Everytime I want to pick Legion Commander but someone among the opponents is faster than me, I just choose Abaddon so that Legion Commander loses every duel.
I have noticed some people countering Legion Commander with Storm Spirit, but I have never played this hero. It looks fun though.

So mumblegaf did a secret santa and here are the results.
*many of these are inside jokes hence the absurdity
I'm glad I understand some of these. Well done guys.

First ranked game I won I was playing CM, before that I was picking carries. Warding and roam ganking seems to do a lot more than trying to play hard carry, especially when people just pick god awful lanes regardless of your intentions. To be fair I've only played like 3-4 ranked matches, and my team mates were megaton better for each one. I'm guessing it starts like you're on a fresh account?
he's probably the most broken hero in the game next to broodmother bro

Really, really into Legion Commander. She's got the support-killing, 1v1-winning style of Spirit Breaker, Undying's healing and durability, and an ult similar to Axe's guaranteed kill.
granted he's also probably the hardest hero in the game to play next to meepo so don't feel too bad
Meepo is hard??
I think Chen and Invoker are 10000x harder(and Chen is my 2nd best hero)
Wat.
Just go watch Jeraxai play. I legit watched him for at most ten minutes and he made my ES a hundred times better.
bro i am of the 2 spell max invoker philosophy school of thought and i got like 75% win 5 kda masters diamond 3 star invoker player
If they are so broken, why do I suck so much with both of them
Also, Chen is easy, invoker isn't that bad ether.

Your daily reminder never to solo queue.
I was 2/2/3 before they started fountain diving. It's like...idunno man. I've played maybe 20 matches in the last 5 months and can still outplay an entire team of daily players. It was just embarrassing. No wards, no support. No communication except to yell at each other. Rubick support literally stood behind me the entire laning phase. Didn't toss out toss out any Q's or W's. Didn't stand imposingly. Didn't even pretend he could be useful.
Every time I looked up, I was hearing "triple kill!" in my ears. My farm wasn't the greatest thing in the world I agree, but I was basically 2v1 against Morphling and Wisp early.
I almost forgot how bad players can be sometimes. Was good to see I was still on my stacking game.
Yeah but we had already used up our Smoke to kill the main carry and using Smoke to gank a NP is a waste when you never know if his TP is up or not. He might TP before you get there.

Imagine if Chen had like 4 other centaurs and they all had more than one spell. And if one of the centaurs died you did as well. And you didn't have a global oh god I'm dying save me ult.
Bam meepo.

Meepo is harder than invoker.
He's also not nearly as good as a hero.

Invoker can win an average low level pub game solely with cold snap and deafening blast. I know, I've done it.
You can't stumble into a winner with meepo unless you're the luckiest guy around with amazing teammates. Not even because he's hard to use but because he's so easy to kill and keep track of for people who have no clue what they're doing.
I found Invoker much easier to play with than I anticipated. I only memorized a handful of spell combinations but I really relied on my forge spirit/cold snap combo early on, then you take into account the way you build him with skills makes certain other spells irrelevant for a big portion of the game and I got comfortable really fast. Now I feel like Invoker is one of the heroes that I make the biggest impact with, I feel like I get big blowout KDAs with him more than any other hero. Good times.
if you can press qqqr and eeer you're about halfway to being decent
Whoa we got a badass over here

So how easy is Quas/Wex Invoker? I've only ever really played Quas/Exort Invoker and he was pretty easy even with micro involved (apart from sunstriking people obviously)
I recommend that when you solo queue in DOTA, please go in with the mindset that everyone is there to win, including the enemy team, and if you lose and it's not obviously* a teammates fault, the enemy team outplayed your team and potentially it might be your own fault. This kind of thinking helps keep me mentally sound. Don't be ashamed of a loss, learn from mistakes.
*If one of your teammates buys nothing but Poor Man's Shields then go ahead and flame him.
Don't forget qqer and qeer!
Yeah same. When I first started to be more knowledgeable about how to play well I got really frustrated at my teammates, but now I usually look at what I did wrong before anyone else unless it's an extreme case. Unless you are one of the high-tier players here (milk etc) then you will always have done something wrong, something you could have done better. I just try to identify them.

I cant buy anything from the marketplace because I used a new card? Really steam? fuck you
Meepo is as tough or as easy as you want him to be. If you just want to roll around with mek, auras and heart he's pretty easy, but not a great hero. If you want to start using stuff like blink and a few active items like hex and eblade while split pushing with travels, he's much more difficult.
Almost all my solo queue games have generally been pretty positive, but maybe I just rub off on my teammates or don't know enough about dotes or just try to improve.
If you miss all your kicks and can't do the basic combo, then yeah don't play him.
Can either of you elaborate what parts you don't like? Myself and Hippie would greatly appreciate it.
lol git gud
I really don't think ES is hard to do well with. IMO his skill ceiling is very high if you start talking about using items mid roll and pulling other rocks mid roll, but at the core he is stupidly strong.

I'll pm you what I feel he can improve upon.
Maybe bad is a little harsh, but a while ago when I first found dota radio I ended up listening to him a lot, but today maybe I was just in a bad mood.

Offhand impressions and both thoughtful criticism are welcomed.
He mentioned to me before I read the thread that he was pretty exhausted after 6 games.

King tried to quit Dota and install League. He then somehow uninstalled League and quit and now he's back to Dota.
Silly King.

So safe to say the bottom is 1000 and the top is 6000.
I thought there was a streamer who had over 6k for a while.
