Well, at this point I have a manta style and a lot of extra agility from my ult, so attack speed isn't the foremost of my concerns. I suppose a Soul Ring would indeed counter it, though.
 
Just encountered my first Russian today.

0/10/0 Axe. Goddam.

I played a Venomancer game where I tryharded as much as I possibly could, bought sentry wards at minute 1 to kill a broodmother, ended up killing said broodmother until a spiritbreaker arrived on the lane to die as well... By this point the riki I was babysitting was insanely farmed for the moment. But... What do I see? A level 11 Weaver with five kills? From top lane? When Riki is level 9? Wat. Well. We luckily had a Doom Bringer and managed to keep the Weaver somewhat down, pushed all the way to their base, got the mid base tower... And our (middle) Puck dies, splurts out some random russian words and ragequits. We end up losing.

This feels like HoN 1600-1700 all over again :x
 
All you can do in the current MM is to just work on your own game and try and improve, and try not to worry about results. Game still needs more people, the system needs more work, and hopefully they'll display the rating again.
 
It's not like beta stats (or stats at all) really mattered, just losing games like that feels always so salty. Especially when you have to watch your doom for 25 minutes. What can you do when you can't do anything?
 
It's such a waste to play support when you end up helping total idiots farm for 25 minutes before realizing they have nothing to contribute. Better to just pick some ganker/semicarry and go the whole game without wards and courier while taking care of no one else but yourself. Most randoms are quite helpless against aggressive furion so that's one I've been experimenting with for a bit now. Taking a break from being everyone's bitch with near-zero CS supports.
 
I've played a few games of axe in the jungle since the patch, and even multistacking camps it takes ages to get a vanguard and blink dagger. Is it better just laning?
 
Best part is poison nova can't kill enemies by itself. It's only because of the bonds it worked. Otherwise they all would've gotten away (with super low HP).

This match, THIS FUCKING MATCH :O

Around the 15 minute mark the took our two bottom towers and killed us like 6 times. No one on our team was calling out missing heroes and the SK and I were getting ganked in the bottom. That Huskar was literally eating our faces in the beginning. I honestly gave up so I wasn't stacking ancients and whatnot. Our Zeus got us killed twice in the beginning too :x

Then into the 27 minute mark, they were nipping at our heels at our base ;_;

We then focused all our attention on Huskar, but since they all decided I (the Dragon Knight) was the most dangerous, they kept making it tough for me to stun Huskar and take him down :/

Then our Queen of Pain and Skeleton King rallied us up and we were aggressive for the rest of the game.

Such an awesome game, and you guys might not even give a damn what some scrub who's played Dota 2 for like 56 times has to say :O
Just had to share the most amazing match I've ever had though :x
 
Basically I copied LoL's Ultimate Bravery and made Dota 2 version of it.
The idea is that the page randoms hero and items for you you must choose. Hero is 100% random and the items are random boots + 5 completely random totally finished items. Consumables and cheap items(<400g) may be bought regardless the page orders you. After the build is ready player can start replacing items. Items can be built at any order.
Now I'd like you to have fun with it.
I'd also like to know bugs and errors on it. I've enjoyed half bottle of booze tonight so its most likely that there is some typos on the item names.
I'd like the names to match Dota 2 items but I didin't find proper list of Dota 2 item names so I used Playdota.com's item page and my poor memory to name the items so there might be some item names to fix.
Also if you notice some item not to appear there at all I'd be happy to fix that.
Edit: I'm also taking in suggestions for the name for this thingy since the current name is clumsy copy of it's LoL-brother.

If you still don't get it, you clearly have no soul, which is a very strong possibility.

Why would you bother with this garbage website? Look at this:

Hero: Anti-Mage

Boots: Tranquil Boots

Item 1: Urn of Shadows
Item 2: Aghanim's Scepter
Item 3: Mask of Madness
Item 4: Black King Bar
Item 5: Shadow Blade
