yeah, especially when he is offlane and starts feeding after he leaves the lane. between slark, alch and LD i'd say necro is hardly a carry.  fun fact though - same necro was in my next game and i did end up carrying his ass from the offlane with armlet PA. | ||

You have to keep in mind with your 5-1 lane that every other team has the same problem you do. The other team's other two lanes won handily by the sounds of it, why should they lose just because some other lane fed five kills? | ||

my argument here is that necrolyte is generally a shitty carry and especially with this draft and lanes we had | ||

Me: Watch out, their supports just got a fresh stack sentry wards a minute ago Idiot Riki: No they don’t, I just checked their inventory. Clearly he has never played support. Me: Riki, don’t go first, if they have dust, they will nuke you down. Come in after I frost path them. Idiot Riki: I am scouting. (we can see 4 of them on the mini map, one is dead) And finally: Me: Man, you are playing with fire their Riki(he is running between 4 heroes on the other side of the river. We are pushing up mid) Idiot Riki: Its fine, just worry about yourself. Seven seconds pass. Riki Dies. Idiot Riki: Puck has gem(no one else on the team can stealth) | ||

Alchemist can honestly support before necro can imo. Anyway QQ: Ogre magi on our team goes to gank mid. He gets spotted but dives tower anyway when our creep wave is still on our team's side of the river. It's 2 minutes into the game so obviously he dies. *Ping ping ping ping* "Well played!" *abandons game* Guess I shoulda suicided with him to give shadow fiend the double kill. The game actually went to 50 minutes with us way ahead in kills, but we could deal with the splitpush from prophet or leave our base so we got throned. | ||

If WD hadn't ruined the lanes you probably would've had a level advantage and had a pretty dominant midgame assuming everything didn't go horribly wrong, if anything you were lacking in the support department which often increases the chances of everything going horribly wrong early. I'm not a huge fan of 1 position Mirana either, but with a dual or tri-core (if anything your lineup was quad-core) you don't need the hardest carry in order to win as long as either your cores all do reasonably well or one of them happens to snowball ahead. I understand that with random pubs that "finishing early" can be a pretty huge ask, but I just wanted to point out that (in my opinion) the lack of carries was not necessarily a problem with your picks. Full disclosure: Other team had Luna, PL, Jug. Luna mid, solo PL (that WD was granting freefarm) and an aggressive ES/Abaddon/Jug trilane on their offlane. They basically had both midgame and lategame locked down. >_> Just out of curiosity, how did you build BH in that match? Because in that position I would probably forgo damage items in favour of relatively cheap items that help in teamfights (medallion, drums, aquila/vlads) and try to get the team to group up and take towers early so that the harder carries on the other team don't get the space they need to become scary. I know making this happen with random pubs is pretty unlikely, but if you're not liking the way the game is panning out, might as well try to get it finished sooner rather than later. I just did my usual build- Phase, Urn, Drums. But with no farm and against the other team being three levels down...eh. | ||

Playing this game in a 5 stack is ideal especially if everyone is communicating through skype or teamspeak. | ||

This was a very high skill bracket game too. Needless to say we were pretty annoyed after the game. I really wish Valve would at least give us some private MMR statistics, because from my point of view it really looks like they go out of their way to pair you with bad teammates the more you win. | ||

-enemy team instantly randoms SB, LS, Bat, Tuskar, picks Drow- + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/184/961/tumblr_lnvvueuSsj1qcj56b.png) fine, whatever. Maybe my teammates will be fine, maybe we can still wi- Tuskar camps mid, because Batrider needed an even bigger advantage against me (stormspirit) BH builds Bfury, doesn't finish by minute 40 Alchemist goes Soul Ring, Ring of Health, Hyperstone, Chainmail + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://homework.never-ends.net/wp-content/uploads/picard-facepalm.jpg) next game: play the infamous 1-protect-4 strat, gank, buy wards etc. 3 heroes buy shadow blades, the 4th is Nyx. Enemy team buys gem. Game was good, and then we lost. + Show Spoiler + [image blocked] | ||

Basically meant I did literally nothing during my first life. Also that last duel with PA was ridiculous, it seemed like she had a magic pixel of health that just wouldn't go away (and she already used Satanic).http://dotabuff.com/matches/282628565 [EDIT] And then I get randomly hooked twice early on as Tinker, barely not counter-killing the Pudge, then every time I try to go gank he's magically there, and I end up going 0-10 and losing the game. Fuck. | ||

Brazilian potm didn't know that when you arrow a sleeping target she doesn't get slept (wtf?) (me and sb were so confused) Np has never played np before (he had like 1.5k games played 0 on np...) and proceeds to get wrecked on the solo safe lane by ds. Nyx goes Dagon 5 no blink... Oh well this is why I last pick or 4th pick sb in every solo q cm game... Somehow managed to win once np learned what teleport does and we got some nice vision of their t2s so me sb Nyx and np just went around 4 manning while dodging fights while our potm afk farmed a 30 minute manta while not carrying a tp... | ||

I'm beginning to think I'm bugged, since English was rarely spoken to me this week. This. It's been absolutely terrible these last 2 weeks or so. US East has turned into the South American server. It's about 20% English and 80% mixed of something else. Even Chinese speakers are more common than English speakers. I suppose it doesn't matter whether my noob allies can understand me or not but it brings a different level of frustration. On a completely different note ... about the MMR... I started 2 "smurf" accounts about 8 months ago. I rarely play on them but I have since accumulated over 100 games on both accounts. On these smurfs I try to secure a mid lane controller if possible, then carry, and support as a last option. (i just refuse to play support on these low level accounts) Maybe the sample size is still not large enough but I have a 66% winrate on one of these smurfs and only 41% on the other. On my 41% account, i have only won 5 out of the last 21 games. These statistics probably don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. It may suggest that there is a lot of variance in both the match making system as well as an individual's performance. For some context, my main account has 1400+ games played at 53% winrate. All games were solo queue. | ||

It did get me to look up Lycan jungle guides so if I get him again I can do it properly, then I went into games with just bots until I got the basics of it down. Just really shitty to get him in a AR game, I felt so trolled T_T I guess I got a legit qq game from today. I was playing AR again and got Undying. Got him down pretty well and got the Lich I was laning with a lot of kills over the game. We were doing well until people just started pushing at random, or I would initiate and everyone else would run away. The Earthshaker on my team would also just rush into the enemy team 1v3 and shit, not waiting for everyone else. Eventually they got fed from all the throws and just pushed mid and won. So frustrating. | ||
