a lot of russians, chinese, and brazilians just queue for all languages. It annoys me too, because they all tend to be much worse at dota than english speakers.

I've been playing this whenever my cousin is on... the two major reasons it's worse than league:

1. Foreigners are in the same q. They don't communicate and mostly suck jajaja.

2. No surrender. Sucks when you are down 2 raxes and 30 kills, your team has given up and the other team won't finish. Complete waste of time.

if you ignore gameplay, league is better.

Learn to pull the camps or if your carry trusts you, you can go for the imba hard camp pull with rubick on bot lane.

Get a trilane if possible and go for fb. If not, try harassing your opponent with right clicks and help your carry get cs by timing your last hits well.

Your team mates will prolly blame you for a loss and credit themselves when they win. Standard.
Thanks for that list.
Was trying out CM but was looking for adding some other support chars
Gonne try out your list

would be interesting if they limited the hero pool to start and you unlock heroes the more games you play/win. make it more annoying for people to just make new accounts and you let newer players learn heroes/abilities at a more reasonable rate.

New players already have to play through some sort of tutorial now. Glad I made all my smurfs a while back!

New players have to play the tutorial? As in you cant play competitive games until you finish the tutorials? I was playing it on my account just for fun.

Also, how do you make a new account if you want to start over? Do you have to make a new steam account with a new email?

Yeah as far as I know you are forced to complete the tutorial mission (forget which hero it has you play - DK maybe?) before you can play any games whatsoever.

You make a new account by having another steam account with a new email.

you know in pick up basketball, if one person is really good, and another person is obviously not so good... ever seen the really good person throw a good, but fast pass at the noob person, who probably won't be able to handle the pass since they are noob... then that noob person might turn it over and then the good person is like wtf?

i think ive done this a lot in dota, basically expected too much from teammates.

pretty much when i solo queue i call out stun orders and everything over the mic cuz i assume people dont know how to play. for example yesterday i was playing NP (obv) and was tping into a lane to gank a undying or something (forget who exactly - but had no escape). There was a venge in the lane in front, and i tp'd behind.

Exact confrontation went as follows:

-I announce that I am TPing in behind and that I am ulting and to tell venge to stay within vision so my ult hits
-I tell venge I will sprout first, and to follow up with a stun as soon as the sprout ends.
-After venge has stunned I tell them to swap a few moments after the undying has started to run away. Gank successful.

Here's how it would have probably went down if i didn't say anything:

I tp in, venge afking my ult doesnt hit. I sprout the undying, venge swaps to break the sprout and the undying starts to run away freely. Venge follows up with a stun and the undying just tank 2 seconds of auto attacks and walks back to base

Mushi goes to China. They think its either DK to partner Burning with Mushi or to replace Sylar.
