the problem with dota is that it's a game meant to be played in a serious, competitive enviroment with lots of team co-ordination and team-wide planning. On pubs, the game is an absolute, unsalvageable train wreck on every level. I really want to stop myself from playing it, but for some reason I keep going back to it even though I'm having a horrible time

Queued as a 3 stack. The moment the game starts, the other 2 people on our team said they were from South America and complained about having "1s delay" and "3s delay". I checked ping through console and they indeed had the highest pings (300+ each). Unsurprisingly they go 1-12 and 2-13 and we lose the game #agentssentbyvalve

At least they apologized to us after the game though so that's something
8/4/12 never forget, never forgive.

Just had my first intentional abandon in a while. Game starts, Disruptor calls mid, Invoker last picks after creeps spawn and stays mid with Disruptor for 5 minutes (until the lane phase ends)

I was solo suicide silencer (that bought courier/wards)
Invoker went max-wex
disruptor didn't skill glimpse until level 10
PL went Vanguard with 15 minutes of freefarm
Wisp was on his way to buy a vanguard
and they were all east european

hahahahahahaha -abandoned-

the game before that had some really high skill players, too. They all carried dust (seriously everyone but the support carried dust, and he carried wards), cooperated, called ss, and so on. How the FUCK did matchmaking go from a great game into an utter dogshit game

This is why I have never, in my life, built helm to farm.

You never build helm because somebody on your own team might take your stack? #teamplaya

Honestly, it's just a bad pub item.

Your investment becomes another objective on the map that your team must both defend and treat selflessly by giving it to the carry. In a pub, that's a major problem.

If the other team tries to steal it, the stack needs a response similar to defending a tower or rosh, but very few pub teams will respond properly for a bunch of creeps. And if the other carry gets your stack, your expensive farm accelerator has suddenly done more harm than good.

Even when you go to take it, you are easy to gank. If you die and they get the stack, that sucks even more. If your team comes to defend you, 95% of players will autoattack the stack while standing around, and in the process take a reasonable number of creeps. This is especially the case for any farmed #2s who probably outdamage the #1 at this point.

On all of the heroes I play who might build helm, bfury/midas are more reliable farming tools, and other things are more reliable fighting tools. Of course HoD can work, but it carries a risk and a coordination burden that the others don't. And as for teamplay, it's the teammates who can take the stack anyway, so hashtag all you like.

Had an ok match but other team kept bitching at each other. Well, there was a freakishly annoying player from one of the latin countries and in the end... he gets a mythical item. This is the second time a prick or undeserving moron got a mythical whereas I have yet to ever get one.

I mean the community is not the best but what happened in the last 3-4 months.
Everyone is now calling ez rares ez win at the end of the game even when it was close or flame u for no reason like i won mid biatch you suck.
Today i got a pretty fun game and then wr and naix dced so we paused but what happened opponent russian unpaused all the time and opponent team pwnd us while it was a 3v5 in maybe 2mins. It was a very close 50 min game to the point where my mates dced.

People saying "ez rares ez win" at the end of the games are the ones that just like to have fun and try to banter a bit. People need to lighten up and realize you can still have friendly flaming throughout the game even if you're getting fucked pretty damn hard.

it depends, really. If the "ez" comes after not having said a single word the entire game and the game was pretty close (not to mention the person saying "ez" wasn't the reason they won), then it's BM. If it's after a game with a lot of banter then it's ok.

What's worse, a cliff jungling furion?

Or a support who rages in team chat when he sees furion took TP first, then uses the starting wards to block the cliff camps?

To be honest I'd still say the furion...

Sure, the support is being a dick. But at least he's right, mountain prophet is a terrible idea. >_>

Support did the best for the team imo. Furi is just retarded.
