Playing with a 4 man stack is so much fun. Everything that goes wrong is your fault. Support dies? My fault. We lose a teamfight? My fault. The carry misses a lasthit? Still somehow my fault.

Why do I have to update after every 2 games?

Edit: and then have my game broken.

I get the offlane invoker to feed spectre. The roaming mirana that can't hit arrows. The juggernaut that goes phase into battlefury into maelstrom and wonders why he dies with his amazing 1000 health pool. Good god, it was the trifecta of dumb.

Fuck people who dive in to 3v5 fights over and over again early game. If mid does nothing but feed and top lane loses, only so much offlane bristle can do. Thing is, offlane bristle shut down their fucking spectre hard, 2 or 3 kills in the first 10 minutes. When your tiny and io feed as many deaths as your entire team has kills though instead of farming up items, it's kinda fucking hard to come back.
God I hate this game and the fuckwits that play it sometimes.

After the new patch I could not even play bot games. I didn't realized this until I got invited and can't even play after loading screen. Welcome to Low Priority I guess if I could even play.

Edited: At least I can now random hero before the game crash.

Apparently it just happened to some people.

pubs make me want to hang myself
dota is probably a bad game for people with depression
not that i'm depressed haHA losing is FUN

edit: oH boy new game different retards
rhasta decides (at 0:00) "there's a necro in my lane, better abandon the lane and leave sniper to solo feed" thus ensuring that sb+necro have an easy lane bot
and of course he comes top, so he leeches XP and ruins any advantage we might've gotten there
but y'know no big deal
he wants to win
that's why he abandoned his lane and handed the enemy team a free win
no big deal
HEH

Had a guy yesterday who picked Anti Mage and decided to troll the guy (apparently his mate) who picked NP and went midlane with him. He played normally for the first 20 minutes, then picked up a Battlefury and proceeded to put the whole team on ignore and do literally nothing but hoover the jungle and lanes for the next 45 minutes. Built Manta, Radiance, Octarine and just got as many cs as possible while spamming "I mean you no harm" in all chat.

The annoying thing is we very nearly won anyway. The rest of the team ratted hard and managed to get 5 barracks down and had the last one down to 30%hp when the fight that lost us the game ended. The ridiculous thing is I (Shaman) could have easily afforded a refresher if the AM wasn't hoovering up all the gold from the map. We would have won if he'd just AFKd/abandoned.

I don't mind losing but I want to actually play the game. The game has an insane amount of trolls and/or leavers.

Returned to play a few games... Enough to remind me what a terrible place Dota 2 solo queue is. Outside of 5 men party this game is unplayable.

Just lost like 7 games against spectre. Holyshit what a cancer pub hero in this patch. Any heroes that requires 5 man push to win against are fucking cancer. It doesn't require super good mechanics to win but game understanding and team coordination. And it's impossible to find 5 solo pub players for that. Rather play against cancer pony storm lina...

5-stack, queued EU servers for a ranked match. Asked me to accept or decline. Clicked on accept at least 10 times. No more like 15 times. Then after some time it said I was removed for failing to ready up and I was out 10 minutes. Christ.

Another day, another time to wonder why I bother to queue Public Match-Making.

First game of the day. Greet my allies, mark Juggernaut safelane, say I'd love to safe lane carry. One guy picks OD mid, another guy marks jungle WK, 3rd guy picks SF and marks offlane, 4th guy picks Slark and marks safelane. Alright. So far, so good. I pick support, try my best at babysitting/zoning/warding/dewarding etc. meanwhile: WK is jungling absurdly inefficiently.. and Slark is missing cs for no reason..

While I prefer playing core, if needed, I'll pick support, but holy shiiiiit, I'd so much rather have a bad support supporting me when im playing core than supporting bad cores.

Eventually game was won, but as always Im just left with a bitter taste in my mouth and emptiness in my soul. DotA is such a beautiful game but I seriously need to accept that I dont enjoy playing with random strangers who have no clue.

I really wish I had friends that wouldn't make me play more than an hour long game because they want to play techies... just unacceptable.

not excusing it. But in general slark is a god awful laner against any ranged supports until 6. So if you dont have some serious support on your lane, he farms really badly. I have had plenty of games as slark where I have like 70 last hits at 20 mins because the other team has such a lane advantage.

alot of people dont realize this, but in general, Dota is won and lost on lane advantages in pubs.
