Here's my favorite facepalm moment that has happened to me quite a few times.

We win the early game, we win the mid game, and we 5 man push mid and destroy their mid raxes. Good. Now, we switch to top and get the top raxes as well. Excellent, right? At this point, any sane team would collect themselves, and either go for the throne, or go for the bottom rax to get megas.

Here's the kicker. About four games that I've played in, I've been part of the team that has gotten the double rax. At this point, I'm trying to get every one to push bot rax. But what is my team doing? Two of them are destroying the random buildings in their enemy base. One of them just realized that he needs to get that Ring of Health (40 minutes in) from the secret shop, and goes to get it. The last one is busy camping the enemy fountain trying to get kills. While this is happening, the enemy is pushing out the lanes, getting more items, and manages to 1v4 my team. Now, it's their turn to push. They push mid tier 3, don't bother with rax, and go straight for throne, and win.

While I'm left wondering why I even bother picking a support with such teammates.

People who tell me to stop going back to base when I have under 10hp (yes this has happened before)

People who don't understand Crystal Maiden's ultimate and tell me to use it in the most uncoordinated teamfights where I need good positioning to actually pull it off.

People who expect me to mid as Lina when I already called out I was support and I have already bought wards/courier.

People who ping for me to chase a low health enemy when all of their teammates are already killing me.

People who get annoyed at me for "not supporting" when they run under tower to chase an enemy with 80% health.

People who rage at me for killstealing when I didn't actually killsteal.

Supports who rage at carrys for killstealing.

Luna.

But the best DotA "I'm so happy freakout moment"

Getting an ultra kill with cm, happened twice now c:

Having three core heroes already and picking support, then typing "one more support please" only for the last pick to be a

People who don't buy on heroes like or and try to, I kid you not, run in the middle of the enemy team for their ults

Playing any of these heroes in the jungle: Axe, Doom, Lone Druid, Bloodseeker (maybe this one is ok)

Calling me a noob for building BKB on and no Linken's

with and at 35 mins ask me why I have no items as a 5 position who bought every ward in the game plus a

on 95% of heroes. you cool bruh

People playing and literally only using split as an escape tool

People randoming and then repicking because they can't play the hero. DON'T RANDOM THEN

When the safelane carry just harasses the enemy and gets no last hits

Telling the last person to pick that we need a hard carry and having them pick Spirit Breaker (as a totally serious 1 position pick)

Spirit Breaker in general

2 spell Invokers

Pushing heroes who just farm the jungle all game

When I play a support that has a handful of kills and deaths and is coming up on 30 assists and a carry that is mediocre at best wants to rag on my lack of items or KD ratio, when I have been the one buying courier, wards, urn, mek and tp's to be at the right place at the right time and be useful when I get there.

People calling me a noob for not getting on . Especially funny when I'm the only initiator in my team and the enemy team has 2/3 burst damage heroes like , or . Pubs really think that Void is a snowballing ganker I guess :)

- AFK farming . Whenever I see a midas enchantress I'm always like "GG we lost". And I'm very rarely wrong. is one of the best early-game gankers, this hero is all about getting jungle creeps to get first blood at level 1, non-stop roaming in the first 15 minutes of the game, winning both your safe lane and your mid lane with constant ganks, pushing the midlane tower, getting 12-minute Rosh, etc. Ench is possibly the best early game hero in DotA. And instead of owning the first 15 minutes of the game, what do people do? They sit in the jungle for 15 minutes AFK farming, get , and they don't do jack. Meanwhile you are playing 4 vs 5, you are losing your safe lane, you are losing mid, and the enemy carry is freefarming. GG noob Ench.
IMO this is the reason why Ench's winrate is so low, because pubs think she's a farming carry. It's even worse when a is afk farming.

- . People have no freaking idea of what this item does and it's a source of many, many WTF moments. Nice 33-minute Radiance, . Think that it will help you with anything? Killing creeps with blood bath to get HP, huh? Because yeah, that's worth spending 5k gold on an item that does nothing, has zero late game, doesn't help you gank in any way, and doesn't break TP scrolls. Ever heard about actually useful items on your hero, like basher or BKB? Nice radiance, : ever heard about BKB or refresher orb? Nice radiance, , why the hell are you even fighting with us and not farming when you screwed your supports for 20 minutes just to get a farming item - Nice 380 GPM also, sure it shows how good radiance PL is, there's absolutely no way in hell that a PL with just diffusal-manta can get 700 GPM. Nice radiance, , sure it's great to push out lanes, but a small detail...ever heard about ? Nice radiance, - by the way did you see that our team has no mek and no wards or are you just too radiant to notice it? Nice radiance, , it's really a great item to bring down the HP of the enemy quickly and there's absolutely no way he can one-shot you in 2 seconds, besides is for hippies, right?
So yeah, lots of radiance, lots of headaches ^^

- AFK jungle . This one is just so nonsensical that I have no idea why people even *do* that, but they do. They even do that in 5K MMR. And it's awful. Because yeah, since Axe has such good AOE ability, why not use it to clear jungle camps during the whole game. People saying that Axe is one of the best laning heroes, one of the best mid-game teamfight heroes, and has garbage late game? They're just liars.

Amen brother, Icefrog kills a baby kitten every time builds a . Just because she's amazing early on and has an incredibly small timing window for doesn't mean that you shouldn't spend the best part of 2000 gold on a mid-late game item straight away and sit in the jungle until your team loses. Oh wait.

In fact, any AFK jungler who after 15 minutes of your team getting their arses handed to them 4v5 who goes "OH FFS Feeders!". Yes, they always have a , hell, make it two.

can be extremely effective...in very specific circumstances. And not on ...ever. Speaking of which, people who run under and don't carry a TP scroll.

Teams who insist on an AFK jungler AND a hard carry and wonder why they have no towers after 20 minutes. Doh, aren't the opposition going to let you farm unharassed for that long?

P.S - you can manfight with - it's hilarious :)

Playing with a 4 stack that blame me for ruining their strategy without EVER EXPLAINING IT TO ME.

For example, team picked Veno, Shaman, Prophet, Sven. Seems normal right? I decide to pick Puck, as our team lacked a mid, when suddenly: "OMFG we wanted early push game! f****** noob pick" They then proceed to report me.

Got funnier when the enemy team had a lvl 1 rosh strat (Wraith, Ursa) and my team refuse to listen to me when I try to warn them. They then get aegis, 5v5 us with the early levels and aegis. Team abandons after saying "Report Puck for ruining our strat, and for being a noob picker".

Doto, wai u match me with these ppl -_-

Today I played Enchantress jungle with Spectre and Bloodseeker bot. Spectre says "OMG you can't have 3 people on the same lane!" and proceeds to go top with Riki.

Lets all have a moment of silence, for this poor soul who is stuck it wood tier, may icefrog have mercy on his MMR and give him many wins/good teammates.
