So has anyone figured out a way of dealing with the russian smurfs on eu west? Just reporting them individually doesn't really help and Valve seems to be either unaware or they just don't care. I had the usual two in my last game (naturally a completely one-sided game).

edit: another game another loss. this i was solo carrying the game as a mid lina - 5 slot level 25 by 40 mins, 15-1 score, etc. what more can one do? but my carry jugg ended 1-10, playing catastrophically bad. offlane axe was a joke too.

because they made an mmr system. i suppose the point is to match people based on similar skill and experience.

in other news, another game another loss. not much to say about this one really.

Timber and QoP are my two best heros by K/D ratio, GPM, XPM.... yet I have negative win rate on queen and 50% on timber. Every game goes the same. I dominate my lane, make good ganks, get good farm get ahead in kills. Then 40 mins goes by and my carry has nothing, and we lose the game.

I hate how icefrog buffed Invoker, not cause he's OP but every bad mid thinks he is OP and they don't need to have an idea how to play him. Have 3 fail invokers in a row. Last one was the best, promised six minute midas, loses lane completely, gets destroyed, fails every combo, ends up messing up our stuns by tornadoing after we stunned him so we waste our spells, check out his profile 0-10 on invoker, awful kda, awful last hits, every single game.

why are europeans so fucking bad at this game. playing on eu west is such an uphill climb. at least 90% of the time your opponents have the superior picks and play. it's one in a million that you get a competent teammate.

edit: another game another loss. this time we had a woods and a dual mid. we had a solo am vs bristle/necro ^^ #justmmrthings #just3kthings

edit2: i guess my whining payed off, for once i got really nice teammates. every one knew how to play their heroes and we got a pretty convincing win.

easy win turned into a 60 minute loss because our mid player suddenly goes afk for 30 minutes

Man, people picking void and trying to carry with him is killing me. I was the maddest I have been about anything in a long time earlier today when someone picks void, goes safelane, and proceeds with the following build. Treads-Radiance-Vanguard-Aghs-AC-Skaadi-Shivas. Like wtf. Was completely worthless and so a game we 4v5ed hard in drug out to 90mins. We did actually win, and I practically regretted it.

so one game there's this PL on my team. friend i'm stacking with flames him a bit. queue PL feeding, throwing, afking in fountain, and just generally doing everything to lose the game for our team.
next game he's on the enemy team so I just spend the entire game flaming the shit out of him (friend got muted after the first game sadly). we lost, but it was still the most fun i've had playing dota in a while. :D

After getting tired by unranked matchmaking that matches me with players with just few games on account and getting trashed by them, i decide to try ranked, cause it might be more accurate... rofl, on opponents team there is mid that crushes our mid and then our game, ofc.... he is TBD with just under 50 games on account....

I literally don't understand how our hard carry Lifestealer gets a first item 13 minute Midas when we help him get two kills in lane

0-7-0 offlane arc warden in 5 minutes.

We have wards up, he sees alchemist charging stun and walking to him, stands there trying to last hit, gets stunned, then hooked and dies.

What a player.

Can people at 3.7k please please please stop picking invoker. All of you suck on Invoker, I suck on invoker but I don't pick it and stink up the game. The max wex, but go euls and euls the guy we are necro ulting invoker. The Guy who maxes quas/wex, no points in exhort invoker.

And the general, I have no idea the combos, hwo to last hit so I get destroyed in lane. And I go for runes vs a pudge and get hooked every time rune is up and continue to do so despite having vision of pudge being there, "cause I can ghost walk and dodge," and die every time.

STOP PICKING INVOKER. PICK A HERO YOU CAN GOD DAMN PLAY

Edit, guy picks invoker, 28 minute orchid, team tries to say he's playing well. GG WP, all a bunch of fucking morons.

Edit Edit, another invoker, another loss, another 24 minute orchid after getting destroyed in lane by zeus. No stick by invoker, no brains, only knows two skills, casts two skills, then right clicks with invoke on cooldown in teamfights.

4 out of 5 losses today I've had invoker on team, fifth was shit hero arc warden. God my luck fucking sucks.
