Sure, you don't want to be hindered. I'm sure those 4 people on your team felt completely unhindered when they were fighting 4v5 for the rest of the game.
I don't abandon that often but if it wasn't for the group punishment ( since I was with 2 friends for an mmr game ) I would a left a game recently.
The pick was luna/crystal/phantom lancer/sniper(me)/distruptor, no mid called before the game started; and with such a setup, distruptor insisted to take the mid because 'sniper is shit' and 'there wouldn't be any gank if sniper were mid', try to tell him how a distruptor is kind of a better support than a sniper, he didn't listen, I still stay mid, he decide to compete on last hit with me and ultimatly to feed himself to the ennemy pudge.
I still pretty much carried my team ( thought we still lost to PA with divine rapiere by 50 min ) , but there you have it, either leave and get into low prio, or stay and either play seriously ( but ultimatly loose as expected, after wasting 50 min of your time ), or do like the other player, throw the match, and still loose pretty much 20-30 of your ( and ally ) time.
But hey, /any form of/ a true concede option would bring hell to dota 2 and there would never be any comeback ever again, etc blahblah...

Well this explains a lot.
You walked into the guy with the stun:
And you have a lich which is more or less just begging someone to push down your tower by saying 'hey we'll help you by making it so you have one less creep to worry about each wave' which is why you lost your tower so soon.

You do realise what happens after 5 minutes don't you? If they play after that, that's on them.
They can leave without any mark against them and queue up for the next healthy dose of dota after a measly 300 seconds.
You seem quite upset about 5 minutes, pls BibleThump

NP in EE's game is making me laugh.
Treants to the rescue.
Treants to the rescue.
Lich leaving is actually the smart move here. You need to learn to relax and not go for every single last hit, especially when it means walking into a centaur stomp. I just don't see how that's worth it at all. Not putting points in spell shield and stats is another weird decision. You complained about your team not helping you but it's only 4 minutes in and you've done yourself no favours.
I still feel like that only solves half the problem: Sure I might not die, but I'm still not getting farm. What am I supposed to do without rotations from the team?
But you've lost them the game, the mark they're getting against them is a loss. I mean I know you're the coolest guy that's ever lived and everything just rolls right off you, but winning is important to some people. Most people care more about that then being able to last hit as a carry in the first 4 minutes. Your conduct is disgusting.
buy a qb at the start if ur not confident in ur last hitting. qb stout tango is fine. There were alot of missed opportunities for last hits, and the ones that you went for you overextended into a centaur+dirge. Also furion+am is just absolutely awful for a team, but iunno which picked first so i wont comment too much on that.
if u rly need help playing hard carry in solo ranked, i can do some coaching or w/e or watch one of ur vods and try to point out what happened. Picking hard carry is almost always the easiest way to climb ranked mm if thats what ur going for.

Consider this, by assigning 3 players to your lane, they are lessening their pressure of other lanes and they get less xp then you. All you have to do is not die while your teammates get easy farm. Thats 2 lanes they can push vs 1
Does that offer apply to other scrubs?

Your QB sniper mid is just 100% scum.
AM was picked 2nd 15 seconds in, NP was last picked with 0 time on the clock.
Also, I feel like I should take you up on that hard carry coaching offer sometime next week.
I considered this, but what about the regen you are missing out on? Especially if you're eating a lot of ranged harass.
109 never helped me
I'm not upset.
The fact of the matter is, you think you're better than everyone else and you think you are sacrificing your own noble self and doing everyone a favour by abandoning a game and going into low priority when the truth is, you are actually causing a lot of inconvenience and grief to nine other people who are unlucky enough to be matched with you. The worst part is, you are at the very core of the toxic segment of the Dota 2 community and you don't even realize it. It's quite incredible, really.

I believe there was a team that ran offlane Omni/mid DK/jungle Chen/safelane CK & Leshrac so he does have use as a solo laner. Can't remember who it was though.
EG did that, but I mean way old school. Dota 1.

Well shit. I think I've seen videos of DotA comp games with mid Omni but that sounds like a long time ago.
Can't think of anything recent at mid, since Omni hasn't been popular at all in Dota 2. I'm thinking of the time around before the first International. That said, EG playing him was a lot of fun. Demon Omni on the offlane, solo killing an anti-mage. Good stuff.

No, I played BALLS (HotS) at Blizzcon. Objectives are the only thing that matters (push strats or nothing), movement is horrendously bad, there are no items (kill creeps to have them push lanes), level advantages are nearly impossible to gain or maintain, big teamfight objectives basically kill a tower minimum.
It felt awful and there are too many design decisions they need to reverse to fix it.
If you want a casual 'fight fight fight' moba with Blizzard characters this is that.
Sweet.

so dota then
Keep those replies for the moba mega thread.
Did someone say Meepo?
50! 50 Meepos! Ah ha ha!
Wait, what?
This doesn't sound right. Isn't picking a hero like AM in uncoordinated solo ranked just asking for a loss?
Depends on the hero.

AM is p much the "most played, lowest WR" hero in the game.
However, take Wraith King for example, 56% WR in pubs.

Sometimes even Terrorblade with a 15 minute BKB and a thirty minute heart can't defeat the power of Late-Game Luna
Feels pretty good when you're the Luna
