Oh wow, made my day (night) so true. Especially the Russian part :P

Through a random steam message I discovered how much an item I had for over a year was worth. Dragonclaw Hook for Pudge, 70 us dollars.

I hope someone buys it. ^.^

edit: Someone bought that quickly. FUCK YES!!!!!

Aww yeah, had such an epic game. Over an hour long and we were starting to lose, I played bane and my friend pudge, so easy hook setups.. ruled early game picking off easy kills but a fed pudge only works for so long and our hard carries easily got nuked by lich ult combined with mag ult and a fed viper. Ended up with both teams losing mid rax, then we got their ancient down to a 1000 hp. By this time teamfight were starting to look very bad for us and so we made a final risky decision, backdoor their ancient. Ah the reactions on skype when we dove it, mag ult sucked most of us in and killed me and some other peeps but pudge so tanky so he kept hitting. Carries also got some good damage on it before mag came in. It looked like it was not going to work which would have meant definite loss for us, which is why it was so risky, but since pudge didnt get sucked in the mag ult he kept hitting and we managed to win just past the backdoor protection heals. Dayum.

My luckiest game ever was probably this game.

We managed to fence off a final attack after strugling getting in the enemy base, our ancient had 10 HP left, they didn't attack us but all focussed our ancient after they ALL bought back and charged us.

I managed to backdoor so we got some super mega creeps off, TPed back to try to fend the attack off with 5 people spawning every 5 seconds in our base, we manage to hold em off then zerg rush into the enemy and we won.

So happy that game.

Also.

Seems everyone had good/fun games today. Had two memorable ones, one in which all of us ended up hardcore feeding (well not me and Christo so much, we were playing with two of our arabic fanboys from Cyprus who always end up feeding). But due to their PL being such a comedian he ended up throwing the game for them and I was controlling the team fights as Quas/Wex Invoker, got off some nice disables. God I love Invoker .

Second game I had to ditch so didn't finish it sadly, but had a 70ish% hit-kill rate on my Sunstrikes. The most epic one was a bit of a hail mary, but landed a hair-thin SS on a retreating TA through the fog. Caught a glimpse of her moving back from their mid T1 tower and estimated a nice SS. I was extatic.

So yeah, I'm so maining Invoker. Even though I have 70% win rate on LS as well as an amicable win rate for Ursa, I just find farming 60% of the game to be absolutely fucking boring.

Future Dendi ???

Get real Bjord.

 

Was a really unlucky day for me, hit and miss.

That PL though, oh god my sides. 
(He died to Roshan, did so much stupid stuff that we managed to turn the game around)

DOTA has gone full retard. 

The op:

(click to show/hide)

The GOOD:

 If Valve was looking for a painful and nasty punishment, they really hit the nail on the head. A total chat ban is extremely frustrating for the person banned. Probably enough to make them consider not speaking again for the next few matches if they have nothing nice to say.

 The BAD:

 "Nice to say" is a relative term. A player might simply not agree with the your approach to the game. They might feel embarrassed about their horrible hook with clockwork into 5 heros that results in their immediate death. They might just be having a bad day, and playing poorly in that particular match. Having played with the old report system since it was first introduced, I can tell you with CERTAINTY that these are all reasons for which a player will report. This in effect, limits expression out of fear for how your words will be heard. This is a rule by force, rather than respect approach to cleaning up the community. People turned on S2 very quickly for this type of approach.

 A total chat ban is not only a frustration for the person banned, it is also a frustration for any future teams that they are a part of throughout the term of their ban. It is CRIPPLING to any higher skilled matchmaking game. The use of chat is so important, the effect of NOT speaking angers your own team. Sometimes resulting in more reports.

 The UGLY:

 The system WAS.NOT.NEEDED. Already implemented, is a way to mute people. If people are sick of how someone is talking to them, with two clicks of their mouse the problem is not only gone, it will never occur again from that player. Why in the world did Valve feel it was necessary to punish people with a CHAT BAN, of all things? People can already fine turn who they hear and who they don't. If some guy wants to rage, hes muted. It's incredibly simple AND effective.

 THE SYSTEM IS AUTOMATED!!! How did this ever make it into the game? I'm literally shocked. It is as if Valve employees never play solo. An automated system is absurdly easy to abuse, specifically for people like me who play 90% of their games solo. A team of people who don't like how you play (which is not reportable), or are losing a game, will normally turn on the outsider and scream for his head. Even if you have said very little or done hardly anything wrong, they will find you and use you as their scapegoat until it makes them feel a little better inside.

TLDR version anyone can report someone for chat abuse resulting in an automated mute, that stacks.  1 day 1st report, 3 days second report, 3+ week long.  It not only mutes all in game chat/VOIP but also in party chat, chat rooms of any sort. 

This IS MADNESS.
