Blizzard can thank DotA for finally driving me to buy HotS ......... xD

Need that game where you don't have teammates to blame, only game imbalance :S

I really don't know what to do anymore. If I pick a carry, the whole team will as well and we'll get pushed to death, if I pick a support, I get carries with 10 apm and no last hitting ability. They are beyond the help of any amount of wards.

I don't understand, how come I never play against teams that have no idea what they're doing and hand out free wins? I know people like to say that playing with stupid people is a reflection on yourself, but I only got the game a few months ago, actually spent time reading, learning, and practicing, only to have no ability to impact the game on my own. There should be some kind of placement match system so you don't always have to start at the bottom of the barrel and hope you get enough lucky games to move up the mmr ladder.

Every new player to DotA says this. "I get the bad team every game", "If I had a better team I would do better", etc. I have said these so many times to myself.

The whole thing about pub DotA is that you have to judge the situation and skill levels of EVERYONE and not expect the optimal performance from your teammates. Once you learn to recognize mistakes (you say you are a new player so this might be awhile) in others play you will be able to take advantage of those. Trust me, the enemy players will be on average just as bad as your teammates, sometimes you get really bad feeders in all games but this is just part of DotA. Some really great players will queue when tired or stressed and just play poorly and there are of course thousands of shit players.

Try and pick heroes that can heavily impact the game. If your team needs a mid some great heroes that are really mobile and can semi-carry a team to victory on ganks are heroes like Puck, QoP and Storm Spirit, even Doom. If your team needs supports, abuse the meta-game and pick the strongest stuff right now like Nyx, KoTL, Lina. If your team can run a solo lane you can jung up a fast Mek on Prophet or fast blink on Enigma. Gyrocopter is a great carry in pubs because he can still have huge presence in fights if he's underfarmed with just Phase/Drums/BKB because of the nature of his hero and if you do get good farm he solos teams. Sand King, Windrunner and BH are all great solo offlaners that can impact the game heavily. Dark Seer can offlane or jungle and get a lot of gold no matter what, and Vacuum and Surge are spells that are MADE for saving pub games. Omniknight can really hard counter pick a lot of stupid pub comps as well and is devastating in a few pub combos (Huskar/Omni, Enigma/Omni and Ursa/Omni are the famous ones for free BKB)

All of these heroes reward high skill and big plays and allow you to directly affect the flow of the game, while all having room in their builds for things like wards if your teammates absolutely will not buy them if you aren't support.

Overall my biggest advice is just play better though. Just constantly be analyzing and watching and try and take the actions that will impact the game the most. If no one is defending towers ping them and ask for TPs to defend, look at your map, always carry TPs yourself, deny towers, plant wards, buy dust vs riki and pl, be aware of everything, ping runes every 2 minutes, ping when you see ganks incoming, call miss for lanes that arent calling it, look at your map, gank other lanes, farm harder, LOOK AT THE MAP

Nice utopia mate, but you know just aswell as everyone else here that this just doesn't apply 100%. You can be the god amongst noobs but it is a game you play with 4 other players. Even if the enemy is terribad they will eventually overcome your godhood if your team insists on feeding and doing nothing to help. 1v5 doesn't work out for most of the games, unfortunately, or I would've won a lot more games ^^
