generally speaking, when you enter a thread where something gender, race, orientation or ethnicity are party of the conversation and you're like, "why do we have to talk about this...no big deal..." you're gonna get clipped. It's not that hard to understand, anticipate and either avoid or actually add something substantive to the conversation.

Nobody has to be laying on the ground, bleeding. Talk shit, get hit.

A fella I play Dota with on occasion who was stuck in elo hell around 1800 mmr suddenly urges me to add him on his newish account that he recently created. Low and behold he's all of a sudden 4.5 on his new account due to recalibrating without shitty teammates and according to dotabuff played a lot of matches on russia eu west servers but now plays on na servers just fine.

tell me how best to troll this guy

He's taking a break from ranked, says he's only playing unranked atm.

it's around 4k unranked too

i've only played the 10 calibration matches on it for party and solo, rest is unranked

i think the best way to fuck with him is to get him to accuse you of buying your account

LiQuid!

Ya, I agree with like 99% of the bans in there. What's the point of even posting in the thread if your only contribution is dismissing the plight of marginalized people you don't even represent. Still, I hope Heavy's and some others aren't perma'd.

It is kind of like getting a sports cars that has its acceleration and top speed limited. Still nice, but unessarilly limited. I'm sure there are workarounds to get some kind of access to the Play store, if you have the know how and the time to tinker.
Fucking ordered one anyways. I'm a dipshit. I feel like my needs for it are meager enough that I might be able to get by with it. If not I'll just sell it off and get something better later, but the price is too silly not to try it out. Gears are already turning for me to finally get an amazon prime sub that I don't really want or need, so I guess they've already won. Fuck life.

That thread is a total fucking mess. Many of the posts in there are seriously Trump-level shit, including the "why do we have to talk about this?" crowd.

Another 24 hours mm ban.

I think I have reported/muted like half of players in 4-5k range.

I hate to say it, but you should really consider taking a long hard look at yourself if you're constantly getting 24 hour MM bans.

I have only been muted once in my entire Dota career, and I have been playing since November 2011. I have gotten LPQ, but that has always been abandons, most of which were not my fault.

I get that the way your teammates play can sometimes be frustrating, and sometimes you look at their items or skill build and are shaking your head, but the game is still winnable. I've won games with intentional feeders before. The #1 thing you DO NOT want to do is go "Fuck you I'm not supporting this shit/I don't trust noobs to carry/I won't help you in any form or fashion and blame you for falling down on the job" It does not matter if they are somehow 6k and play like a 1k. I watched the video of Purge coaching SirActionSlacks and Purge said something that made a lot of sense when Slacks asked about supporting when it seems like the carries always fall down on the job. To paraphrase, basically you want to give them the easiest game possible where even if they do fuck it up, you can still win it. You don't want to say "Fuck you you're doing the skill or item build I don't like, I'm not supporting you, no wards for you, enjoy dying to their aggro trilane"

I know the above advice sounds like it only applies for supports, but it absolutely applies for any role in the game as you are playing Dota, which it turns out is a 5-man team game. If you're playing a core, this means things like letting the supports get the Observer Ward kills so they get the money to buy their stuff, you're playing mid, and your safelane is getting steamrolled, you should be able to help them if they need it (and you reasonably can help them). The list goes on.

Just gonna call him out and see how he responds. I'll post if his response is juicy but I'm not expecting much. I'm kind of expecting he'll just remove me quietly.

I guess you have confused the ban with something else. The ban was because I abandoned the game on loading screen, so I didn't have to play with those I have ignored. And I only add people to ignore list if they are either toxic or just plain bad (skill play or hero pick, generally I give no f to skills/items build as long as it produces result). Do you want to play again with a guy who first picked hc after you asked for it, farmed until 6 slotted then proceeded to dive tower and feed? I don't.

Earlier today I tried to play with one guy I have muted, guess what, last pick ursa jungle when team already had 3 cores, ez -27 mmr, never again.
 
I love cider, but most if not all of it in stores these days is waaaaay too sweet. I don't need ANY added sugar in my cider please, I want to taste the booze.

That's why I'm on my third pint of it tonight, it's just dry and tangy and crisp...

Gonna stay off GAF in case I wander into a warzone thread...

That's the thing: You abandon these games and you lose the MMR anyway, do you not?

Regardless, you keep getting yourself 24 hour MM bans over this. This kind of attitude was exactly what I'm talking about. You have to figure out how to win the game, even when you get the worst players. It is doable, granted more difficult, and frustrating, but doable.

No i don't lose mmr if i abandon on loading screen.

I already had to figure out how to win the game with those people at least once before, i would rather not try again with those have no desire to win.

I think they're fine with dodging to avoid intentional feeders. Of course using it to avoid hard matches is gaming the system a bit.
 
no, steve can stay.

Aghs AA + Radiance Spectre = teams melting

If AA's ult hits the entire team and spectre haunts in I'm not sure how a full team dying or the surviving players needing to return to base can be prevented.
