Same here. I got a bunch of MMR very quickly and then my queues started taking 15+ minutes out of nowhere and my game quality has gone to absolute shit. I literally had 2 griefers on my team in my last game and they announced they were going to grief during the pick phase (guess they had an argument in the previous game).
I thought the game had put me in the smurf pool because I was winning too much but that's not true.
I AM getting matched with a lot of smurfs (level 40 accounts in low Immortal such as pic related) but they're just straight up griefers. I have no idea what happened but I'm just gonna keep on playing and if the games continue to be this shit I'm probably quitting again.

Rare game where it's opponent's lane that gets tilted as fuck and, after a clutch 2-0 at lvl 2, we proceed to chain 6 or 8 kills on their pos1 & 5

I live for this. The ability to definitively tell a support to get fucked instead of constantly cucking me. Once I finish the Nullifier the game fundamentally changes. It becomes a game about efficiently killing every single person and tower on the map while they can do nothing about it except watch. I understand now. Nothing else matters. This is my new calling.

I don't understand why some people really hate it when I play clock offlane.
Doesn't matter if I win my lane, if I'm really active all game, gank everywhere, initiate and tank every team fight, CC and deal the most damage the game.
It was MY fault we lost because I picked clock offlane

Feels good. Then I lost a game where my qop 5 went naked dagon, then hard carried another game. I am climbing, just gotta win the hard games, not throw the easy ones and don't tilt on the unwinnables.

>>556576865

Why is pos3 a priority role, and not pos4?
>>
>>556578651
Because support players are a dime a dozen?
>>
>>556578651
Because everyone thinks 4 is fake HC so people have an excuse to pick np and build damage items without getting blamed.
>>
>>556578651
Because offlane is a utility/support role that has to know how to farm and read the gamestate. It doesn't have the flashy impact of a midlaner and actually has to do shit on the map so considering all those prerequisites most people would rather practice self lobotomizing by picking some retarded stunbot that gets everything for free or a carry that doesn't have to actually play the game for 25 minutes.

Midlaners are all psychos and either dodge or euthanize if they don't get mid so that's pretty self explanatory.
>>
>it's a your offlane and mid can't ever engage first so you have to buy a dagger as a support to start fights episode
0 initiations from sand king, only waiting for a fight to start to ult + blink
0 towers pushed by our mid dp farming the jungle for 4 minutes
but we still won because me and the other support got fed up and bought daggers to make these passive fucks fight
>>
>>556578651
Because 3 is just awful to play as this patch
>boring small pool of heroes
>needs to win lane to shut down enemy hc, while your support griefs you
>needs to farm to buy items, also buy aura support because the 4 is a core role apparently
>needs to rotate and start fights
>needs to stay alive during those fights
it's 2nd behind with mid where if they fail, they lose the game
hc can recover from a bad lane, offlane can't because they're expected to play with the team after laning
>>
>>556576732
I enjoy playing clock and he is pretty strong during the laning phase and mid game if you get fed.
But he is useless late game.
Also the recent change to how his cogs interact with people hurt him quite a bit.

He's not great in lanes, his only nuke eat through his mana pool, his attack animation is really fucking bad, and he's not yet tanky enough to get the best use of his abilities, not fast enough to keep static link up.
He's great after itemization, but before that, he's probably one of the worse of his category.

Imma scrub, 550~ hours played, dont play ranked. Im gonna try hard a bit. I like carry, im picking 3 hero's to spam for it. I have jugg, sven so I can bring a stun and ta. Does ta count as ranged?

>>
>>556593724
Razor's lane matchups are extremely sink or swim. If you're laning against like Lifestealer or Sven then of course you just roll over them but the current meta carries are things like Clinkz and Drow who you just can't threaten at all.

My 1 month and a half return to Dota is now officially over. The game has become a cesspool and there's literally only heavily mentally ill people left playing it. Everyone who's even slightly normal has left and all that's left is the people who are obsessed with the game and treat it like it's life or death (mostly because they don't have anything else in their lives) and people who are addicted. Nobody plays the game because they enjoy it.
It's a shame because the game is still good after all this time but I guess its very own nature attracts this type of person and this was the only possible outcome.

Completely wrong. You literally cannot find a game with less than 5 russians in it nowadays, it wasn't this bad before. They're the main perpetrators of this type of behavior and completely killed my interest in continuing to play the game. I'm literally 4 wins away from getting Immortal again and I don't give a fuck about it, that's when I realized that's it for me.

CLOCK IS A "WEAK" OFFLANER. CENTAUR IS A "STRONG" OFFLANER. YOU CANNOT ALWAYS PICK CLOCK INTO MOST LINEUPS (AS YOU CAN PICK CENTAUR INTO ALMOST ANY LINEUP) BECAUSE HE IS A "SOFTER" OFFLANER.

How much is deadlock leeching from dota 2? I heard icefrog is making heroes for it. Is Valve planning to replace dota with deadlock?

Deadlock is basically Dota + TF2
>Characters that rival the merc cast but more leaning towards fantasy like Dota.
>Item builds like dota, has gold, last hitting, runes, roshan, jungling, almost all the core mechanics are there in some way.
>3 lanes + roshan pit set up
>logo was literally the map before it got changed from 4 to 3 lanes (just like dota
>Overcomplicated movement tech like arena shooter fags love (this will end up killing the game)
>Heroes are mostly a mishmash of dota 2 abilties thrown together.

They don't even know who they want to impress. to me, they will just end up with a modest 50k players and tons of non-player fans because of the character designs, who just keep posting about who is gay or who is fucking who. because that's all the deadlock discussion i've seen as nobody really likes the turbo sweat going because casual players get stomped.

2 days ago I played an ember game where my supports actually did their fucking jobs and the game was actually pretty amazing, I hadn't played a game like that in a long time. They actually built mana boots and gave me mana constantly, they used their skills correctly and didn't take my runes once the laning phase was over, by the end of the game I had 22 kills as fucking EMBER, one of the most useless carries in the entire game. It really makes me wonder how some people manage to lose games where they have supports that aren't completely fucking braindead mongoloids, I legitimately had not played a game like that in over a year if not even more.
>>
>>556627420
SAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>
>>556628112
My problem is most of the supports I get are mongoloids. They will just sit afk behind you and do absolutely nothing or they will feed the enemy.
Flip side is if I go support the core will ignore every play I make as if they were allergic to getting kills and will never take and advantage of anything I do.

>>556628642
>most of the supports I get are mongoloids
You're so close to realizing the truth of this playerbase, anon...
>>
Have you ever played on adderal or vyvanse?
>>
>>556628747
The only truth is that mid is the best lane to play because you don't have to worry about 50% of your lanes power being fucking inept.
You win or lose lane on your merit alone.
I regret it every time I go sidelanes.
>>
>>556629090
Oh, you don't have to tell me, I've got less than 50 games and I've already figured that out :U
>>
>>556629090
for the longest time I avoided going mid because I thought I wasn't good enough and it was too hard, turns out because I'm not legitimately retarded with some type of clear mental disability, I win mid the majority of the time. The only issue I have is when my teammates feed every other lane but provided they don't, then we are able to win the game. Mid is actually not even as difficult as I imagined it to be and it is the perfect position if you're not completely trash and feed the lane, the impact on the game you are able to have is much larger than any other lane. Mid players generally are autistic and have some very obnoxious attitudes most of the time, though.

"""Competitive games""" in current day are populated by glassy eyed golems that have been glued to their computer screens 18 hours a day since they were 9 years old.
And yet somehow they are worse than the players of the golden age in the early 2010s

Every single esport in the world is dead or dying. Shadows of their former selves.

The esports world hasn't spawned a single organic meme or quotable moment in like 10 years because all the human players retired and were replaced by these biological gambling golem bots.
The competitive scene is boring BECAUSE the players are boring.

Hell, it's kinda the case even in irl sports these days

Holy shit I might just come back to spam her in ranked (I'm archon maybe crusader due to decay).
Kind of want to try to "tryhard" ranked for once and focus on 3 heroes. My best offlaner is by far Timbersaw but I need someone not susceptible to silence because that makes 2. I'm thinking Broodmother out of spite if I see a Skywrath p5 + bad waveclear p4 on first phase but maybe that's too cheesy/niche idk. I really like playing Marci and Dawnbreaker but maybe a more well rounded offlaner like Tide, Sandking or Axe would be better.
I'm welcoming your suggestions if you have any dotards.
>>
>>556676728
Because I'm assuming that i'll whiff it anyway, and the other one makes an impact during laning phase.

>>556697129
In the old days, jungling was huge money and huge exp. One loser could buy a Quelling Blade and some tangoes at 0:00 and come out of the jungle with ult at the same time as a solo mid laner. Since lanes back then were more 3-1-1 with two supports on a trilane, if one of the supports became a core for FREE, then suddenly you come out ahead.

But if a source of money and exp was that good early game, it would be that good late game. And that meant the Chinese would just farm farm farm like they're playing League of Legends and nobody fucking likes that. When they kept setting new records for longest pro game with 100+ minute matches in TI2 and TI3 (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G9O9j0DSII (faggy auto dub warning, change to original kr audio track)), people said ENOUGH. Those fuckers would do nothing but farm for 10+ minutes just to wait for Roshan and buy a fresh BKB before even thinking about having a teamfight. Thus started the anti-Chinese jungling nerfs. BKB was no longer refreshable, jungle gold and exp got nerfed, and kill gold got increased. Also other tertiary things got nerfed too like illusion heroes getting the shaft, Lycan getting reworked and nerfed like 5 times in a row (after the TI1 and TI2 nerfs), and Necrobook got removed for unrelated reasons. And since that wasn't enough to stop the autists and the Chinese, the jungle also didn't spawn shit until 1:00 after the bell to force people into lanes. Even if you try to do the leech for a minute and leave strat, the neutral camps just didn't give enough exp or gold for it to be worth it. So even today with a bigger map and 4 extra camps, jungling gpm is still lower than it used to be.

Thus, no more jungling.
Of course, the Chinese became briefly based by going hard in the other direction with TI4 memepush but Icefrog sadly put a kibosh on that.

Fuck that guy.

Largo being an auto-lose hero aside, game #2 made me wonder if I'm not playing 100% efficiently when I'm not raging this hard. Kind of an upsetting thought. The shit I did to fuck the guy in the ass and make his jungle unplayable also affected the rest of his team beyond the usual eternal 4v5 disadvantage. And mentally, I was thinking of it as a "pulling out all the stops" occasion and that made me wonder if I'm just holding myself back because I'm not hateful enough to play like that every game. And honestly, it's stressful as fuck. If I want to win more, I might have to change my whole playstyle so I can play like that without having my bp spike to 200 the whole time. Or maybe it's not worth it? I don't know.

Actually applying yourself and trying hard to win will unironically increase your winrate by double digits, it's just really mentally exhausting.

come back and try if the enemy fucks up.
