1. Man, i am doing A-Z in ranked AP and i just dont care anymore. Ranked is fucked up anyway when seeing how much influence u have over the endresult in AP anyway, certainly if not mid/solo. 2. In AP u know everyone can pick anything, nobody has to buy a coerier or wards, people dont care because its AP! 3. If your losing 10 games in a row on copter/luna mid its time to except that this idea, combined with your abilities, maybe isnt gonna work in your mmr range. After 10 tries i would abandon the luna/copter mid and move on

Sigh, so sick of having to buy all detection, all wards, the courier the upgraded courier etc. on carries. Trashcan veno who saves up 2k gold when we have no wards on the map to buy a goddamn necrobook.

Ranked Captain's Draft
Due to instalocks I'm left with mid tiny who I really don't want to play and explain why to my team, especially as it's ranked.
> I really don't want to play Tiny, can anyone swap?
(No reply - finally Weaver says just play it)
> Die first blood due to a double support rotation from top where they don't call missing
> A few minutes later
> Shout at top lane mid is coming to gank, shout they've got a DD rune active, draw a massive fucking arrow to help them, two of them die as they don't even back to their tower, they just stay middle of lane
> "gg Tiny"
> Game over by this point pretty much, we could come back with a few miracles.
> Land a 4 man blink stun/toss combo, our naga and medusa press R at the same time and retreat.
> mfw

I've decided I have a zero tolerance for inferior people.
First two picks? Axe and Lion. Axe calls mid and Lion says "I'm solo off if you come up here fuck u". Great, I know how this will go.
I just decide I'm gonna be KwarK and jungle lycan for a bit and take command of things. Luckily I run around and gank 2 guys for first and second blood at 3 minutes. The first kill was bot lane the second was mid. Lion dies once during this time. I continue to farm and got a very fast vlad thanks to a third kill on the bot lane support when he went to ward jungle camp. After continuing to rampage into the midgame, the team decides for some reason to stick around after we kill bot lane's rax. They are quickly initiated on, and all die. Somehow the decision to TP back home is thrown at me as some reason I'm not a team player and therefore suck and should die, etc (insert more well-known troll statements here).
I look at lion at 30 minutes and realize he has brown boots, went aghanim's and has fed 11 lives while the axe has fed 8 lives and although he has blink and blademail, is calling me a dumbass for not being the first to jump in and initiate (I had no aegis in this battle, mind you).
We won because of me, but literally JUST because of me. I had 9 levels over the rest of our team and 5 levels over the highest in theirs. My farm was completed 6-slotted by 35 minutes with 3 roshes in a row. These n00bs are fucking welcome for this win, but fuck people like this. Seriously.

Radiance AM, i think i have seen it all now -_-

If I missthe first stun of the game, I miss stuns whole game. If I hit my first stun of the game, I hit stuns all game. The hell is wrong with me today.
On a sidenote: Why didn't slark eget even furhter nerfed in 6.80? remove him from the game. I'd 100times rather deal with Earth Spirit.

I've got a lot more than that on a good number of other accounts not including leagues and scrims :S

And this is why you Lycan. Doing God's work here. Fixing solo queue all pick one game at a time.

I think his issue was that he carried a team for himself even though they all deserved to lose. Now they get that false validation and will bring it to their other games. It's like when people pick all carries and still win. I like MMR but I'd rather not anyone have to deal with 40 minutes of sitting behind barracks because people can't draft lanes.

why am i not suprised to see people picking the "new" heroes in ranked and failing really bad with them

because people play dota to have fun, new heroes are always fun to play (until you start feeding with them and then deem them utter shit)

All your money and all your time, just gone, and your team never even notices. Even better when the #4 who rushed aghs and never helped is spamming "We need wards!"
the one spamming "We need wards!" "We need wards!" "We need wards!" was the mid shadow blade, mask of madness no boots sniper

Lycan. Helping people feel better about themselves.

I love your guide so much, it helps to know if I really want to pull out a solid win all I have to do is follow a simple jungle pattern that ends up farming too fast for n00bier levels to deal with.

Although this was indeed an issue, its nice to know I can at least have a few reliable picks where its basically, "I pick them, regardless of team anything, I can pull out a win". Although them going away with the validation of "yeah we were right" does kinda irk me. I wish people were just smart enough to understand things like "2 melee supports in 1 lane is dumb" or "5 carries does not constitute a decent team comp against a competent thinking team so lets not risk it". Or at least if you're going to do something weird, explain the plan so those not in the group can follow the concept.

Lycan. One of those heroes that even a feeder n00b team has a hard time ruining if you are any good.

Some dude was epeening on the other team because he had 50 more mmr than someone lol.
