Trilane it with LD offlane ftw. Sucks when at the start you already kjnow the game is lost though
obviously visage LD offlane, pudge mid, nyx razor safelane, LD gets fb'd in the first wave and goes to jungle, visage dies multiple times in the offlane. Was on nyx, had a okish game, LD was 0-6 at 35mins, never got phase on bear ;9
I solo offlane WR vs Solo Spectre. I draw first blood, then second blood, then their Undying rotates top and I kill Spectre AGAIN under his nose. I'm buying wards and upgrade the crow and brutally abusing WR's "is a ranged hero". I sit on Spectre so hard it takes her all game to recover, and even then she's the worst farm on her team.
I'm stacked with 3 of my friends. Death Prophet is being played by my long-time ally, Cruise-Out-Of-Control. Cruise is better than I am, so he goes mid and our other two friends go bottom. Despite a strong advantage early, Cruise draws mid against Rubick.
My other two friends are Wisp and Drow, laning bottom against Abaddon/Undying. undying teleports away pretty early on due to Spectre losing lane badly. So this is Wisp/Drow against solo Abaddon. They both feed, badly. Wisp has no relocates all game. 25 minutes in, drow has a broadsword and a morbid mask. Our pub doom rarely leaves the jungle and at least twice lets his ult get stolen by rubick. DP and I start ganking hard and push down all their outer towers with our ults and nukes. I blanket the map in wards and try to countergank as much as possible. I offer to build the mek since our wisp can't build it, but he says he really should, which is true. I make a sheep before he finished mek ._.
Ultimately, their team carries a bit harder than ours, but really, we never had a chance because of how badly we got outganked in the midgame. Our 2-shadow-blade team was hilarious, almost as hilarious as blink Drow. I know in part it's on me as the support player and the solo offlane to be all up in the enemy's business and to gank... that I should be able to convert a won lane top into a won lane in every lane by being all over the place... but man. My back is big, but it's not that big. I can't carry everything.
I joke with my friends that we should always stack as 4 so that when we lose we can blame the pub. But our pub, for all his flaws, didn't lose this game. My 2 friends did. The drow and the wisp.
all I can do after a game like that is listen to music
and hope for better days

You are saying its "pricy" for a carry to farm 3300 whereas WL (a support) will get Agh/Refresher (almost 10K worth).
also it's not like diffusal doesn't do other things. cool things.
today, people were mean to me. Mistakes were made but I can objectivly say that my team was made up entirely of retards, starting from the safelane warlock+lina (lina carry that rushed a naked energy booster), the "no items until 10 minutes because I'm rushing a naked blink" mid TA and the viper that admittably played well but was a gigantic cunt.
In case you're wondering my role - support Tiny. I was doing bad because I was 1-2-10.
the real question comes up next - do you fight with these people or do you just ignore them? I did a little bit of both and mostly decided to just not give a fuck, just play as well as I could and try to remain as friendly as possible. Not calling them out on their mistakes, not throwing a fit whenever something happened and just playing. Diiiiiiidn't really work, they just saw it as an incentive to shittalk me even more.

They're gonna shittalk anyway. You did the right thing IMO, but if people get in "that" mood it's hard to get them out of it while focusing on your game. In a situation like that, if they don't listen the first time you try to make peace, it's generally not worth the effort to keep trying to calm them down.
My main account is doing amazingly well at the moment (touch wood).
My other one...not so much. I literally just abandoned last game at about 5 minutes in. We got actually quite a good draft. I have Gyro, another has NP and Ursa, one guy locks Leshrac and one Bloodseeker and the final guy is hovering on Gondar.
Great lanes, right? Gondar solo off. Ursa or NP jungle. Lesh supporting my farm top with double stun and Bloodseeker can mid.
Nope. Bloodseeker insists he was planning to jungle. When I point out what a godawful jungler he is, the response? "You've obviously only seen noobs do it". When I tell him flat out in about a thousand games I've never seen a jungle BS do anything useful he calls me an idiot.
Last guy comes in late having picked up Skywrath. So what do our lanes look like?
Ursa fed second blood (Sky managed to grab first) to the Wisp/PA combo in our lane and I got killed on a tower dive a little after after losing a chunk of health trying to save him. That's when I noticed Lesh mid with BS offlane...hate to admit it but I just abandoned. Couldn't take anymore of that utter stupidity.
I really hate players who don't do anything but play this game exactly like League of Legends. Which is lane all day, don't do anything, and just react to what they see.
Oh, and the endless amount of Spanish speaking people on US East that I have to mute because they have to something to say in a foreign language every 5 seconds.

Alternatively, you have people standing behind trees for minutes on end... and you even tell them there's a ward there so why do you think they're tower hugging? Yet they persist... stand there, and then get ganked.

In the last 3 or so games I've had people complaining because no one picked a 'tank' in the picking phase.

Hahahaha I had couple of games like that but it was long time ago, people were like "pick tank", "omg wtf we dont have a tank, game is lost"
Alright, I've pretty much accepted I'm going to lose at least 50% of my games due to teammate picks alone (in matchmaking) 4 tier 3 heroes with 0 stuns? No problem.
The only decent games I can get are in ixdl (and even those are rare).
I decided to play with 2 of my friends in dota 2 last night so we did a 3 stack in all pick. we had 2 randoms who went as kotl and storm. not bad I guess, storm did a good job ganking and such. however, this kotl was one of the most selfish assholes I have seen in ages. he doesn't build a mek (please note that he was STEALING ALL OF THE FARM FROM OUR CARRY),refuses to buy wards and bitched at us for not buying them(irony), stay out of team fights, feeds the juggernaut on the other side of the river. what items did he build? oh he built a fully upgraded dagon and etheral blade. when I tried to save his sorry ass and died doing that, he called me a noob for doing that. we lost that game and god damn was I fucking pissed. I swear I'm only gonna be doing 5 man stacks for now on after this incident

Had a slark the other day that went shadow blade basher. He would run into their team invisible, hit them twice then get chain stunned then he would pounce away and ulti basically doing fuck all useful. I tell him to get bkb and we win. Nope.
