on the subject of russians sucking - I just played two games. First game was entirely with english speakers, they were all horrible. Absolutely terrible mechanics + desicion making. 2nd game, all russian team. They fucking RAPED. What does that mean?

absolutely fucking nothing. Each ethnicity has it's own bad and good players, and despite them not speaking a speck of english, they still managed to do teamwork well via pings and common sense.

The bad part was that Nyx and SF fought over mid until the laning phase ended. They won mid, too. Not sure how.

Get into a game, random Chen. Cool, I get to show off my new smeevil crab. Head to jungle.

Guy who instapicked lifestealer types "wood" into chat. Spam pings at me while sitting in one of the camps before neutrals spawn. Our shadow demon tells him to leave jungle for me. Replies in russian over voice chat.

queued with a friend, ap, almost all my team randoms and we get a fairly good lineup, me viper safe lane with rhasta and spiritbreaker pulling, troll goes mid and mirana offlane, game started fairly even, freefarming top but mirana got destroyed bot by rubick/nyx and spectre,
game goes on and their slark feeds and is just generally bad, their puck is playing very well and pretty much carrying their team,
there are teamfights all the time and by 20 min when i get bkb, its been 40 kills and it keeps that pace all game,
but when we get into mid game and we start losing fights because apparently troll thinks it's a good idea to solo split push and die constantly.
It's fairly even and we would probably win teamfights if he would help, i ask him to do that, he responds with "fuck you you bitch",
he then proceeds to do nothing contructive for about 40 minutes of a 60 minute game and when we def throne he tp's to the enemy base and tries to take rax, he dies, ends up with 20 deaths, as a carry..

It seems that whenever I have a good game, dota2 network decides to die and not record it or something. Blah.

Ugh, why is MM so hot and cold, it just seems wrong from one game to the next having a safelane jugg on your team who farms a bfury in 11 minutes (awesome pub standard) to an am the next game who tries to emulate BurNing 1/1/1/1 + Stats and has boots quelling and ring of health in 14 minutes because he keeps dying 2v1 to a solo offlane BH.

And as far as supports go, a smoke ganking chen with above average macro abilities who has fast arc/mek/aghs, to a last picked windrunner who agreed to play the support role to 3.5 carries (which is a problem in itself), who insists "how can i buy ward with no money?" Meanwhile in his inventory at 35 minutes, Meka, Phase Boots, Wand, Force Staff. And of course when he gets called up on that his response is, how can I fight without items?

I refuse to believe at my level of MMR people don't understand the value of wards.... Especially against a roaming SB/Pudge. Just another arrogant dota player incapable of admitting he's wrong to strangers.

I think the severity of such shortcomings can be accredited to more than "I'm having a bad day"

Also you could be matched with people (or against people) who are having good/bad days

Compendium game: Radiant. As Kotl I head bot. Top lane Clock/Weaver who complain the entire time and both wanting to solo. Dark Seerer and I said we'd jungle, but they wanted to fight for top so we went bot. Mag mid after losing fight to go top lane. This is all before the 0:00 mark. Game goes horrid and clock spams stuff in spanish and says "team bad" after going in alone without anyone around him. "Team bad". He goes afk in jungle." I just have to stay of USW and only play USE & USW. Third game in a row like this one. :/

it feels like every np you play with afk farms, never helps gank/push and loses you the game while any enemy np is godlike and splitpushes you to death T_T

Why the soloque mode is infinitely long? Find match soloque MM doesn't provide even decent dota games. One would assume it's easier to match soloqued players.

Also what was the new mm change?

Lost access to my steam account. Pretty sure somebody stole it and changed the account email since it now leads to hotmail.co.uk. Taking steam/valve forever to restore it.
