I have met plenty of decent to excellent Filipino players, but really so many of them come in, claim mid immediately and pick senseless heroes that I, like crimsonSoldier just assume auto loss when I meet them. I guess only the really stupid ones select all language options and end up on our servers. There are probably stupid english speaking people who select all language options and end up on Chinese/Tagalog/Russian servers anyways So true. That's one of the reasons I no longer queue in SEA. Add to that other Pinoys on your team swearing in their built in/cheap microphones. | ||

Have you guys never seen a proper game in all your lives? Do you not know what defenders advantage is? Don't you understand the concept of finding an opening? They actually listen to me a bit and stay put. We managed to get back into the game by defending a couple of times and finding some pickoffs. So what the proper way to proceed now? Wait until they've all spawned and then ALL OUT ATTACK!..we wipe and lose the game. | ||

Pugna boots first rushing agha is just painful, ofc not getting courier and not getting wards or helping in any way. It seems that they have been watching too much competitive DotA, Pugna isn't played as support there.  | ||

Yeah I had a game the other day and asked for wards from a windrunner and Pugna, and they both told me to buy them myself . I was TA, who is heavily farm dependent. Against a brood mother and a bounty hunter and I ended up buying dust and sentries to deal with them. >< | ||

Liquid vs. NaVi (5 games between sunday and monday) included four farming pugnas I think. | ||

You are not playing against Alliance at the end of the day, there is always room for it, even for a farming mid TA. | ||

They think supports are healers/nukers/whatever and just as farm-dependent (and deserving) as carries. No, the point is that people play in pubs but don't understand the pubby mentality. They think people will follow the 1-5 system and would rather go without vision than buy wards themselves. 150 gold if you need the vision is not that big of a deal, and will often (in my experience) guilt your supports into buying them in the future if they see their mid TA buying wards/dust. | ||

Might not be as bad for TA because she can use the traps and is really quick but everyone else in the middle is just fcked if they don't have a decent supporter. | ||

And if you delay bottle too long and even need to get courier yourself too, you might as well give up mid at that point and go roaming. Might not be as bad for TA because she can use the traps and is really quick but everyone else in the middle is just fcked if they don't have a decent supporter. I almost always buy the second set of wards when I'm mid, not a big deal. It surely help my team a lot. | ||

In a pub you simply shouldnt assume that anybody is support based on their Hero. I make a point of asking the players playing "classic" support Heros if they are Support or farming and pick acordingly. | ||

I always ask and I'll even buy the second set if I am mid. Item timings are great, but vision is better. | ||

First 3 minutes, everything's going well, I get like 90% of last hits, the Mirana isn't getting much fame, and then I want to ask for a tango, but I realize that since I'm playing on my laptop my vchat command isn't set. So I head into the shop, and head to options to fix it, and right when I get back I get hit by an arrow, and mirana kills me. I hadn't walked far enough into the fucking shop to be unseen by the Mirana. Afterwards, they start talking about why they dont know why i just stood there. I'm too embarassed to talk at this point. So I get back to farming, and before I know it another arrow hit me while I was focusing on berating myself (as if they weren't doing a good enough job already), and I die again. And it happens one more time when I was trying to get a last hit on a creep, then I get dps'd down from full HP by a bunch of ranged creeps + the now fed Mirana. Mirana proceeds to start steamrolling, and at this point all 4 of them are blaming me. I tell them I might as well abandon at this point, and they agree. I do so. just pisssed that people can be so mean when i'm already kicking myself so hard for fucking up 3 times in a row, proceeding to me kicking myself harder for making people mad at me + letting them down. to make things worse, i was in tears while writing the post.  well, the only thing to do now is play more alch in cm so i can actually l2p | ||

Then my next game started with a guy (aptly named DENDI) dc'ing before we even selected heroes. We had timber, puck, pudge, meepo. Stupidest team ever? Almost. Dual mid lane SF and Drow against my puck. A few well timed phase shifts and harassment orbs, and 3 guys on their team DC. Those were the only two games I could play today. And they were both stupid. | ||

Fun fact: un-upgraded courier can not pass items over cliffs. Fun fact #2: You can not upgrade courier till 3 minutes in after the patch. + Show Spoiler + when i finally got the tp, that sadist came back and cancelled my first attempt:D | ||
