Man for all their attempts to quell dota riot sure does like referencing it

It's referenced from Warcraft 3 DotA not DotA 2, quite a lot of stuff is referenced from the WC3 game

[xaritscin]

so after several defeats i was able to win a match with tryndamere, seems like it was a good idea to buy it, for now....

[Cthulhu]

Tryndamere's kind of a weird champ and takes a little getting used to if you're not playing against complete idiots.

It doesn't really matter if you die, in fact it kind of makes the game easier.  Once they take your tower they tend to start roaming and Trynd can farm extremely fast.  Once you have your Shiv, if the enemy top roams mid or (god help him) bot, you can easily take a tower, maybe two. 

Unless you're playing against complete idiots like I said before, Trynd is usually at his best when he's split pushing like a madman.  He can push extremely fast, very few champs can straight up 1v1 him at really any stage of the game, and any ill-timed attempts at pressing the 4v5 can lose inhibs and even nexus towers.

EDIT:  Well, my hot streak is completely fucked now.  I won so many games I unlocked the secret Replace Your Team With Tutorial Bots mode and I don't know how to turn it off.  Game after game of every lane but mine feeding as soon as the creeps reach the middle, ragequitters, and of course golds and plat 4queues on the other team without fail.

Sucks :C  I had a seven game winning streak followed immediately by a nine game winning streak, and now I'm on a three game losing streak.

Edit:  It looks like all my wins have pulled me into a higher MMR bracket than I'm really ready for.  I just played a game with a challenger and a few diamonds.

1. I didn't say Dota 2
2. Phone made it difficult to include the

Definitely implied, though. I don't think anyone* gives a damn about quelling WC3 DotA anymore.

* In sufficient numbers to matter.

[Cthulhu]

Now I'm on a losing streak threatening to outdo my winning streaks.  And when I think back I'm not actually sure how many of those games I really contributed a whole lot too.  I don't remember the last time I got fed or hard carried a game, I think I've been on stealth-tilt for weeks or something.

I think Valve might care a bit, heh.

[Frumple]

Nah. The reason no one cares about quelling WC3 dota is like half the dota playerbase at this point probably don't even know what the hell WC3 is. Crap engine DotA is functionally dead on a marketable playerbase level, s'far as I'm aware. Age has quelled it into the ground with the force of a thousand rutting goats.

And you'll manage a turnaround eventually 'thulhu. Or start queuing with competent people or something.

[Cthulhu]

Three leavers in a row.  I got ganked four fucking times, my lane was permanently camped.  I asked skarner for help and he kept farming the jungle.  Every single fucking game is like this.

I need to stop solo queuing, but I have to take care of something before I can start adding people.

[Flying Dice]

Every fucking time I play Veigar it's a mid Morgana and the jungler is a useless FF farmer who only comes into lane to take CS after the enemy jungler ganks.

[Frumple]

*vague wavings* Support veigar time now?

[Flying Dice]

That wouldn't change the probability of having to lane against Morgana. Nothing like a flat hard counter to your entire combo, eh?

[Frumple]

No other choice then, I guess. You must become the counter. Play Morgana.

[Skyrunner]

Laning against platinums is not fun at all.

[Jack_Bread]

I know that feeling. Also, hi Sky.
Playing against a support Vel'Koz was hell. He was really good with landing his Qs.
