Please remember that while this thread is for QQ and venting about the game, racism is not tolerated here on LD.

I don't get these tryhard 5 man stacks, i mean are they that desperate for a win, a chance to boost their self esteem that they have to group up with 4 other people and stomp over random pubbers in a match and constantly flame for being bad?

I mean seriously, why can't they just play cm if going to 5 man since that requires more coordination and teamwork. They try so hard to win, it's just a game.

I still remember one of first games in dota 2 on total shit mmr i get 5 stack try hard that takes Lich, LD, Ursa, WL and some other suppor (WR maybe). I recognized immediatly that they will go Rosh, but sadly half of my team was braindead and other was bad. (like pick AM after me typing they will go rosh push) and we lost, but boy, those 5 guys were acting like super pro all chat type all time.

EDIT : Btw, i don't really blame anyone for not going CM, its silly to wait 15 mins in queqe for game.

playing as Shadow Fiend when my PC crash, it took a couple of minutes to start up and everything.
Get back into the game and Im not abandon, sweet we can still win this game

suddenly this SkeleKing start talking trash and say it will be my fault if we lost, ES pointed out that most of the time that I was away the game was paused and the real time Im not there is less then a minute

then SkeleKing said I fail as mid and caused the QOP to get fat, ES againt pointed out that I was laning top with him and Drow was in mid

then SkeleKing and his buddy Huskar which was something like 4-10 disconnect immediately

I can't really understand some people .....

Public game logic : If I decide to carry then everyone picks a carry.
: If I decide to go support, then everyone picks a carry and can't farm.

Moral of this story, public games are carry wars.

Very high matchmaking. I don't mind playing pure support (position 5 the way Chinese players describe it) but damn it seems like I HAVE to go it because nobody else does.

Play CM, complete ward coverage and counterwarding the enemy all game, supporting allies every fight, never overextending beyond vision alone or ahead of the team. Morphling decides to suicide half the time instead of going for the easy kills and we lose.

Only find out at the end that the enemy gave up warding after 20 min and still my team walk blindly into idiotic positions and I'm dragged along for the ride.

Don't play support.

Unless I'm queuing with friends, I know for a fact that it is a waste of time.

Does the '5-man stack, must be tryhard' thing even apply still? Afaik 5-man stacks will generally only be matched against other 5-man parties.
When SC2 came for BW, I cried. Now LoL/Dota2 comes for SC2, and I laugh. \o/

^You can face 5mans even solo, but in those cases it checks wheter your team has smaller stacks and evaluates the skill levels. Basically if it's 5x solo vs full stack, the solos would have each rating equal or higher to the highest one in the stack.

Tbh I don't like to play 5man AP games at all, it's not about getting put against another 5man but instead getting put against a team that picks lineups that wouldn't fall through bans in CM. You get to play against ridiculously tough team compositions when wanting to random or take it easy... I get more relaxing games with silly picks in CM than AP when queuing with friends.

I've started to queue more to draft modes too lately, RD is pretty okay most of the time but it seems SD wants to always give superb pool of heroes to one side most of the time. When it randoms reasonably though, it's playable.

Void/CM lane top in my game, me as Axe and Sand King bot.

We're absolutely fucking dominating the lane, I'm getting mad farm. Void dies by 2nd minute. Void goes 0-3 by 6-8 minutes, then afk's in fountain.

His items were regular boots and 4 branches and ring of regen.

I've got a major case of QQing here. I played as razor against a lineup of lich, lion and lina (+ drow and sniper). Someone picks pugna and goes mid, and i think "great, ward is going to own this silly nuking team".
Except that pugna was russian and never skilled neither ward (put point in stats instead after maxing his 3 other skills) >_<. I went 30-5 or something like that, yet we almost managed to loose.

You might notice the word "hard" after the word "try"

It's people who take the game so seriously they have an aneurysm if people don't play at Na'Vi level and are generally horrible players themselves.

The issue is when you have people here who complain that people who play with 4 other friends in a stack of 5 are try hards because they choose AP. Like I'm supposed to play CM everytime I play with my friends??

- Really terrible players that somehow make it out of the normal bracket into High bracket games. (People that can't pull/stack creeps, don't know how to play a support in a tri-lane, don't know how to use their heroes skills properly, generally suck, etc). Like I don't get it.. The amount of bad players in the so called "High" bracket is just unreal.

Not possible to play with friends who are new to the game, seemingly everybody is smurfing after the beta invite wave and letting a friend with 5 games played play against somebody who has hundreds of games just gets frustrating.

People that play the game without knowing the slightest bit about it. I mean, you can at least look up the basics and know not to autoattack constantly and stand in really dangerous positions in the lane.
