I kind of agree, while not having the impressive 60% winrate i always maintained a possitve W/L ratio. I played suport most of the time until i got bored of losing, now i random and play whatever i get. I cant explain the feeling when you get a decent draft and go lane as a carry only to notice your support tought it was a good idea to pull without stacking, nuke the lasthits and get a culling blade, be it a noob, a troll, or some one that just "doesnt care" its the same, you are basically saying fuck this 4 guys i have with me, all that matters its that i can have a little more fun by fucking everyone else.
That's just how it is in pubs. It's a gigantic cesspit of trolls and people relatively casually playing the game. Sure they might *think* they know better but they really don't. Honestly they have no clue. I have no clue either. When I see my roaming Tinker roflstomp the enemy team, the mistake is me thinking I'm awesome. The correct answer is my enemies are unbelievably bad.
This is something everyone must come to terms with in Dota. We are all horrible at this game. Very few people are actually good at it and they number in the dozens. These people made this tradeoff by sacrificing almost the entirety of their lives to it. Playing 18 hours a day every single day. No social life beyond just your team. Nonexistent wages and terrible living conditions. I for one am glad I'm not good at the game since it means I have accomplished more than be fantastic at a videogame. I will never be able to pull off the crazy shit they do in The International but I don't want to.
Calling me an "asshole"? That seems a bit extreme. I'm not the guy berating others for having fun. I never flame others and I only do my own thing. I'm not the guy autoattacking creepwaves or getting his fantastic 300gpm as Antimage like
SOME people. I'm not the guy who hosts 5-man groups only to scream at everyone in voicechat and blame everyone but himself. I'm not the guy who casually invited his newbie friend only to flame and scream at him for being bad. I'm not the guy who flames people for building items deviant from the *standard* build. I'm not the guy who flames mid for not ganking. I'm just an entity that will help you win more often than not. From the other people's point of view I'm literally an enigma. Sometimes I pretend to be Russian or I roleplay the hero I'm playing, but that's about the extent of my in-game interaction. That and the mute button.
So yeah. I unashamedly have my own fun in the games. Don't get me wrong, I play to win every single game even if my strategy is nonsense, but I will never listen to rules dreamed up by people who think they know anything. This isn't LoL. There's no preconcieved metagame. I do whatever the hell I want. Statistics don't lie. I help my team win more often. If I'm on your team you are statistically more likely to win even if I pull out my roaming Gyrocopter. It's not a huge discrepancy, it's only a few percent. But clearly I'm doing something at least marginally right.
