Guy locks in Captain role. Some other guy goes "pick Huskar, Riki and Ursa!" He was, apparently, joking. Captain actually picks Huskar, Riki and Ursa. After a first pick Puck. Almost impossible to lane against what the other team had picked. By some miracle we NEARLY won but couldn't quite make it. :-\ Can't be too mad though. The next game was one of those epic back-and-forth hour long games so that more than made up for it (and beating a 6-slot Dusa with a Rapier always feels good). | ||

I picked last, trying to fill out the roles we need. We had an invoker, antimage, shadow shaman, and np. I was like "okay, well obvious offlane pick is obvious", and then proceeded to pick weaver at the 0 second mark. Invoker goes top, refuses to move to mid. Shadow shaman repacks into TIMBERSAW, and then goes bottom with antimage as a support timber? And then I am forced to mid. Against an OD. That did not go well. We lost within 20 minutes thankfully. But my god. What the fuck. This is at 4300 MMR. I know it's not great, but I at least expect people to make competent lane choices, in that lane roles get fulfilled even if they're not the best hero picks, and people at least somewhat try to optimize lanes given the heros available. Jesus fuck. Sometimes you just give away free MMR :/ Oh yeah needless to say that the invoker that went top fed like hell. We had an enemy level 11 solo safelane jugg when I was level 9 as the mid  | ||

Also the initial lineup you posted doesn't really need an offlaner, natures prophet can do offlane just fine, team rather lacks another support. | ||

If someone picks NP, he's going woods. To hell with the other lanes. Doesn't matter that you're screwing your team over. They're just bad because they couldn't hold on 4v5 for 30 minutes.. | ||

Iunno, post lvl 6 weaver vs. OD felt pretty fucking lopsided, he basically could zone me out at will, as I couldn't get more than 3 astral stacks on me or I'd die Bear in mind we also had no courier, and I obviously didn't get any help with mid. And top lane invoker? When we had a weaver? He just died and died to jugg....Weaver vs jugg is such an easy lane :/ | ||

Every Single One. edit: Lost 500 MMR in... 1 day. Yaaay pro Pudges ! edit2: And don't let me start on how fucking bad some Clockwerks are. Like, they are pushing our base and probably the smartest thing to do is to flank them and hook someone on the back right ? NOOO these Clockwerks simply hook straight out from inside our base. What do they achieve ? Cut your fucking carry out of the fight, that's what they only achieve... I like how I stopped playing this game for a month when I had 4700 MMR and when I come back, around 1 week ago, all my games turn to shit. | ||

-A captain who can't pick in time -Someone in our agro trilane sat afk in fountain at start -Someone else on our own team unpausing ( a lone druid who does 1-4-1-0 skill build) -Guy who was afk comes out and goes in wrong lane because he's sulking at the unpause | ||

Also, the theoretical '1 ban 1 pick' mode suggested on reddit some time ago sounds awesome. Imagine a world without pudge, pl, prophets, etc. | ||

Playing against 5 stacks as a solo queue'er, this is supposed to make sense? Play 1v5? Also, the theoretical '1 ban 1 pick' mode suggested on reddit some time ago sounds awesome. Imagine a world without pudge, pl, prophets, etc. i think i would ban lycan every single time, if someone else banned lycan before me it would be slark. | ||

I would ban towards my own team like 99% of the time. I'm picking a mid? Ban pudge. Picking a jungler? Ban prophet. Picking a carry? Ban riki. Support? Offlaner? ....probably pudge again, just to be sure. | ||
