If I were a high enough level to play ranked I would probably be at 1201 mmr.
Shit tier.

My Google-fu is weak. I'm looking for this video of Pyrion Flax playing as Axe on Dire. He gets royally screwed over by a Rubick and tossed up on to the ward spot by Dire Tier 2 safelane and can't get down until there's a flying courier. Rubick even comes back and snipes the courier and interrupts PFlax's tp out.
I can't find the video on his channel or on reddit where I thought I first saw it.

Link please.
Pick Alch, intending to support -> Left as the only carry-built hero by unanimous silence -> Thereafter blamed for every single item choice, setback and the eventual loss. Lolnoob first game Alch can't outcarry three farmed cores, shit fagot (sp) delete dota.
Sure sucks being the loner (and thus fall guy [fallchamist?]) in queue sometimes, particularly when same said asshole seems to lack the self-awareness to congratulate with the same specificity that he bitches.
"Oh, thank you for the generic thank you that doesn't even mention me by name, Bane. That sure makes all the homophobic garbage you spewed at specifically me and only me even." Stay trashy.

I always speak russian english on EU! Heavy accent but it's the funniest shit.

Solo queue is often a harrowing journey, where you stand and the edge of the abyss and sometimes it not only gazes back but questions your mother's fidelity and your sexual orientation. In many different languages.

I was watching Purge play a pub with Eosin and they mentioned that one of the top guides for Dota 2 right now is an English to Russian guide you can use for basic communication, which they used to play with their teammates. It's the LPQ Invoker game cos Eosin got some abandons.

Pity there isn't one for Spanish to English.

I managed to steal 98 int while our team climbed out of a 30-minute long 20k gold deficit. It felt damn good.
This is the most amazing thing I've seen in Dota

Sometimes if I want a good laugh I go through the dev forum. Does Valve even listen to that place's feedback other than for bugfixes?

Like PFlax says, that Rubick is a legend. The toss, the courier snipe, the TP interrupt. So good, such epic trolling. They lost in the end but that Rubick was the moral victor. I can't believe that was a 5 stack and it took that long for AM to give PFlax a tp scroll.

99% of the time the changes made to Dota were at one point during the previous 2 weeks, a top rated Reddit thread.
At this point, I have to believe Reddit is the unofficial hub for Dota 2 suggestions.
Just a shame any Steam Support person will instantly send you to dev.dota2.com if you mention Dota in your email, even if it's an issue with billing or something and not able to be helped at the Dev forums.

Laned against my first earth spirit as void. Never again. Never. Again.
I also had an earth spirit and ember spirit on my team in another game. They wrecked their Lane but we ended up losing thanks to NP and Pl split pushes. We almost came back though lol.
Also had one game where me and my friend wreck this solo safe Lane TA as dirge and cm but then our teammates start doing who knows what and the other pudge just starts taking over. Guess who gets blamed for the loss. Lol. I Love this community. I admit, I shouldve built better items but I thought the game was in the bag :/

Today I played with a Viper mid who of course had a big mouth.
Of course he did not gank, which is one thing, but the second think was that after boots (and no bottle) he had saved up 2500 (with barely any kills or towers) while still in the laning phase. I was wondering what the hell he was going to buy but he finally decided to buy a Bottle and Yasha.
No wonder he lost mid.

I watched this live and was DYING.

Queued for US West and actually got my best game of DOTA so far. Good coordination, friendly teammates, everyone speaks english, I got plenty of advice when I asked for it, and people actually told me to farm instead of "wtf come here cyka" as soon as one person loses a lane.
Maybe I should just queue for West from now on.

Yeah I had a Gyro game today that started fairly well, I was freefarming, and when fights broke out I asked if my team wanted me to join in. Our timber says no just farm we can handle it. Was a pleasant surprise after so many games where you get pinged for not tping into a 5-man gank to die with the other people in that lane.

As someone who exclusively plays on US West, you just got lucky. Plenty of Brazilians, Russians, and ragers of all kinds over here too.
That last game was hilarious, although I imagine it must have been infuriating for you. That Alchemist though, I wonder how many more kills your team would have gotten if he had levelled stun earlier.

Yeah it's one of the most confusing things about solo queue for me. It seems like a mathematical thing where if you lose a lane really badly and feed a hero or two on the other team, it means they already have a level and farm advantage. If we all bunch up it's just guaranteeing that they keep that advantage due to EXP and farm limitations of 5-man DOTA unless we have 2-3 terrific team fights in a row, but most likely we'll lose the teamfight because their team is more farmed when we fight.
Unless I'm missing something it doesn't make sense to decide to lose every lane after you lose one lane. It's like getting a bad hand in poker and being like "well we gotta all-in now"
That's a shame, I've had nothing but matches with Russians/Pinoys on US East for the last couple of days.
All hispanics for me, no idea why.

So after over 1000 games I finally ran into an intentional feeder. He went Lich and a friend of mine was playing Lina. Well Lich kept diving 5-1 team fights and wasting his ult and kept dying. We told him to stop diving and he proceeds to say Lich is only useful for his ult and keeps fussing at Lina for not abusing her ult. So after him dying solo for the 3rd time he gets pissed and for the next 25 minutes begins to start feeding. He sold all of his items and kept feeding their TA. Than would tell the other team when we were smoked and warn them on us ganking them. Ugh, we were a 4 stack and get stuck with the worst dude ever.
I had a Veno give up the other day, sell all of his items, and suicide over and over without attacking or casting abilities. People who give up are the worst.
Guys, I don't think he's OP at all
The game where I went 9-1 was them just randomly walking into towers. Silence is very hard to land. The other combo where you stun, roll, kick enemy back seems to be easier to pull off but it just rarely result in kills. I don't know what everyone is talking about

You'll have an epiphany soon and understand.
Maybe you need coaching on it?
I wish Alchemist still had the music in his ult activation sound.

Totally balanced man
Well if anyone feels up to it. I'm on EU west. Off to bed now though.
Edit: Okay screw sleeping, I'm gonna watch Demoli's game.
It's like they thought that since it was on such low hp it would die on it's own lol

"practice makes broken."
always remember that. If you were expecting to play him like a veteran in your first couple of games without any practice matches, you were mistaken. As was recommended to me: go spend some time with him with the silences and pulls in WTF mode. Watch some replays of someone who's doing it right so that you can understand where to position yourself for engagements, when to roll in and when to sit back and control everything and everyone.
