Valve really need to fix low priority or remove it completely its pointless to have it when its literally just one side feeding constantly so the games end quicker I think it's doing what it's supposed to then. 
You mean having 5 people throw their heads into the other team for 10 minutes for 3 games so LP only lasts 30 minutes is the goal of low priority? I mean thats not even a punishment its more of a lets have a silly game time / collect free wins. I mean the old system at least got actual games happening in low priority but as it stands people move in / out of LP too quickly for it to be an effective punishment right now

All right guys back on a losing streak! This last one courtesy of a Vanguard jungle DS.
The other team had Troll, Tiny, and Void, but this somehow seemed like a good idea.
"But we have Jug!"
Even Jug isn't that fucking strong.

Yesterday I had a Troll Warlord in my team who went like 1-14 in 30 minutes.
How is that even possible?
|
got about a 15k gold lead and lost game cuz my safe lane weaver decides to go linkens into 40 mins radiance while feeding the enemy slark in the process.

Yesterday night i played for the first time with 4 friends, it's so hard for me to find the time for a team, so i usually play pubs or 2-3 stack...
my QQ is so simple: why "standard" game experience can't be a little closer to what i played Yesterday? why i had the greatest time playing dota and the first thing that came to my mind was "omg how can i play pubs again after this?"
Edit: for the record.... http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1323540534

mjollnir's really good on any tank, especially one that also does damage. if anything the item's not being built enough on dusa. idk what happened in ur game, but that's not a bad item choice at all.
|
maelstrom is more a farming item than damage item and dusa farms fast with max split shot anyways, thats the part i dont like in it. Mjollnir sure makes ur tankiness in good use but i would rather see butterfly or sheep instead of mjollnir most of the time. The first part of the item doesnt provide a lot when u could have ur first ulti orb rdy for skadi for even less money.
|
id really like a new patch to freshen things up, thats my only qq at the moment
|
Any patch that would buff Tusk would be amazing. Most unloved hero in doto.

mid slark 81 last hits in 41min game. Thats 2 last hits a minute, and when 1 last hits ~35g and passive gold gain is 100, we are looking at massive 170gpm from our position 2 core hero. Thats pretty good aint it? I mean their storm had only 670 gpm and i had only 505 gpm but 170 isnt that bad yeah?

Depends on his ganks though, I mid slark alot, and sometimes when you go to gank and its successful you getting fat by killing people without last hitting. Not saying this is the case for your slark, but I have had many games where Ive been at 60-70 last hits at 20 minutes because im constantly back and forth to lanes ganking, but still have 500+ GPM.
However, that said, it does get real ugly if the ganks arent working for you. lol
|
well theres quuuiute a big difference between 80 @20min and 80 @40min u know. 80 @20min + few ganks is fine but he just afked mid and died.

Yeah. I prefer to play core now (I used to prefer support until I got tired of supporting terrible players) but if it even reasonably looks like we won't have a support if I don't play one I'll goddamned play it. And I'll do an earnest job of it too. And we'll usually win.
Refusing to support is just baby stuff. Even if your team are fucktards. Being the only support and getting shitted on cuz they don't like your wards, because you died with no vision trying to place a ward and none of your cores pauses his farm to help, because you are underfarmed, because you are underleveled or because you can't get a rampage on the 5 enemy at 10% hp. Idk, maybe when you're at 4k mmr, you enjoy this kind of games, but i can assure you that in the 2k trench, i don't enjoy a second of these games It's not about enjoying it or not. It's about Dota being a team game and you as an individual making at least a reasonable effort to be a valuable part of the team until your teammates show it to be pointless. Otherwise you have no grounds to complain about what others do. I feel that 4 selfish retards picking cores and leaving support pick for 5th is enough to show that this game is going to be pointless. As you said it's a team game, and a team with 4 selfish players will be an awful experience. There was a time i picked support in that case, but I don't have the patience you seem to have. Also to get back on the thread, i was kinda happy randoming medusa as it was a long time i didn't play it and i was 85% winrate with her. Then the enemy team proceed to pick lion, invoker, kotl and nyx. Oh god, why didn't i repick  Well then this is just a case of how much you care about winning I guess. If playing core is more important/fun then winning, then go ahead. Just don't be surprised if you have a hard time gaining mmr.
I'm on something like my fourth page of straight ranked Crystal Maiden, playing totally un-meta sole support in the majority of my games. My MMR's risen by 400 or so. Shit works. Slowly, and not every game, but eventually it works.
Gank the shit out of everything in sight, spam buy wards, raise aura.. drag your shitty teammates across the finish line. Force them to win, even when they don't deserve to.

On that note I'm so glad ARCANA MADNESS has eased off and when I get a CM player they usually know how to play CM.
It's nice.
