Russian invasion of Scandinavia confirmed, RIP SWEDEN.
My rune control was poor because I had to catch up in farm and levels and couldn't afford to leave lane. Those first two kills he already had on me made him snowball because he got those lucky runes. There was a difference I couldn't make up. Ganking was useless since I had no farm.
I know I made some mistakes, but still you have to admit it was those runes that caused him to snowball.
Oh yeah, ksan and kazabi. How did I forget our resident racist Swedes.
He could have killed you without the regen rune, but probably wouldn't have dove without it, you see him grab the invis and don't bother to play defensively. You can watch the replay and you'll see these things, you'll see how you can play better, but you choose to complain in the thread and try to blame everything but yourself.
You could have avoided two of his first three kills if you had changed how you played.

I think his point is there's no reason to dwell on runes when that isn't going to change. People get 'lucky' runes, it happens. Might as well concentrate on what you did wrong instead as it's the only thing you can change.
Noted.
He would have tower hitting him though, and I was trying to get the Vortex on him first but he managed to get laser off first. That was why I went in on it, but then he had the regen rune and that made him have more health.
And like I said, I'm not saying I didn't make mistakes, but that factor was probably the biggest contributor.

Got into Low Priority queue for the first time because my internet went out randomly for 18 minutes. It was weird because I haven't had an abandon since January, probably also due to some sort of technical failure. I thought if they were spaced out enough you wouldn't get Low Pri.
Anyway, it turned out to be alright, and the 3rd game was one of my most fun Rubick games in recent memory.

Stream is back up!
I'm at 3968 solo MMR, so 1-2 more games should get to me to 4K if all goes well.

I'm guessing Lina could one-shot anyone by the end?
Also, could someone give a more advanced rundown of which items are best for what situations on Clock. I know that mek, blademail, agh's, shiva's, AC, BKB, Forcestaff etc are all situational, but sometimes I'm not sure which is best.
You seem really optimistic about it considering how our games went.
It was all Rez's fault anyway.

Yeah, lol. Her player actually called carry when we were picking, so I just assumed we were in for a dumb game. On top of that the Pudge player picked him last after invoker called mid and landed like 1 hook the entire game. The Lina ended up being really good, though. The other team did end up giving up too early, which kinda dulled the victory, but I still got to have fun so whatever.
Can't reports also send you into low prio?
You should have picked Lion to have the most fun that game.

Network down?
It was down for me for a few minutes, seems back up.
You know, I hate when you know you are behind for whatever reason, and your team knows it too, but instead of helping you when you ask, they sit there and ping you and give you "Well Played, well played well played" isntead of helping.
Ember Spirit rushed BoTs, I didn't have enough mana to zip far away enough, he comes in, I try to run WHILE UNDER MY TOWER, he's chasing me for at least 20 seconds, and I ping it and ask for TPs, NOBODY TPS and people just say "STFU noob". Seriously?! That doesn't fucking help.

I think you are putting too much focus on being behind too early. Yea sometimes it happens but I've noticed things are better if you make a few adjustments and don't force things to happen. A few team fights later or just additional match time after laning phase can open space and allow you to get some farm. Even a few assists can help you out and get you on your way to some items.
For all you know the match may be an hour long. A few deaths and missed last hits in the first 10 minutes isn't going to be the deciding factor.

But that's the thing, usually it is, because we've lost everything based on just that.

I guess I just focus on getting things back under control one step at a time. I always keep the attitude it's going to be a long match and things can happen. Yea I may have had no farm but my teammates may when two fights and take two towers out of nowhere and now I'm in decent shape. Just waiting for that may be better than forcing a fight to cause another death or over extending your push in the lane for a few more last hits. Even being low leveled and in the vicinity of a few team kills can bring you back into it.
I've been in matches where we were down by 10 deaths within the first 15 minutes and slowly turned it around. Most of the time this happens Its seems I've had omni on the team to assist once he gets his ult up. One issue is he is so slow at the start so your team will always be at a disadvantage until he gets levels and a few items. Anyone else think he may be the best hero to assist with a turnaround of a stomp (considering your carries stick with it)?
This is the point where I'd do some co-op bot matches for fun or take a break.
I'm watching this Disraptor in Trav's tournament and I don't approve of his build.
For all aspiring Raptor players, the ideal build is 1-3-1. Occasionally, you might go 3-1-1 or some other mix but Raptor is picked for Glimpse and Static Storm. Another 0.5 on Kinetic Field is not worth 400 range on Glimpse.

yep, especially glimpse level 2 makes a huge difference.

1 abandon in ranked means low prio

So this game was weird. Firstly there was the fact the 3-stack we got put with were named as communist dictators, which was funny. Me and my mate crushed our lane and I rushed Agh's after bottle treads so we were stomping. Then Rubick manages to cliff a centaur at the dire large camp near base and the 3 of them spend the rest of the game sitting there trying to cliff more animals. I got so bored I was just hooking into the base 1v5 cus there was nothing else to do. I couldn't finish on my own after all. So I'd go in, get 2 kills with AA ult to back me up and die. Rinse and repeat for 20 mins. Very strange. They did eventually go mid and end it.

I just watched the last 15 mins of your latest loss where you played Puck. Some really weird item choices from your team in that game. So many Ghost Scepters and why buy BoT when it is clearly not needed. Linkens would have been much better. And I have no idea what a Ursa is doing with a hex and a AC and no Heart or Vlads.
Against the Ember? How?
thank you much

Hex bad
Heart good
Not really understanding why people say hex is bad on Ursa. Or perhaps they mean "bad" in the sense as in, no, it's not bad to have, but there are better things to fill those slots with and let your team take care of what hex does.
