it's buried in here somewhere, dotabuff forums doesn't have a search function
i didn't label it part 1 either, but i just posted whatever our conversation was
Relentless: dota provides an opportunity to practice life skills
Relentless: like patience and tolerance
this
i'm fairly certain i'm not the only one whose patience and tolerance levels have DECREASED since playing dota habitually
@omega, search it with google if you know the keywords "dotabuff whatever you wanted to search"
more often than not I find what I'm looking for

He doesn't visit/rarely visits so I will be his liaison.
Empire: i've noticed
Empire: in almost every single loss
Empire: i had recently
Empire: it was unfair
Empire: i had 2 dogshit players
Empire: who picked worthless heroes
Empire: like "support potm"
Empire: and didn't do a damn thing
Empire: all game
Empire: just feed over and over after failing to land arrows
Empire: meanwhile the other team's trash palyers
Empire: with ~4.9k mmr (lowest mmr in the range)
Empire: pick shit like lich
Empire: earthshaker
Empire: sand king
Empire: i.e. just click a few spells
Empire: and you can provide impact
Empire: to the game
Empire: oh and
Empire: i actually had to work
Empire: for my wins
Empire: i didnt' get
Empire: any free wins
Empire: at all
Empire: if i win it's cuz we outplay the other team
Empire: and the game is actually pretty even
Relentless: free wins?
Empire: i haven't
Empire: gotten any
Empire: trust me
Empire: if i did i would be jumping for joy
Relentless: hmm i get free wins sometimes
Empire: well i didn't
Empire: the only time
Empire: i got a free win
Empire: was when the enemy 5.4
Empire: got mad
Empire: cuz someone picked riki
Empire: and went mid
Empire: to steal exp
Empire: for 2 waves
Empire: and then he ran down mid LOL
Empire: my losses are
Empire: 2-3 retards usually, almost no impact at all (other than feeding like autists)
Empire: sometimes 4 retards all being useless trash
Empire: and enemy team has 2 or 3 retards but they pick ez to play heroes
Empire: so they can still be useful
Empire: it would be a fair match if the retards on both teams picked
Empire: useful heroes
Empire: or if they BOTH picked non-useful heroes
Empire: not one team's retards picking useless shit
Empire: like jungle legion xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Empire: and then we lose map control 15 min in, so i have nowhere safe to farm
Empire: and then they die to every single gank due to 0 map awareness
Empire: also cuz people refuse to buy wards
Empire: and this is 5500-5600 mmr
Empire: i don't even understand what is going on
Empire: 5500 isn't pro or even excellent by top tier players' standards but u would expect people to be SOMEWHAT good at dota
Relentless: well... they are
Relentless: but
Relentless: doesn't mean they are good at that particular hero
Relentless: or
Relentless: playing to win
Empire: or maybe they don't want to support?
Empire: yea idk what to say
Empire: if u are 4k trash in a 5k match u SHOULD support, that's just common sense.
Empire: i support in almost every game if i'm lower than avg on EU West
Empire: when i watched swiftending replays in solo q
Empire: a while back
Empire: when he climbed from 6300 to 7000
Empire: he had supportive teammates
Empire: in over 70% of his games
Relentless: i find dramatic 1k MMR equvalent changes in play from one hero to the next are common
Empire: i'm not saying i'm 7k skilled like he is
Empire: i'm saying i don't get people who are supportive at all
Empire: they just run around
Empire: and are useless
Empire: 0 impact
Empire: don't stack camps
Empire: don't carry TPs
Empire: or any of that shit
Empire: i can tell my 3k mmr friends
Empire: on teamspeak
Empire: to stack
Empire: so i can farm faster
Empire: and they would do it
Empire: but miraculously i can't tell these 4.9k idiots
Empire: for some reason
Empire: ego to skill ratio too high for certain brackets???
Empire: i just lost it
Empire: i don't know how to remain calm like u usually do
Empire: i'm also getting pretty old
Empire: for dota
Empire: if i tell beesa this
Empire: he will just tell me to
Empire: "get good noob"
Empire: one team's players are playing like they are -1000 mmr
Empire: from what their actual mmr is
Empire: and that makes the game imbalanced
Empire: and unenjoyable unless u are MUCH better than ur current rating to compensate for their trashiness
Relentless: well, the thing is
Relentless: dota is a team game so
Relentless: really you are not playing dota
Relentless: if you solo que
Empire: true
Empire: you are playing
Empire: an asymmetrical co-op
Relentless: solo que is just for practicing skills
Relentless: if you are going to be serious about dota
Empire: join a taem?
Empire: yea idk
Empire: i'm quitting soon
Empire: i'm gonna be like u
Empire: actually
Empire: probably poke my head in
Empire: every 6 months
Empire: and play a little with whoever is on
Empire: that's fine with me
Empire: i will have 6k mmr soon to get further away from the trash
Empire: and i'll be satisfied
Empire: it's just the process of playing solo q is insufferable
Empire: i don't complain about losses if it seems both teams are relatively even and it's a back and forth game
Empire: not one where we get raxed 15 min in
Empire: cuz the guy who instapicked mid is a shitter and complete garbage truck
Relentless: dota provides an opportunity to practice life skills
Relentless: like patience and tolerance
Empire: looks like i'm failing (flailing) hard
Empire: LOL
Relentless: like many things it is simple (not easy)
Relentless: simple, but the fact is you are the only one who decides what makes you angry
Relentless: people can't make you upset unless you let them
Relentless: why give them that power over you?
tl;dr i'm a complete retard for getting mad at pubs
