A place to vent your dota frustrations

I just played 2 games, in the first one, i picked sandking and asked my team to pick one roaming support to join me, instead i was greeted with a PL last pick after the timer says that our silencer who went boots first was the support. I can't do **** with that, so we do the worlds worst trylane and lose.

Seconds game, I tell my team before the game I AM GOING TO PICK TINY, AND I AM GOING TO GO MID! Other team picks SF, I can do it i belive! Team randoms Razor and Puck and kicks me to the safelane (I picked before they randomed). Then we get a darkseer. Our only support is witch doctor, who feed first blood to a solo tinker (HE GETS SOLO KILLED BY A TINKER AT LVL 1!) who scaled march first. He then proceded to be the worst support I have ever seen and couldn't throw a cask... not even kidding.

Thank you for reading, i am just frustrated with dota right now. Also, feel free to vent here too if you get frustrated and need to get it out.

We had a Storm Spirit who refused to leave bot lane to go mid, since we didn't have any applicable mids at the time. Our faceless void then took up the job and just went mid. After a short while, the storm spirit then went into the mid lane at like 10 mins and proceeded to get killed by pudge and get our faceless void killed too, so pudge had a beyond godlike streak at about 15 mins. The worst part is all of the enemies sucks, zeus just let me kill him, rubick sucked too, pudge missed a hook on me while I was being lifted by rubick. I mean come on.

There's something I find extremely frustating about DotA is the fact that it corrupts perfectly nice guys to become complete *******s. A week ago I started my first smurf account out of curiosity and I ended up in the tier where Battle Fury Drow Ranger is standard (cause Drow needs regen, right ^^), but I was completely flabbergasted by seeing that the people there are actually *nice*... No endless whining, no flame, people say constructive stuff in chat like "let's gank top" or "go rosh" and no ********, everybody speaks English, just WTF. No tryharding, no flame, just noob kids having fun.
DotA is a system of natural selection that selects the biggest *******s to climb in MMR and turns the rest of the nice guys to be just like them. This evil game was created to corrupt the world.

Probably my biggest frustration is picks...leaving aside the obvious idiocy of randoming last, it's that people try to pick like pro's, play like pro's and totally fail to get a lineup that matches EVERY SINGLE pro lineup since the dawn of the modern age - 1 carry, 1 mid, 1 offlaner, 2 supports.

Ok we have a hard carry, a mid, an offlaner and a support...what's missing...ah yes, I'm too good to play support...so we'll get another hard carry, um, another mid...AH GOT IT, AFK Jungler. But won't the enemy Bounty Hunter now be very difficult to kill in lane, require your solo support to spend all of their cash on detection early on, and make it easy to hunt you down in the jungle on low health? BUT DIDN'T YOU HEAR? I'M TOO GOOD TO PLAY SUPPORT.

The obvious addition to this is to ensure you buy a Hand of Midas, even if your team's lanes are getting their ***es handed to them due to your lousy pick...

Sigh. Story of my life when it comes to ****py players. Its bad when both of the supports end the game three levels higher than any three of the carries.

Or make the only support you have build a mek while still buying courier, upgrades to courier, wards, sentries, dust, and smoke.

Also not allowed to stay in lane to mooch xp off of carry.

It's bad when your team has a Meepo, Doom, Viper, and Razor; yet they expect the underleveled and underfarmed Shadow Shaman to build mek.

I've given up trying to give people advice on builds and what they should build into. Battle Fury PL; fine go for it. Shadow Blade Riki. Oh sounds so legit. Divine Rapier Pudge. Suuuure. (All of that has actually happened too)

I'm still angry because yesterday I had a ranked game where we almost won (got mid enemy rax when we still had most of our towers), but since the enemy had better lategame the teamfights got harder... and our Axe went afk in the fountain so the enemy team wiped us out and went straight for the fountain and won. We all reported him, even the enemy team, and I hope he stays in the low-priority hell forever >__>

Dota player walks into the bar...

Oh wait, that's another story.

So I came back after my, like, 2 month "vacation" from Dota 2, awaiting some "greetings man, glad to see ya again" signs from Dota, like a winstreak or at least some cool games, and what do I get? A 4 games lose streak. DOTO Y U NO LUV MI?!?!?!

Sleepy, and exhausted, I managed(well, ok, Mirana managed) to score a win, so this story has an happy end. But my feelings hurt anyway.

Haha this is too true. I'm only a 3.8kMMR but my buddies in the mid 4k say it's even worse there. Everyone in the 4k+ tier knows how to do everything better than the guy playing his hero. My favorite though is when teammates expect people to execute things like a pro than get pissed when you don't. Sorry guys it's 3k tier I'm not gonna hit every ability on point.

One of my most hated things is the game being honestly over at about the 30 minute mark. We can't fight back anymore, the enemies are fed (usually a Void), my team has given up, and yet the enemy team spends another 20 odd minutes FARMING WHEN THE VOID CAN LITERALLY ALREADY GET ULTRA KILLS ON HIS OWN.

I'm sure this has come up before, but I want at the very least a surrender vote. Actually, an idea would be that you CAN'T vote for surrender until after the 35 minute mark. Hm.

Had a game where I was a Shadow Shaman on Radiant, playing with an Axe, Keeper of the Light, Phantom Lancer and a Shadow Fiend. So before we started I was like, alright we actually have two supports this game should be alright.

We even get semi competent lanes from the start, the Shadow Fiend going mid, me and the PL go bot, and the Axe and KotL top.

Then the KotL buys Boots first, leaving me to both get Courier and Wards. He goes top before I can give him a ward to place, and spends 40 seconds pinging me to put a ward up over the top rune point. I give in, meaning our block on bot lane isn't as good as it could have been. So I go top, Stack the Ancients on my way, plant the ward, spot an Invisibility Rune. Grab it, and go gank the Pudge] mid with our [[Shadow Fiend (The Pudge being hit by an auto-attack for every creep he went for, and didn't yet have a bottle). I use Shackles, and we get the First Blood on Pudge, shortly before the KotL feeds the enemy Weaver.

I wander back bot, and thanks to now having Hex and Shackles and an over aggresive Drow Ranger/ Crystal Madien lane are trying to dive PL. I wander up, use Hex on the Drow Ranger who gets popped immediately by Spirit Lance + Tower hits. CM tries to run away, and I get off Shackles and gets our PL a double kill. And KotL feeds again.

Out of mana, but somewhat confident with the state of Bot Lane, I wander back to base, stacking a camp as I go. Buy boots, flying Panda, TP back bot. Stack and pull the small camp to get to level 4ish. And KotL feeds again, this time taking Axe with him. (Body blocking our own Axe as he ran away, letting Weaver get a double kill with Shukuchi. Game stays quite for a while, I hit 6, and me and PL push down bot tower. I spend my time otherwise stacking our jungle and buying more wards after KotL again pings for 40 seconds...

KotL then feeds again, and comes bot. Promptly starts taking all the last hits from our PL. I look at his items - He's building a Vanguard...

So 30 minutes later when we take a bad fight and get wiped, KotL starts being more of a ****, blaming me entirely for our situation, saying 'Shadow Shaman just wanders around doing nothing. Look at his itmes, he can't even farm lololololololol'. I then spend the rest of my death timer ripping into him by pointing out he's trying to build a Crit stick thus leaving me to ward, deward, buy dust, sentry's, build into the teams Mek, whilst still having stacked every single jungle camp on our side at least twice. Assisting in all of our early game kills, and still taking 4 of the enemies towers (Which promptly accelerated our Shadow Fiend to the point where he had 1000 damage crits.

KotL begins running into the enemy team at every opportunity and feeding, stating the same **** over and over again.

I mean, in the end we still win due to PL ratting whilst the entire enemy team tried to deal with our Aegis of the Immortal carrying Shadow Fiend. But it's like still really annoying and drags me own.

Especially since this stuff does happen fairly often. Makes me look forwards to the day I can find 4 other people to play properly with.
