Pudge doesn't block creeps at spawn but goes straight for rune. Gets lucky cause rune spawns at his location, it's a DD, and nobody else was here to harass him out of taking it. Litterally the only good rune for him if he didnt block. Proceeds to get all the last hits in the first wave thanks to that.
I still managed to win the lane cause he wasn't good (which you could have guessed with him not blocking vs sf, or anyone for that matter), but man i hate stupid plays like that work out ok. It had like a 10% chance to work. Now he'll probably figure it was a good idea and do it again. And I may get him in my team.
on my smurf i first pick mirana and nobody picks carry lol, theres something wrong with the universe when you end up running no carry strats. game drags on im only one doing anything in our team, eventually doom furi dusa get fat enough to end it
Game 1 last night I'm playing SF. I get really bad spikes at the beginning of the game and die twice. Quit to reboot, it fixes the spikes and I come back to lead the game in farm. We're crushing fair fights but they have a Brood so we can't get too far from base easily. About 45 minutes in our Bane just blunders into three of them and dies with no buyback and we lose.
Game 2 I get stuck playing Rubick. No offense to the hero or anyone who likes playing him, I just hate it. I still participate in 15/17 kills as we lose painfully.
Game 3 I picked Drow (not the smartest idea, I know) and outfarmed everyone on both teams while still participating in every fight. We lose because Pudge can't hit any hooks and Doom on my team somehow ends up with 330 gpm. Pretty sure you only need to use Devour when it's off CD to get that . . .
I am not here to whine about teammates, I am not even here to whine about shitty drafts or op heroes. I don't get frustrated or mad easily. But there is one thing in dota that drives me nuts. When you are mid in a nice 1v1 lane, runes are warded and you feel that you are a superior player. Yesterday I played mid as clockwerk (it was cd no other heroes were left) against a storm spirit. He dives me at level 6 and dies for some reason. Just to paint a picture about this guy. But then every time a rune is about to spawn he just blindly runs to one of the spawns and camps there for 15 seconds. He doesnt even care that he loses a whole creep of xp/gold or that he only has a 50% of being at the right location. On top of that he does this all game long. I don't even get mad if he gets the rune. It's just the plain stupidity of these people. I cannot comprehend why you would waste a whole creep wave for a 50% on a rune. Which might not even be helpfull.
Was playing enigma, we push with an early mek and I get a 4 man black hole. They take it for the full duration, then teamwipe us. Three times in a row (each with 3-4 man black holes).
At around 25 minutes I realize the rest of our damage includes a Slark with 2 oblivion staves and boots, a Weaver still building his linkens, and an Invoker who keeps pushing people out of the black hole with deafening blast.

Orange insta-locks captain. Me: Why Lich first pick? Captain: I don't know what I'm doing. Captain: Who wants Witch Doctor?
THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE GOOD I CAN FEEL IT
Happy ending:
We won! Captain fed first blood and three subsequent kills in my lane and then bought a second Mek, naturally, but he couldn't quite throw hard enough.
so we are winning hard, have 4 rax they have 1 rax. We want to end it lycan feeds 1v5 completly out of position, well not a problem tell my team to get back and wait for lycan and tp out. My team keeps pushing 3v5 all die and the enemy team just just take our base.
Oh of course i forgot to mention that they were russians, flaming all game for the slightest mistake by our dazzle while feeding like crazy diving t3 and shit.
Playing Shadow Shaman. We chase someone through the woods. I hex him up, hex gets cancelled cuz he got out of sight. I instinctively cast wards. Whole team QQs but it's all good since we win anyway with some clutch plays. I don't know how they managed to stay in the game when their carries were badly underfarmed.
Also, another game. Lina said she has mana to combo the fuck out of Enchantress. Enchantress dodges the Laguna Blade.

I don't believe laguna blade or finger are disjointable. You can avoid them by going invincible/magic immune during a very short window (like a few frames tops i think?) but afaik blink can't work. Also one would assume that if she was "comboing" the ench then blink would be on CD lol.

The window is easier seen in HoN
Fast forward to 0.58seconds. Pyromancer's (Lina in Dota) ultimate shoots a projectile instead of "instant beam and then some delayed damage".

I don't think lich is that bad a first pick, he can go in any lane and sacrifice is OP to boot
Picking Lich first wasn't the real issue.
I mean, it's odd and I think the hero is super overrated by some people, but he could have offered a justification. The thing that got to me was that apparently he had no idea what he was doing and his next thought was to pick Witch Doctor.
