Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Will note each down to improve my game.



Sounds difficult to learn how not to fuck up and beat them to the punch as well. Guess I just need experience :/



Thanks for the link! Any other articles I should read up? I've already read the one by Purge in the OT, which was really useful as a noob.

btw, I've read that wards are quite indispensable items but where is the ideal place to put them? Just near the runes or some place else?

and sorry for another question, but as a support trying to assist the carry, if they get ganked and start dying, should I rush in to sacrifice myself in order to give a chance for the carry to survive? I feel like I'm feeding the enemy if I do so, and doubly so if both the carry and me die. Kinda asking because I've had the carry complain that I didn't protect him.



How do I join the neogaf noob channel? Not entirely sure how.

I wouldn't worry too much about sacrificing yourself to save someone else. It's hugely situational whether you can pull off an effective save or just end up dying yourself.

It's more likely that your teammate was just annoyed that he died and looked for the first thing he could blame, which was you. Happens all the time; "why didn't you stun?" etc.
 
Wish there was a site or podcast that had daily downloadable (to my phone) matches so I could watch during my commute.

Someone should get on that. ASAP.

I randomed AM and actually had a pretty darn good game with him. 14/3/5 was my total and I ended up with manta, butterfly and then at the end heart since I had no idea what else I was meant to buy.

I was surprised we actually won since we had a bloodseeker, void, qop and ogre. I wasn't expecting any farm at all.

It's always good when unexpected games go well.
 
Had two different type games yesterday:

First match is the first time I've lost even though we out killed them 34-30. They pushed better then we did and deserved it; just thought it was odd.

Second match was a back and forth pitched epic battle. Final score was something like 54-53, lots of team fights, lots of chasing and hiding, and well timed buybacks, both teams were down to the ancient. Both sides commended each other, no poor sports.

Now it was single draft and I had gone with Clinkz who I never played before. But even though I wasnt the greatest (not a big fan of him) no one on my team called me out, they actually gave me some ideas. Good to see the community isnt all mouth breathers.
 
Wisp doesn't really gel with that lineup since they all have global presence by themselves.

Tether Keeper and ult to rest of team, Keeper uses ult and recalls Wisp there. Bam. Wisp also has nice ranged damage with the spirits but no stun I suppose :(

Stream laggy for other people as well?

Use 720p instead of 720p+

I don't like the idea of using wisp instead of ES. Playing against a lycan without a reliable stun is dangerous. They honestly need more stuns than they have now.
