Tis happened to me numerous times.
Either stack (at least game is enjoyable), or just step back and watch some more pro games. I find watching pro games tend to highlight the mistakes I make in the game with regards to grasping/controlling tempo, and decision making.
Tilting sucks though.

I'm honestly not quite sure what to do about dota anymore. I buy wards, cours, support and still have to try and carry a heavy team in addition to getting ping spammed by a feeding noob for not coordinating with his feeding. Shits just depressing when more often than not I'm playing a wonderful support game but team can't do shit.

Well given that team comp all we needed were big chronos followed up by sven ult, but team repeatedly took bad fights despite me giving directions on what to do and what not to do. :/
I've heard of ixdl but I heard the environment there's pretty toxic.

I'm a pretty carefree kind of guy so if I play support I just try and have as much fun as possible. If you win, bonus. ^^
Too many carries fighting for farm is worse. And you wouldn't be able to kill or live until you're fat because everyone needs items D:
Well there are a few who don't need a ton of farm. Viper with a mek and possibly aghs can be just as good teamwise for supporting. I have even seen an influx of support alch's recently in pro games even. Sometimes greedy is good as long as you balance it properly.
Or you can be the guy who instapicks the carry
I would've been useless in the first 10-20 mins of the game though, with no hope of controlling the flow of the game.
I would instapick carry more if I knew what the other team comp is. having a carry that sucks vs the other team makes for a very miserable and sad game.

Frostivus Yes, Grevilling No.
Oh gosh, what tier am I in... Have noobs feeding nonstop, have no clue what they are doing. (I am talking about my party MMR btw, I always stack with my friend.) Why is it when you get noobs who just suck the other team never has anyone of their same skill? Thanks balancing.
On a brighter note, I finished some concepts for a Beastmaster set! I got a modelling software and I'm gonna try to shape it out soon.
You should queue with me

dont worry you had no effect on it, we talking about solo mmr.
My party MMR i think is around 4.2k or lower haha, wonder what itll be after calibration
as an aside, finally won a team MMR game earlier today, but apparently it didn't get counted because of server problems... fuck that had an awesome LC game too.

ISn't the purpose of rank match making is based on solo individual performances such as (last hits, denies, KDA etc)
It's not. Dota is about winning.
If stats were the case, no one would risk their lives to protect others when they should (support saving a carry or multiple teammates in exchange for their lives for example). Also it would encourage ks'ing and last-hitting heroes, at times letting enemy heroes get away because people were too selfish in wanting the hero kill.
No one cares about how well you played, only whether you win or not. Look at dendi in game 5 of the TI3 finals.

I used to love getting maelstrom --> SB. I think the current meta favors lothars before maelstrom though.
Also, I think there are things that MMR numbers don't say. I got the MMR for my smurf, and although it's only 200-300 lower than my main, the skill level between the two accounts differs greatly. Makes me wonder what really determines skill rating

If you're gonna build lothars just finish it. No point getting a shadow amulet then getting maelstrom.
As for builds, do NOT max greed IF your lane is not going smoothly. For example, if you have some retard who thought it was cool to pick jungle instead of a 2nd support, and they're offensive trilaning you, go for fighting build. You should always scale stun at lv1 though.
Also I discovered last night how fun it is to explode ppl as a support alchy, spray + medallion + stun can take off 70-80% hp for most heroes when you hit lv7.

Dusa is godly and the strongest carry (imo) that you can have once farmed up. The problem tends to be getting the farm on her, and surviving to late game in the first place. She;s quite susceptible to ganks in the first 15-20mins (depending on how fast you farm your items), and 5-man pushes can pin you to your highground pretty fast.

Luna is op
what's her item build
and I'm confused as to what I should be doing with HotD on a carry once I get it
PLEASE DO NOT GET HOTD FIRST ON LUNA LIKE A CERTAIN SOMEONE, LEADS TO VERY SAD GAMES *coughcough*
If you have it thoguh, stack ancients (BUT BE CAREFUL OF STACKING ANCIENTS AGAINST A TEAM THAT HAS TINKER AND URSA TROLOLOLANYE)
My luna build is basi (sometimes you upgrade to aquila for the extra early-mid game dmg, but I tend not to) --> boots (i like phase, most get treads) --> drums --> bkb --> luxury based on game (manta, mkb, satanic, bfly etc)

I like this post. Cause it assumes competent players at all.
I havn't seen a tri lane in anywhere other then cap's in like...... ever.
dual lanes are actually so strong this patch, but most players are still stuck in the old meta. My games consist of mostly trilanes, with rotating (smoking if good) supports.
Played a duallane off as CM with BB yesterday, and got 8min blink and 19min sheep.
p.s. CM + BB lane is op as fuck

NOOOOOO DONT SKIP DRUMS IT GIVES YOU NICE DMG AND TANKABILITY
ESTABLISHING GOOD HABITS IS GOOD
I'VE ALREADY SHOWN LOLANYE THE LIGHT THAT IS DRUMS
Hell I never used to get drums because it was incredibly hard to find in dota1 and that I never saw anyone build it anyways, but once you start getting drums you'll love what it gives you (gives you a lil bit of everything, from hp to mana to agi to ms+as).

nooooooo needs no changing. I enjoy getting it on certain support heroes and he's already made it more expensive.

It does...
You guys wouldn't know how hard dota 1 was to learn, I got flamed hard in my first few games because I wasn't familiar with all the heroes (so you don't know what your opponents did), though I did run into a few who were willing to tell me what to get etc.
