SEA Server still laggy, Installed WTFast to help, didn't help at all. Got forced to leave. Looked up US West for a game and man, laned against a tiny and a centaur and it was ugly, toss stomp = dead vs. Back to Low Priority Queue again. | ||

Tiny/Centaur is a strong laning combo that you have to play incredibly safely against because they can go for kills from seemingly nothing. Only start being a bit more daring once you notice Tiny's mana starting to hurt as he is very mana-dependent early game. Once he has Arcanes you may have to completely abandon the lane though. Just try not to die and get XP, go to jungle or tell your lane partner to try and win the 4v3 in the rest of the game. As for your first question, solo matchmaking puts you in games with only other solo people, whereas queuing in normal matchmaking can put you with/against stacks. | ||

So sick of losing games while people lose a lane 3v1 and then blame mid for not ganking or something. It's silly. Playing with DK, CM and Jakiro go to safelane with me. Yurnero solo offlane, CM don't know how to make pull and don't stack or push another camp, Jakiro don't know how to zone, suddenly we take their tower and Jugger is level 6. Since we don't have more tower they get out of the lane letting DK level 4 vs Jugger level 6. Oh boy... | ||

Cuz I've always gone to "Public Match Making" and look up games from there. | ||

But no, that was intentional. He explained that he was rushing arcanes. Like wtf?? Of course he proceeded to steal last hits (well, actually it's more wasting last hits since he prevented both of us from getting it) to get his beloved arcanes, then naturally he continued with pushing the wave with poison+ random auto attacks. At least you could think that he would get some harass this way but no, he was never stacking poison more than 2 times. I tried to keep my calm and just explain why all of this was bad, but he started to argue with me (and the rest of the team). Apparently he was really confident in what he was doing... This guy had 600 wins... how can you be so clueless after spending 1000+ hours on a game? If was not a big suprise that his most played heroes were bloodseeker spirit breaker and drow ranger... | ||

Once I actually played "support" PL after the shadow shaman kept insisting on last hitting. No points in hex. So I'm like screw this, let him carry. I upgraded courier, got wards and whatever. Didn't even care enough to be frustrated about it, or try to have pointless arguments with them. Game ended before I could complete mek haha. I've also played support BH, but that was out of necessity. We had AM to carry anyway, and my job was to prevent the opponent Cancer Lancer from getting fat. Our bane repeatedly sleeping the targets we're attacking, even after being told not to do so. So frustrating. I ended the game with only 3 kills; but more importantly, the PL only had 252 gpm with tranq boots, drums, and diffusal at the end of a 44 minute game. Warded his jungle and track the fuck outta him. Our AM ate so much he was fucking obese! (in a good way of course) | ||

Or, when my team consists of 5 carries, and someone blames me for not having as many kills or last hits as my team mates... which means people obviously do not understand basic economy in dota. Or when someone plays a carry and gets a positive score for the first time in his life and proceeds to blame the rest of the team for not being as skilled... as if it's difficult to play a carry in a pub game. Or, when someone thinks the team needs a TANK, as if we're playing World of Warcraft. Or, when someone last picks Spirit Breaker, Sniper, Bloodseeker or any other dumb pubstomp hero when we have 4 carries because they saw someone get 40-0 with it, but they proceed to feed. | ||

Not to mention people NEVER carrying a TP (which is double frustrating if you yourself spend countless gold on them thinking it will pay for itself when you tp to a tower for ganks, to save people who are being dived or for teamfights. But end up not because of the reason just mentioned), not knowing how to counter invis (Here's a protip: if you're barathrum and up against 4 invis heroes..GET SOME FUCKING DUST!!!!111oneone), and not understanding how important warding is. "Dude, you have leik no farm noobz", that SURELY isn't because the enemy team constantly tries to gank me whenever I poke my nose out into a lane, and I never see them coming because there haven't been placed a single ward the entire game?!".. I'm not expecting people to play perfectly every game, I sure have my bad moments too. But its incredibly frusrating playing with people who apparantly have +1200 games and doesn't know the basics of the basics yet. | ||

http://dotabuff.com/matches/196342059 That's the worst game I've played in months. I felt like I was going to vomit. I'm going to wait for Keita League, and if that isn't any better than IXDL I'll wait for Valve to fix the mmr or go play something else. | ||

He ended the game with a power treads, a wand, and a soul ring (and a shitpile of deaths). Guess his cs after 40 minutes? ->35 | ||

Seriously, couldnt play too much this week, and every single game was complete shit : - all random magic (4 intel with bad disable1 bad carry vs a metagame pick), but my mates dont want to play in all pick - invoker pick repick meepo. Twice : one time mysefl, one time a friend. No I don't know how to play Invoker and Meepo; nor did he. See also the line above. - games were I couldnt for the fuck of me place myself correctly in any single fucking fights, ramboing them carries or completely ruining my team's engagement - countless opponent's heros running away with 10 hp or less (OR LESS) when kills are crucial and the only way to stay in game against a vastly superior lineup - games were I buy over 9000 wars and sentries just to watch my team being raped away from the wards every time, staying at brown boots for 45 minutes - a game with warlock against Rubick (I love this hero as much as I hate playing against him) - then just after a game against warlock so I could ask myself why the fuck my ulti would do no damage in our previous game while this warlock trishotted me and 2 mates with his own ult like 4 times, ending up carrying his team with a 32 min agh/refresh - countless keyboard/buttons brainfarts (pressing t instead of r for the entire duration of fight is not the way to set up a good ulti ; also stun then blink on ennemy is bad) - putting wards in stupid spot because of being a complete retard and cannot even explain why (hello tower, take this sentry, it costed me 200 gold I just farmed with tremendous difficulties in the wood because it is infested with Bounty Hunters and I have a shitty support completely naked at 15 minutes of game) - putting up a perfect 4 man black hole during a crucial push, our Mag skewer in .... aaaaaaaaaaand he has not enough mana to RP, full team dead on our side, 4 100 hp heroes running away with their gold on their side. - and when we won, it wasnt funny because it was a complete stomp, to the point I was asking myself if the opponents just installed the game. I might not play another game this week, it seems I enjoy watching games but I cant enjoy playing them. Should take a break of dota for a moment. | ||

We had a furion off in forest freefarming. The dude speaks little to no english as far as I can tell. He starts off with a basi (which he leaves on) and 2 clarities. For about the first 30 minutes of the game he didn't even port in to defend towers and shit, instead preferring to sit on top of the ward spot and attack the radiant hard camp (he was farming the other jungle as well). I'm playing rubick, trying hard to keep myself alive with what feels like 27 gpm as well as keeping up wards, sentries, etc. I figure the game is lost once their drow ranger comes online and starts raping us. Nope Furion comes out the forest with somethink like daedelus, bkb, orchid, treads. Proceeds to kick the shit out of basically their entire team while I try (and fail) to steal tides ult for like the fortieth fucking time. I owe you an apology random italian furion. You are a good carry and a gentleman. | ||
