Naw, we're probably advancing. It may be late when we do so though. Next advance is Friday at 8:30 PT and I'm not sure if Trasher would be able to make it back by then if they didn't get it done tonight.
Who knows! We'll find out!

I have nothing but time, I guess I can joing the DOTA party. All I really need to get done in the next few weeks is complete my OSHA 30 training.

This is how Jeremy Lin got started on DotA. He was hurt and couldn't play hoops or workout so his brother got him hooked on DotA.
Which will turn them off from DotA more, the game itself or BigAT's disappointing dad voice?
This is probably a good idea. I think we've all learned from playing with me that mixing skill levels is a recipe for disaster.
One thing I found incredibly helpful when I was first learning the game (and I think this applies to both learning the game from the start and picking up new heroes) is going to the replays tab, picking a hero you want to learn and then setting the filter to Very High skill and games featuring that hero. Find a game in which the hero does well, then watch the replay with the camera on player perspective.
You should learn more about the game (item build, skill build and proper usage, positioning, teamfight participation, etc.) than you will find in any guide.

Clinkz would be better.
The other day I randomly thought of the night we were playing and you were just yelling really loud gibberish to our random teammates through voice chat and started cracking up.

My favorite time you were disappointed was your failed back-flip save in Rocket League.
I've never heard such a coalescence of misery and disgust.
That was the hardest id laughed in like six months. There were tears coming out of my eyes.
I think learning supports is in a bunch of ways kind of wrong.
Learn to farm, just learn to last hit because good supports. In a starter tier, you really just need to learn to click creeps to make gold to buy items to click heroes.
Guys like FMT will never learn to farm because he's never been allowed to farm so then he'll never be able to farm gold quickly on a support

Mek is an active item, guys. So you have to press a button to get the main benefits. Not calling anyone out, but maybe move mek back to the spacebar FrancoFilmSubject
Bot games are the best way to practice last hitting. There's probably a custom game-mode out that trains you on it now I bet.
Problem is there really isn't a best role to start playing as for new players. That's why heroes like Lich are good for it because you can still make an impact. You basically just need to play a bunch of games and get a feel for the flow of everything. If you don't want to play support forever then you need to put in the time on your own and play the mid/carry roles until you have a handful of heroes you are comfortable with.
Supports without farm can still impact a game with their abilities. Carries and core roles will fall off and be completely useless if they don't get their farm/items which is what makes them awful for brand new players.

You get either dust or mek benefits, not both. Choose wisely.
I've gotten my last hit down with some guys
I'd say the hardest things to learn at first is the basics, once you figure out where is what, what things do, and all the controls/shops and whatever, it becomes a lot easier. i remember when i first started I had no idea what to do and when. you really do have to do the tutorials a lot or have a lot of hand holding
i still don't know how to stack and pull or whatever the fuck that shit is

I agree with this, at least with regards to only learning supports. Expanding your hero pool really helps with understanding how other heroes work and will help in knowing how to properly deal with them when they are on the opposing team.
He can play carry, but he has to go seek that out on his own. Even when FMT is in our group i see high 4k/low 5k MMR players against us. Its hard enough to play support against those guys at that level, let alone a core role.
If this scrub team works out, it would be the perfect time for him to be able to learn how to play a carry or mid. Atleast, hypothetically. Im pretty sure he's ignored every guide/youtube video ive ever sent him.

The problem with FMT is he never plays alone and there's no way you guys will let him learn how to last hit on your time. My assumption, anyway.
At some point it's detrimental for really low level players to play with us. When I picked up the game I wasn't playing and attempting to learn against players that were 2K+ MMR better than I was. You should do a lot of learning against players of a similar skill level.
This is why I want to play with a newer team so I can try branching out from just supports. I don't see myself being a hard carry, but I'd like to learn more than just support.
Ya I'll join you guys when you invite me or need someone, but I'm going to try to do more solo queueing with my level range and play with these guys if theyre serious. I'll play with you guys just because I want to play with friends, even if I can't hang with that MMR range.
Basically you just need to find a hero pool you enjoy. Maybe pick a handful of heroes that you know you want to play and that you think you would enjoy playing. Because the game is only going to be fun if you are enjoying the hero you are using. Then just do your best to learn the proper builds for them so you are comfortable with their abilities and what items to pick up on them. If you find you have a decent knack at playing one of them, keep them in your hero rotation. If not, try something new.
