artour usually plays pretty wel at TI, but cr1t is def going to choke yeah
>he is a slave to the circadian clock

>>184126559
>>184126706
as a former Shartour and Sh1t poster I must admit I was wrng
Cr1t is WAY better than Zai, people who would claim otherwise don't even watch the actual games they just repeat memes and or are gay for him
>>184127738
All of them. They are gonna win.

>>184128306
>>184128306
Literally no one in d2g thinks dendi is a top 10 mid. I'd even think that south americans can beat him.
how much of a friendless loser do you have to be to think someone referring to their friends as "the boys" includes you despite not even knowing your name lmao
>>184128740

How do those autistic neets and pros play like 12 games a day, its so hard.
>>184129217
>tfw knew multiple people like this and now try to avoid playing dota with them
>>184130519
because day9 is who you bring in when your esport is at its crest before crashing down into the trough

He's one of the only legitimately bad heroes in the game right now. There's no reason to choose him over sven
I would take pleasure in torturing Day9, I want to skin him alive in saltwater.
>>184128285
game of normies might as well be capeshit since they're both a forced meme by a marketing department.
>buy any of these cheap and cost efficient items with good buildup and your enemy has to either buy useless trash expensive 5.4k cost item with awful buildup or he will be useless against you
how is this shit balanced?
MKB buffs when?
>>184129217
agree
you know what's worse than peruvians? fuckign amerifats spewing memes and sperging when they lose.
>>184131905
speaking of which, why hasn't any captain done this? drafts based around forced itemization
>>184132023
Because dota is a game for brainlets?
>>184130626
>12 games a day
try 20 + replay reviews, pro here btw
>>184131905
javelins are honestly the worst shit ever
>>184131664
Stop posting worst tic
>>184131905
not to mention shitload of random evasion talents that some heroes have now
Why MKB has to be such expensive trash item? At least either make jewelins useful or swap one of them for yasha or something.
>>184132145
Fuck off blitz, you never accomplished shit
How does one play Tusk in these confusing modern times?

>>184132593
>>184131905
Solar Crest reduces evasion tho.
But I agree, there needs to be another way to counter evasion that isn't MKB/Bloodthorn/Solar Crest.
I've seen a suggestion of giving something like 10% accuracy on Javelin. That way you can partially start countering evasion without needing to finish MKB right away
>>184129217
>White is a state of mind
I wish it was ;_;
how to fix mkb (more specifically javelins)
>javelin cost reduced
>new item consisting of 2 javelins + recipe that gives 50% accuracy and some damage (number can chnage depending on how useful it is)
>mkb requires demon edge and this item
>>184129217

Will this guy ever not be overrated as fuck good lord. His peak was at Ti4, and he stopped being one of the best offalners post ti5.
Post ti6 he's been actual trash, like holy fuck he's so fucking washed up at this point it amazes me that people still think he's some fucking god tier player
>>184127895
sever at work looks exactly like sansa
>>184134008
I used to ask the same thing, but its only 6 months and the pay was so good that I would be able to survive the whole next year without working at all.
>>184134008

>>184134387
>its only 6 months
What?
>>184133349
the time when i climbed from 4k to 4.8k kinda is a blur to me now.
I mostly insta picked ember mid (that was when bans etc weren't a thing yet) and kill stuff until the enemy ancient fell over.

t. SEA / slav / peruvian subhuman
He's saying after 6 months of work he's made enough money to go full neet for then entirety of next year
perhaps stick to forums that use your disgusting tribal mother tongue? Clearly english is too difficult for you.
>>184127895
>Cr1t is WAY better than Zai
Lmao, not even close, I have nothing against Cr1t but Zai is like top-3 tier support in the world skill wise.
Post predictions, please.
are there even any support players from NA
>>184134894
So i did understand it right, he claimed there was a typo tho so i guess ur wrong witj what he said, anyhow unless he is a senior software developer i call bullshit. Office jobs dont pay that amazing unless he had no bills to pay and lives with his mommy.
>>184135086
the only good NA native supports tjat still playu are aui
and
that's about it
>>184135083
DC vs EG grand finals
>>184134975
GH Jerax and Cr1t are all better than him, he peaked in 2014/2015, people don't even watch the game they just sort of remember that he used to be good and just repeat memes because he's attractive
>>184135198
>Canada
i'll repeat
are there even any support players from NA
>>184135317

Canada is NA you stupid fuck, just say America if you're looking to stir a "LOL MCDONALDS IN FLAMES" response
>>184135462
>>184135376
Oh I get it, so Canada counts as NA, but anytime VP wins a LAN it's HAHAHA BLASTED YUROKEKS
>>184135376

Nah I'd say it's about the same now
t. Quebec you fucks

Software developer indeed, not a senior but still manage to find a job for the goverment of my country. I live with my gf and I have bills to pay, and living as I am now, it is enough for me to live the whole year without worrying as I do now. That, or buy me a car and get another job in January

>>184135738
Americans are still in their eternal orgasm after ppd won a TI so what
I don't discredit ppd because he's a great player and watching his time as the captain of EG was incredible. But him and Fear are quite literally the only good players America ever had, maybe mason as well.
>>184135136
Not that guy but most corporations I know give their software engineers a 6 month temp position, then renew it if he doesn't fuck around. The pay is usually the same as a permanent position but prorated from the time you start work.
Something tells me you never got that far in corporate jobs.
>>184135961
some jordanian slut that dumped her bf to fuck RTZ's cock at TI6

? she was with Justin that guy who used to play on CoL and she dumped him right before TI so she could fuck RTZ, this is common knowledge
>>184132023
forced itemization happens every other game you retard, if you can't see it then its because ur bad
>>184136389
No, I am a slav. Europe is not one bloc you faggot. Even if you split it into E vs W there is still divides.
>>184136132

Hopeful that i might one day too see his skill level.
>>184137458
DC has never won an elimination game at a LAN. Don't get me wrong, I like the players, but the team is less than the sum of its parts and honestly pretty terrible.

Use your treants to prevent pulls and to draw aggro. NP is so easy to lane with, but falls off if you don't itemize right
>have 0 quest skins unlocked

I will never get these skins, will I?

is it good idea to do it or not?
>ideal dotard doesn't even play dota
>>184140338
Yes okay but regardless
>>184140236
Amazing for od and silencer otherwise only really a super late game thing or if you need to catch an am or the like really badly
>>184139770
From experience the people who quit like that saw huge money relatively guaranteed after education and just jumped on the band wagon. I've seen so people having to wipe an old man's butt for the first time then quit the next day. Pretty humorous
>>184140478
Depends on the game. If they have hard lane supports, yeah it could be best

If your team doesn't have lockdown he's shit. Lich is like a worse treant, only difference is Lich arguably is better early-mid game but treant is much stronger late and is a better ganker.

PLEASE DON'T EVER, EVER PICK RUBICK IN RANKED
Returning from hiatus. My favorite hero to play is Morphling. Is Morphling good right now in any way? I would be carry morphling or offlane stun oflane morphling if it's good. I would play anything as long as it's good. I just like water man.

It is, but also depends of your work itself and the people who is around you. For example Im a software developer, but I work in a place sorrounded by lawyers who doesnt understand how computers and that stuff work, just the basic Word, Excel, etc. So I spend half of those hurs shitposting in 4chan or watching some videos if I can, since nobody understand what I do nobody tells me nothing and I just pretend Im coding.

how to leave 2k and get to 3k. I play mostly pudge for fun and anti-mage/axe/mirana/tiny/lifestealer if im looking to win games. What are some tips (beside getting good) that im obviously missing to get better?
Like I know I'm shit and need to improve, but when you've been surrounded by shit your whole life its to realise how to get better.
/pol/ needs to get back to their cesspool of a containment board
>>184148815
looks comfy
>>184151794
Get online and never stop pushing
Pick clinkz or underlord and overpower and kill towers by 25
>>184151794
are you trying to be a pro player or something? why does it matter what mmr you're at?
if you haven't made it to 3k by now then you're exactly where you belong.
>>184151794
Focus on small things that you can improve over time. Pick a role, then 3-4 heroes that you're confident to spam. Watch high level replays/live on that role/heroes you've chosen. You can get to 3k, even 4k easy just by improving your mechanical skills desu

>>184152125
no i just really enjoy this game and want to get better, also my theory is that if I get higher mmr I'll get to play with better people making it more fun enjoyable.
>>184152157
thanks man i guess ill spam more then but what about in cases of counterpicking where the counter isn't my select few heros?
>>184152115
cool thanks
>>184151794
https://youtu.be/W_uI6QEGz6c
there types of videos are usually a memes but this one is decent if you dont hate his accent too much (skip to 9:50) and its mostly up to date
tldw: pick good carries that don't rely on having supports babysit them too much (sven is still pretty much perfect hero for this)

>>184152915
while offlane Lich/kotl is 100% fun allowed, there's no lockdown. His complaint was a lack of lockdown makes Lich useless.
Dark Seer would be a good pick with Lich. He may be more of a safelaner, but once you both hit level 6, the enemy safelane will be unwinnable

How to get all of your bet points always succeed like I did -
1. Only bet if your ENTIRE TEAM speaks english. Do not bet anyway under any circumstances.
2. Only bet if your ENTIRE TEAM is above level 50. Do not bet otherwise, unless the entire enemy team is level 20 or under.
3. Only bet if the enemy team has 4/5 of their teammates are under level 30.
4. Never bet if anyone is trash talking before the game starts
BOOM. You now have an ez FREE 35+ battlepass levels.

>>184132498
ok ill give you the full guide:
>Offlane
Go treads, wand, solar crest, and dagger, in that order. 4-2-0-1 then 4-2-4-1. Talents: +35 damage, +snowball damage, the rest is up to you.
Use ice shards like fissure and control the lane. Ice shards are spammable, use them, but if you only have one shot due to position, prioritize block rather than just damage and/or "block him but he just goes around the shards".
Don't snowball because you can, use it when you actually need it. No, snowball in to initiate it's not an actually need unless he has an escape.
>Supp
Treads or arcane (depending on if they have mana burn or not), urn, dagger. The rest is up to you. Talents: %+40 exp, +snowball, the rest is up to you.
Same tips as above. Nothing change much other than starting items.
Just according to keikaku

>>184167149
Why not just play TA? Also Sniper is very obnoxious at all stages of the game because you can't phase shift his continuous long range damage. Dragon Knight can be annoying because his nuke is almost impossible to predict. Lina and QoP can beat an inferior Puck player by baiting out phase shift with animation canceling.

TA is the only "hard" counter. The lane dominator mid circle is Puck > QoP > TA > Puck. SF does well against all 3 if you get a good block and don't get solo killed, once you get 5/7 you just outfarm them with razes, but if you get a shit block they're just going to farm while zone you with a easy solo kill threat. DK just sits there and farm, puck can't harass you with right click.

>Today’s update also introduces a feature that matches new players against players with consistently high behavior scores.
so i'm just gonna avoid dota while this blow over.
>>184168951
Basically, it sounds like newbies are going to be matched against nice shitters (well, "nice" because having a high behavior score doesn't even mean you're a nice player, it mainly means you don't leave games). Except the shitters are still going to have a massive knowledge advantage and probably win more on average, which is going to make the newbies feel a bit hopeless.
Something they should have considered is making the report system a lot more sensitive for new players, so assholes get low prio-ed early and don't ruin the experience for too many new players.
Limiting the heroes to a tiny pool for 12 to 25 hours is also stupid if there isn't an option to opt out of it. It's basically enforcing limited heroes, and I suspect it's going to have a lot of the boring as shit heroes like Viper which probably repulse people from the game because they end up thinking that's all there is to the hero design in Dota.
They're treating newbies like idiots again, and it clashes with my personal experience. I came extremely close to introducing several people with LoL experience to Dota, but they all dropped it because the tutorial was being pushed on them (back in pre-reborn Dota 2, although I don't actually know if the tutorial was mandatory or if it just looked that way)

>>184172727
Dude I was calibrated to 3.7k mmr after playing my ten ranked games, after ~300 normal games, back in 2014. I'm not particularly good at the game and my method for learning it was playing solo normal games and randoming. Still, there is no way I ever was below 2k normal mmr, because from what I've seen of 1k or even 2k mmr skill level, if you're there after your first 25 games (which are going to exclusively contain newbies in the new system) you don't just have a massive lack of knowledge of the game's basics, but you also have terrible execution and strategy, which is not the case for every new player.

start using your reports conservatively
use them on people you're almost certain you'll get your returns on (flaming, feeding and destroying items) instead of using it on the average russian dick who never gets reported anyway
alternatively, if there's only one russian dick on your team you can attempt to rally the rest of your team into reporting him

Time cannot be wasted, only spent. If you spend your entire life working and amassing a great fortune will your death be avoided?
The only reason to have money is to spend it on things that bring enjoyment to your life. If you enjoy playing dota then it is just as valuable a use of time as working.

hey guys I'm a professional csgo player (currently on a break).
what are the best heroes to get into dota, I don't intend to get serious about it but really want to know what all the fuss is about (this major prize pool is INSANE). I've checked some guides but they're all pretty outdated (map doesn't even look the same)
I played wc3 and wow if that's relevant at all.
thanks!
>>184179878
Investmentwise speaking did the previous collector's Aegis replica sell for how much it cost to level up and get it?
Since there are two collector's items it might actually be worth forking out with reselling in mind because you can get all the virtual rares which have value too.

DK.
>>184184140
its funny that you say that. the carry role has the responsibility to provide damage to the teamfight and building sieges, and to have items at a decent timing to fulfill the role, but overall i would say support is more important/more responsible because supports often decide the laning phase and how fights end up.
carry is one of the easier roles imo.

7.00 was garbage and changed the game too much for me to keep playing (I started playing in like, late 2011ish). Reborn forced me to upgrade my rig (not a bad idea anyway, it was getting old), but at least that was just launcher and some menu UI stuff
It's pretty fun a lot of the time. You hear some of the stupidest ahut come out of people's mouths though. I wake up at 6 and get to my shop at around 7, with Alex (an employee and a friend now) usually beating me there and Sarah getting there at around 7:30. We make our fresh stuff and we open at 10, or 10:30 on Saturdays (closed on Sundays).
My best product imo are my eclairs.
Macrons are shit and I hate making and eating them. They're expensive because they look pretty, that's pretty much it.

>>184188285
Yeah and you got to do stuff like teleporting around the map and dragging an ally with you, which implied that there was some cool shit to do in the game.
Instead you could have ended up playing Viper who has a total of two active skills, one of them an auto-attack modifier.
>>184187945
Uh are you using too much water? Your dough should be like a mass of somewhat soft butter.

>>184188409

>>184190389

objectively yes, but not anymore mana regen things and you probably take the magic resist over the int as well unless they have like no magic damage
>>184190389
cause he has 800hp at lvl 10
>>184188635
hm might ne, i have trouble handling my dough, I'll definitely use more butter than the internet says so
other questions if you don't mind,
should I chill the dough in the fridge before kneading and baking? I've heard it's common practice for puff pastry
is a 200°C oven too hot?
>>184190389
because he dies to 2 support smoke.

>come to /d2g/ to shitpost
>end up learning some stuff abut the bakery business
Uh dotards?
>>184191020
>kneading puff pastry
I suggest you look up a puff pastry guide. The whole point is to make hundreds of layers of dough and butter so your pastry is flakey. kneading will destroy the entire process. You chill it in the fridge between folding and rolling it so the butter doesn't melt.
>>184191785
that was bad english actually, I mean folding and rolling, thanks!
>>184191020
>kneading
>puff pastry
my man. the entire point of puff pastry is all the layers and little air bubbles so it's super light and fluffy. kneading deletes all of that
>>184191663
gee a hero is strong against certain types of damage, bet you think AM/Huskar are OP too?
>>184191020
Wait why are you kneeding puff pastry dough? My man, that is not what you are supposed to do with that
>>184191663
well I guess you just have to draft a couple stuns or a silence.
Doesn't make it imbalanced though
>>184192157
>huskar
>immune to magic damage
not really
>>184192004
No problem. Another thing to be mindful of is the heat. If its too hot in your kitchen then your puff pastry will not end well. You may accidentally make some nice buttery biscuits at least.

>>184191020
In my shop I have my croissant oven set to 375°, but you also have to make sure that the air outside the oven isn't too hot or when you get them out to cool they won't settle right. Yes, chilling the spin is common, and I do it too.

Play a few more games and you'll see there's little to no difference between cs and dota. You'll end up a jaded assholee either way. Dota just hurts more because you can't 1v5 clutch, you have a sh*tload more to learn, and instead of feeding money once per round, your teammates can feed both dosh and experience once every 10-60 seconds.
Hell is other people, regardless of how you interact with them.

I've always wanted to be Tresdin's squire. I always enjoy fantasizing about entering the fountain with her after a long battle and slowly removing her armor, starting at the helmet and making my way down to her boots. The embarrassment I feel doing this in front of other female heroes only adds to the allure of the situation. She sits down on a stool and commands me to kneel down and remove her boots one at a time. "Is that a boner?" Rylai says. Akasha licks her lips, Rylai giggles, and Shendelzare glares at me. I try to cover it up out of embarrassment, but Tresdin kicks my hands away. "You haven't finished yet." I don't understand because I had already removed her armor, but after she gives me a look I realize that she wants me to remove her shoes as well. I take off her shoes and reveal her gorgeous feet, surprisingly soft despite her being a strong warrior, and extremely sweaty. "Lick the sweat off my feet, squire," she commands me. I hesitate for a moment and look over to the other girls. They all start giggling at me and whispering. Then I feel Tresdin's foot forced into my mouth with the other one covering my nose. The smell and taste of her sweaty feet causes my raging boner to grow even more. "Alright, squire, stand up and remove your clothes." Although embarrassed, I take all my clothes off. Suddenly I feel my position swapped with that of Shendelzare. Now I'm lying beneath Akasha and Rylai, who had both taken their boots off, and were pressing their feet against my member. "No," Tresdin said, "He's mine." She runs over and gets on top of me. It's only now that I realize that she's holding Aghanim's Scepter, and I understand that nobody will be able to interfere with us. Her technique gets more and more intense until I am unable to hold back. I cum inside her pussy with the force of a hundred megacreeps. She gets off of me, and as I lay there quivering in pleasure she gets dressed and begins to chuckle. "Only 9 inches? Pathetic."

Wow

>20 heroes
le official free mmr men list
>>184196984
Nope. The hero roster is easy to play but several of these are really boring to play or annoying to play against. Also, a high behavior score means fucking nothing because the main factor that affects it is abandoning games (and you can be an asshole while never abandoning), and commends and reports are given out by players almost without rhyme or reason.
>>184196984
the only reason dota is doing this is because the game is BLEEDING players.
the player in-game count has been the lowest this month in years.

IF THESE HEROES WERE REMOVED FROM THE GAMEjust...
>>184196984
>this was the best Valve could come up with after 1 year and 60 million dollars
>>184196984
Yep, I'm done after TI
>>184196984
its been growing every year, the prize pool has been surpassing each other every year
>>184196984
That's not a half bad list desu
>>184196984
>Clinkz
Surprised they didn't have a carry like Drow or CK instead. You need to know which are the large creeps with Clinkz, plus you have to clear out the camp yourself afterwards if you want more large creeps to spawn.
>>184197601
Yeah. We're down to summer 2014 numbers and that's quite something.
Anyway, the new player experience, along with how to teach the game's mechanics, is something they needed to look at for a long time now, and it's not a trivial problem. This isn't a good solution though.
>>184196984
What the fuck is this?
>>184198306
Clinkz was probably intended as a more complex hero to help transition lolbabs from the one click wonders like WK to more complex heroes
>less than 1 week until TI
>no trove caraffe
????
>>184198316
all valve games need better bots. Getting QIIIA level AI would solve 90% of the problems we've got with newer players. And something like what Paladins did where you're secretly fighting bots until a certian level or number of matches
Yeah, I think after TI I'm done with this game. The frog went tlo far down the shithole for me to want to play anymore.
>>184198961
>starcucks false flagging this hard
>>184196984
i would not be playing this game if it weren't for broodmother wtf valve
>>184199207
If you believe hard enough you'll manage to meme away the 15% player drop!
>>184199207
>thinking this is some sc2cuck
>not seeing that the froggie is killing the game
>>184199626
Honestly, after reading a bunch of 2010 interviews with Icefrog, 7.00 looks nothing like his design philosophy.
>>184196984
isn't this pretty much the bot hero pool?
>>184198291
>want an immortal
>cant buy it on market
>proceed to buy compendium
>immortal is behind a treasure aka gacha
>proceed to buy more levels if you cant get the immortal
>>184195821
yeah but clutches aren't something you can rely on, neither is spot on accuracy; this is why even though some people hack you still see the same people at the top of ESEA.

you guys what if rubick wins
it will literally be shitty rubicks every match, at least pudge winning won't be any different from normal

You know, I feel like people can change their ideas on a subject like dota in that time
>>184200023
i rather have a shitty rubick than a shitty pudge
>>184199783
Remember when TF2 had a design philosophy
>>184199783
I noticed that its not icefrog working on dota anymore after some patches last or two years ago, the way patches were written, explained stuff, the reasonings behind it, the way tooltips were shown and similar
>>184200449
No?
>>184200647
me neither
>>184200048
Because he seems to understand the importance of carefully introducing new mechanics into a game. Basically, he understands the risk of player alienation, which is 7.00's key failing, no matter how you feel about the changes themselves.
Here, read them for yourselves (shit, dead forum but who cares, the interviews themselves are worth a read): https://playdota.com/threads/icefrog-interviews.1681/
>>184200104
Maybe he did, obviously I don't know the man (although he's clearly passionate and dedicated to the game and its playerbase so I have doubts about that). Maybe it would be more accurate to say that it looks nothing like the design philosophy that made Dota 2 the massive success it was.
>>184200449
TF2 always had a bunch of clowny design decisions though.
>>184200868
you would call dota 2 a "massive success" in 2010?
>>184201180
I used DotA and Dota 2 interchangeably here. And yeah, since according to the 4th interview, DotA's playerbase in 2010 was between 7 and 11 million players, without counting China (which amounted to 40-50% of the total playerbase).
>>184200868

Hey newfag what's up. Icefrog has been tossing the tea table since you were just a cum stain.

Man you really can't read worth shit. That's on par for d2g though.

Wondering what the scene is now
>>184202109
You have to qualify to get a placing mr oppa
>>184202090
whats your mmr?
At what MMR do people start remembering that as Oracle, I am capable of deleting them if they get to anywhere near critical health at the start of the match?
>>184202401
DELET THIS
>>184202489
4kish was when I started seeing it
>>184202624
Well shit, guess that means free lanes until the game dies.
>>184202376
Pls.
I just wanna see whatsup. I already wasted 1.2k hours lol
reminder that loda wanted navi to get disqualified because they fountain hooked chinks
>tfw nobody to play with
I have no idea how to make friends in this game.
Everyone I play with doesn't even speak English.
>>184203189
its ok. i've added people after great games and i barely remember what they did a couple of weeks later. you need irl friends desu
>>184202672
>until the game dies
Soon unfortunately
>>184203318
(That was the joke.)
when will eg kick rtz
>>184203385
After TI
>>184203257
How the fuck do you make friends in Alaska? Noone even knows what a game is, here.
>>184198532
what the fuck is that real
>>184203465
I had friends in India mate. Try going to a gaming cyber cafe I've heard that helps
Reminder that Valve has confirmed that a low priority within ranked match making exists, aka "behavior score" exists, so unless you have never said a word in chat there's literally no point in playing this game because you're forever stuck in the black hole of intentional feeders and people who build Eblade on carry jugg
>>184203938
my behaviour score is 9k, I flame when I have to, especially if i hear a fucking leb on mic, and I abandon once in a while.
>>184203938
i regularly call people who feed subhumans niggers, what's my behavior score
>>184204206
I regularly call South Americans who can't speak English in US West servers sub-human jungle monkeys so the same as me probably
>>184204206
>>184204254
Stop bullying them anons, treat them like you wanna be treated.
>>184203938
Or maybe you could stop being a raging autistic manbaby and don't spend all your time calling everyone a nigger.
>>184204589
If I treated sub-humans how I wanted to be treated I would be vegan
>>184204641
Are you implying that you would eat South Americans?
Having played SEA i reckon its fine to scream but if you destroy items and feed u a little bitch idc if u flame so long as u try hard as fuck
>>184204690
Maybe if they weren't so unbelievably filthy and disgusting animals.
>>184204742
Wouldn't cannibalism make YOU the subhuman?
Where the fuck is the lockless luckvase and the trove carafe
????????????????????????
>>184204905
Idk how being a cannibal makes you a sub-human by default
And plus it's not cannibalism if they aren't the same species as me.
>>184204603
but then how would intentional feeders know they're doing something wrong ?
Low 4ks are so fucking bad and fucking cancer. Just played with 3 downie morons. Told them they're fucking trash. I wait 40 min so i can avoid these retards, and 1 of them somehow gets placed in my game, in the same fucking team. Ofc he picks jungle Alch and does nothing all game, but feeds and afk farm.
And ofc all these retards don't make their data public.
