What's up with the community today? (Griefers) in General Discussion
Trodlabundin

    Well, I'm surely not the only one but I've played two games today, in the first game there was a Silencer taking his team-mates items which led us to go afk, in the second game there was an Axe who ran into enemy towers at lvl 1 over and over again just to feed. Which also led us to go afk.

    What can you do when people are like this? Ok, report them but how does it help when its thousands of people like this out there?

    I am so upset cause I can't play even though I stack with friends.

    What can Valve do to prevent such stuff? (Griefers)

    too upset,

      Try to stack, gotta love that low tier HELL right? Just wait a bit on the MM. I wouldn't worry until u had -10 lose streaks, followed by 10 win streaks. etc....

        not at all....

        I've decided to only lastpick and pick whatever the team needs, but after I decided to do so I've only met people like this...

              Yes, I'm at ESP teamspeak now :-)

              Just been quite busy practising with new hotkeys which led me not to participiate in inhouses. As dota was my first moba and I played counter strike for 10years before I tried I started with using wasd for camera, now I've switched to edge panning and stuff, anyway I'll be there at 8PM.

                You should Try the NA Open League. It's very hard tho and last time I check it was only Captain's mode. So yea alot of elite-wannabes tryhards woh are just slightly above average. A warning tho, they have 0 tolerance toward cussing and throwing. You have to download an app, the games are not counted like MM games. Lose 3-4 games and you'll be in the bottom ladder rankings. I think I'm 0-3 and already on the bottom 50 players out of 10,000.

                  Well I can't go to any NA server as I'm from Norway.

                    The problem with waiting to lastpick in terrible low MMR is that you'll inevitably have 4 carries, play the only support, and your carries will be the downsest of Downs kids and won't actually know how to last hit, skill their heroes, or carry.

                    You're better off slam-picking a solo mid that can carry the game by themselves (OD, Viper, Invoker, SS), screaming MID OR FEED, and proceeding to do that. It's SingSing's logic for MatchMaking: your random teammates are probably awful, so your best bet at succeeding is getting into a 1v1 setup. Keep in mind, the enemy can still counterpick your mid, so try and pick something that's hard to counterpick.

                    Alternatively, you can slam-pick your hero and then start to call out lanes, role requests, and things of that nature, and in general try to position yourself as the "captain" of the team. It's what I do most of the time, though periodically it ends with me offlaning with Kunkka while a Chinese weaver loses mid to an Ember Spirit.
