Well, I suppose he is implying that Shadow on Doom is pretty much 100% idiotic. Naked boots into midas is...okay though if he gets it in 5-6 mins. | ||

It of course resulted in the game dragging on, something that you don't want with PL in the opposite team. However, we had an earthshaker so a good ult would clean that up. NO!!! This asshole was waiting to KS with his ulti! He was litteraly walking around doing a few stun with his ulti off colldown, and waited for a low health drow or whatever it is to blink in. Of course PL were raping us during that time. We won anyway, but it ended up being a close 60 min game, and really it should have been over by the 30-40 min. On a more positive note, I had a couple of nice escapes thanks to armlet toggling, this shit is good  . (I also failed once or twice in a teamfight as well, but overall I'm starting to get the feel of it). | ||

Drow was doing absolutely horrible, but doesn't matter because our towers were falling to creeps while we were teamfighting.

I cannot even begin to count how many times it has saved me. A free 450 hp heal every 2 seconds, yes please. Why won't any of my friends push before 40 minutes? We can be playing the most midgame-aoe-oriented line up ever, and they will just farm solo until 40 minutes where they break down from me complaining too much. I wish I could sit down to dota, and win a few games without having to wait and stall for 20 minutes each game while people refuse to group. | ||

Its just insufferable and the worst part is if you ask them nicely to please stop- its like fuel to the fire, PING PING PING PING PING PING!!! They just can't help themselves. It seems to be everyone's way of taking out there anger from death or from not being listened to. The only way to encourage someone to ping more is to ask them to stop pinging. Just ignore it and it will go away | ||

I have recently started solo queueing for CM. I realize this is suicide, but I would like some experience with drafting, and I do enjoy having strong team lineups without having 5 stacks instantly pick a dream team in AP. It also conveniently doesn't have Drow, which is fantastic. Anyways, of the three CM games I've gotten so far, I've been captain in two of them (including this one). I load up, and we have second pick. I go ahead and ban Magnus and Bat. It is at this point that two separate teammates (they must have been stacked) tell me that if I don't pick WD and Ogre for them, they will feed. I facepalm so hard that I lose some bonus time, but I want to win this game so I'm trying to think of a way to fit WD/Ogre into a lineup. If I had known earlier, I would have banned good supports like Jakiro since we sure as shit weren't going to take him now, but alas. I pick up TA, Void, and Tide, knowing that there is no way in hell Ogre and WD will get picked or banned by the time it comes for 4th/5th pick. We end up going against DS/Naga/Jakiro/Tinker/Lich. The game starts, and the dude who claimed he wanted Ogre or he would feed, immediately takes TA. This leaves me stuck with Ogre. Thankfully the guy who grabbed Void, not one of these two idiot trolls, volunteers to swap me. I'm even more pissed now, but we head to the bottom lane together and he does a good job supporting and keeping DS away from the creep line. Then the feeding starts. In the span of 3 minutes, WD must have died 4 times in the top lane. I think about making a snarky comment about WD being the only hero that guy can play, but decide to focus on my cs. Even with constant ion shells, I barely miss any cs and stay focused on farming even though the score is like 4-11 at this point. Not insurmountable, but not encouraging either. They ganked me once, but I got a chrono off and traded myself for DS in the end. The rest of their ganks fail miserably. Suddenly, WD fucking turns it on and they start winning teamfights in the top lane with the help of TA (who, even though he was a massive troll, played a pretty good game). Suddenly the score is tied and I have Treads/BF/MoM/Butterfly at 28 minutes into the game. Needless to say, with that kind of farm, we won pretty easily in the end. And predictably, I got yelled at by WD/TA because "they were right about WD being op in pubs" and "Void got outcarried by WD." I didn't even care at that point, because I played a good game and we won so whatever. But I'm starting to see why people hate pub CM. | ||

On the side note: played yet another game where people are pointing fingers at others but not themselves. HAPPENS EVER GAME. TERRIBLE ATTITUDES. HATE BEFORE EVEN THE FIRST PICK IS MADE. | ||

My friend decided to return to Dota and he is not a bad player who always follow the scene, understand the game etc. After months of break, probably his MMR was reset and I improved somehow due to hundreds of game after him. I expected shitty games but the story overwhelms me. First game I randomed zeus, my friends got slark and invoker. one random pudge calls mid and I decided to play support from the beginning since my friend asked me to support. Anyways, we were against viper and nyx as slark and zeus. Pretty hard lane but we manage to exchange kills somehow and got ahead excluding cs. But invoker and drow gave the game away with a total of 1-8 score or so. I couldn't understand how. Pudge was between good and bad, but generally decent except giving away mid. Sigh.. Game 2, I randomed NS, We got a Russian axe and a sniper. My friends got qop and wr. Sniper opted to go treads, w. band and 'blink' build. I am too rusty or this is the most retarded build that I ever witnessed before. I can't stress enough how retarded this is. Also always underlevel and underfarmed all game. He got some random ulti ks too. I had to lane with axe because he refuses to speak English and answer my questions with Russian. Ofc I have to learn how to speak Russian, you idiot. He autoattack creeps in easy lane, refuses to pull, dive without reason, not level call until I don't know 11+ lvl or so. I think at least one point should be given early because of armor at least. Even in that case game drags long and even, until we lose some towers because of no team work and overall. I finished with the best cs, second best xpm, and about even with the best gpm(-9 gpm :/), including we were behind in terms of towers. I did some mistakes too I admit but give me a f.ing reason for sniper's build : blink into mom + '2' crystalis. I missed my high queue games to play with guys with some brain and reasoning. I won't flame in my bracket anymore.. edit: format | ||
