Concede isnt or shouldnt be an option. I came from hon a long time ago and used to bitch that there should be a concede option...until i got out of the garbage bracket and started enjoying comebacks and people not quitting 3 minutes in. I pray it never becomes an option now.

wut. Merlini is known as probably the nicest guy in dota2. This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen posted by you, and that's saying a lot.
You're right he is known that way, but that's face value, which is what most people see. He went off on a tangent which is one reason he didn't fit with QPAD and probably why he stated he wasn't interested in playing professional Dota.

His past has some not so nice parts too, but I'm on my phone and not going to search for the info, but it's out there.

I think you can find shit on pretty much every pro or ex-pro from the dota scene.

Of course his past is not so good, not after what happened with Sayuri. He dumped that bitch like a bag of rocks the second he found out though. I've never once heard from any pros that he's hard to get along with, the only ground I could possibly see for that claim to stand on is when he said to SeleCT "Oh fuck why'd you throw me in there" (after being thrown in the wall in a close game by SeleCT's Tiny). And then jokingly said "I should have just solo qued!"

I'm happy to report that after taking Sutekh's sage wisdom to heart (Iam the reason I died 95% of the time), I have yet to even be threatened with a report (this after suffering being muted 3 times - 24 hours, 48 hours, then a whole week). Sometimes you have to stretch your suspension of disbelief, but if you break it down far enough 95% of the time it's 100% accurate that you're the reason you died (I told my team to go but they didn't listen to me and I died - and even though it made perfect sense and it was our best opportunity to initiate I shouldn't have gone because I was alone, etc).

I really have no where else to vent about this. But fuck muting. What's Dota without shit talking? Seriously they should rename 'reporting' to 'tattle telling'. Received a mute for calling someone a bitch. Really?

I've sworn off the game until the mute gets fixed, haven't played in 2 weeks.


Also: lol @ Loda bitching at Aui in tweets because he was "too critical of his mistakes" what a god damn bitch/

If by muting you mean hitting ~ and clicking off their Mic volume then it is an absolute godsend. So many mouth breathers out there who don't know how to use push to talk.

in an all random game I was laning as Magnus with a Naga Siren. First he told me to stop auto attacking (I wasn't) then he told me to stop last hitting so he could farm - this was all done over voice. I'm not the best last hitter and was only getting blatant LH opportunities - ie I'm in melee range to score denies and there's a creep right next to me. I'd already warded the enemy jungle so was doing my bit to support the team.

He kept moaning at me so I said via chat I was going to mute him...that's when he said over voice "guys please report magnus for being a cunt and not letting me get last hits" to which his buddy replied "absolutely"

The system is broken and this just shows that not every report is justified.

Also, I probably play in a low skill bracket. It was an all random game not the big leagues.

AR is kind of a clusterfuck when it comes to lanes, you would probably be better off jungling/pulling than dealing with a dick who bitches at you for stealing hits. Report system definitely needs a human element, CS:GO got something like that as beta test, so I hope they have it planned for Dota too.

To be fair - having two people try to last hit in the same lane is almost universally a bad idea. You end up trying to last hit early to beat eachother, and end up with less farm in total than if one of you had priority. And if you need to decide whether Magnus or Naga should have priority, it should almost always be Naga. Magnus is better with low farm than Naga is.

That said, you're worthless as Magnus in that lane if you're not trying to get last hits. Next time, do as Zaphid says - go pull and kill shit in the jungle, then gank the lane with skewer when it pushes into your tower. It's suboptimal, but in AR you need to accept suboptimal lanes most of the time.

We were radiant and I was top lane, we had an anti mage jungling so that was out of the question.

I understand the need to let a carry get last hits/farm but this was not a premade group in a high skill bracket. This was an AR game in a lesser bracket, are you really suggesting I should gimp my hero and entrust the fate of the team to someone who a) I don't know and have never played with before b) is quite frankly being a dick about it?

The issue is not about who should get last hits but the broken report system that allows people to report for not being given last hits on a plate

I've said countless times in my games that reporting isn't for bad playing; it's for griefing and harassment. As to whether anyone cares, hard to say (probably not :/).

Bro ... Naga Siren is a carry. Much much moreso than Mag, all mag needs to be good is arcanes and blink. She needs a fuck ton more.
