Why does every pub insist on still trying when game is over. Thanks for prolonging me getting onto the next game by 10+ minutes.
this and thanks for not killing our ancient when we lost but instead trying to fountain dive, die, and drag out the game for another 5 minutes..
and when my team is winning? GO EVERYONE DIVE LIKE YOU NEVER DOVE BEFORE: TO THE FOUNTAIN AND BEYOND (death)
guys, you don't need to fountain dive every game you win, just fucking kill the ancient.

I like when people try to fountain camp, but you have a pudge. So in the end they just get hooked into our fountain and die.

I dunno, I like fountain diving (from both ends of it). When losing, its a chance to "get even" by killing them once or twice. The fountain is a powerful ally. Sometimes they just wipe you and you don't get any of them, but whatever game was over anyways. And when you "get" that guy who was talking smack or whatever, it makes the loss much more palatable.
When winning, its a test to see how many of them you can get without dying yourselves. Plus its generally a good chance to grief allies with force staff. Whether you pull off the flawless 5-0 or your whole team feeds to just kill that veno, its hilarious and fun and doesn't really change how long the game is.

If everyone could stop saying 'ez' after they win a game, that would be great.

Ok, brace yourselves, here comes a shitton of rage.
*Inhales*
I recently played a Captains Draft match. I was an Axe carry with a Treant support in the safelane. It starts of pretty well, until we realise, he never healed the towers, only himself and sometimes me. We told him to heal the towers, he said "Its not a heal, it's a cloak". I told him to pull the creep wave, but no, I was the one who should "stop last hitting the creeps" so that the line could move back. But OH NO, he didnt stop there, he then decided to buy 0 wards during the entire game, and then he went all "Axe you suck" on me. He hardly ever used Overgrowth, and when he did, he only got creeps. Since it was me, he also decided to repeatedly blame me (I was the captain) for losing the game, because I'm obviously the one who's responsible for how well all the teammates are playing *Sarcasm*. By this point I realised he was just a troll, and reported him.
It was embarrasing how long it took me to understand that he was trolling, so it was partly my fault for not muting and reporting him from the start. Still, he was more annoying than a russian lvl 6 Riki getting an Invis rune.

What is the point of playing when the matchmaking decides who wins?

It's not fun when you lose and the enemy Pudge stands in safe distance and just hooks you out of the fountain over and over and over again. If they are diving, fine, but this Pudge fountain camping makes me furious.

Just had a game where our mid who was playing SF completly skipped raze, he proceeded to get raped and die 4 times in 4 mins against a fucking ck mid >_>

smoke and hide at the back of your fountain, or sell your items and buy a force-staff to push the pudge into your fountain. If your buildings are mostly dead then it will end soon anyway, and if your buildings aren't dead you can smoke + TP outside your base and run and farm their jungle or something. There are always outs 
Yeah sometimes its obnoxious but usually its not so bad. Often hilarious.

Exactly. You just gotta embrace it. At some point, you'll be that pudge.
Now, when there's a 6-slot medusa w/bkb, or void with chrono, or meepo with... many meepos, or any other hero that can kill your entire team while in the fountain... then you got problems :p

Fountain game is only fun if you can actully afford the forcestaff. After that i welcome a good fountain game

Tips for those hunting enemies who have escaped their fountain: Use a smoke then run along the treeline near the edge of the map (where they may be hiding). When the smoke dispels, you know you are near. (Also use blink dagger if you can afford). Flying courier scouts are also fairly effective, but won't reveal invis/smoked enemies (the smart ones). I'm assuming you can afford these things if you are at the "fountain camp" stage.

I am sick and tired of me putting in fucking work each and every game only to have it thrown by ONE INSIGNIFICANT TURD on my team. YEA TREE GO FARM THAT RADIANCE (WAT) BOT LANE AS YOU GET GANKED EACH AND EVERY TIME, OH LOOK 52 CS AT THE END OF THE GAME, HOW'S THE RADIANCE?
|
Not to sound like a broken record but,
Have you tried 5-stacking? Literally any time somebody in your game demonstrates human decency, add the fuck outta them on steam and stack with them. Rinse, repeat.

I haven't played dota for 2 weeks now and I actually feel much better mentally. No stress and no built up rage.
You guys should try it.

Shadow fiend on my team vs. storm mid. SF loses the lane, giving FB at level 5 despite having a decent soul count. Meanwhile our offlane windrunner tries ancienting and fucks it up by missing a bunch of stack timings. As safelane naix with omni support I get a 6 minute midas + boots, then freeze there for a while as storm starts tping around and hunting me. The first time he comes bot he gets a double kill on top of the kill he had from mid, and he snowballs into an absurdly fast orchid from there.
BUT, our team starts to pull it together after 20 mins of getting sit on by a fed storm. Furion gets his lothar's and necro and starts laying into their buildings, picking them apart one by one until he can start backdooring rax. The other team chooses to ignore him and start teamfights on our side of the map, so they can 5 man push our base. Whenever they try to initiate a teamfight, I bait them into going on me, dodge with rage, and beat the shit out of their drow, while our SF sneaks into position and lands the perfect ult. Our omni's repels and guardian angels are always on point when the other team starts mounting a decent offense. WR is still dead weight but even with her we turn the game around. 45 minutes in, we trade rax, then win a teamfight by rosh and go throne.
BUT, after the game was over, the client said "dota 2 network currently offline." I logged out of dota 2, waited 10 mins, then logged back on. The network is back up, but there's no trace of the game I just played. No win, no entry in my dota 2 history, no entry in my dotabuff history. It's as though our 50 minute comeback never happened.

solosuicide DK, get firstblood against a motherfucker Brood&Warlock. Doesn't fucking matter, teammates were literally all incompetents.
Another game: pick CM, two teammates go "me and x safelane", ok maybe they know how to play...picked Slardar and Bristleback for safelane farm. I went 1/0/8 at the first 10 minutes as CM, didn't matter. Slardar finished his Treads (nothing else) at 18 minutes.
a doom that went Midas, Shadow Blade, Radiance (Shadow blade was 25~ minutes)
A Tuskar that went mid and did absolutely nothing
an Enigma that didn't want to gank until he got his blink dagger (ffff) and then got a Radiance next (FFFFFFFFFFFF)
an OD that didn't skill his aura
a Venomancer (lone support) that didn't support at all and bought a minute 30 shadow amulet (utterly fucking useless guy)
Fucking piece of shit MMR stop grouping me up with retards

I agree with this--when you're on the losing end of a crappy game where you and/or your team played really badly, it's really fun to just stop caring and try to get a kill or two. Bonus points for if other people on your team disconnect so you have to try to micro multiple heroes.

Playing AR. I get Dazzle but someone wants to switch with me so I end up going mid with Morphling. Didn't get kills but didn't die either so I was just farming. Our Dragon Knight was just fucking bad though. He finished 1-15....wtf. Granted, nobody bothered to get wards either but how can you die so much without doing it on purpose. God damnit....been getting such bad teammates lately. Not really their fault I guess but still so frustrating.

I feel your pain, but if the other team is giving you first blood like that, they clearly have the same caliber of players.
Hate seeing Dooms in pubs though, by some quirk of fortune I'm 6-0 on him and it seems like every Doom I see makes me want to take control of his hero and never let him touch it again.
