I knew I was having too many good games in a row. My juggernaut goes mask of madness, maxes crit, one point in bladefury, but then only bladefury in fights. And he gets 0 stat items so he has a sub 400 mana pool so he blade furies, uses healing ward and then never have mana to ult in a fight.

FML.

This month I am 77% win rate in unranked solo queue, consistently VHS games. I guess probably low 4k judging from people's profiles. On the other hand, I am 33% win rate this month in ranked, where I play at 3-3.5k party/solo. It's like mmr makes me retarded. Fuck.

Played my first ranked game in a week and... no one on my team speaks English.

In my games at least they stack the Spanish speakers together about 80% of the time.

I think valves MM system has one purpose only.
To remind the english speaking natives of learning different languages as a means to reach their goals.

Me: *gets 12 min blink as enigma*
Team: Nice job, good timing.
Carry: Heh, well, I'm on track for a 14 min Battlefury as Slark?
Team: BF on Slark is retarded
Carry: Fuck you guys

The rest of the game went as expected. Hey, they have a carry invoker? Better dash forward trying to kill legion and nyx instead of protecting the enigma vs. the invoker

This low priority system is ridiculous. If the enemy team all leave, it doesn't count as a win, but they have no incentive to stay because they're all in low priority anyway, so they all just leave out of spite.

Not sure if it's actually out of spite. Never been in LP myself, but I reckon I would also leave a lost game just to save time. Why would you actually stay?

1-22-7 Axe who says he's playing so bad because "I just came back from vacation and I have a life unlike you guys". Boo hoo. I had no idea going on vacation meant you lost half your IQ in 2.4k MMR of all places.

Thats the point hes making. You can never get out of LP because everyone whos on the losing team just leaves and you dont get credit for a win.

Weaver finished the first item after 43 minutes - Desolator. (boots, ROA, desolator in 43 minutes no kidding)

I play bad, making silly mistakes. When I play greedy, I get punished. When I don't, i don't have enough farm QQ

Long games - man these games that last 50-70 minutes when they could have been done in 30-40 minutes easily.

Ran into my first honest to god Russian in DOTA. I go mid SF and get pushed out of lane by Troll who due to random gold has enough damage at the start to deny every creep. I die twice but top does well with the Russian Dazzle taking all of pudges kills. Troll eventually leaves mid lane and ganks the other lanes despite me calling it. Pudge makes space and I run into the jungle and soon catch up pretty quickly and start getting kills. Well this pisses off this piece of shit who then starts calling out where I am and the enemy team starts killing me. Russian says he carried despite almost all his kills being him ksing and with him having the most deaths and me the least despite him calling out where I was farming. In his words "Stupid Americans I carry you!" WELL THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ON US EAST.

Public Match-Making Adventures January 18th 2016

Game 1:
Alright lets play some doto - nvm boys no doto will be had. For some reason our Gondar is mad and doesn't want to buy wards and feeds; meanwhile Sand King, ever so quiet, ever so afk jungling, doesn't seem too interested in buying wards, either. Our off-lane Void goes 0-5 in 10 min against a dual lane. At least, Invoker is doing fine mid and the AA and WR Im laning against are ~4.5k trash who couldve done so much more to supress me.
15 min into the game: 18-1 in the other teams favor. At this point, a grand total of 0 wards have been bought. Courier is still walking till I fly it at min 19 to prevent it from dieing. Yeah, Im just ready to cut my wrists and wishing for the other team put us out of our miseries fast.
1hour15min into the game: we end up winning with afk 0-10 Gondar because the other team consists of imbeciles. What a sad, sad game; only good thing to be said is that it's over.

Thinking it couldn't possibly get worse, ever the optimist, I queue again after a much needed recreational walk outside in the beautiful snow.

Oh boy, were I wrong about how it couldn't get worse..

Won 2nd game as well because the other team was shit and threw but at the end of the day, there's no joy in winning against clowns who have no clue how to play. No joy. Just disappointment in man. And emptiness. And sadness.

I'm probably going to queue again some time, but every single game of doto I play, I always end up thinking to myself: why do I bother, is it really worth it to torture myself so just for the off-chance of one day escaping the pub trench and playing just one decent game..

So yeah if I stop posting all of sudden, I've probably cut my wrists, taken a lot of pills and hung myself.

Chewbacca.

I've bitched about it before, and I'll do it again. I'm fucking sick of games with 1k+ mmr spreads. Having to listen to some retarded 4.6k mmr carry about how we lost the game because he didn't get enough support, rather than his inability to farm or make half-way intelligent decisions is the most frustrating thing ever.

1-17 Storm spirit. Hard games boys. Sad thing is, I couldn't even report him, since as far as I could tell, he wasn't TRYING to feed or anything. He was just reaallly really bad.

Next game, 1-7 alch. 0-2 jugg who ferries a faerie fire to his safe lane with the courier at 1 minute, through the woods, through the longest possible path, through the area that he JUST SAW a bh in. Why he even needed that faerie fire so badly, i will never know, he already had a set of tangos and a salve.

Next game, same alch. Again goes 2-7. This time losing to a mid doom. Blames team. "I need wards" (He had a ward). "Where's our team" - Points to me, an AM. As if me somehow camping mid to save him every time he gets out of position would win us the game or something.

Next game, a lion who decides after going 0-4 he doesn't want to play anymore and just sits in ward vision until the enemy team kills him over and over again. 0-11.

8 Game losing streak, all something like this =\ I'm trying to find things that I can do better, but I can really only find 1 game where something I did could have made the game better. And even that game was more of, we're losing really badly due to feed or otherwise, and I could have maybe turned the game around if I hadn't fucked up.
