That's why I only play bots to get a feel for a hero, or if I'm with people who are learning

Sorry about last night Trace - my internet went out .  I tried frantically rebooting my router so that I could get back in before the 5 minute mark, but it was down for the night.  I haven't checked yet but I assume I got stuck with a fucking Abandon.

Did you guys win?  Hated to leave you in the lurch.  We were pretty close to winning at that point though, so hoping you had no problems finishing it up man down.

[Trace]

It's cool Chimp, we paused hoping you'd come back but we felt bad for the other team and decided to play on 4v5. They decided to push top and we took advantage and pushed mid at the same time. Neither team left the push to defend their base and we pushed much faster for the win  8)

Good to hear!  I felt really badly.

And yes, I got the Abandon.  So pissed.  Hasn't seemed to affect my que times, thank God.

[zaneyard]

I don't think one abandon gives you leavers queue.

Yeah it'll tell you in the game finding screen if you're in leaver queue.

Cool. I figured once wasn't enough considering how many quitters I see playing pub matches, but was still worried.

Great games last night, had a blast.  Lag moaning about his lane was the best - he was a regular Eeyore last night.  Cracked me up.

Try laning as Tide or ES in a solo lane.

Axe, Kunkka, Beastmaster, Tiny, Pudge, Bloodseeker, oh god Bloodseeker, generally anyone who has a good DoT or ranged harass ability in addition to some tankiness.

Also, didn't include Razor even though he's technically melee because of his additional attack range. This isn't true it seems, even though Razor's animation is a melee attack. On a side note, Doom Bringer has a slightly longer range than a normal melee hero.

I just played a game where they all went rosh then all went mid. Lasted 12 minutes.

They all picked pushing heroes or ones that had early game advantage. It was nature's prophet, enigma, lone druid, venomancer and dazzle. No one on my team knew wtf was going on and we lost 2 towers by the time people got their shit together. Then our jugg thought it would be smart to push another lane, but you can't by yourself at low levels.

I remember when we tried that, and it went much less as planned but we still won in the end.

Except they all went mid from the beginning.

What rune page/talents do you use with him?  I just stack AP/level and pure damage talents for rapey wards.

I am actually useful to my team lately .  Lag would be so proud.  All his yelling had an effect.  Approaching 100 wins.

It's a real indicator of how good this game is that even though I finally have D3 in my sweaty little palms I'm still excited to intersperse D3 sessions with DOTA 2.
