Yeah I think that's my main issue, but I've been having trouble figuring out how to make that better. When I played BW/SC2 I would find the weakest point in my play and just focus solely on that for like ten games or something and ignore nearly everything else and then come out much stronger in that area overall, but for some reason that seems a lot harder to do in Dota.

If that is the method you prefer to take, I would suggest playing the same hero, or at least the same role for consecutive games in order to focus on certain parts at a time. It will be less fun, but if you really want to improve and that is the methodology that works for you it should help.
Another thing that has really helped me in the past is watching pro player streams. If nothing else it can give you a fresh perspective on how some heroes can be played in a (hopefully) efficient way.

i used to die a lot too, but i practiced myself to play carry in pubs even though i play hard support in my team. it forces me to be really aware of the map and not die. because dying as carry has huge ramifications to the outcome of the game.

Consider that since you start with the Stout, finishing Vanguard is like 550 gold more than Treads. 4:30 Treads in safe lane is pretty reasonable, and Vanguard is just a kill + Devour gold more than that. If you need the regen for Doom in the jungle (I guess...I feel like his W should keep you well stocked, and a bottle for Jungle doom might make sense - even traquils would be okay for awhlie because you devour the biggest creep anyways, so the regen stays on, and vlads is very good on doom)... Jungle Doom doesn't actually want to use Scorched Earth that often because it kills your mana. Hence my justification for either tranquils or bottle being okay on him. (i'm actually a bit in love with the tranquils idea, might try it out).
Maybe, but tbh once you get the Ring of Health + stout shield you can jungle without worrying about dying to creeps and just use your mana for devour. This comes online way before your tranquil's would, and doesn't cost you mana. The bottle just seems like a waste of money because it's going to fall off very quick with little return IMO for a jungle Doom.

Thanks for proving this isn't much better than reddit. He called you out in the kindest, most respectful way that you can. he wasnt even insulting you or making fun of you, just pointing out that in this instance, there is stuff you could have done better, The post I didn't have the problem with. It was all the idiots afterwards yelling OOOH BURNED SERVED HUEHUEHUEE They make fun of reddit for circlejerking but tl does it too.
Why'd you remove me from your friends list?

This is a new one. Our mid player at one point types out (exact quote): "mmm" A few seconds later I get ganked by I think it was a night stalker. I ask our mid where the missing call was. He said the missing call was this mysterious "mmm." Apparently it means Man Missing Mid. You learn and rage at something new every day.

i abandoned the last game i played because i decided that copping the leave was preferable to staying in the game for another 20 minutes and dying repeatedly.
after losing the previous game from repeatedly getting 3 man ganked mid as sf while the sidelines farmed but subsequently failed to do much, that was it. not worth putting myself through more trauma.

The bottle just seems like a waste of money because it's going to fall off very quick with little return IMO for a jungle Doom. Tranquil effective regen is actually much higher than RoH though, and the crucial bit is that Tranquils gives you a lot more MS AND armor, 2 stats you desperately need. An RoH Doom can pretty much only dead-farm jungle which just isn't very good in pubs because you need to help your team start winning early. Tranquils Doom can gank with a consumed Ursa, Centaur, or Troll, because with the MS advantage of Tranquil's over any boots other than Phase or Travels, you can set up the close range disables.
Bottle is not wasted on Doom because of how mana-gated the hero is, the Bottle is still good all the way into the midgame and pretty much every Rune other than Illusion is good for Doom.

I will typically go stout -> RoH -> either finish Vanguard or build Phase boots, then finish the other off -> Radiance -> into whatever like AC and Heart.
You feel stout -> Tranquil is the way to go?

razor/lion manages to feed a solo slark 6/0 in the first 10min of the game. that has to be some kind of record. ugh...why do i get teams like this )=

good games so far in a day, no idiots
suddenly russian ta no trap ck with casual pers maelstrom basher bloodseeker
lol

If you don't have the fucking time to play, DON'T FUCKING JOIN THE MATCH.

GOD DAMN WHY DO THESE PEOPLE EVEN EXIST?!
Game 1: http://i.imgur.com/4Gp3cx6.jpg
Single Draft, get Naga, doing pretty well even if Rubick refuses to stop contesting my last hits, should be able to win this if we can keep PL down and actually push, oh wait our Brew has bought 6 Stout Shields and has gone Woods. gg
Next game after that: http://i.imgur.com/XbsJFOY.jpg
Single Draft again, grab Bane to support a bot tri lane, team tells me to go mid vs Bloodseeker instead while they 2/1/2 it, fine - hardly ideal but I can do that and WR and Lion can be supports for Clinkz and Jugg respectively, shouldn't go too wrong should it? WRONG!!! HOW ABOUT 12 DEATHS BY 10 MINUTES FROM TOP AND BOTTOM WITH NO BLOODSEEKER GANKS WHILE I'M THE ONLY GUY WHO CAN GET A FUCKING KILL ON MY TEAM!!! OH AND AS A BONUS LION AND WR CAN'T EVEN BUY A WARD BETWEEN THEM.
FUCK. SAKE.
I think the moment I lost all faith in humanity is when I nightmared Abaddon, Windrunner proceeded to immediately power shot him then throw the Shackle as nightmare ended except it obviously didn't latch as she'd just fucking power shotted the trees.
I don't even have a comms ban but I can see how people get them. WHY DO THESE WANKERS EVEN PLAY.

Nothing makes me rage more than the picking stages because a lot of games are won or lost there. Sure, sometimes you can have a chit picks but the players are much better (or their team just sucks) and still win, but its rare. My friend who has well over 1,000 + games finally rage quit and installed the game because of it yesterday. We will see how long that lasts lawl

Apparently I lost so much (probably about 40 wins, 60 losses in my last 100 games) that I'm back in the "trench". Makes me cry. I literally had a guy who was auto attacking in lane last night. That's got to be. . .like. . .bottom 20% of players or something, if not worse. Not wishing to be a jerk or anything, but there is definitely a LOT more Cyrillic in chat now. . .
Guess I need to stop sucking and start winning or something. : /

had someone yell at me for pushing down a tier 1 tower because "kills are more valuable"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Had the worst void in my game today, THE WORST. He had about 30 minutes of free farm, and only had midas, treads and MoM. After this point he would never team fight with us, but go in solo for chronos and then die without even getting a kill. I was stacking ancients and he used chrono in an attempt to kill them. I'm not a really high level player but I don't understand why he was in my game, he was literally as bad as the carries in my first few games of dota.

If my ally misses every last hit, whatever maybe it's a new hero or he tried to get away with less stats, but it can happen. When my ally auto attacks, that's just not knowing how to play the game. I wish that the DOTA MMR system had a way to check if people auto attack creeps within the first few minutes of the game and immediately cut their MMR in half.
