I hate it when we win lanes and lead in kills early game but still lose the match because our teamfight heroes are trash.

Wanted my 4 person team (I was dead) to push their T3 and racks when Dragon Knight and Skeleton King were dead, but no, they wanted to fall back. Well, fuck you team.

Also, I think I had my first match of 'Support without feeding'. 4 kills, 5 deaths, 33 assists as KOTL. Also loved all my items at the end.

Did you bait out the bkbs?? I mean I think I would've been better to just wait till they turn their bkbs and pop the song fight 3v5 that way you deal with Rubick and necro later.

I couldn't do much after Overgrowth. Ench didn't do much either. CK and Viper were doing work but we wouldn't get kills and then everyone would just fall back. I was usually the Necro scythe target, so I spent the latter half of the game watching my teammates get kills while not pushing, getting ganked, or falling back from teammates because of low health. I'm a super scrub right now and not a good treant by any means, but our early game was super good which makes this worse.

We traded tier 2s very early and we didn't take their mid t3 mid game. I think those two mistakes cost us the game.

Man that's weird. Enchant can have some insane mid and late-game damage IMO, between her and Viper heroes should have been melting.

1. Your ally naga doesn't have Bfly with SK and Gondar around.
2. Your Nyx went Dagon 5, instead of probably Hex or Heavens.
3. You also went dagon, lol

The game was probably over when you guys failed to end the game at 20~min mark.

Honestly we had a great mid game but it fell apart as soon as Rubick wised up and kept perfectly stealing Golem ult.
 
Sometimes this game makes me question the sanity of the people playing:

Centaur is with me on the lane, proceeds to buy no starting items to go for ring of health first. Competes with me, carry, for every lasthit resulting in both of us getting nothing.
We lane against a Dark Seer but this guy seems to have no idea what Ion Shell does. Dark seer pops 2 of them, but hell Centaur really needs the last hits and dies. First Blood! Great start.

He then continues to do stuff like going 1vs3 and tries to kill a puck!? Dies of course. Doesn't save me or himself, instead uses his double edge to kill himself basically. Goes vanguard after pipe 30 minutes in.

Really never have I seen a person being this bad with Cent.

Hope you never end up in a game with me where i have to play Centaur.
That said, i believe i wouldn't do quite as badly as that guy, i'd just be somewhat ineffective.

I really don't care much when people are just unsure what to do and mistime their stun or ultimate. But when you do stuff that is so insane that you are basically on the verge of feeding, that's something other.

Also laning against darkseer, we all told him to swap the place with veno and go to another lane. Nope.
Really, why play a team game like Dota when you don't want to work with anyone? He should just go play 1v1 mid all day.

I understand.
We see such people when playing with my friend... odd item builds (like nonsensical ones), Tiny who throws my friend and me (both playing supports) to middle of enemies, people who want to kill Roshan when it ain't a proper time and then go alone there to die, giving the kill to the enemy team...
 
AFK farm as Void for 25 mins

Join my first fight with Treads/Deso/MoM/BF and almost rampage

Feels good man, especially since i havent played Void in months
 
Am I just now noticing some new spell effects persisting on the attacked hero? I've seen Bristleback's quills sticking into enemy heros and yesterday I saw QoPs dagger stuck in someone's back as they ran away. Are these new, and are there any more?
 
I call out some people when they do shit on purpose. Never been muted.


MAYBE because I don't call them retards and use foul language (except for the some fucks here and there).

Not new. Maybe you just aren't looking very hard. DotA is a damn fine looking game. All the little details make it excellent
 
So I just played the tutorial of DOTA2.

Seems like a pretty simple/easy game to play. Reminds me of BFME2 and Rise of the Witch King.

Where do I go from here?

Practice with bots with various heroes until you find a one you like. Then got into the co-op versus bots and get more experience using them. People are generally nice about being a newcomer, and will give tips if you're having trouble.

I disagree

Play the tutorial

Play 5-10 co-op bot games

Then start playing real games. Too much bots gives you bad habits

The Viper thing he mentioned he absolutely has a point. To some degree though you should be able to address their mistakes without getting muted though. Reminds me of when I (probably) got muted because of the Venge that swapped my Meepos.
Click to expand...

You can though. Just don't be derogatory about it. When I solo queue, I call out people on their mistakes all the time and I've never been muted. I just make it a point not to call them an idiot or lead with "OMG...you stupid noob.." There's a huge difference between destructive and constructive criticism.
 
Got inspired to play Alch after seeing him stomp in one of the games I was watching at work yesterday.

Wow, what a fun character to play.

thwap, thwap, thwap, thwap
 
Valve dev is already sending GAF guild invites. :o

If you're a thread regular, check for an invite the next time you log in.

Except some will rage at you if you play sub par

(true story, it was vs high skill bracket people and a stack for that)

While I have had a couple unpleasant experiences playing with fellow GAF members, that was definitely the exception. Most Gaffers have been fun to play with.

How come a Valve dev is making the guild?

To stop scrubs from creating their own GAF guild?

What do you have to do for an invite?

edit: can you rename a guild after it's made?

so many questions.
 
I am being denied my due.

This injustice will not be borne.
