pfft, I played a game with a LD that didn't skill his ult until level 22 (and even then he didn't use it) and put all his items on the Druid. "stfu all pros know that the bear & bear form are useless"

we still won somehow which says a lot about my MM rating

That just sounds like he was doing it on purpose, probably on a smurf account. This guy has done the same thing for hundreds of games and somehow has a >50% winrate with it. o____o

Holy holy holy crap.

Get matched with what appears to be a chinese 4 stack. Fair enough, chinese guys tend to actually be pretty good. Ask if they can speak english, get flamed in what I'll generously term english. Fair enough.

First three picks, in order: riki, am, pa. Yeah, good. Pick lion, figuring I can at least help one of them get a reasonable lane stage. Game starts, buy courier, last guy still at pick screen.

All three melee carries go safelane. At once. And stay there, as if that was the plan all along. I go mid after courier because.... well... yeah.

Last guy stays at pick screen till after creeps have spawned, then picks kunkka. We're now 4 melee carries, 3 of which are sharing a lane. Excellent. AM eventually ambles down mid, so I leave, but by this stage their safelane SF has a full stack of souls from 2v1-ing kunkka and proceeds to rape us.

On top of this, the enemy team are constantly ganking, 5-manning towers from ten minutes, wards everywhere, smokes, freaking smokes, great teamfight, just generally kicking ass. I have no idea how the MM thinks I'm good enough to deserve this.

This has happened to me to. Several people picking sb, and then refuse to skill bear and/or ulti. Is there somekind of video or guide out there telling people to not use his strongest points or what is going on here?

every game i play has at least one guy with chinese letters lately. In 100% of the cases, unless you play on SEA, it doesnt mean they are chinese. They are the new xXxdarksongoku99s

there's a joke guide on how to play 'Lone' Druid (without the bear), it's a troll build ala SlamDunk AM, but that's not what those people do.

*shrug* some people just don't know how to play their heroes at all so.

Belis - tough luck, sometimes solo que does that :X just gotta finish fast and go new

This was on AU/SEA, so there's a reasonable chance that they were actually chinese. Noted, though. I wasn't aware it was a trend.

Also, game after that had 4 lane supports and a bristle who thought he was indestructible. He wasn't. Game after that, 5 carry. I think I'm done for tonight.

I don't know if I just had one of my worst games, or what.

Went 0-11-10 as Rhasta buying all courier/wards for the team that had an ancients medusa, a solo safe clinkz, gyro mid, and an omni with me bot lane. I'm still not sure how we won tbh...

My main account randomed things like Bloodseeker, Spiritbreaker, Chen, and Sniper on a frequent and (highly) statistically improbable basis. One smurf gets all the supports. This one gets Weaver, Gyro, and Chaos Knight.

i can confirm - there is nothing '''random'' about the random button.
randoming two heroes twice each in 6 consecutive games is almost impossible in a pool of ~100 heroes
and yet it happens all the time for me

So I get captain for the first time. Once I realize I'm picking i slam down a batrider ban and start asking people what they want.

Turns out I'm matched with a 4 stack. Pretty good. Only they are Russian. Alright they speak some English and lets not be racist here...

Opposing team bans Magnus. I counter with a Nyx ban.

My team demands Ursa first pick. I'm like, I can pick him later...
Also demands Warlock since one of the guys want to play him, and another wants Shadow Shaman. Seems more legit.

Since I'm running out of time I pick Warlock.
Oppo picks Lifestealer and QOP.

I start asking if we want a mid hero to counter what they picked, they keep spamming "Ursa". One guy wants Venomancer.
Since it looks like I really have to pick Ursa I pick SS and Venomancer.
Enemy team picks up Dark Seer.
I ban the shit out of team fight controllers with Enigma, Tide and someone else I can't remember.
I then pick Ursa since I have no other suggestions.
Now the want Faceless Void (synergy?)
Enemy know whats up and pick up Jakiro and Rubick for some controll.

I finally convince them to not go void and either get Gyro, or Luna since I think we need some ranged carry and someone who can offlane.

We go into lane. I humbly suggest about 5 times that we trilane Ursa, Veno and SS and let Warlock mid with Luna on the offlane (perhaps not to good but I can't think of anything better).

They demand Luna solo mid, I guess I can do that if I play really safe versus QOP.

They then put Warlock top with SS and a semi jungle Ursa and Venomancer offlane (?!)

Lanes are then:
Darkseer vs Warlock and SS (Ursa)
(Ursa jungle)
QOP vs Luna mid.
Lifestealer bottom freefarming while supports pull and stack (I think, I was preoccupied not getting killed by QOP).

In the end we lose even though we put up a decent fight in the midgame. Luna is not a great solo ganker with QOP mid and I don't really feel I can get the DS top and Veno can't really help me get the Lifestealer bottom. QOP gets off a few ganks even tho I call miss a million times, at least I get decent farm.

In the end we lose and it's all my fault because I never ganked...

Love captains mode allready. :D

bullshit, i solo cap mode all the time, it has turned into some great games and made a lot of friends doing it.
The trick is if you are cap (and your team is full of idiots only) just pick a team you think is good vs theirs. If you're cap and your team isnt stupid (not asking for you to get ursa.....) then listen and pick a good team
If you dont get cap, sit back and enjoy because theres very little you can do

Hey, I played CM today. Got matched with 4 Russians. Only one of them spoke English. They gave me Lina, I bought wards, sentries, both couriers and proceeded to crush the opposition, upon which they yell in the mic "LINA YOU ARE SUPPORT NOT CARRY!!!", we won, and it was a pretty good game actually, but it was hilarious how angry they were at me all the time. Now I know what the lonely Russian in every team feels like when everyone yells at him and expecting him to be terrible.

I randomed alch three times in a row once.
I hate alch.

Anyway. 7 game loss streak. Maybe one or two we could have won if not for me fucking up but "not my fault mang". PA who goes first item RoH, QoP who maxes shadow strike, Mangix who build battlefury(he got it fairly fast actually lol) disrupter who built bloodstone riki who goes basher first and not diffusal because "lifestealer already has a slow", attempted bfly venge, my bear doesn't need items LD, fuck engaging with ult naga lets build vanguard aghs razor. Sigh I'm mad and sad and bad. T.T

/agree

Just had a solo queue captain's mode where I captained. My team literally didn't say anything during the draft, except one guy who spoke up only at the end. I drafted pretty well and my team generally played it out well. It was a really good game--one of the better ones that I've played in solo queue in general.
