But they didn't - and somehow, someway - we clawed our way back. To the point where we actually won teamfights I still don't know how it happened, but somehow we just won so many teamfights that they lost all their racks. I don't...how, what the fuck happened there | ||

Went in with a 5-stack (though a couple said it was their last game). Right after the game, the party disbanded without saying anything in party chat. QQ. | ||

We played a...Riki, Jakiro, Vengeful Spirit (me), Meepo, Sniper team vs a Dazzle, AM, Weaver, Viper, Slardar team. And we got RAPED early game. Lost every lane. Riki was mid for some unknown reason, Meepo was getting 0 farm and dying a lot, Sniper overextended and pushed the lane, I was doing bad too, etc. Shit got bad - 20 minutes in ant the score was 12-25 in their favor, by all means they should have steamrolled us. But they didn't - and somehow, someway - we clawed our way back.

Goddamn autolose when the opponent has 1/2 proper support, there is simply no way to win. I fcking facepalm when our carries cant carry when i support and then when i carry our team refuse to win game by playing 0 support. MM has been dreadful since 1 month ago. | ||

It's not racist to expect to be able to communicate in English in a game about communicating well with 4 other people that is based on U.S. servers. English is our primary language. It is on all the signs, papers, forms of communication, historical records, etc. until the end of time. If we had a secondary language, it would be Spanish, but it appears in tandem with English, and only in areas with high Hispanic populations. So you're telling me you wouldn't get frustrated if you got paired with 4 Russian or Asian players that you couldn't communicate with at all, even though you were queueing on the European or American servers? If so, I call bullshit. The different servers exist for several reasons, one of which is ease of communication. If you get five players from different regions, with different pings, speaking different languages, it is a bad experience for everyone. That's not racism. | ||

Unlike in cata, where classes like pally, druid or warri, queued up as tank, while actually playing DD, just because there was the possibility of your class being able to do multiple things, abusing the system etc. | ||

Unlike in cata, where classes like pally, druid or warri, queued up as tank, while actually playing DD, just because there was the possibility of your class being able to do multiple things, abusing the system etc. But then what's stopping you from picking Leshrac or another similar hero and taking all the farm and trying to carry? I don't disagree that the concept would be useful in ensuring more balanced teams, but if all people have to do is check a box saying they'll support to get lightning-fast queues, you can bet people will abuse it even if they have no intention of supporting. | ||

Please don't forget that you can run stuff like push strats, 3 carry strats, 4 protect 1, double-jungle strats, etc etc. There is *no* reason to pidgeonhole completely random people into roles before the picking stage even starts. And as mentioned, heroes can be played different ways. I mean, some pro team ran Mirana support recently. That is the tip of the iceberg of terribleness that is this idea. | ||

And all of those strategies require people in a support role. It doesn't have to be people checking a box from 1-5 indicating what role they want to play, it just means giving people the option to indicate they are willing to play a support role and ensuring there is at least one of those players on each side. Would that be so difficult or so terrible? You don't need to pigeonhole them into a hero either, just know that if they check that option, which indicates to their team they are willing to play support, and then don't do it, they'll get griefed, reported, and put into low priority most likely. | ||

Honestly, the idea is terrible. As I said, if you feel like everybody only picks carry, then play with people you trust not to, or play CM. This isn't league where you have to run 1 top laner, 1 AD carry bot, 1 support bot, 1 jungler and 1 midlaner. There is far too much flexibility in lineups and in hero roles. I've won plenty of 5-carry games. Sure, it could have worked better, but that isn't the point. It boils down to: If you think somebody should announce they are support BEFORE the game, then feel free to arrange that yourself. Don't ask valve to force it on others. | ||
