Played Weaver for the first time just now, died two times early in lane, our Tiny started yelling and telling people to report me because I suck

Finished 14-2-16

I think it was his constant attacking me that motivated me that game!

I won 19/23 games last week, it was a crazy good run. I knew however, that the Dota gods were waiting to smite me. Yep, 4/16. The last 3 games have been the biggest jokes, it's unbelievable. SF goes 0/14, LD goes 0/13... The latest, I somehow got a Zeus on my team who had only 3 wins and didn't really understand how to play. He got destroyed mid, I offered to swap, nope. He rage quit a few minutes later. Ugh. I don't mind losing if they're somewhat balanced teams, but it has just been nothing but stomps. I think I'll give it a break for a little while, as it's not a lot of fun at the moment.

Its really bizarre when this happens. My friend and I got matched with three people with less then five matches each a few weeks ago

It's shit like this that makes me laugh when people try and defend the shitty MM. I have 300ish wins and today i had some kid with 10 who went 2-18 as JUG, getting the 2 kills with his ult. WHY VALVE, WHY? Fix this shit :(

Chances are they are partied with someone else on your team. Check their friends list.

No, they didn't. All three of them were low level, and the other person on the team was my friend. One of them was a more skilled player who was smurfing to teach his friend the ropes, but even with that it still shouldn't have thrown them against a full team of five with similar experience. I mean, if a random third guy with no experience gets put on our team, why didn't the system also give the enemy a few low-level guys?
 
Just had the most frustrating loss, we were going to fight the enemy team at rosh with a couple of rax down. So just as we come to the ramp down from radiant side to the river, TWO Ancient Apparitions come into view from the direction of the rune spawn and our warlock immediately panic ults them and of course they're illusions and no one else is there and we lost the teamfight.

How can you not know they are illusions? :(

Probably because it can't perfectly match you every game. If it tried to do that, queues would be 15 minutes instead of 3-5. If it's anything like Starcraft, the game doesn't match by wins, but by some sort of hidden matchmaking rating. When you get groups queueing with vastly different skill levels it's probably very difficult to find a decent match.

KP pick a hardcore level 1 rosh team with Prophet/Venge/Beastmaster/Ogre/Ursa (very similar to Alliance's level 1 rosh team at G1). KP all tp to the mid tower like Alliance did and try to rosh. EG tp to their mid tower, say hello, and KP already used half of their regen and now have to run, failing to kill Roshan and wasting their regen.

Well EE made up the dreamhack feint, so ill just assume it was his pocket strat to begin with ; )
 
I would like to confirm that Treant is in fact the best.

I personally like to leave his Ult at level 1 until 14, so I can max guise faster.

waiting for EE to post, saying their rosh rush failed because EG were playing wrong.
 
dam all these teams picking up morphling again? Feel like if you can get him with that 4 or 5 surprise pick slot, he can be solid. However, if you pick him up at 1-3 he's going to get countered with the plethora of silences in the game now.

oh

yay

horray
 
man i like ancient apparition

sniping 2-3 people from across the map with my ultimate is the best, just need to make everyone understand they should attack enemies that are frozen
 
Yea glad to see morphling back. Although theres no way he can solo carry like old TI2. Pair him with a tanky mid like DK and GG.

Just tried it. We lost the game, but I melted heroes so fast incredible.

Enemy Drow went 0-5 and still carried the game. :/

if you pay attention to those videos with ridiculous/uncommon builds, the score is either always hidden or it's a stomp, which makes the items relatively irrelevant, at least by the point in time you can see them in effect

aghs refresher or just refresher razor might be viable but these videos are always misleading

What items is he using? Sorry, I'm new and don't know the icons yet.

Aghanims Scepter on Razor increases the rate with which his cloud fires bolts. With Refresher Orb, you can summon 2 clouds and they shoot like a machine gun. Melts all low-hp stuff instantly.

Of course it's not guarantueed a win and I didn't expect us to win after we lost the midgame honestly. You need these items fast, before heroes have a lot of HP and my farm was not good enough.

Still I like these "semi-viable" funbuilds. Nice alternative to the regular stuff.
 
eGG

O god I can't wait till PyrionFlax tries to troll interview EternalEnvy and Jacky just goes off on him with F-bombs on live twitch "Wtf is your problem mofo"

I don't think the set fits into Dota 2, it's way too busy and the general design doesn't fit into her lore.
Detailed areas should comprise a small percentage of the overall character, and be concentrated to areas of importance.
Page 9 - Dota 2 Character Art Guide
I know you're not the only one who goes against the Dota 2 Character Art Guide but I still think that the character art guide needs to be highlighted more, it's a shame that the brilliant art style put in place by Valve is slowly getting saturated by over detailed cosmetics.
I can see that you chose a moth theme because she's tied with the moon but at the same time she's supposed to be a warrior not some sort of moth fairy.

Not sure if I agree becaue the Valve models are kinda bad. But I do like how Anuxi is taking all the feedback, positive and negative, to make better items in the future.
