I'm STILL surprised I won my latest game where he had a core Veno who built Vanguard, Force Staff, Halberd and a Reaver (probably into a heart). He did some decent scouting with his wards, but that's pretty much it.
Just try to get past those games and move on.
Game was rough. Remember when I bought those wards and then sold them?
Selling wards does restock them, I was wrong about that. That Bane aghs was the ultimate "I picked a hero and I have no idea what to do with him" item.
A force staff on that bane would have done wonders against that insane bear.

Had this game on my smurf a few days ago:
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/901246830
I was off lane playing Legion Commander accompanied by a Witch Doctor who spammed attack animation stop to steal last hits and rush a Dagon. According to Dotamax, that was Very High skill bracket. We almost lost the game as well after being 15k gold ahead.
His end game items were actually Dagon, Eblade, Shadow Blade and Phase boots, I shit you not.
That looks like the kind of match that, even though you won, you wish you had lost.
PS: WR with a shadowblade and a butterfly
Poor lifestealer. No one should get that many kills and still lose.

LC outcarries LS handily. Enigma rekt us late game. Playing LC as a position #1 (which I had to because my team mates couldn't farm for shit and got garbage items) is IMO unviable because her ult is too much of a YOLO ability late game to be relied on.
;_;
I'M SO SORRY
Was Earth Spirit not much use all game and then decided to buy a Radiance he could stand there and be useful by merely existing?
I took a glance at it yesterday. It made me glad Valve has their standards set for cosmetics, there was a tree with a soccer goal on its back throwing soccer balls at people.

No idea why he bought a Radiance. Then, our BS decided to get a 50 min Radiance as well. Shit was so depressing. I was probably with smurfs who queued too high after the smurf detection kicked in and are now on their way back to their original MMR. No way that game was genuine VH bracket.

or that shit exists at all levels like people say and vh means nothing

Never seen stacked Radiances on my main account (once I got past trench tier MMR range) but I suppose BS like this exists on every level. Force Staff Bloodseekers are quite rare as well actually where I'm at.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Matt's only been on vacation for a week. He won't be stepping off any plans for at least another week imo

its actually much easier to follow than dota 2 games. lots of abilities can be spammed a bunch of times during a teamfight. also much more kiting is involved since champions take longer to die in most stages of the game compared to heroes
Qoqjva so good.
I saw it, he fed a couple of times but it was fine. I wish we had the audio from their teamspeak so I could hear the flames he got from his team.

What does that have to do with visually confusing?
reported hue
It was a refference to this game: http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/905355479
Face: "27/8. Still lose. Lmao."
For some reason since I started playing storm, I have faced at least 3 medusa and 2-3 disruptor. Dunno if its just those being popular in 5-stacks or them seeing a resurgence.

Who ever reports people on the enemy team on request of their team mates who accuse them of feeding? Why would I waste my reports on players who helped me win ez?
I once had an np on the other team feed because 3/5 of his team was peruvian. Still reported him, was a pretty scummy thing to do.
Was it Thacker? I remember he liked playing NP.
If they start buying mass couriers and feeding them, or just obviously been intentionally feeding I will. It really isn't a satisfying an ez win.

I feel like it plays into the confusion a lot. At times I still find dota 2 to be visually confusing. The only thing that league might have over dota 2 that would cause confusion is the fact that there are so many particles and effects for different heroes + the skins. Yet it still is pretty straight forward.

Most broods I see fail their lanes because they hang around in the middle of the lane too much and don't try to hide enough, especially at the start since you don't know where the wards could be, if any, or if the enemies has any dust fielded. Once you feel out the lane, you can start going for last hits to get a soul ring or just play it cool and get exp. It's fine to just get a few levels, because starting at 3 you can start to push them back by overwhelming spiderlings from all the lat hits or by pumping your nukes into the supports and farmer.
You also need a team that doesn't throw the game away minute zero, that's also pretty important.
