This just sounds like you're crying after losing one too many mids against drow - try picking silencer against her mid and you'll find yourself posting in this thread less often

I have a pretty good strat vs drow. It's so simple it just needs two words.
Kill her. She's a hard carry without an escape and you dare complain about her ? Man up and go get her.

Storm isn't THAT good at winning pubs with imo, because he's relatively weak in lane, he snowballs EXTREMELY hard if you do get a good start though, I'm not sure I've ever lost a game where I could get a 15 min bloodstone.
Qop is amazing though, very strong (I'd argue one of the best) in lane, and remains strong throughout the entire game if you build her correctly (hex as first item, then straight into hard carry stuff like mkb, crit, etc., with a bkb thrown in when you need it).
SF is also good, and my personal go-to hero (think I have just above 200 games played), his laning phase can start off a little weak but that quickly changes once you start building up souls and start to get levels, he has a huge influence on the midgame and can go toe to toe vs a lot of hard carries even in the lategame because of how much farm he tends to get.
Also templar assassin is really good for winning games with too because she's overpowered. Storm is actually a decent laner - but its situational who he is good at laning against. Some mid heroes will outright beat him mid - others will outright get stomped by him mid (most mid heroes are like this, barring QOP, BR, and TA (will, ta can even lose against some heroes). Mainly TA and Bat's popularity is keeping Storm from being popular, IMO.
he goes even against or loses to most mids
he does well against some melee ones but that's pretty much it

regarding pub stomping - I can never again play any stealth hero after Shadow Blade BH got nerfed. Shit was so fun 
if I feel like winning I'll pick AA (I dunno why I just have a really high winrate with him, maybe it's because his ulti is love ♥) or DS (can do all lanes/jungle, gank, teamfight, escape, and people really underestimate Replica Wall)

This is an unprecedented level of assholery. Sure, drow pickers are often cowards who just want to abuse the OP hero to win cheap games (I've had more than 5 admit it to me) but reporting for picking is just..ugh.

The other day me and one other on my team randomed; we got drow and centaur. We stomped and even though I randomed I still felt guilty.

I think PL needs a serious nerf. Like PL running around with tranq. boots for 20 minutes and having an army of naruto illusions literally tanking t3 towers, burning the entire team with diffusal. yeah.

fml, tiny is beyond bad. goes mid against clinkz, loses first blood and two minutes later dies again. We tell him to gank instead, but he doesn't, keeps boneheadedly staying and gives clinkz 12 min orchid/treads
PA bot farms but so incredibly poorly. Never leaves lane and gets a 22 min perseverance + 3 gg branches.
Im with a medusa against kotl-pl and isnt that the fucking most jolly lane in the world.
So anyway, idk maybe coulda ganked clinkz, best option prob tiny gank for us... We get pushed back to base and they farm fountain for 15 min because tiny keeps throwing us out for lulz

o.o Drow isn't even that strong of a mid hero. Low HP with no stun or escape ability. Just kill her o.O

Dota player database is about 80% russians/idiots and perhaps 20% decent people. So sad how this has become an activity for the flaming child kind, or maybe I'm just getting old.

Play on US east. Feels so good to actually be able to communicate with your team (you even have people in voice chat that are not drunk and not insulting you in russian!!)
Seriously, playing on EU has been to frustrating lately, I maybe get at best 1 out of 5 games were I have "basic" communication within the team, it's much better on US (you occasionaly get your flamer/trolls/brasilian as well, but doesn't seem as prevalent).
My qq of the day: I play lifestealer, I usually lane him but we had a void and I didn't really feel like going hard lane so I decided to jungle, after asking to the treant protector if he would be ok with him soloing the hardlane, which he agreed.
He then proceeds to feed first blood immediatly. I don't really know what happened, but eh, it happens. Turns out that he had not skilled his invi first .
Immediatly after the first blood the void starts to rage at me because I asked treant to solo the hardlane, and he proceeded to flame me all game long (when I told him treant was an ok offlaner he told me that "he knew a lot about this game and blablablablabla", you see the picture, he was one of these guy who think he is super pro yet he is somehow stuck in normal match making...
Initially I wanted to gank, but they have a windrunner and another hero good at surviving, and on top of that the feeding continues so I get a fast midas and basically try to farm a quick armlet to hopefully turn the tide before it's too late. Unfortunately I got caught by a beastmaster with dd (no wards of course), and then void started to prevent me from farming as they continue feeding...
This pro void of course gets a mask of madness after treads THEN midas at 20 min. Also did I mention that silencer did not skill last word before level 6 or so? These games sometimes...
And of course, at the end of the day people blamed me for the loss.

It baffles me people get this mad over something so trivial.

I don't think she's a good mid, on the contrary, I find her to be a rather shitty mid, which is why I find people who immediately call mid with her (realising very well that against a pub team they probably won't get ganked much, allowing them to unleash the OPness even earlier, while still not really being able to help out sidelanes at all) to be idiots.
Anyway let's not shit this thread up with my personal issues.

Lol.. is this drow thing a western thing? I rarely get drows on SEA...
US and EU must be like following dota buff everyday and picking the highest win rate heroes.
Drow can be quite strong if she gets one/ two items up but by no means super OP.
If she is bad, she wd have been shut down in the laning phase and if your carry is not shit, should easily dispense of her.

Whining about drow? It's more painful the player than the hero.

I'm seriously having the most unlucky streak ever. It's such bull shit, there are people on my team at least 5 games in a row that are just play absolutely horribly. I have no idea how the fuck these people are in "very high", but after like a 3 or 4 game losing streak I deserve to have a normal team! It makes me look bad cause i'm playing support most of the time and my K/D's are horrible and it's pissing me off so much.
6 loses in a row, and I and comfortably say none of this is close to my fault or me playing poorly. I don't know if these guys are just playing heroes they're not comfortable with or drunk, but they're on my fucking team 6 times in a row and ruin games. Very high skill bracket my ass.

She was only ever truly OP with the global aura split pushing all the lanes for free even if you are behind most of the game (mega ranged creeps with one big agility item, etc.). After the nerf to that by making it in lane only any drow QQ is just standard "OP hero" QQ.
