Bloody hell what is it with pings? Sometimes I feel I would benefit more from muting pings then the actual person. They can go the entire game without speaking a word, yet alt-click me to unheard levels of frustration.

had my first case of sidelane snatching the courier. Mid Invoker, I got my Midas at 6:30, put it on courier and send it my way

"flying courier please" - nothing. fine, whatever, it's a short distance. Nope, jungling Lycan took the courier and made it go the long way around - for his boots.

...we proceeded to fight over the courier for about a minute, effectively delaying my midas by a full minute and half or so. I don't even care that we won & that lycan carried, that was still annoying as fuck. Also the support didn't buy any wards/detection that entire game, and the Lycan played turkish music randomly.

10 minutes in: CM: "report storm no gank"

I said 20 times I wouldn't bother ganking his lane until he bought a set of wards. Nope. Just kept bitching.


see this is funny because you should have both been ganking

not only that, it's in your interest to gank his lane. Sure, he may be an asshole that can't play (since a CM that doesn't buy wards probably doesn't know how to play CM) but it's still in your best interest to gank his lane - hell, even buy wards yourself.

It's better for the team...individually it's more in my interest to keep farming mid considering a successful kill (which isn't even guaranteed) is worth what....2 -3 creep waves early on? That's about how much you'd miss going for a kill without haste anyway, not to mention failing means you've probably boned yourself in the mid lane.

If supports don't ward I almost never gank the sidelane they're in lol. One of those "I'm not helping you if you're gonna play like a selfish asshole" sentiments.


By helping your team you help yourself

I'm not saying to gank religiously, of course you need to know when to gank and when to keep farming, but to think strictly "nope won't gank no matter what because you're an asshole" is ultimately to hurt yourself

If people play selfishly I just start to focus on my individual performance more than I do the team. I ifind all pick in general people just tend to pick whatever hero they feel like and play individually. Not saying theres anything wrong with it, as long as you're not bitching out your teammates to help you.

Besides, pub AP the laning phase breaks down pretty quickly anyway


Problem is when you do that, ya you "get back" at the selfish player, but you also punish the rest of your team.
This isn't applicable to your case but too many games were ruined by idiots/pansies who get mad at 1 teammate and throw it for the rest of us. Worst one was when a support took a jungle creep kill from a carry and guy announced he will afk farm jungle all game since he doesn't wanna carry us noobs. lost a won game

All pick.

Our lineup? I've purged it from my memory. All I know is that one of my teammates instalocked Antimage. I say to myself "Okay, this can go one of two ways. Either he knows what the fuck he's doing and picked Antimage because he knows what the fuck he's doing... or he's watched someone who knows what the fuck they're doing play AM on a stream and noted that AM just kills everyone eventually, and it looks pretty easy." So I cross my fingers and hope for option 1, pick a CM and see what I can do to make space for him to farm.

When we lost, I bothered to look at his CS. In a 38 minute game was an astounding 65. Which, to be fair, was 14 CS more than I got as the position 5 support.
I'm actually Fleetfeet D:

Dominate the early game as axe, just ganking left and right GOOD DAY SIRS and what have you. Had a wonderful time in the jungle too. Hit lv6 at like 4 minutes(the rngesus was with me)

Too bad we pick an all carry line up other than axe. got shat up late game despite pl having free farm. Valve, give axe a meaningfull buff so he's relevant in the lategame please? T_T
strength growth to 3, counterhelix reduces armor by 2 per spin at lv4. Done, fixed.

Well, at least I culling bladed a guy with shallow grave on. GOOD DAY SIR

Here's my rage:
I get into a solo queue single draft game. end up with jakiro. one of my teammates picks Lion.
he's level 2. he has 9 wins. he pretty obviously has no idea what he's doing.
And pink, a Slardar who I had been laning with, flames him and tells him to abandon. He admits that it's not rational but he just wants him to.
He does end up abandoning, going 1/7/1. We had been on a tilt up until that point because of Lion. We ended up much better as 4v5, and won.
And my team still was angry and Lion and pink still wanted to report him for intentionally feeding.
I think I managed to convince him not to. I don't know for sure.
But jesus christ I'm pissed as shit. What the fuck is with this matchmaking? Is Valve serious with this shit?

Three randoms; enchantress, gyro, centaur. Ok, sure. Gyro and cent are talking, seem switched on. Good stuff.

Enchantress says nothing, waits until 0:15 and repicks into BH, after we've already arranged for another solo offlane precisely because there was an enchantress. FFFFF.

Last guy still hasn't picked at 0:05, hasn't said anything. Finally responds.
Gyro, cent and I, "Please take a support."
"Ok."
*silence for another 30s*
"They have lots of carries, I should carry."
"No! We really need a support."
*silence*
"Ok."
*silence*
By now we've been paused for about three minutes while this dude scratches his balls.

Finally picks Razor. "I carry." Goes to gyro's lane. FFFFFFF.

And then the BH who repicked from enchantress afks at 10 minutes. Oh, and nobody bought courier.

What a waste of freaking time.

So I'm playing Dragon Knight on hardlane with a Clockwerk (don't ask). The Clockwerk is both lagging and lacking in brains so neither of us get any significant farm at all. We have a Rubick, but he doesn't buy wards, so I pick up some (the thanks from our mid almost made it worthwhile). A while into the game I look at Rubick and find he has... a soul booster. This is his only item.

Me: "Uh... rubick, why haven't you been buying wards? You have twice my net worth"
Him: "I bought courier at the start and upgraded it, then we were losing fights so I had to get my core"
Me: "...we might not have lost fights if you'd warded, but whatever. What are you going to do with the mana from a bloodstone? There's nothing you can steal on their team that uses much mana, and all you ever steal is pudge's hook and fail with it anyway"
His buddy: "He's been playing rubick for two weeks straight so he's much better at the hero than you"
Him: "Trust me, I will spend the mana"
Me: "..." figuring I don't need a mute from annoying a stack.

Sure enough, even though he never finished the bloodstone I don't believe he ever successfully spent even a third of his total mana.

If Rubick wasn't my most-played hero by a significant margin this would hurt me less.

Watching my noob trash can tier friend play a TA with MAX MELD into MAX PSI BLADES
with 0 in refraction and 0 in trap at level 8.
Yes he is that shit tier. He has no clue how to pull neutrals.

He dares to lecture me about Dota. Lol.. Nubs are always so sure of themselves.
Long since I queued with him and never will queue with him ever, LOL

No thanks! He is already too strong in some of those early lanes. Best used if you have a strong push lineup.

Just nerf his early game to compensate. It's just insane how much he drops off.

^is bloodstone Rubick an actual thing? it sounds like such a dumb item build for Rubick. Is it the recommended item build by Valve or something?

What's even more hilarious is that he didn't break up the arcane boots to make the soul booster. Also you can tell when you get out of shitter mmr when alchemists stop going ring of health into vanguard.

Is it aHoN thing? My HoNtrash friend always builds bloodstone on literally any int hero if he thinks he can get it before 30 minutes. He randomed Ogre once so we went as a roaming pair, but as soon as he got 2 kills he said "fuck bro I'm snowballing hard, I'm gonna build bloodstone." He also thinks it's core on Zeus.
We don't play together any more.

Rubick doesn't exist in HoN so I doubt it. Bloodstone is one of the standard Valve items for Rubick I think.

Bloodstone is a Dota thing. It's in part because it used to be a better item, but it's also just a convenient item. It gives a little bit everything an Perseverance is one of the most convenient items in the game.

It's not very good at all, but you see people getting BS in anything that wants to get tanky or needs regen in pubs.
