New all-time low: start the game off with a double tap first blood; proceed to kill a third 30 seconds later. get a 4th shortly after. Then lend my bottle to a magmus with a regen rune in it. He proceeds to place the bottle on the ground and destroy it. The team then kicks me. Obviously some choice words were exchanged after he destroys my bottle, but what the fuck am I supposed to do.
This community is a fucking joke.
I guess I'll use Report a Player function.... Oh wait, that's completely pointless.
GG HoN. You're fucking dead to me.

someone key me pls thx
Ugh come on guys, try to be more cosmopolitan. I'm a poor third worlder too. When HON implemented its region locking I lost 100 people on my friends list, maybe half of which had to buy their accounts through me or my brothers. Third world countries buy games too 
Not a lot, admittedly because of piracy, but a lot of us shelled out for HON, even multiple times like my friends and family did with subaccounts.
Also, a lot of third world countries have English-speaking populations. In the case of Filipinos, every middle class family will raise their kids with English as their first language. It's not uncommon to have households where speaking Filipino or watching Filipino TV was prohibited.

Wow. That is.....damn.
I don't care about being PC
The fact of the matter is Brazilians ruin nearly every game they're in. I don't want that. If I play on the NA server for a number of reasons, the least of which is the language barrier.
Yes I realize Brazil is not a third-world country, I was being facetious.

I'll make a new smurf and easy mode carry you out of the 1400s, while I /wrist for not having a dota2 beta key.Neckbeard said:
WC3 servers were region locked. You had USEast, USWest, Asia and Europe. Now, DOTA was pretty popular in South America, I guess, because it used the WC3 engine which ran fine on just about everything. But there was no South America server. Brazilian DOTA players tended to hang out on USEast (and I guess sometimes USWest). Among the many many DOTA games, you'd see a game here or there labeled BR, for Brazil. Those games were far and few in between, so you'd get Brazilians in normal games. The problem is that the B.net servers didn't handle distance very well, so BR players almost universally lagged, stalling the game. Remember, back then, most games would not continue unless the host could communicate with every players' computer. So you had players that did not communicate with the rest of the team, and lagged the game. I think that's where the whole BR thing started, it carried over to HoN and LoL because Brazil still plays on USEast servers.Guesong said:
Sorry didn't mean to sound that way... I'm just overly sensitive to this stuff sometimes and tend to react too quickly. I think the Brazil hate started even back in DOTA because a large number of them would play on NA servers but would generally stick together or completely ignore english speaking players, huehuehueing all the way to the 50 minute mark while their teams get dumpstered 30 to 5 until their one friend that's playing SW farms his mock to try to win back the game.
I guess Filipinos are worse, they're going to try a nerd gank at level 1 and get surprised if you don't join them. Also if you cast any skill in your lane that's their signal to go balls deep and suicide dive, then they blame you for not going in with them and decide to feed the rest of the game, ezito.

Oh don't worry about that. I was just wading in on the 'is Brazil a Third world country or not' debate.
I understand your plight too.
My advice, stop playing soloMM , only play when you have ATLEAST 2 people you can play with. eg GAFfers. Everything will go much much better.
Now a days I get frustrated playing with just 1 public person playing with us.

BH disconnected at level 1. Balphagore fed all game and never listened to anyone (at least he built Abyssal, was useful for the 2 seconds he was alive during every team fight). I can't believe we actually won (I was a pretty mediocre Pharaoh too).

So guys,
Would those of you who have shown interest in writing guides (i.e, Haly), or sharing helpful information for newer players (delirium, Kag+bros, Alumnus, Swag, pro, etc.) be willing to contribute towards a legitimate HONGAF worthy beginners guide for DoTA 2? It doesn't have to be much, as even a few tips or comments that might not seem to much to you could teach newbies a thing or two. Stuff such as explaining percentage stacks, procs, pathing, creep stacks and jungling, lane pulls, warding, counter-warding, types of strats, physical vs magic, the works.
I dunno, just throwing it out there. I have somewhere I'd like to go with this so I'm just curious if anyone other than the few people I mentioned would be interested. Even something simple such as, 'Don't get items with evasion properties on a hero that is meant to take damage' could help.
Y/N??
