They really need to add a forfeit option... it's no fun playing when your team is down by 20+ kills and one of their heroes is fed beyond belief. I'd also like the ability to disable all chat, because enemy teams tend to talk a lot of shit. I'm mainly just saying this because of the shit game I just played where the other team's Riki was super fed and proceeded to gloat until the game ended. Really annoying and not fun.

Mute affects text?
Pretty sure it does.
Yes it does.
Oh wow, that's great, thanks
That was one of my biggest complaints and it turns out it's in the game already.
You'll still get their pings, if that matters.
That's good. I'd just rather mute assholes ahead of time before they ruin a match for me with their whining. Pings are actually helpful most of the time.

Really started enjoying watching the Weshing stream. He captures the highs and lows of emotions in dota games better than anyone.
I was pondering whether the Axe buffs would be enough to push him into a competitive niche, needless to say I've been thrilled to see him picked now and again.
Elaborate!
Slow reaction time, bad decisions made sometimes. I had 1 really good game, then 1 mediocre game. Watching someone that's really good play a hero that you play sometimes and seeing how much more effective they are is bittersweet, on one side you realize how shit you are, and on the other you see how to get better.
Feels bad to be the reciever and not the provider of the rage, especially after making a stupid mistake like not using Shallow Grave on someone

Sounds harsh, but it's a learning experience. I know the very few times I was in the Gaf inhouse game I would comment on people making bad decisions, then when it was my time to play I got steam rolled. Feels bad.
Well it's a lot harder for me to accept a mistake like that, I've been playing this game for 7 years, especially something like not using grave on someone, or going the wrong skill build. Oh well I didn't do that badly though.
From now on I'm building THD with Veil, Agha, and sheep, the damage output is so ridiculous

Yeah. Some things that are obvious to you are not obvious to those who aren't as good at the hero/skill level bracket/metagame strat than you are.

500 hours!
Just played with the most frustrating Moprhling in the history of Dota 2. First time I wanted to spout so much shit to someone. I wanted to tell him to uninstall, to smash his face on a concrete wall, to just never touch a Moba game, to just never play video games in general.
Then I realized I hate people like that and just stopped giving a damn even though I wanted to punch my monitor so I could have an excuse to quit the game.

Absolutely, I've been really focusing on my warding a lot these days, and understanding all the ward spots and which is gives extra vision in different places and so on. Some of my friends are still just like warding = wards on the 2 runes, and they think that's fine. Same with counterwarding, you hit a skill bracket where it just becomes the done thing.
You just gotta play, learn if your playing with people better than you. Try and help teach if they're lower than you.
And then everyone gets a long fine and we dont get pages of hon-dota-drama, happily ever after.
Your games were in the top live games on the front page for quite awhile last night
This is interesting. I wonder if it these results will weigh in on future balancing. Valve's data gathering must be a god send for Icefrog since now he can compare whether all the whining on the forums is actually justified or not.
Sure hope so, maybe this thread will start talking about the actual game again!
you guys can do better, try to sound less pathetic and a little more evil.
The person who posted those numbers never provided any evidence, and we've heard nothing about his site.
are you thinking Phanton lancer or Phantom assassin?
what does this even mean

Humble swag incoming?
Na, what the hell am I talking about.
Even if Swag went pro you'd still tell him to get crunched.

I've found that past midnight you get a ton of variation in player skill when you queue.
Last night I had a lich who had 11 wins on my team. Rest of them were 250-400.
edit: Looks like they queued as a group, which explains the person with 11 wins.
My prediction is no hero patch. Enjoy.
Swag really is Kanye?!

3 losses as axe in a row. I'd rather put him on the back burner than trying not to suck with the beared menace.
Hmm guess so. As long as they proceed each round I guess they could mix and match potential recruits and see who plays well as a team.
