Pub Skrubs II

Well, from that Jugeernaut game I watched, you major problems were:

1)Horrible laning. Leshrac and Phanotm Lacner are hard to lane against, true(though they wasted most of their lane potential), but you shoul have gotten a lot more lh in that lane. You just stood back when you could lh a creep withiout risk, but you also randomly approcahed the creepwave to hit some full-hp creep and take harass for no reason. Also you don't measure your powers(that tower dive), and you didn't care at all about Leshrac casting his obvious stun.

2)Poor item choices. Like, really, Desolator into Helm of the Dominator??? Also what I mentioned when you got Divine. At least read some quality guides and learn to itemise decently if you want to play carry heroes.

And of course overall game desicions, they are just too many to cover, it comes with experience. But on basic level try at least not to go 1 vs 5 like you did several times there and if you pick Juggernaut after enemy's Phantom Lancer get something better than Deso and HotD.


That's all i recall, it would be very long to go on all the issues. Watch how good players play(dotobuff->top rankings->look for a solo diamond player->copy matches ID->paste into DotaTV) and improve - that's the best thing you can do now.

I don't even know what Tinker was doing all game. Never typed anything, never heard anything or saw him at all.

All I remember is that Slark took mid instead of Tinker. And lost it to Sniper. I feel like the only reason we couldn't fight Sniper was because he got so farmed. If we focused him, he'd be dead. If I was 1v1ing him, he died. But my team wouldn't focus him at all >.<

Highlights of the match included Ursa dying to Roshan and their entire team autoattacking me and using abilities on me when my ult went off.

honestly i saw this one haha

i laughed ... now sorry if that seems harsh but

a: they bought 3 shadowblades....

b: the tinker ...oh god haha

c: sniper wins pub games LEWL

ok soooo

item wise: eh pretty normal for carry Abbadon i honestly would have built shadow blade or blink (either or really)

build wise max shield and curse first. also u kinda were going to lose anyway ... draft wise i guess.

about blink on slark

it allows reliable initiation which u need since pounce is ******** easy to dodge.
you can pounce away and then blink and your like 3000 units away by the time they get to you ... plus 12 seconds of regen allows u to turn around and blink back in for more kills which is how slark should be played.
jump in jump out jump in jump out
it accelerates ur chase and escape basically.

I think that was my first time as Zeus XP.

But yeah. I can see why. I need the escape mechanism and gap closing capability. Sniper, SB, PA.


I don't think I was earning enough gold for BKB or Blink XD. First time as Slark, definetly bombed it. But I'm just wondering, what is point of blink on Slark? I mean, if you can consistently land pounce then what does blink dagger offer?

this one...

buy bkb and blink.

bkb should have been core this game bro. look at them ... tinker zues wind axe tree

BKB CORE haha also blink because u needed to be able to get at that back line before they did their damage. you needed control both defensive and offensive bkb basher blink skadi... and you would have destroyed them.

send me 3 games you want me to look at and ill watch them and help.

Ok.

I am trying to get better.

If you're looking at game records or even replays, I'd also very much appreciate it if you could tell what I am doing wrong (there's obviously something) and how I can improve that. Aside from becoming the silent type. I doubt you'd want to, but I would appreciate it.

A polite person would never spam "REPORT TROLL OR I REPORT YOU" in chat. Basically never.

I am not polite most games(I'm just silent), it's not hard to piss me off at all, but even when I was incredibly mad at anyone the most I would write in all-chat would just "report *heroname* pls".

Choose one - either you are polite, or that game never happened.

When I called you a horrible person I meant you as a person to play dota with/against. You may save kittens every day IRL but if you turn from "polite person" to one of the worst flamers I've ever seen just because someone fed Divine(there are lots of ways to **** up the game even worse FYI), you should just quit playing Dota.

I've never been a patient person.


There are some things I wait for, all the time.

But for the most part, I don't particularly enjoy waiting.


I don't have any illusions about my skill level. I made a thread about how much of a skrub I am, and asking for tips and possibly a coach to help better my skill. I got 3 replies, all of them saying that I should only try new heroes in bot matches, and play a handful in normal matchmaking. And that was about it. I started reading guides on this site, made an account in the hopes of bettering my DotA. Please, don't pretend that you actually care about my skill or arrogance. At least be honest. Just have a laugh at the stupid things that happened in that game. That's why I made the blog. So people could laugh at the stupid **** that happens in my games. Laugh at me if you want.

Edit: I'm also wondering what prompted you to call me a horrible person?

Dimony, forgive the young Padawan.

He is young, not yet seasoned in the ways of the patient ones.

I'm not that full of myself.

I try to be polite and courteous in games as much as possible. I try my best not to flame. I haven't flamed for the last games I've played at all, in an attempt to be a positive influence on my team. Except for that game.

I couldn't do that. I couldn't farm safely. The enemy spent the entire rest of the game attacking our base. I had to go on the defensive. In hindsight, I definitely should have bought BKB. But I was really, really angry because of what Troll was doing there. Being a troll. I'm sorry.

Fun fact: despite being a horrible player and a horrible person(you don't deserve a higher rating btw - you, your allies and enemies all played equally horrible) you could win the game if you would buy Black King Bar and Mjollnir/ Battle Fury after you got Divine, but you went against common sence there. Your gameplay was not that bad for a player with 100 games, but your behavior... I've never seen such a low actual skill to arrogance ratio.

Get better or try to be a little less full of yourself if you want people to take you seriously.
