If I keep going like this I might get demoted to normal or something. I already feel like a liability to my team and I keep feeding every single game. Like there's not been a game with a positive kd ratio for me in the past what 10 games? And to top it off, during my last game it tells me I've been put into lpq, probably due to swearing at all the fucking russians and brazilians in my games who do nothing but chat all game in their indecipherable language Fuck this game | ||

Two russians in game, one calls mid before we even pick and then takes Drow. He's not bad though and ends up doing pretty well. The other one however.... oh boy. Picks Jugg and then leaves for bot lane with no items. Oh he bought them, they're just in his stash -_- Skirmishes against a SB/Centaur when I'm warding as Visage and ends up with less than 50 HP left. Has to retreat behind the tower and proceeds to stand there for the next 4 minutes. Meanwhile I'm forced to solo the lane. I manage to do a bit of harass and when they get too greedy and tower dive me I get first blood and a double kill. Going pretty well. I manage to get one more and trade once or twice with SB before everything goes to shit. I get initiated on by SB and Centaur pretty much continuously and when I don't Razor is there to pick me off every time. Despite taking 3 towers really early and giving up nothing come the mid late game we get stomped hard. Even losing a Rosh fight when we saw them go in there and they were taking forever. Jugg after this solo farms the entire time, feeds continuously, and ends up an amazing 0-14-2. *sigh* | ||

I try to ask him politely to stop, but of course I'm with a russian stack so no answer and he continues, so I just say fuck it and go in the jungle. I would never had done it at least other people in my team were trying to communicate, at least one of them knew english since he complained about me being in the jungle 25 minutes in the game. He could have translated for clintz, or at least try to communicate with me seeing that I was getting annoyed (I said that if clintz doesn't stop auto attacking i'll just jungle eventhough it's shit on naga), but no it was just me writing a wall of text on teamchat and being ignored. Even if someone would say "sorry clintz is learning the game" or anything I would accept it, but these games really feel that I'm just playing with poorly coded bot | ||

So I was leshrac, laning top (radiant) with an sk against a cm and riki. I was thinking "fuck yeah, we are going to dominate this lane, sweet deal". But then the sk decides to level caustic finale over his stun (e.g. he had three levels of caustic and two of stun, no sandstorm, although understandble cause we were agianst cm and riki, but caustic finale?), was terrible at last hitting, and he NEVER used his stun, even when the cm was horribly out of position. There were so many free kills we missed out on, it was brutal. I pick up a kill and die, but he ends up feeding first blood really, really stupidly and going 0-4 in like 7 minutes, and bot lane was getting stomped too (jungle furion that refused to gank, bot got fucked). Again, I cannot stress how terrible his decision making was. At that point I was pretty much given up on the game. But then the weirdest shit happened. We were getting face stomped by a fed bounty hunter and riki, and pretty much given up, but then this SK started actually playing. He just started landing these baller fucking ultimates in team fights, and totally turned the game around. We had a really good pudge, too,, and the other team made some terrible decisions due to it being such a roll, but man, he landed some nice fucking ultimates. I just don't get what the deal was. How could he be SO BAD in the laning phase, but then just flip a light switch and start pounding out awesomeness? He ended up finishing like 15-13, or something, but his ultimates definitely decided teamfights. Not necessarily a QQ, but I definitely left that game with a "I am confus...." feeling. | ||

Third game... I pick Batrider and I'm vs Pudge mid. We also have Void, Clock and Undying trilaning top lane and solo Brood on the hard lane. They were a stack and they PICKED Jakiro + AM ( yeah it's sad. ). So, my lane was going really well, Pudge was pretty much level 3 six minutes in and I was completly in control of the game, BUT our solo broodmother decided to feed AM 6 ( SIX ) kills and our trilane top couldn't even kill Necrolyte. Turns out that Pudge starts ganking and my team obviously is so fucking bad that can't even position themself to dodge a hook, instead they prefer to run straight into it, thus feeding him. Not much I could have done to win that game, I even tried to give all the kills to Void and Brood but they were so bad that they suicided shortly after. Here is the end game score: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/J4LEF.jpg) I would like to point out the amazing build that this am went: - VANGUARD - YASHA - SKULL BASHER - VLADIMIR - MANTA - ABYSSAL Probably if my team didn't feed him so hard we could have won, but whatever, I guess....

20minutes into the game as the enemy SF was wiping the floor with our team he puts out a single line of cyrillic letters... fuck me. Checked his profile afterwards. 3 wins. And according to the replay filter the 'Skill Level' of the game was 'High' how the fuck does that even make sense? | ||

It's so fucking depressing how I always get the shittiest lane and I'm constantly harassed and my lane partner leaves the game 2 minutes in (already happened 3 times today) If I keep going like this I might get demoted to normal or something. I already feel like a liability to my team and I keep feeding every single game. Like there's not been a game with a positive kd ratio for me in the past what 10 games?

Anyway QQ time for me. I just got off a game of Diretide with clans. Grouping with clans or clans in general - 75% of the time (like 3 out of 4 games) they're snobs. For such a BM clan (not solo queuing), you'd think they'd be above normal skill range (hey, so I am but I haven't played much + mostly solo queue). (Yes, their BM made me look up their name and look up what skill level they're in.) Even while queuing as 4 people (they queue 2-3 average though from the last games I've looked up), they're still in the "normal range". (So yes, 4 people queuing and still in normal skill level? Where's their pub stomps?) Anyway, they even suggested going for the basket when we were ahead by 30ish candy (65~ total) and they had only 25 candy (the best strategy when you're ahead and there is just 7 mins left - Play it safe and stay near the mid lane to guard the basket while farming occasionally). However, they kept suggesting to just go for the basket. (In a Diretide game, people generally farm candy at the same rate. The only main changer is stealing, which means if you're far ahead, it's best to just safely farm and defend until the end, rather than trying to steal.) They kept going for the basket (alone, like going far ahead alone without even waiting for us) and then dying, then complaining. We won thanks to the non-clan members of our team (me included obviously). (Seriously though, they were just hanging out. They died to Roshan numerous time too. Me, I dodged all of Roshan's attacks like a boss.) tl;dr - Playing with clans = playing with snobs 75% of the time. (I mean, I knew it when they started BMing our SK for blocking them 2 mins into Diretide... where kills barely even matter in the game mode.) Also a funny chat convo I remembered - I was playing with someone who was really BM and they even threw out racist remarks (then complaining in all chat with said remarks). (Most of the response from the other team was "whoa" and "omg, time to report"... you know in pubs, the enemies usually don't care or troll your QQing from your team. Yes it was that bad that the enemy team even sympathized with us >.>.) Someone from the other team suggested maybe <insert feeder on our team> isn't playing good because you're a racist. True story. Stephano said that one of the reasons he does so good is that he doesn't take loses or rage over loses that much (saying the only time he really raged was when he was 15, and that was the only time). (This was one of the interview Hotbid did in MLG). Finally I remember reading a cracked dot com article (yes, it's cracked but they try to do legit articles sometimes) stating that venting actually reinforces your well, venting and anger (the best thing to do for most people is to let it slide or let go). (They had sources too and I'm sure there are articles for me.) Overall the point I want to make is that... Shameless plug to my 1v1 idea on PD forums. Cause playing pubs with random humans is somewhat unpleasant at times. Actually one last QQ of this post - + Show Spoiler + We had the other team (it was 4v5 because the enemy team had a leaver) losing badly. It was 10 minutes into the Diretide game (so about 11-12 minutes left if you count the Roshan fight at the end too). However, they started all leaving (yes, they were losing badly but still, they could still play and stick around). The reason they left was because they had no chance of winning right (so what's the point)? The problem with that is: 1. There was only 11-12 mins left (included Roshan portion). You get a guaranteed item if you stay and do the Roshan fight. Since they were already (4 of them out of 5) playing for 10 mins, staying in the game is more profitable than leaving. 2. Since the average Diretide game is 23 mins or so (20 mins of the actual game, then 2-3 min battle with Roshan average), that means if you win every Diretide game, you get an item once every 11.5 mins or so (not counting the match making time). Therefore, it was more profitable for them to stay (since nearly 10 mins have already passed) for them to stay in the game then left. What happened when they all left was... no one got any items (our team included). Which means everyone wasted 10 mins. Also is it that hard to just use the enemy leaver (it was a sniper)? Just keep him near the basket (in Diretide mode, everyone gains levels at the same rate, so he'll always be about the same level as everyone else). Also, when you have a leaver on your team, all the gold is split to 4 remaining players instead of 5. tl;dr - I did the maths. It's more profitable (in that game) to stay in it than to leave. What happens now? They get into another game, now they have to play another 10 mins of the first mode and they're not even guaranteed to get an item (they need to win). We were already 10 mins into our game (so just 10 mins left for a guaranteed item for everyone), so why leave. Also yes, everyone does Diretide mode for the items (no one does it for the game mode itself >.>). | ||

Valve has got to do something about this. It's completely unfair to the people actually playing in the English speaking regions to have to deal with teammates who can't communicate. | ||
