Stevewinwoodstack vs Dota Force Five game vod - be warned its a stomp

I had a game just now where the enemy had spectre, spirit beast, and lifestealer(not to mention shadow shaman). The pa on our team was getting ganked to high heaven and everyone was getting pissed(I was ancient apparition).. and I was like why get mad when the enemy literally picked an almost unstoppable combo. Of course he could have gotten a linkens, but it takes a while to farm that, and the lifestealer could just piggyback on spectre instead of spirit beast. Of course you could just keep everyone together for ever, but good luck orchestrating that in a matchmaking game, plus that leaves you open to ez split pushing.
Some people actually have no game sense of what is going on in the game and choose to get mad instead of thinking.

usually hitbox and twitch do it automatically dont they
yeah i wanted to hear the reaction to the mirana arrows and my 180 razes
That is a weird request. If anything I could only imagine it would help them understand how to improve.

Imagine you walk into a job interview 10 years later and the boss whips this shit out.

Usually you want to take a break after more than a few losses. You're probably on tilt at that point and don't even realize you're making things harder for yourself via the frustration. Don't do the, "I'm gonna play until I win" thing. It's the best way to burn yourself out.
Oh wow, you weren't kidding. Poor Dota Force Five.

Yes, frost arrow overrides all orbs. It will work with Satanic active.

In game, if you want to get some usage out of an orb item (like a dom helm), just manually cast your frost arrows and simply stop pressing Q when you need the lifesteal.

GAF, help me.
Having picked up dota again after a 6 month break, I went on a winning spree and climbed form 3.8k up to 4k in about a week. My formula for winning every game was basically:
1. Pick Ancient Apparition
2. At the start of the game, check how greedy the enemy mid's starting build is. If I see bottle rush, smoke to their side of the map and sit on mid lane and snipe the courier as it heads out around the 2 minute mark
3. Take money for courier snipe and buy sentries/upgrade own courier, deward enemy team at runes
4. Sit in a lane for a bit to catch up on some levels, max chilling touch/ice vortex and use it to help my mid (who by that point should have a huge advantage over their mid thanks to my earlier time investment) win us the teamfights at around the 8-9 minute mark.
5. Get ice blast up off these teamfights and go on to win the game
There was a period where I won something like 18 out of 24 games using this formula, but for no apparent reason it's stopped working and I'm back down to 3.75k
I generally play support with the mantra that if I can keep my idiot teammates alive and farming, eventually they'll get enough items that they can contribute regardless of how badly they play. Lately though, I've had this trend of allies who massively overestimate their own abilities at around the 6 minute mark and completely throw the advantage I try to give them in the early game by diving towers pointlessly.
Is it time to play another role? My experience with playing non-support roles is that the guys who do play support will push our safelane with single pulls instead of rotating to gank and prioritise items like forcestaff over smoke or wards. A 5k mate of mine tells me my expectations are too high for the MMR I'm at and I should just do the traditional thing of getting really good at the solo mid role and try to snowball to victory every game.

oh yeah I don't mind that, I just have never seen one autographed before so I wasn't sure if it was a glitch Lol. My self mades are only signed by Oroboros!
Fixed:
Special thanks to bounchfx for supplying the prizes for the Gafternashiral
What exactly is 'Oroboros!'? I know that Andrew Helenek made the courier.

Just had a game where the other team begged us to finish fast after we wiped them mid and took rax,.. we were all half health, but because it was late and one of them complained that he needed to get up for work, we went to finish for them. They proceed to mass buyback, stunlock us with ults, and gg push back through mid, laughing all the while at the "silly Americans".
Well then.
Well then.
Yeah, it was broken a really long time, I actually waited like a solid 3 weeks before activating the codes until Valved fixed the autograph issues.
he's our concept guy, haha. Once he draws up some ideas, I make them in 3d, then andrew animates them if it's a courier or ward.
