just had a great game as a PA:



first time i actully won a PA match! the fact that we didnt finish the game early when they have 4 carries was real bad for us,but we won in the end

im also happy to say that a buy back i did with boots of travel changed a team fight from us losing to us winning, which saved the game!

I believe my week went about, 4 loses, 1 win, 6 more loses, 1 win, 2 more loses, 2 wins. This week was an absolute disaster for me in DotA.

Compendium is 25k from tier 2.

It'll hit that by Monday for sure. I hope the upgraded Smeevil looks cooler. The vanilla one is kinda crappy.

Man fuck DOTA2 Lounge. Their bots are either offline or full. It has been impossible to bet for me in the last few days.

10 losses in a row now. I had a great week until this weekend, hell I was doing fine in solo queue, then Valve caught me winning too much.

The trench is deep man.

Literally promised myself I would not go to bed until I won at least one match tonight, but no with GAF on my party or solo queue I have lost every single match I played tonight, all nine. And this brings up my losing streak to 11. I have to go to bed now.

Fuck.
 
Dendi playing Slark atm. Maybe we'll see that out of him in a competitive game soon?

Fuck.

If there was ever a reason to believe in karma, it's Dota 2 MM. It's vindictive.

Play a co-op bot match. Get a win

I feel like I'm part of a support group -- I'm not alone! Can't win a game to save my life, save for the one game I played with you (I was the Shadow Demon). Seeing other people having similar problems makes me think if something weird's going on with mm or if we're all just unlucky.

Somewhere out there, statistically, there's someone having the win streak of their life

BTW how does one deal with a tiny and centaur who combo wombo? Tiny throws centaur or tiny throws hero into centaur who then hoof stomps and doubles edges and death.

This duo just wrecked us. Later they both acquired blink so it never got any better. lol

Never felt so futile in a game of Dota as they man handled every single hero including an axe. I was spectre.

It was a mad game too.

They had a kotl on their team who was feeding us the courier and recalling them on to the rock formations so there were huge moments of quiteness and then you see them waiting for tp's to come but the kotl had fed the courier to us. lol

We almost made a comeback with Axe, Tinker, me as Spectre and a Sniper. A viper rage quit after being combo wombo'ed during the laning phase 3 times. They had a drow who I was feeding on to get farm.

I know that feel. The same thing happened to me once. I think a good counter is Silencer because you can just drain their mana endlessly and without mana they can't do anything.

Also maybe blink heroes can be fast enough to escape the stomp.

I had some luck countering this with OD. Just keep imprisoning Tiny so he doesn't have the mana to toss. Tiny has a terrible manapool to begin with.

It's still a really nasty combo to deal with though.
 
Arrrrrrrg I'm so bummed.

Joined a GAF party for a Captain's Mode game and I was pretty excited because I've never played it before. During the drafting stage I heard my alarm system say my living room door was opened, which was strange because it was just my sister and me home, and she had no reason to be going outside. So I went to check it out and my sister was wandering into the backyard with a board game in her hand, mumbling that she wanted to play. She has epilepsy and was having a complex partial seizure, which result in her wandering outside saying and doing incoherent things. It's really scary because if nobody is around she can wander out into the streets (which happened the first time she had one). So I went after her and after ~10 mins finally convinced her to come back inside, where she lay down and fell asleep on our parent's bed, and woke up about 5 mins later really confused. I stayed with her until our dad came home from walking the dog and took over, but by then it had been like half an hour and I had abandoned my game.

Sorry to those of you who were in my party. Epilepsy sucks.

What are the chances that there will be empty seats during the main event like there were last year? An empty seat that could have gone to someone who really wanted to go.

I wanna try my hand at picking/banning in CM during IHs! I usually queue with some friends who are new to doters so we don't go near that mode, but it would be nice getting some experience against someone else near my level as a Captain noob

Conceptor you totally should, captaining is a ton of fun and we typically try to pair up fair captains.
