I loathe playing against Slark so much that I can't bring myself to play as him.

But he's really, really easy to go nuts with in low-MMR games because the skill floor is relatively low and it takes a bit of knowledge and/or teamwork to counter a minimally competent one (see also: Weaver, PL, Riki, etc.)

Support SB is pretty fun. Should've gone SB SB but I was at a loss after Treads/Urn/Mask/BKB.
Does Orchid work well on him? We won pretty easily but they had a Chinese Puck that was pretty good so I would've liked to shut him down more.

dont bother, i tried doing that and i ended up basically the same
though i heard that some people were able to game the system by picking zeus and spamming the ult every time it came off cooldown in order to boost their hero damage stat, which initial mmr was said to be primarily based off of

why must everyone insist on playing carry? Why must I suffer through the team 4 picking carries? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Everybody wants to be a big shot.

Do what I do, play Heroes of the Storm. It doesn't matter what you pick since everybody in potato bracket picks the free2play hereos

But then you'd have to play heroes of the storm.

There are two usually bad things: everyone playing carry, and everyone rushing bloodstone.
Apart from this, Shadow Demon has great ways to farm the jungle. It is amazing.

I feel as though tier 2 is too easy and tier 3 too hard.

No way, arcana rankings go like this:
Lina - simple, pretty and goes easily with most sets.
Shadow Fiend - nice and consistant fire theme, looks good overall.
Terrorblade - this is what default terrorblade should have been, mostly because default tb looks duuuuumb. I like the secondary color gems concept (aside from them being expensive as shit).
Crystal Maiden - pretty, but I don't really like the face painting part. The pet howling during your ult is neat.
Legion Commander - eh.
Phantom Assassin - the particle effects are overdone, especially since blur makes pa's great look pretty messy to begin with. I don't like the color of the blades at all, nor the voice filters.
Techies - fuck techies.
CM Arcana is the best with the right items
And PA has the best effects
That crit animation where it looks like the enemies soul is getting cut right out of them

1 or 2. If I got any further than that I start playing sloppy when I realize there's a million other better things I could be doing with this time.
Usually if I get to the 5th game, I start to really hate Dota, so I don't usually go over 1 or 2.

VG vs EG
Secret vs VG - Best of 5

Is it a given that Secret vs VG are going to the finals?
Or do you have little faith in EG to not lose?

I'd watch a show where a pro player is trying to go 1v5 against a team of low level trench players.
Basically the Dota 2 equivalent to this:

This old video of sing playing on someone's low MMR account is basically that. It's the biggest skill mismatch demonstration I could think of, but I guess plenty of people on new smurfs can produce the same result.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
I just hope EG doesn't go shit-crazy in their drafts this time around, so we at least have a game.

Is Viper op now? Seen lots of strong Vipers recently...

Good hero, now the meta is more early game oriented he's even better now, wouldn't call him OP though. He's always been annoying to go up against in pubs, same deal with Undying.
This BB vs Turtle game is the first time I've seen a Lotus Orb actually win a fight.
viper has always been a pain to deal with in lane
