Same here... probably 10 games in a row with at least one person who doesnt understand base concepts like ward spots, stackpulls, role of support in lane, etc... Did they fuck with the matchmaking past 2-3 days?

Heh you're asking quite a bit. I just wanted our Naix who was in the jungle for 40 minutes to come out with better farm than me (on centaur) that was fighting and dying in team fights. My last game I won was me on AM and I drove the Jakiro out of my lane because he couldn't out last hit me. GG Queling blade
Love comebacks.
They had mega creeps, we had 3 towers down and we pushed and won. I was Luna.

One thing I hate (among many) in low tier games is people who try to jungle yet are terrible at it. They stay in jungle for like 28-40 minutes and NEVER roam to gank NEVER come to support a push and generally just handicap the team all so they could buy a heart, but by that time the enemy is taking our middle barracks and its gg.
I have overcome this a couple times but lol. Also, been trying Ogre lately getting mana boots asap and just farming like mad to get scepter. Dat multicast......
edit; Also, quick question for the pro-bro's. Is getting hands of midas on a melee char who relies on auto-attacking viable in most situations? Basically, when should you save to get hands of midas? Is it a must have items for certain characters or am I wasting my time trying to get it so early? (say with Faceless Void or Ursa etc)

The attack speed bonus is literally the last thing you even think about when it comes to picking up midas on heroes. It's very good if you get very good early farm, the window to purchase it is like 6-10 mins. if you get it before, amazing (somehow), if you get it after you're really just handicapping your team. The item's good first and foremost for a level advantage, secondly gold, thirdly, attack speed increase.

Enjoy. If you read the older posts, keep in mind Midas has long since been changed to give flat gold increase.

There's a lot of factors than go wrong with offlane solo... kind of dumb to place all the blame on the players skill or pick.

When does that go live?
Also, thanks for midas info. This game is WAY more complicted than I thought and its amazing how well you can do if you just followed your heroes strengths (as far as buying items and proper builds) and conversely how BAD you can do if you decide not to. Games can still be won even if 3 of the 5 players are running around with wraith bands and bracers at 38 minutes into the game but more often than not simply "doing your job" will get you a win unless you are playing pub stompers who perfected their craft. (SB, Viper, Drow, Riki etc)
edit: Luna is too fun in pub games. Her ulti along with getting lifesteal and a bottle is hilarious midgame. I wonder if getting a shad blade would be viable into a refresher orb and anganims, that would probably be lulzy with her ult. With scepter it hits 12 times I think with a single target accepting up to 6 of those hits (thats 1800 dmg about). So theoretically you could eliminate 2 players from full health if you stay alive during its duration. (and then refresh and do it again...lol)

Yeah blood elf flying unit model. He was added somewhat late so a lot of people haven't played him cause they had stopped playing dota at that point.
Jozu patches go live the day after they're on test pretty much always. So later today(or tomorrow depending on where you live).

I think that's what makes me love this game so much. I've basically quit all other games and just play this because of the challenge it provides. It's a game that's hard as fuck to learn to an acceptable level and basically impossible to master.
