We are still in the first 10 calibration games, but some ofthem have been shocking. I mean really, really bad; basic things like last hitting, denies etc are just forgotten. Utter noobs who fly the courier in to radiant top for items they can buy in the side shop, solo, free farming PA's that get shadow blade at 25 min after phase boots. No harass, not died once, but just can't last hit! Seems like you have to carry simply cause you will get matched with utter noobs.. If that were true u would also face noobs making it easier for you, right? ![]() | ||

But then you pick supports (to be nice, give someone a chance to carry) and then they can't carry! Seems like its 2 stack AP rule of thumb: pick a carry, cause you will get teamed up with the guy who thinks his 35min shadow blade will win the game... | ||

Most of the time I get annoyed when people play the "I don't even know how you do that" card, because often they've never played the matchup themselves and have no idea that disruptor or whatever is actually really nasty to lane against. But.... I don't even know how you do that. | ||

But.... I don't even know how you do that. Meepo is pretty strong to be honest. >_> Had a "wonderful" game the other day. After some wonky picks I end up laning offlane as Gondar with Kunkka. Eh, whatever. We manage to get some nice levels, a bit of farm against their Tusk and Invoker and gank the hell out of Invoker. Awesome. OD is doing fine mid. Whatever. Bottom PA is getting decentish farm too. Going well. Game goes on and we start getting ahead. I'm ganking all over and we're winning skirmishes. Their Clockwerk calls gg, raging at Pudge (who is pretty terrible). Then the other team starts getting kills. They have Clock, Pugna and Invoker. So all they need is a good hook/cogs and they can batter us down. OD is yelling orders at people and pinging randomly on the map, in the meanwhile he's getting Dagon. Ok, whatever; Dazzle says he should get a BKB next rather than more levels on his Dagon. Nope, gotta have that Dagon 5. We lose fight after fight mainly off the back of their now snowballing Invoker. OD can do literally nothing because he just gets instantly blown up with spells. I'm starting to fall off (I'd been something like 6-0 and was now even on my KD) but PA is picking up steam. After losing a bunch of towers we end up in an interesting situation. I'm pushing their offlane with PA (I've got Deso) and the other team is 5-manning mid. Ok, if our team can hold we can trade nicely here. They start pushing onto our highground and we take a T2...then T3...then rax...then T4. In return they get only rax and the odd kill. Nice, if we can do that again we can just throne them since its exposed now. More fights, more falling behind. Meh. End up in the same situation, this time top. OD is pushing top and I BoT up there. We push in whilst the other team is pushing bottom to try and even up the creepwave pushing in there due to us taking rax. We kill the T3 and I sense blood. Their team has only TPd one back who we've already scared to fountain. If we go all in on the throne we either force mass TPs back or win there and then. I ping like mad on the fountain, call for him to come attack it. NOPE LETS KEEP ATTACKING THE NEWLY SPAWNED ENEMY CREEPWAVE. He dies to mass TPs back, I don't think he even used his BKB. I can't kill the throne by myself (knock about a third to half its health off, with his higher damage we'd have killed it) and eventually die to them. Other team just pushes mid, kills the rest of our team and wins. Whole team yelling at this OD. -_- Awful throw. | ||

Other teammates proceed to choose Sniper, QoP and Drow. Great fucking picks. Sniper goes 0-6, his first three items being wraith bands. Yeah, 3 wraith bands, no boots. Drow only buys two wraith bands, feeds anyway of course. Is there some stupid guide that makes people buy tons of wraith bands for no reason? | ||

But noooooo Our disruptor (called SOLOMID) somehow decides that he is going to ruin this game, starts by buying 3 courriers, then go jungle... I wasted 40 min on this game.... Of course they were all talking in russians so it was not even possible to ask them to let the other team end the game quickly | ||

Is there some stupid guide that makes people buy tons of wraith bands for no reason? I think there's some guide out there that tells Drows to buy 2 wraiths. I brought it up in some other thread. I'm no pro, but that seems like a fucking stupid waste of gold to me. Buy one, upgrade to ring, spend other gold on other shit. If you're so bad that you can't handle the missing stats from that 2nd band, you should probably not be playing multiplayer. | ||

Pick BH, tag the offlane. We have AM+dazzle bot, Earth Spirit mid and 1 unpicked. Some good initiation/disable that could be used to roam as 4 while AM farms. Picks pugna Spams "I MID" So now I share offlane with Spirit, the 2 most EXP-hungry heroes against CM SB lane. At what point do these people think that was a good idea | ||

At what point do these people think that was a good idea Sorry, but what? The two most xp hungry heroes in the game? You get level 3 on the two of you and then go around killing everything that moves. Hell, you can go just leech XP off of enchantress and steal her CS for the first 4 minutes if you wanted to. Odds are she isn't carrying dust with her right away (and even if she is, you'll see it before hand). Pugna is a pretty awesome pick in that situation because not only can you keep enemies from forcing fights with ward and nether blast, but you can also actually take towers after ganks (something that a dazzle, ES, and BH aren't going to do well by themselves. Granted the guy is a cock for that, but seriously if you did lose it's because you couldn't adapt your play and you really have nobody to blame but yourself. | ||
