New to the game

Just seeking friends to game with, I don't care if you're new also.

I'm not a pro by any means but i'm tired of random groups where nobody talks and there is no teamwork.

I play on US servers, anyone willing to teach me the ropes or learn with me?

Seriously this game will lose another player to LOL if I keep having to play with randoms. :p

I would love to. Unfortunately i'll have to see whether I would have any lag issues in the US servers. Give me a day, I'll get back to you.

Edit: Can't play there. I get some 800 ping.

First game today I go safe lane with someone playing zeus. Enemy had dragon knight and lich there. At level 2 zeus just runs in with no creeps and stands in one spot trying to fight both of them. Dies and runs back to do it again and again. I left when they were level 7 and I was level 5. Does it ever stop pairing me with people like that?

Sorry
I feel cruel for laughing at the pic
But don't worry, it does get better :)
Thats how we all got out of that ****ing trench

That's how the trench is. You'll get there eventually. Patience. Patience is virtue.

Steam name is ImmortalAxolotl, add me

Running into a lot of problems

I find myself wanting to play a carry but there is typically 3 already on our team and I just hope they know how to play, or I pick a support and have s%@#^y carry's.

Still playing in limited hero selection lobby as i'm still figuring out those hero's and their abilities. My team drafted Dragon Knight, lich, drow, and zeus so I played omniknight. The opponents had sven, razor, sniper, windranger, and sand king I think.

Anyway I had the hard lane with dragon, drow was in mid and lich and zeus were together. We got behind to say the least... dragon wasnt last hitting and spent most of the time chasing razor back and forth to the tower. I was denying and healing him as I didn't want him to feed.

Sniper outplayed drow eventually and got a kill in mid

Lich and zeus both died and then lich left the game shortly after. I wasn't even level 5 by the time all this happened, no gold to really buy ports to move and help after buying a courier, clarity pots, wards, and a tango.

I'm getting punished no matter what it feels like.

Um... When you are in that sort of trench, don't bother getting a support. Pick a higher impact hero that can carry in the lategame, and just farm by yourself. Look for easy kills and try to snowball and win the game by yourself. Just assume that everyone else is an idiot in your trench, and carry the game by yourself.

Heroes i reccomend are tiny, pa,bloodseeker, anti mage, sniper, luna and slark. If you kniw how to farm, luna and anti mage are especially good. Slark is also very good at farming, and can snowball easily.

Oh and btw, could you go into your settings menu and enable 3rd party matchmaking sharing?

It should be under "expose public match data". That way we can look at the rest of your games and see how to best help you

.

Don't. They require an obscene amount of farm to be useful. Maybe you could gank with Luna and a Shadow Blade, but the other one is like paper. With more than 3 carries on your team you'll never get a Battle Fury going.

you are assuming that they know to farm in that trench. In my experience, people in that trench don't spend any time time farming at all, instead walking around the map trying to kill everyone. And i did say those 2 were especially good if you know how to farm.

Maybe i should be a little more clear. If you don't know how to farm, don't pick those heroes
