On fine afternoon, I decided to try out an item build on AM that I had suggested yesterday. This build seemed very promising, so I was very excited. I had intended to get my friend to help support me so I can farm said items, but when I called him on skype, he declined and said he was leaving soon.
So I made my first mistake: playing alone.
Fast forward to the picking phase: I said 'I'm gonna carry'. This was followed by silence from the rest of my team, and then a Silencer pick (heh).
Soon, I made my second mistake: picking Anti-mage.
Now the beginning of the game started with me running to the safe-lane on the radiant side. 10 seconds after I passed my tier 2 tower, I realised something: no supports were coming with me. I pinged them and asked, 'can someone come with me?', to which the reply was:
AA: no, axe will be bot
Silencer didn't say a word. Literally, he didn't respond and just went top with out Drow, forming a tri-lane there. "I'm so ****ed," I thought, and I was right.
As I was proceeding down the lane with my first wave of creeps, an axe was standing in the lane behind my tower. Unable to contest, I circled around to my tower through the jungle and caught a glimpse of treant protector, who ignored me and started hitting the creeps with axe. As the creep-wave was cut, I was left in the bottom lane. Alone, helpless and running out of tangoes.
"FIRST BLOOD" the deep-voiced announcer bellowed. Our Ember had just died mid to a PA, just 2 minutes after the first creep wave had spawned. About a minute later, "Double kill!" Our entire tri-lane got dismantled by a solo Undying and a passing Doom. Wow, team is so pro! /sarcasm
4 minutes into the game, the Silencer finally opened his mouth, "someone help AM", he said. When there was no response, he teleported to the bottom lane. Guess what happened?
Silencer's head was pwned by Axe!
"noob carry can't farm", said all of my teammates in unison after seeing my items (which was, at the time, only boots, basilius and ring of health). I tried to talk some sense into them, that solo AM against Axe + treant protector or even just axe alone would be an impossible lane for me. They said "so many excuses, you just noob lah ****ing kid" with the annoying Singaporean slang (don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be racist. I'm Singaporean myself, but, just like there are some cyka blyats in Russia, there are chao chi bais here in Singapore). For the entire game, they said this to me when I tried suggesting something. My frustration built after 20 minutes of BM, and I finally exceeded my limit of patience. So I started saying "I noob", "I fail" and "You pro" in my teamchat repeatedly and also spamming chat wheel commands to annoy my team. They did get annoyed, and at least that put a smile on my face.
I proceeded to push the mid tower and the top tier 2 while my team was feeding in fights and demanding that I join, when I knew that I would obviously die if I did. I also ate 2 dooms, lived, and solo killed doom twice.
Obviously we lost at the end, but close to the end of the game, Doom and I were joking around, and he was calling me "ONII CHAN" and I affectionately referred to him as "DOOM CHAN" when I blinked to him to suicide "DOOM CHAN, TAKE ME!", to which he said "haha you watch too much hentai". My team resumed the BM because I was pretty much intentionally feeding at that point, but at that point the game had already ended. "noob carry" they said before they left the game. They probably also each left me a report for intentional feeding or chat abuse.
The whole point of this thread is not just to vent my frustrations, but also to say that I heavily appreciate the attitude of the dotafire community. It doesn't conform to the scumbag pubber idiot speak. We set our own standard of kindness, acknowledgement and respect here. Thanks guys, for all the good times we had, and keep up the culture of kindness here in dotafire!
Pory, take it from the troll.
When this bad a lineup happens and a yeam has no shred of semblence of thought to aid their carry, Spam that mute button and start ratting and ksing.
When i feed, i get flamed. I carry, either of the team ends up flaming me calling all BS.
The solution is simply to mute and go about doing what you can manage.
Let me give you an example.
I was in a similar sitaution with medusa solo with ogre magi and axe backdoor ing.
I switched lane and ppl flamed me for stealing exp. We naturally sacrificed the bot towers to axe.
Then some how i stole all cs from the enemies at top and my teammates flamed me for taking all farm. I muted the bastards.
Somehow i farmed a skadi.
The juggernaut in my team had an aghs and he synchronised with my ulti for some resistance to 5 man dire pushes . The game progressed to 40 minute brawl in the era of 6.81.
I got a rapier. Then i got another one. We lost all raxes. They had every rax standing. The opposing spectre farmed a refresher.
The final fight started: All heroes were dead. EXCEPT MEDUSA, At full health.
This farce happened 3 times that game.
I unmuted my team. Then i heard the high praise they had for me. They were tmcommending my fighting spirit
After listening to all this, i Threw The Game.
Yes, vengeance my friend, is best served cold. And then you can laugh with your friends on how funny that day was, like i am right now.
