You might be playing better yourself but playing worse as a team.

Part of playing on a team of retards is learning to babysit them and command them around.

The point of Kotl is you focus him and lose a long game or don't focus him and lose a short game. He's one of the best ganking supports because Mana Leak is so broken, Illumination is for farming and splitpushing, mana leak is for killing or getting your carries kills.

Look at this shit.
I forced this team to win. From the start Omni and CK were fighting over last hits and everyone was whining about Venge mid (who went 5-0-1 in 10 minutes partially thanks to me but mostly just him). Medusa played farming simulator and went with the hot new build from 2009, somehow still ended up carrying us late game, I really don't know how but yeah.

Eventually Omni gets so pissed off he just stops grouping with us at all and farms jungle. We pick off WR, the sole hero on the enemy team holding their team together and Medusa just 1v4s while focusing the rax and Huskar kills us all, comes out with 3 kills and 70% of his health and still had the aegis. Mind fucking boggling that I got carried by this Medusa in the end, but whatever.
Anyways I'm on a tangent.

KotL HAS to be focused and has to be initiated on otherwise blinding light slaps your shit with an 80% blind while mana leak and also blinding light fucks up your team's positioning hard. Illuminate absolutely chunks even with only 2 or 3 points in it, and it further fucks up your team's positioning, and if he chakra magics someone with a stun that's a -4 second cooldown on it, so even more team disruption during a fight if it goes on for longer than 6 seconds.

And if you do blow everything you have to kill KotL, as their WR so desperately did, you then don't have much left to kill the rest of the team with, and most of the time KotL still got off at least 1 or 2 spells.

KotL is really fucking strong with the right team comp or any enemy lineups that rely on fast speeds or right clicking.
So WR Ursa Axe Dark Seer and Huskar were all fucked over by me, Huskar less so since he has a self purge.

Treant will be more do nothing this game than a Rubick

>>148017072
still wouldn't cause him to be picked more

the issue isn't his health or base damage, but his abilities being lukewarm relative to some other common supports

disables are the name of the game

>>148017254
tree can disable every enemy in the map with aghs

>>148017342
that's a big gold investment that he might not necessarily reach every game. overgrowth is obviously a good ability but he doesn't do enough early game, as seen in this game.

Just played a 1 hour game that ended in two retards challenging our whole team with a 10 slotted alch to a base race. We throned them after they took 1.5 Tier 4's, then they instantly leave out of embarrassment. retards.

>>148027662
when youre playing support veno you go to lane with a tango, salve, clarity and 2 gg branches. the first skillpoint is either gale (if you can get a kill at the rune) or sting to harass the offlaner. you go 1-1-3. by that time you shouldve won the lane and you can take some time to ward and farm the jungle. make some good rotations then go back to warding and farming jungle. then get some pickoffs and push towers with plague wards. repeat until won.

Can somebody explain to me why the developers of EVERY SINGLE FUCKING competitive game cater to the powergamers first and foremost?

Powergamers are going to powergame. You're not going to lose them. Make meta and game changes for the REST of us, not the NEET faggots who will keep playing from their basement day and night for their E-Peens.

You want ME, the comparatively casual player to keep having fun. If I say Alchemist is overpowered because you can kill him 15 times and he's still 6-slotted by minute 40, then you should fucking nerf Alchemist because otherwise I'll quit the game.

Case in point; I stopped playing the game in December because of Alchemist. I don't care of the high MMR folk can play around him. I'm the one who comes here to have fun, not them. I used to spend $10 every week on virtual hats. They ain't getting that revenue anymore. Wonder how much cash the powergamer faggots pour into the game meanwhile. I bet not as much as my type.

But whatever, I guess they know better than me. E-Peensters must be spending more cash than I do. Oh well.

fair enough complaining about someone doing that in something like DnD when you just want to have fun with your mates, but games like DOTA don't have a story etc they are designed to be played relentlessly to get better at, and it's not unfun or antisocial to do so

obviously you're not showing team comps because even from that screen alone it looks like your garbage mid game team let the game go too long and lost fights due to the increased amounts of creeps +35 mins into the game on top of losing a fight at 30 mins and again at 35, i'm assuming those were high grounds, allowing the enemy team, who probably had shit like spectre, naix and probably a sniper since you got owned in high ground, to hit their strides and run you retards down. The concept of midgame/lategame teams is a pretty solid foundation of dota, you got crushed by a mechanic that's been in the game longer than you've played.
Just for shits and giggles, the enemy team in my head was AM, lycan, sniper, tide, and lion, and you got ran the fuck down.

>>148035051
Because Sven can twoshot entire teams at 19 mins with those 13k of items so why the fuck would you try to drag the game out purely because MUH HARD CARRY

>>148035314
Get a moonshard and eat it to use that slot for another moonshard

>>148035314
keep echo and eat moon shard, echo gives you 2 guaranteed ult hits which is usually enough to kill both supports and take the rest down to half health if you built crit you can kill almost the whole team if you are positioned right

>2 last csgo majors won by BRazilians

so that's why that game is dying so fast lately

sven is pretty shit late game once bkb is down to 5 seconds and everyone has items that can deal with him like ghost scepters euls force staffs hexes abyssals halberds etc this is why heroes like Slark will always be better with 6 items

GG YOUR BAD?

GG YOU JUST COST US A FUCKING HOUR AND A HALF? upgrades his shitty fucking shadowblade to silver edge and doesn't have any money for buyback and its all over.

Meanwhile earthshitter never ulted in a single fight, kept feeding gems and getting picked 24/7 by clinkz before he bought a 60 minute ghost scepter, and shitty pudge was a useless cuck of a teammate who never got any hook picks off to turn the tides of the game. What the fuck do you do with your life after losing a 90 minute game, i stood up from my computer and it felt worthless because the past 90 minutes had been my eyes infatuated onto my monitor and now i was free to leave.
