So the most common way I'm currently losing games (~4.5k) is my team being utterly incapable of staying on the defensive when the early game didn't go well. Falling for the most obvious baits resulting in devastating fights outside of base instead of simply defending against their siege and waiting for an opening, the carry farming three jungle camps in exchange for a rax, chasing the last support over the entire lane while necro units kill our rax... why can't these supposedly decent people be level-headed for five fucking minutes in a situation like that?

do individual control groups... at least thats what ive always done
I get off work at 3pm or so, i swear on me mum ill rek u in the gabber m8 (really though i'm terrible, but i'm looking for a ton of practice mid so i can pretty much play all day today)
I hate this shit. We have fucking high ground. Stop chasing people in the goddamn jungle when we don't know where the fuck they all are.
They probably just want to ensure they get the hero they wanted to play. Then they proceed to screw over their team.
I would also be interested in this.

moments like this throw me into that gamer rage
I saw some comment on reddit that was like "imagine the reaction if this was EA having server issues every other day instead of Valve"
It's not as if they have the money to go and build data centres of their own though, those things are hella expensive.
I tried not playing hard support for ONE GAME and had a CM who went shadowblade first despite us being behind and a Shadow Demon who disrupted the enemy every time I started spinning into them as Jugg and contested last hits. No wards up by 10 minutes and a flying courier at 12 minutes. Also bloodstone battlefury Kunkka. Also everyone except me spoke chinese. Kill me.

Why get smoke when you can go SHADOW BLADE!?
Solo queue is suffering
Things were going so well for me.
In the last game I got blamed simultaneously for either not teamfighting or not pushing enough. Can't even get their blames together, you have to pick one or the other assholes. Warlock completely wrecks me as Meepo for some reason (likely because I'm not very good but also because nets don't work on those big things).
Yeah Valve gets a lot of slack as a company compared to the industry as a whole; however, that's all based on their prior reputation, and honestly, if things don't change, their reputation will, and you can bet people's patience will start to wear thin. Look at the diretide fiasco, that wasn't even a reaction to just diretide, that was just pent up frustration from months of no communication and no new content with diretide ultimately being the catalyst and becoming the face of the issue.

Not nearly as much as partying for me
I have that one friend thats always online and always playing and I dont know how to tell him no
dat 33% win ratio with him in like 20 games
You can remedy party failures by finding better people. You're tossing coins when you solo queue. Might just be salty cuz I play support and every solo queue game everyone wants to be a superstar so I'm stuck playing ward nanny.

just use it as an excuse to buy some awesome couriers to show off to your temporary ebuddies how cool you are :3
also a good excuse to show off your wards! hey man, couriers have all the swag
Ask me about my wiener dog
This.
There's also server maintenance going on. Sure it may not be in your queue area, but it could be causing issues inadvertently.
Ouch, I wouldn't pick Meepo against Warlock. Fatal Bonds is some nasty shit against him in particular.

PSA don't feed in ranked games if you have a significant amount of money invested in hats (or at least steamrep the other 9 people for valve employee accounts)

I'm pretty sure not deliberately feeding is a good idea regardless of whether or not you may be pissing off a Valve employee.

Do people still price dota 2 keys at a little under $2.50 or has it fallen more?
Pureauthor

I think it's 1.8 USD. Market price has risen though, most probably because you can bet keys now on D2Lounge.

Gotcha. I figured it would go down to tf2 levels eventually.
Hahaha fuck that guy

He had a long history of abuse that included reports of death threats made to his actual Steam account (not on Dota). His abuse was so bad Valve warned him of possible police involvement.
So I don't have sympathy at all for him.

he worked at starbucks, so I'm pretty sure he was spending all his spare cash on hats
Kid is obviously a sociopath. Threatened to commit suicide if Valve didn't return his stuff.
That dev forum is the worst. People defending the guy with the worst arguments I've ever seen.

I get why they did what they did and I think the guy is a dbag but I think the ban is the wrong move.
Also that guys inventory is a dream...

Valve should auction off his stuff in the Market and make money with it.
Edit: Thanks a lot for getting all your cool stuff removed from the trade circulation, jackass.

Wow. Sounds like that guy is a typical spoiled person that rages when things don't go his way.
Yep
Nah, if you threaten to kill people in real life then you kinda should be taking more extreme measures.
The guy was reported 50 times more than any other person playing Dota 2
That Valve hasn't already contacted local PD is more restraint than I'd have shown.
