TIHS SHIT IS HILARIOUS

Why is life so shit?

I just realized i dont belong on my mmr range.
3.3k is way too low for me, everyone is a shitter.

So instead of randoming every game, what hero should I midpick to 4k?

you should know that yourself, "4k"

You're right, mirana sounds pretty good honestly. Not that dependent on team.

I just punctured my skin with a rusty nail, will I die of Tetanus?

Probably. You should go get a tetanus shot. Unless you're a poorfag American then you just die I guess.

Real poorfags get medicare and have the middle class pay their medical bills.

Working class is the ones who die.

post thread my fellow cooperative poster.

I'm from reddit. Can confirm.

...

reminder league of legends is a worse game

>ally picks ________
>you've already lost mentally

whos the hero

techies

They just got fucking doggo'd

Tiny, Kunkka, Dragon Knight, Brewmaster, Treant Protector, Io, Bristleback, Legion Commander, Axe, Wraith King, Underlord, Sniper, Troll Warlord, Bloodseeker, Shadow Fiend, Venomancer, Viper, Jakiro, Chen, Techies, Pugna

Well, they tried.

>intentional feed 1 time on my smurf
>paired with abandoner and trolls next game

welp

>Beesa will never have a good team

I'm so ecstatic right now!! I am a 2k player and this game I was playing Dazzle at the start of the match I bought wards and couriers and everything, then in mid game my team's Riki said "you support good" then Slardar and Slark agreed with "yeah" and "Dazzle is good" respectively. I said "thank you :)" then after the end of the game I saw my commend increase from 0 to 1! I don't know who commended me but it's probably the Riki :)

I never felt as happy in a DotA game as right now, it definitely gave me a BIG confident boost!!! Now I can confidently play more online matches instead of with bots!

Thank you for reading you guys! :)

EDIT: in case any of you guys want to see my 2k match 2661123099 :)

>Create new account since I sold my main one
>Check da stats
>see this

DOTARDS?

haha thanks for posting man :)

These are my list of least played hero:
Wraith King - 1
Clockwerk - 1
Medusa - 2
Sniper - 2
Riki - 4
Winter Wyvern - 6
Razor - 6
Legion Commander - 6

So how should I play these, 4.1k bracket

>tfw no cat priestess gf

Is this the Mirana arcana?

IF UR A TRYHARD DONT JOIN THE INHOUSE AND TURN IT INTO A TRYHOUSE

I don't have the energy to be mad, but I just don't know why I keep bothering with my life.

I only came to Grant's stream for the memes, not the feels.

U A truck driver fool? sucks desu

>enemy Slark finishes his 6th item, a butterfly
>my medusa buys a 40 minute linkens (we were mega raxed at this point)
>my void has a manta, completing his 10k networth
>[Allies]Morphling: "Need 5321 gold for Monkey King Bar"
>enemy team also had a PA

Scratch that, it was a 50 minute linkens after hurricane pike, manta and silver edge.

No, just some 18 years old guy that ran away from his abusive household. It's awful but at least I don't get beaten to a pulp every day.

I do heavy physical work for 12 hours 5 times a week to survive. I like to daydream about being a pro player and streaming and talking to chat and have fun on a skype call but I know it will never happen, especially because I'm only 4k.

I don't enjoy trash talking people anymore, everything just feels so dull and I have no energy for anything.

ppd+grant cast

get in here senpai

>win you 1vs2 offlane
>mid and safelane get stomped

coaching is a scam
you don't improve from sessions
analyzing how you could've played specific scenarios is pointless because those exact concepts will never come up again
improving at dota now is so easy because you have access to replays
people just somehow expect to improve without actually playing the game

What would dota be like if creeps and towers were player controlled and distributed money among their team when they got last hits?

Any estimates on when the next Compendium / Battle Pass will be?

about a month when the patch comes out

I feel relief when I exit a game and see that red glow behind my profile pic.

>it's a "thirdie picks a carry and drops out of the game" episode

+3 for da d2g ih FT. COSMO

How much Grandgrant would ask for trainning a team?
>in b4 implying he is good

Breh you posted the wrong Cosmo

WAT

I can't take it anymore just give me something Valve, I need my fix

>decide to be carry picker for once
>end up being 1v2 vs axe and luna
>axe just does his epic proxy and gets uncontested freefarm while nyx runs a train on my shitter teammates

I hate sub 2k mmr, I always get retards who spend the whole game raging when THEY'RE the real problem.

Also, wtf is up with CM players? I've literally never seen one do anything but afk in lane like they're playing LeL and just feed the game away. Why don't people play their heroes properly?

>constantly highest mmr in game
fuck off valve
i cant carry these shitters who pick 4 cores instantly

>atun literally runs down mid before his team calls gg
ive been waiting for this moment ofr a long time

CK aghs:
-Chaos Bolt always does max damage and stun.
-Reality Rift always pulls the target to your location and leaves you unmoved.
-The armor reduction from Chaos Strike is applied on each attack.
-Phantasm always creates the extra illusion.

Ah!

Real CK Aghs:
Gives out more 4s -------------------^

Some of the worst suggestions I've ever read.

can someone please explain what this fucking thing is?

>Why don't people play their heroes properly?
>drums juggernaut

please stop, i already did this schtick for 2 years

>drums

Perfect, I am sending him ticket to Peru right now

>another night of watching BSJ stream

>Tfw Zai is still playing battlerite with RTZ and cr1t so I don't know your feel

>not a mental illness
wew lad, I never should have ignored cosmo painting his nails, what an obvious sign

Crystal "TeraSlut" Maiden

literally sucking off carries in the bushes between creep waves and walking around with frozen popsicles of cum hanging from between her gaping smelly cunt.

ROFL LMAO kill yourself slut

so how do i exactly git gud at this shit game

ive been 4.5k for forever

try to not do the same fuckups twice?

man i fucking wish eg won TI this year

imagine the NYT headlines and all those shit

4.5k -5k purgatory is for people who have zero idea how to play from behind

any protips? or is it too hard to explain over a mongolian used car parts shop?

not him

tip on playing from behind is to never go tilt
tilt comes 100% from raging aka dotards best aspect raging/whiny

Can a support-carry duo exist in which the support is the domme?

I've only seen supportsluts and the bullying thereof.

How the FUCK do you win games like these?
Gyro was mid and Mirana and WR offlane.
At some point Rubick started randomly fadebolting the creepwave, pinging that he needs 200 gold for the arcane boots, then flaming me for not letting him lasthit. He also pulled zero times and never hit an """offlane medusa""" with an autoattack once, so i had to stop farming, blink and rightclick the bitch a few times before a well fed pudge started ganking the lane and killing Rubick over and over again. Then our ancient fucking exploded.

Can a support-carry duo exist in which both parties don't roleplay like a bunch of retarded faggots and interact like fucking human beings

learn how to use paint/crop

Shit man, croped that like shit.
The point still stands i guess.

Its not like its going to affect you in any way. If anything, it will increase your chances of +25. Support-carry communication wins safelanes, and we've always used our own VoIP.

Just looking for some other degenerates' experiences before I start preying on this carry player.

if you're serious
improving at dota nowadays is incredibly easy
here's how
1. play as much as you can. hopefully that's 3+ games a day because it's a lot harder to improve otherwise
2. learn to play meta heroes by watching replays of high mmr players
3. put effort into trying to play well and improving. that means actively try to look more often at the minimap and check enemy items etc.

that's literally it
if you have an IQ of at least 100, there's no way you'll be stuck in 4k

>t. Lina

pro tip:

stop playing because dota is a shit game and a dead game

deleet this

What's a non dead game?

>that one needy fuck who constantly messages you and tries to get you to play with him

Well, are we going to play today?

>watch replays

yeah about that...

just play with him you retard

>barely farms, and only in jungle
>does literally nothing but right click in one direction toward enemy and spam ability keys
>somehow manages to feed after roshing five times
>you will literally always win when he is on the enemy team
>is likely to ragequit

Daily reminder that Ursa pickers should literally kill themselves before Valve has to implement negative MMR for them

I should just honestly stick to cuckport. I'm literally the best sub-2k support out there just because I buy out wards, pull and stack and gank instead of sitting with my thumb up my ass in lane and rushing Aghs with 4 wards in shop. Playing carry automatically puts you at an disadvantage because your team will never help you farm or win your lane and the enemy team is more likely to have a tryhard omni picker than you.

Btw, why is drums bad on Jugg? It's cheap stats and you get a nice little speedboost for escapes or chasing people with spin.

this guy needs to kill himself heres a free (you)

Just deleted him from my friend's list lol.

this is a lebbit post right
