China was unable to use SK because the skeleton imagery is forbidden there.

They already have their own graphics.

More likely it's due to conflict with HotS.

TA dies solo mid to Necro at level one, continues to go 0-4 to him, shadow shaman decides to go mid and feed too, had a stupid ass guy who thought chaos knight would line up well after we already had a TA and Luna, and made it a point to reality rift while we were backing so that we'd never get a good teamfight.
On ten losses in a row because of dumb shits like that in every single game. Seriously considering uninstalling

A Bloodseeker who does not farm for good items during the laning phase and constantly engages in unwinnable fights (look buddy, just because the hero has low hp but is with his other buddies with disables, that doesn't mean you have to go in alone without a bkb). He then complains how the team is not helpful when the entire team is out of position.

Also, a Doom who says that he is going to carry but only has tanky items and no damage items or BKB. I swear people don't realize that most carries require damage items and a BKB/Linken for protection. It's just awful...

Nyx assasin's impale is harder to hit than Pudge's hook. Who's with me?

AM gets a 14 minute battlefury with treads because I gank constantly as mid slark and get shitloads of kills. He finishes his manta 24 minutes in. Holy fucking shit I am literally giving everything on a silver platter but I keep getting autists in my team.

How can anyone with a straight face say: "No, matchmaking isn't broken, everyone in a match is equally-skilled, because Valve told me so" when empirical evidence just flaunts this in the face so hard. As if Valve has a perfect track record with matchmaking.

I chose morph as my new "Play him until I git gud" hero. So far the games have shown that if I do well in lane? Someone on their team is balling out of control faster. Pick against a team where morph is strong? Nigh un-lanable team comp (And no, I'm not the guy who waits until last pick)

And to hell, I've actually gotten pretty decent. Even in terrible lanes (Solo vs razor cm) I still get kills without dying and a linkens at around 20 minutes.

He was the flavor of the year during TI2, some base damage nerf will not stop me from finding the magic.

Also the game after I take a break from morph: http://dotabuff.com/matches/462473515

It always seems that when I hit > ~51% winrate I get RMM'ed with people who pick to lose...

So, I random wisp... ask anyone if they want to pick a tiny/ursa/alch to pair with me. Some guy says "I'll play wisp and pick one of those heroes for you". He picks tiny and swaps.

Then last pick PL, with a medusa and dp already in team inspite of me asking for a stunner/disable support.

It gets better... The wisp player then (after all the picking is done and the horn is going for the start of the game) says "We're gonna get owned I've only played wisp once or twice".

JESUS... I mean, talk about the game being over before it even begins.

1. The wisp was useless
2. The PL fed bot
3. By 10 minutes the score was already 17-2 or something with T1's and T2's lost in mid and bot.

I say... look guys game is over just let it end... YEP, I got threats of report... got flamed for giving up, etc. etc. etc. so was forced to prolong a game that was a done deal..... so fkn CYKA!

Queued for a ranked match, got placed vs a 5 stack (at 5k mmr). So far so good, #1 pick was rubick, #2 my morph, but then my allies start to complain about how I picked morph when rubick was already going mid (?! when did I say I was gonna mid) suddenly, #3 doom #4 alchemist #5 kunkka. We should be fine -- they said -- alchemist is support. Zero seconds, BAM, roshan has been slain. Then I see all enemies 5 of them rushing mid, taking every tower in the map in 10 minutes. I call their strategy cheesy then I get flamed because apparently they don't know what cheese is.

I don't think alliance won TI because they're good, I think they won because they won the lottery and found 4 good players to constantly practice with. It is harder to find a team than it is to get good in this game (as opposed to SC2 where you start your training right away). Another reason for me to keep bashing LoL and how you have to grind before you can actually start practicing for "competitive".

We all know that game is casual, what are you gonna do about it? Throw a spell in a cone at me?

Playing a game, it is going swimmingly. Looks like a definite win as we're pushing our second set of rax. QoP and Batrider disconnect simultaneously and don't return. Welp, there go some points.

Bonus - Their douchenozzle shadow shaman is spamming unpause, saying "gg you guys win anyways, just end" as they're pushing our mid t2.

In fairness to the Wisp...how else do you learn it besides taking it into games? Its not like Invoker which you can train on a bunch of invocation practice websites or a carry that you can just go into a game full of bots to practice your last hitting and control. You need aggressive human opponents to learn supports properly and human teammates to learn Wisp.

Just had a muted captain in ranked, he picked himself Lifestealer and proceeded to build AC -> Deso -> 2x Daedalus. What? They just locked him down and killed him every fight.

I am eternally baffled by rune-spawns. How is it even remotely acceptable that you simply have to flip a coin and hope that the rune you go towards is the one that will spawn. And don't give me that rune-ward crap, because while they are useful, I have to leave the lane at about 1:50 if I want to get the rune.

I'm just guessing. How is such an absurdly random and luck-based mechanic passed off as being even the slightest bit acceptable. It's pure chance and it can completely make or break the mid laner.

fucking people picking stupid gimmicky lineups without damage that can't win games ever. but hey, at least you can do some silly oh so original combinations that might get a kill here and there and look really cool and flashy am i right?

or maybe they could if the enemy team captain didn't smell his shit from a mile away and didn't just pick alchemist and bristleback..
i wouldn't even touch cm if earth spirit wasn't a thing.
why have you still not nerfed him in a meaningful way valve?

Here again, I lane with the earthshaker who wants to play gorilla warfare and farm a shadowblade while the abaddon and skywrath let him roam (and by "roam" I mean never leave lane) freely, spamming me to hell and back with nukes.

We manage to get a couple of kills (all of which ES made sure to secure) and I still get a linkens at around 20 minutes. Meanwhile Alch and Naix have midas and Riki has an Eye of Skadi.

The hell am I supposed to do about that

Next game: Start out 5-1, no one buys wards or tries to push vs Medusa. Invoker has blink+hex. Look Gabe, if you're upset with me we can talk about this.
