Wasn't that the motto for Dreams that shit philipines team
Today we won a game because we just defended for long enough until the point the enemy team starting fighting with eachother and it ended with a AFK and a raguequiter on that team. Worst part? We could barely fight 5vs3 for the most part of the game.

Okay for the last several months has the "Accept Match" button been really sticky for anyone else? I often have to click twice, and I just "declined" a match because I clicked and looked away and when I looked back it hadn't taken
Oh man, that forum is great. The one guys signature block about how the muting system punishes people for communicating.... and then this hilarious comment:
I spit out my drink. HILARIOUS.
idk, my friends and I have said it since like 6.28
Yep, happened to me today, has happened a couple of times in the past few months

It still is
never give up. ever.
edit: in fact, I will always remember one match in particular. Down about 25,000 gold and XP, enemy pushing the last rax for megas, T4's down and creeps wailing on the ancient. Our ancient gets dropped down to 33hp on account of an enemy team member attacking it. We kill that hero and the siege creeps. We make the game last another 20 minutes and win. I've also been in and watched teams with 30k xp leads crumble. One of my friends lost a match with a 25k xp lead a couple months ago. NP doto strong doto.

With that first blood patch, did it add offline mode?
There's just a ton of them out there.

A conglomeration of issues:
1.) Because they're all old items with the exception of the new axe set. Nobody wants old items because everyone has them. WD, Omni and Axe items are like among the oldest items in the game. You can't trade them because everyone has them so nobody is going to take them off your hands.
2.) Their items also tend to be objectively ugly. Morphs items tend to be fucking hideous, as are many of Axe's.
3.) Neither WD nor Omni are particularly popular. Neither is morph for that matter.

Sorry but I can only issue refunds in my tears.
I really dislike my team captains drafts. In case you didnt recognize it, that second match was drafted for teamfight....
Recent player here, but I've always had that issue too.

Yeah that was silly stompy.
DOTA 2 has had "offline mode" since they added offline bot practice, it has a local server file it boots when you use it, and DOTA 2 itself detects when you have no internet connection and disables any button that uses internet traffic. Just boot Steam into offline mode and try it yourself.

yea being able to spam Q from range to farm is pretty huge for a melee carry that may have otherwise been bullied out of a lane.
I for one am shocked at this revelation.

I don't know how we won, but god damn it feels good. Is there anyway to further report the Dazzle?
I really don't know what set him off, but atleast he helped towards the end.
Should add more info. The Dazzle went crazy, calling eveyone "noob". Then went on for 20 mins buying couriers and sending them to the enemy team. If we smoked he would tell them where we were.
Weirdest game of Dota I've played.

It took me like 500 games, but I've finally learned the joys of farming and how to carry.
I didn't have a single kill till the 30 minute mark, then it just got out of control.

I wish people who can't handle to have a bad draft and/or lose a game would just not queue for All Random. At least repick if you see that your draft won't work. Calling the opposing side noobs and idiots with OP heroes when you start to lose the game is stupid.
Anyway, All Random is my favourite mode!

I always call people out on their picks in AR if it's something stupidly imbalanced.
Part of why I don't like playing it too much - besides any other factors, the game could be essentially decided by coin flip at the start based on heroes.

I think the fun in it is to try to make something work out of what you get. I've seen plenty of AR games we *should* have lost, but managed to win because of how we played it out.
spec was getting chased by abbadon and coming to kill you would have been certain death, potm rotated from mid and used arrow to kill abbadon, never even getting close to you?
That's the reason we play all random. Making a support only draft work out is some of the most fun I've had in the game. You know what you sign up for if you queue AR, so don't get salty if your randoms suck. You can repick anyway, so if I see your shitty heroes and you don't even try to repick it's your own fault.
What items do you guys typically start Night Stalker with? Being able to get a few last hits and survive before the first nightfall still feels awkward for me. I suppose that's the point, but yeah, maybe someone has something else to add here. I never gave a fuck about this hero before, but he's really fun now that I've spent more time with him. Want to get better.
I love how the Abaddon just walks over to you and pauses, as if to think "Yep, this Puck sure is stuck alright."

You need tangoes for the coup de grace.
You should be mid, so tango+3 branches+stout if the enemy is ranged. Then bottle, then phase, then urn/vanguard.

Stout if vs. ranged yeah. Otherwise I like two gauntlets, tango, and a couple of branches. Quick urn buildup. Vanguard is not an item you want on NS. If vs. ranged it's good if you get pooled a tango because then you can go stout + 2 gauntlets or 1 guantlet + branches.
