he JUMPS DROW AND SHE LOSES ALL HER DAMAGE. WHY WOULD YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD DROW GAME?!
And to make matters worse, he goes Earthshaker and all he does is fissure block his team 24/7. And of course, LOWEST MMR.

Every time I want to play Carry I'm forced to 1st or 2nd pick because everyone just fucking sits there and has no idea what they want. Then the other team picks some godly solo offlaner or does some strong dual lane and my team doesn't even react to it. We end up getting BS jungle and I'm being supported by a solo AA. The sad thing is I still win most of these games because I just play smart and catch up in farm later. Can't imagine how much easier games would be if I was able to last pick AM/PA and shit like that and have an actual trilane protecting me.

Enough with these omniknights please!

Enough with the drow picks when they have line ups good against her. Does enemy have multiple heros that jump on top of us, then DON"T PICK DROW. And Brewmaster, your ult animation was nerfed. Against a team with death prophet, witch doctor, vengeful and tidehunter, you need a god damn bkb, not a radiance.

5 stacked with friends and their friends. I'm the skywrath, my friends are the wraith king and the qop.
The enemy team first-picked PA, so we thought it was an arcana event. Then somehow they to repick? They said it was a bug of sorts. Anyway, we were also up against a 5 stack of pinoys and this will be a trashtalk fest. Well we were winning anyway after a handful of good teamfights and pickoffs. There was a time where I was down and it was a 1 for 3 trade of sorts. The rest of the team hanged back around the enemy jungle and our QoP told our WK to stay at mid and push. Of course our WK got fucking ganked and died. What's worse? Instant buyback for no reason at all.
Of course we fucking lost after that. Fuck this shit, I don't know why my friends make stupid ass decisions at times.

Slark pickers. Unreal how bad they can be and still win the game. I'm gonna start flaming these people regardless of team from now on.
|
Guy complains how someone picked clock when we had "weaver for offlane" and then goes mid with ogre. Okey brah.
Gota give him credit for buying a courier though.
|
I thought I'd have some fun so I played Dota. Solo support, lost the early game ultra hard, enemy team had Techies and Naga so they never, ever, ever fucking pushed.
This is how I use my spare time. This is how I have fun.

Random draft. I'm last pick. Okay whatever.
None of my teammates seem to speak english, all blabbing in god knows what. Fine.
My teammates pick, in order, Nature's Prophet, Spectre, Bounty Hunter and Mirana. Of course this is a pub so of course Mirana is mid. So that's safelane hard carry, solo offlane, mid and jungle all tied up. So of course I'm position 6 support. Okay.
I don't mind this so much. It happens sometimes, luck of the draw with randoms I guess at the time. I play a hell of a game even if I do say so myself and finish the game 3/3/8 despite being massively down in farm, level and spending almost my entire income on sentries because they have a techies. I can't afford to upgrade courier on time so of course it doesn't actually get done until ten to fifteen minutes later when I DO have enough space in my constant warding to afford it, because heaven forbid anyone else actually do anything at all to help the team as a whole.
We win. No problem. Good game.
Get to score screen. Rest of my team IS A FOUR STACK.
YOU ARE A FOUR STACK AND YOU LOCK IN FOUR CORE POSITIONS. What if I didn't pick support? What would you have done then? Bitched at me in whatever language you're speaking?
THIS. See this shit right here is why I HATE being matched with stacks. If you've got a four stack then do every poor bastard playing solo a goddamn favour and find yourself a fifth.
Bonus points for the Gondar being a guy I've apparently muted previously, which I only do to people who severely hack me off. -_-

50 minute game and rubick is lvl 7 due to being afk... We were getting thrashed but...this deserves a report.
|
Why do people keep drafting heros that are already countered by enemies picks.
And why, why, why does nobody grab fucking BkB vs a tide who gets refresher ravage.

Man. Wisp is my AHC. I'm on an 8 game losing streak. Every game (except 2), we've crushed the early game so hard. And then everyone gets complacent and starts to throw. Last game was the closest I've come to winning, with us being a rax and a T3 tower up ahead while us still having our T2's up. But everyone keeps wanting to fight 5v5 into a cent, 6 slotted spect, 6 slotted dk. We push mid with aegis, I tell clinkz to go bot and bd the rax in, but he says nono, we can take a 5v5 he has a bkb. We walk up high ground, he turns on bkb, the spect mantas and focuses him and he blows up. The rest of the team straggles through and we all die. Could have been up another rax And then team keeps throwing themselves at the other team 5v5. We go from being up 30 kills to losing our base in the span of 20 minutes of futility.
And this is even with our mid mirana consistently dying solo to their DK. We were basically playing a man down of effectiveness =\ I'm so sad right now
