Dat Daedalus on SK. Dat double Helm on TA. That must have been frustrating to lose to. | ||

Are you sure the problem lies with everything but you and your friend? Well you see, my condescending friend, even if the case is that I suck and my friend suck, that would STILL not explain why we have a harder time winning when the game ranks me LOWER than I am ranked on my other account. See, no matter how good or bad I am, being ranked lower should mean I get easier games, right? It's not like I automatically PLAY worse just because I'm on a different account playing. This is a huge problem with the matchmaking. | ||

Matchmaking is bad in this game, blaming losing games on smurf on it is just silly. | ||

The only time I win against her is when we are completely stomping them but if that doesn't happen and the game goes to the late game and neither team is too far behind in terms of xp and gold , then the team with drow wins 100% This is my third qq post about drow i think..Words cannot describe how much i hate this hero | ||

This is a huge problem with the matchmaking. If you are playing below your rating, your team (by the merit of having you and your friend) should win more often than not. Based on that assumption, we can deduce this: 1. You did all you could, but played agaisnt other underrated players, while having fewer/no underrated players as your teammates. Consistently. The odds of this happening are astronomically low. 2. You and your teammate didn't have enough of an impact on the outcome of the game. If you're the best player on a team by far, assuming high-impact roles like hardcarry or solomid is optimal. It can be done with any hero/lane though, if the difference in skill is large enough. I'm not trying to demean you, I'm just quite cynical when it comes to people trying to rationalize losses, that tendency towards not taking responsibility. Because if you make a new account, and proceed to go on a losing streak, its probably reasonable to assume that you're not as far away from your "real" rating as you think. You should check out this video-blog by purge (youtube link). Among other things it explains how the bellcurve that is the population of players, makes it so that the difference in skill between the 40th and 60th percentile of players is relatively small. | ||

Im with Riki versus a Windrunner and bottle first Enigma...what the fuck. We get first blood on Enigma...maybe they're really bad too!? Then Riki starts rambo blinking in on Enigma and feeds like 3 times before I could even set up the kill. Sniper goes Shadow Blade and the other team has been buying Dust. Wtf gg. | ||

Later on axe kill their easy lane like 5-6 times and dominate the lane while Naix is jungling with doom with no success. Mid kunkka managed to be dominated by dazzle middle. Dazzle thrash talk all the game and dive me because I kill him. Also call me noob after that kill. I don't understand why it is that hard to accept to die. Then other team managed to play better than us and got an easy win despite we have Drow. I think we were punished by some pagan gods and this game is supposed to be high queue. Jeez... | ||

KOTL is out of position 76% of the time and never is buying wards or sentries. But the killer is that Drow maxes arrows, 1 in silence and doesn't even bother getting aura. Then proceeds to rush manta instead of BKB for riki/tide. We have an amazing amount of push early but we can't sustain because no BKB on drow. https://dotabuff.com/matches/90953715 I solo top with LD so we can have DS jungle and be more active. Except Gyro leaves the free farm lane vs weaver to roam and doens't get anything done. Then kotl dies a bunch to weaver and Gyro afk farms without his 3rd ability leveled for most of the game : / The team keeps trying to push with 3-4 people but the supports won't buy sentries so we can't get anything done. | ||
