I think it was pretty good as it was when you could simply mute the annoying person. I apparantly got muted for telling a guy that he was bad (he was), I mean c'mon I'd understand if I was swearing or something, telling the truth shouldn't mean I get muted. So annoying to play without being able to chat. How socially acceptable would it be to tell a teammate in a soccer game "You are bad" in the middle of the game? It's pretty clear that calling people bad is not acceptable according to valve (or societal standards). If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all  | ||

I pick Lina other guy gets Tide. BH demands solo offlane and that we trilane. Fine. I go to minute 1 stack, messed up pull. Try again at second minute it won't stack. Figure I messed up my pull again. Try again. No luck. Get sentries and deward the ward that was in the camp itself. Still won't stack. Try to search for other ward blocking but its just not happening. Their undying drops so its 5v4 in our favour. However by now its eight minutes into the game. Our lane has been pushed to hell thanks to autoattacking. Tide is doing precisely sod all to help me actually sort this bloody camp out. I'm half way to level 2 whilst everyone else is starting to hit around 6 or so. Then juggernaut decides to single pull the camp pushing the lane even harder. I totally give up and start trying to clear a couple of creep camps. It takes a few trips back to the shop but I finally get myself a wand and boots and around level 4 (everyone else is hitting 10). Somehow I start to catch up mainly because I'm farming whilst everyone else is playing the game of "lets dance around in front of each other doing nothing". My team starts feeding. I finish with the highest number of kills on the team. BH finishes 1-6 from a solo offlane. Worst part? This is in the "High" bracket. I get better games on my other account in normal. -_- i'm sure you realize this, but not being able to de-ward properly is a big mistake on your part. personally i bring this map up on my second monitor whenever i play support (because i don't have the exact spawn boxes for every camp memorized yet) to make sure i don't block my camps with a sentry when trying to de-ward them. being able to see the spawn boxes like this also shows you which directions will be easier to pull the camp in order to stack it - which is especially useful to know if you happen to get to a camp a second or two late. pulling in a certain direction may allow you to stack the camp at x:55 because of how the spawn boxes are unevenly placed over the camps. http://i.imgur.com/YwK9VRc.jpg | ||

BTW when you see people with 20 wins that are fucking bad in very high, I don't really see how you can defend valve's matchmaking. I have 3 accounts in very high and this pretty much sums up the experience. If you think you're bad because you're in normal? don't fret, the bracket system is completely bullshit and arbitrary (unless for maybe the .1% top players in the top of the top.) The difference between a normal game and a v.high game? 9/10 times I bet you cant tell. And neither can I. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/z34lE9El.jpg) This was one of my 4 carries. Her skill build pretty much sums up MY ENTIRE TEAM(I was mag). Just look at our setup! Qop destroyed the game for me by "dual laning" mid after I was stationed there. Invoker picked last and went offlane with him against kotl + pl  MM is seriously fucked, there's no way in hell im this low, I have a friggen 52,5% w/l after 400 games! I fucking loath this game sometimes... I swear to every deity that is, I'm never gonna solo que again! | ||

It's a team game, and just like in any team game, you are not contributing positively to your team by saying "you are bad". In fact, you are just making the team worse by bringing negativity in the game. As sn0 said, if you don't have anything important to say, don't say it. They are bad? Keep that to yourself, point out his mistakes(politely) and that's it. Going "You are bad" over and over is just stupid. In fact, I QQd about someone who did just that a few pages back. Annoying as fuck. | ||

Would someone do something stupid in real life after being told repetedly it's dumb, I wouldn't mind pointing out the obvious, that they are indeed dumb. He was bad, you're bad, I'm bad, we're all bad. Every1 outside of the pro scene is bad, some are just worse than others. Sure, you probably feel you're good compared to him, but theres thousands upon thousands of players who would make you look absolutely silly and you'd probably have a shitty game if they were constantly on your ass about playing bad. I don't see why so many people are inclined to call out players worse than them, or why they somehow feel being an asshole to somebody will make that person start playing better all of a sudden. I also don't understand why so many people feel like other players are obligated to listen to their advice. The nerve on them for not playing the way you want them to play, right? So yea, I guess people like you are my QQ for today. | ||

Besides, I'll be the first to say if someone does something good, I just try to highlight the good things they do and (usually) be nice and help them with stuff they do not so good. I feel like some people needs to be told in a very blunt way since they don't seem to understand if you don't. | ||

Besides, I guess we just differ in oppinion here, after I have given someone enough chances I feel it can be in it's place to tell them how I really feel, I guess you don't. Besides snO man, I act pretty much the same way irl. I will be nice to people since I don't know them, but if they prove to be an idiot, I won't mind letting them know. | ||

And you are allowed to play with those completely strangers for long? That's just annoying behavior, it's killing the fun of everyone. And you are removed. Or at least told to stfu. The same way you are removed/muted in Dota. You have to earn the right to criticize someone. And that normally doesnt happen during one dota game. Especially not when it's retarded criticism "you are bad" instead of constructive one. And no - complimenting isnt allowing you to be a dick. Apart from that, criticizing wont make the people play better. It's even putting them in the defensive position and probably makes them play worse / not care anymore about the current game. So you are hurting the whole team if you cannot just stfu. | ||
