6.81: the amount of hats you purchase directly correlates with how much RNG works in your favor.
Yes but the only constant in all of his games is himself, if he consistently plays better than the opposition (which he should if he plays semi-frequently) his MMR is gonna go up.

Well, that is what you get with supports. You just get items that support the team.

personally, if your complaint is having foreigners and leavers, i think you should play the game where you have friends to play with
otherwise i recommend avoiding allpick because other modes have less foreigners

Like I said I agree, but a lot of things you would apply normally in your games won't do anything if your team won't use them.
For instance let's say you buy a Smoke and say "Let's go gank their Terrorblade in their jungle", and then you end up the only one going because the rest of your team decided to play Farmville 2014. That isn't to say you should never Smoke in the trench, but it is so much less effective if your team does nothing with it.

That's why I decided to go captain's. At least there are some picks which match each other.
I just play to have fun, I don't care being a pro or anything, so I didn't spend a single minute to read guys. I just pick builds InGame and get some of the items and try which others would fit better.
After playing dota for 100hrs, I learnt that I enjoy being a support which can get mad too is more fun for me. Like Bane or Darkseer. But also enjoy WD, Dazzle and CM

I don't know much about MMR and all that, but I achieved lvl 17 in less than 3 months (stopped playing for 1 month cause of school, so more like less than 2 months). And I recognized needed EXP doesn't go over 1000 per lvl, so in my thoughts everyone under lvl 20 is a complete newbie to this game, and everyone under lvl 40 isn't anything but a from-time-to-time player.
Funny thing is, till 3 weeks ago I really was like "omg riki is OP being invisible". But I don't like this hero any longer, since I find it too easy with heros like drow/sniper/riki.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but what exactly is dotabuff? And what do you mean by sharing my stats? How many win-loss I got?
That level system really means nothing experience wise as it is only there for getting hats.
To do the Dotabuff thing, go to options in Dota 2, under "Game" there should be an option that says something like "Allow sharing of stats". Turn that on, and after that go to dotabuff.com and enter your Steam display name. That will pull up a profile that should be you. Link that profile here.

one word, "peruvians"
also I totally wish my work was more conducive to playing dota 2. However, I am stuck playing games like warface, hearthstone, and diablo 3

It's a website that collects your games and whatnot.
It just allows easy access to showing scoreboards and stats.

Implying I'm behind you scrub.
For sure, I'm just mentionning SD because its also a fun gamemode to play.
That will change fast. The issue with dota-like games in general is that there's alot of things to learn about the game. So the more you learn, the more you spot nooby mistakes, the higher the chances of you getting mad because of a teammate's mistakes.
The better you'll get, the more likely you are to rage.
nvm then, too much time difference, doubt I could help you in-game.
Profile lvl means nothing. The heroes you named are generally considered pubstompers because invisibility is usually very good against pubs because people don't buy the items to counter them (pub sniper and drow will commonly buy shadowblade).

Just settle this with some good ol' fashioned mmr dick-wielding
I'm just kidding, no idea of the skill level of most of dotagaf and I'm sure many could easily stomp me.
Played my first game against reals peoples for a while, went 21-3 as Slark. So nice to have a good support in my lane. He did the real work, bought sentries for the weaver, set up easy pounces for me, etc. All I had to do was sit back and wait for him to set up shit. And then once I got a ridiculously fast basher and Skadi it was ez. Nice and relaxing.

Never tried SD, should do that.
Yep already learnt that. When I started I didn't understand why people were mad at me dieing at minute 3 and never bought a tp. Now I can't understand why people RUN from bot to top, which then results in loosing a lane. instead of paying the 135gold
You buy TPs regularly, so you are already ahead of the curve.

Well, at least those guys I get to play with don't, so I never considered this. But won't hurt I guess

Speaking of TI4.
We should do a group dinner one of those nights. Like on Friday or Saturday night when we can be sure everyone is in town, and not at a particularly expensive restaurant so that nobody feels stressed about that aspect. Especially since not everyone will be able to sit together.

in a nutshell. Pub game with support Drow, Riki rushing Dagon...
...quickly became a, "fuck it, let's have some fun" game. Other team was fucking furious by the end. It was a laser fireworks show.

But really, $425. Not the best travail, but its within my budget at least, and its sort of expected going from Florida to Seattle. The hours sort of suck though, I wouldn't get into Seattle until about 10PM, and have to leave at Noon on Tuesday. At least I get Wifi on my flight to Seattle.

Does it say included or available?

Included. Damn it! I'll likely pay up :/

Well said.
I only bother to mention EE because I don't think he's getting fair recognition.
Edit: Anyone have any idea when we can get some new team pennants in the shop? Would love to show some support for Cloud 9, Empire and most importantly, Virtus Pro.
