Some games you will end up with a bad team, but overall that doesn't mean you can't try and minimize your own mistakes and play off the enemies issues. If your team mates are never carrying TP scrolls, is the enemy then you can easy check and abuse the fact their not? What about for wards? If you are a support, have you tried starting the game with smoke and ganking mid early on? Are countering the other teams Wards? What is your mindset with picking, or you going in gun ho playing a character you want, waiting to see what synergies with the team, randoming?

Honestly if I partied with them out of my own free will I wouldn't care (I have played with plenty of other gaffers before, some being very very new.

Probably doesn't help that I mostly only queue US West for dat ping comfort but still. Suckssss man.
You just dodging me ez.
Yeah i mean we push throne at 10 minutes. What you gonna do brotha.
This should be put in the OP. I get that its cathartic to complain about bad games but these things happen.

Bristle/Abaddon?
Alchemist, Bristleback, Earth Spirit and Centaur. The first three are incredibly strong, Centaur is decent but not great.

I feel we need some sort of GAF intervention for SteveWinwood when he comes back from his ban.
The man keeps queuing for All Random! Isn't there anyone who cares enough to steer him away from this path of self-destruction towards the light?
Also Axe in addition to the others mentioned above.

Undying is the #1 aggressive early game playmaker in Dota 2.
Also Axe in addition to the others mentioned above.
All random is a mode for real players, not pussies who permapick earth spirit or whatever the broken of the month is (incoming phoenix). Too bad it's not in ranked.

I think you have that backwards. Undying is the number 1 hero for punishing earlygame aggression because Tombstone requires the enemy to get in way over their heads with no easy escape.
All random is kinda fucked, I prefer limited draft?(the one were the game present you 3 choices) you usually get 3 fairly different heroes if you don't want to carry/gank/support etc.
Also some questions:
-Is Night Stalker the coolest ganker? thematically and visually wise.
-What are good items for WR after finishing the force staff and phase boots, usually a mek or/and a pipe seems good for the support, but feels like I'm missing something.

All random is the only mode for me. If you're not practicing a specific hero or looking to draft why would you play anything else?
Well, sure if you want to be a filthy earth-picker. I mean, 4100 ain't bad for hitting random first thing in every AP match.

To win.
You win AR the instant some coward decides to repick
I queue all random exclusively as well. It's the best mode. I just wish there was ranked all random.

Earth spirit isn't the only imbalanced hero available.

Please release 3 heroes based gaben

card-carrying scientician
Why even PLAY THE GAME if you're not going to TALK TO YOUR TEAM?
There needs to be a goddamn report option. You can't fucking co-ordinate with three deaf mutes

If you're picking to win and it's not earth I don't know what you're doin', you might as well random!
Also, every hero seems imbalanced in their own little ways, that's what makes the cohesive whole of dota so much fun and AR is perfect mode to showcase that.

May contain jokes =>
In the next hour or so probably.
I do tend to mute my whole team when they start going gg at nearly every bad thing or the usual lol noooooooob, etc.

Had my first game where someone just fucking threw it for no raisen. Our tiny tossed our almost dead Timbersaw at the other team, ran in and died, then DC'ed.
We had it won too. fuck you

Alch, Bristle and Timber are all much mor reliable pub stompers due to being able to use their kill advantage to snowball into a carry, unlike earth who makes space for his carry to farm safely.
It seems Navi has their own subreddit with a horrible style that they are trying to drum up popularity for.

Who ever manages Navi's public relations seems somewhat bad at their job. They are going to be doing some AMA's on that subreddit later.

They should somehow disable mute for the first few minutes or until someone has said at least 3 lines or spoken. People probably just mute everyone and act like it's a bot game or something. I've had plenty of games in which others straight up refuse to answer me or anyone else.
It's bad that I suffer from anxiety but still manage to be the only one trying to talk and direct the team. Maybe a fucking talking tutorial would help, but the last hitting one sure as he'll didn't.
EDIT: HOLY SHIT
Goddammit. They're doing that thing again where I give them $35
Wait, Unstable Concoction got stronger while flying before?
