DOTAFire :: DotA 2 Builds & Guides for Hero Strategy

+Rep Report

Seeing ThreadOfFate's blog post, i thought i'd share a common experience of every good player in these harsh times,

DOtabuff link to game

Game starts, I random , call the safelane, a few seconds later a and antimage are picked, I say all is well , ill support and go for a mid alchemist and call the guys to get a support.

Lightning strikes as the pro noob picks up an , i tell him i called mid 2 min ago, he says "i go mid kill pudge" , i hear the victory bells ringin already, still i think maybe we can pull through.

Next up enigma pick, i think its nice, guy picks a support, maybe he is good. I buy courier and tell him to get wards, he says flat out no. I sadly buy the wards and head offlane as AM called solo top(we were dire) expecting weaver to follow me, they both take safelane together.

News Flash! First mid lane kills ember. I solo kill bot against a dual but its not enough, i die to gank, i cant stop PA from farming.

Fights start, AM feeds since min 3,continues to afk farm for a 22 min BF, weaver is shockingly a good player, he is doing good, but as fate would have it, not 1 B-hole was cast by that A-hole.

Rest should be pretty easy to comprehend, also as game is about to end Enigma flames me for not being farmed, and i'm like,how dense is he?

P.S. : To this moment, ember searches for his battlefury.

I know, it happens a lot to me, too: we once had a who called mid, but then an Ukrainian decided to take the mid lane instead. The funny thing is that we won, but we had a really balanced team aside from the mid Abaddon.

You mean this match? ^

Lol you must have lost all hope, bigger idiots are those which then dont take the high road and leave instead of dual mid.

There's a big difference between your match and Mr.E43's...you had me! ON OF ALL HEROES!!! 8{D

Seriously though, if you have a competent 3 stack with good Snowballin' (or in') potential, 1 ****tard is usually not enough to stop you. If you're Solo, just 1 of them can lose you the game even if you and the other 3 players do pretty well.

You and me got Fed hard because we were playing with strong Heroes and knew how to play them to best effect (remember that Double Kill I got by shooting an at Dire's Top Tower because they let themselves get low? 8{3 ). We then capitalized on that momentum and won the game as 3 and a half (The random only counts as a half player 8{3 ).

I know its legit thats why i did it, but whenever i call a lane and some1 else takes it, i immediately picture a loss because that shows the players childish nature and snobbish behaviour.

Support is actually legit, but I don't understand why AM and Weaver decided both to go safe lane. Personally, I would've done dual safe lane with AM leaving offlane: while I don't like playing solo Weaver, it works pretty well versus pub dual lanes and most of the time the enemies won't even pick sentries to try and kill him. Also, Ember dying to Pudge? Seriously? A level in is all he needed, so he could escape his .

And about pub s, I never trust them: aside from the , which in my opinion actually isn't an initiation tool but more like a counter-initiation tool (unless you have another initiator so you can use the BH as a follow-up), they usually can't exploit his farming potential and keep ganking the safe lane (failing, of course) instead. Plus, they never buy Wards when needed by the team.
