I usually try to play a committed support in pubs when I solo-queue, but it can get awfully annoying when you are doing your role to the best of your ability and still can't change the tide of the game because your carries and other team-mates aren't up to scratch. Then again, on the other side of the spectrum; you try to play a carry role to more-often-than-not get no supports. Such is the life of the solo-queuer. | ||

After a while I gave up, now I just first random every game because if you wait for people to pick you are always gonna end up in those roles and it gets old after a while, and if you pick something fast you might force someone to play something they don't want to ... So ... Random FTW. And if the team comp is really bad I just repick, but that doesn't happen that often. | ||

Proven beyond all reasonable doubt for sure! | ||

I never understood how you get better if you start with 250 extra gold all the time. pretty much this. I really dislike the whole "Random heroes so you can learn!" I've seen so many new people random and spend their money on a full bracer or boot + tango. I honestly suggest new players to look at vods or just try bot games by themselves :/ Atleast if you have a hero you somewhat like you can probably find another hero just like him | ||

pick gondar. "dont pick gondar" go 1v2 vs pugna and shadow shaman with sentries dont die and start with wards. get 2 kills as soon as invoker decides to come bot with track gold get 3 more track kills before 15 minutes. be the only one to buy wards on the team with a lion on it lose anyway =[ but with positive kd mfw the entire 4stack spend the entire game shittalking me for every little thing just because they need someone to vent on "when someone tells you not to pick gondar..." at the end like they know anything. fuckfuckfuck | ||

I'm sure a portion of it is what I do, postioning and what not. I just can't figure out if the best bet is to wait til most of my team picks and pick accordingly, or just first pick someone who could potentially win the game by themselves. Like TA, SS, QoP, etc. right now i'm at like 10 games below 50% and I seem to always stay there. I've made it above 50% like once or twice. If you provide replay numbers people can analyze the game  | ||

We can easily win our lanes, and as long as we disable their nukers in the fight, we got this. So, we win all our lanes, and come out ahead. But WTF team? We couldn't even win a single teamfight for the life of us. We had the coordination, and the correct engagements, but wtf they come out on top always... some teams (usually ones with tidehunter + another teamfighter) on them you literally cant engage 5v5. this is where you gotta learn how to split push. split pushing in pubs is near impossible tho, so a way around this is to sneak roshan or smoke gank. | ||

It's like there's a new understanding amongst the general playerbase of the roles and expectations since TI2... fucking <3 dota2 <3 TL <3 joindota <3 you all <3... | ||

This game is so full of people who think they're pretty good and everyone else is shit. It's really weird. Everytime someone shittalks someone else I just say "Stop flaming. You're terrible. We all are, otherwise we wouldn't play together". On the other hand in 100 games I haven't seen anyone whine about balance, even though there are probably some really big imbalances in this game (I can't imagine that it's possible to perfectly balance out the number of combinations with this many heroes). | ||

Why do they go mid in the first place then? I've always wondered this. Doesn't seem to have any point to me. Imo they would be pretty sick in lane, esp. in pubs when it's so easy to catch people off guard by just waiting behind the trees for 20 seconds until someone goes out of position. edit: Oops, didn't realize I was about to double-post. Sorry. | ||
