    Had a match today as Kael'thas where our team was getting stomped in Haunted Mines and we were down a few levels. I got picked off late game (like really late, sixty-two second respawn timer), the golem was beating at our fort, so I chose that time to use the restroom because, well, I had to.

    When I got back the game was over (we lost), I saw the words "report him" in the chat, and the Sonya on my team whispered me, saying "Yep, I persuaded the team to report you for intentionally going AFK, have fun with that, idiot". I just whispered back that if it made them feel better, then go right ahead. Then I wished them luck on their next match, and added that there was no need to be so salty.

    another haunted mines team that was so shit it took the enemy 2 golems to win. 10 min game. hero league.

    Dragon Shire team who caps a shrine then rushes mid leaving it undefended so the enemy can take it. Enemey got every dragon knight.


    HL Infernal Shrines. My team chooses all single target heroes (except me) vs a team of entirely aoe heroes. And they are confused on why we lost.


    omg i actually won a Cursed Hollow game, and it was the most amazing ending. Chose murky this time and just pushed down top lane endlessly. At the end while the enemy was focused on me, my team got the boss. It took their core down to 2% before dying. I rezzed(had a full rez they found my egg), and I rushed the core. I said "mmrrggbbll" in chat as I ran in. Leoric and illidan came to stop me, Leoric used his grave ult. I used MArch of the Murlocs as I died. Watched as my legion stormed the core and finished it.

    And lets kill my good mood with a Sky Temple loss...im sick of these morons who choose aba on sky temple. Which means any time the enemy comes for our temple we have to run since all team fights are 4v5.


    Another 10 min haunted mines game because i get yet another group of morons who have no clue how to team fight, giving the enemy basically the entire mine every time.

    Okay I finally have one to share, a tank and 4 assassins on each team on battlefield of eternity, we were 2 forts down, they had all 4 left, we hit 20 and then pull it back and destroy all 4 forts and win in about 5 minutes.

    It was an absolute killfest, especially with Zeratul and Nova on each team it was just stealth kill after stealth kill.

    My first loss with Murky on Blackhearts bay. these idiots did not apply pressure anywhere on the map so I could push. No matter where I went there was always 4 who came for me.


    omfg why do people think nova can global someone at level 2? This freaking valla is yelling at me all game to "counter hammer" starting from level 3. i told the moron i cant kill hammer until i have ult or clone damage, she says "i play nova you dont know what your doing"..yeah when my damage of snipe, shot and auto attack only brings her to half health im doing something wrong. Lo and behold, i got ult and took Hammer out in 2 seconds.

    another cursed hollow loss. hero league. i was the only damage dealer. we had a healer, 2 tanks and lost vikings..what a shock. getting lost vikings equaled a loss. enemy had 1 tank 2 healers 2 dps. we killed no one. of course they blame me for the loss cause i was the only damage dealer and didnt kill anyone. so idk what im doing apparently. they literally spent the entire game blaming me.


    dragon shrine loss. get a duo queue healers who would rather run away than keep people alive so they have 0 deaths at the end of the game.

    infernal shrines loss. Chose Nova. Team begins bitching. Then they spend the game chasing after Leoric during shrines and saying i suck as they do it. I move myself to get around to the enemy valla or malf. they say im useless just riding around on my horse. spent all game verbally abusing me. They would stand at the shrine with 36 minions killed to the enemies less than 30, and focus the enemy ignoring the minions, die and let the enemy have the shrine. they got every punisher. im getting to the point that im only queuing for hero league because its faster than quick match now.

    Game after game after game after game after game it's always your "team" who sucks. In my experience, when someone blames loss after loss after loss dozens and dozens of times on everyone else, and takes no responsibility whatsoever for it...they're usually a very large part of why the team lost. Of course, you're no doubt the exception...

    Or it's just selection bias. Maybe he plays a lot of games, and only posts here the exceptionally bad ones.

    Doesn't really matter TBH. This thread's all about letting off steam and venting, and Pandragon is not calling out anyone in person so there's not really any harm done.

    Azmodan is a personal favourite of mine during Illidan free week. The respect you can instill after the first two times they try to take you... It's glorious.

    Sonya's my go-to on Illy week. So many mistakes made when they dive in and pop Eva only to have me rip off half their health with Q-W then spin in their face as they're going ohshitohshitohshit and running out

    ....cant believe the guy complains about complaining in a thread about complaints. like whaaaat



    that moment when your team is winning, then decides to pile up in a ball to get aoed by the enemy team... giving them the objective and the level advantage

    oh my god.

    Just had a match on the Tomb of the Spider Queen as Illidan, with AA/Dive hybrid build and The Hunt.

    Goddamn, but was it exhilarating zipping back and forth across the map taking out the enemy; bonus points to our Nazeebo landing his walls and trapping Hammer and Morales for easy pickings. Once I got the level 20 upgrade, I was Hunting all over the place. Other than getting taken down by the enemy Zeratul while turning in gems while my team was getting boss, I was unstoppable. (This was on a team with Nazeebo, Artanis, Raynor, and Kharazim.)

    The best part was right before their core went down and I used The Hunt on their Abathur, who was sitting just outside the safe zone. I don't think he knew what hit him XD

    BoE loss..idiots didnt group up at all. one of the immortals they just gave it to the enemy. Every other time they all just ran in 1 at a time and died.


    and roll into an infernal shrines loss. My team focused...no. they all attacked different targets every team fight. And our healer wasnt even healing. He was attacking the shrine minions..our healer..Kharazim, was attacking shrine minions. Twice i actually chased the entire enemy team away from the shrine and what did my team do? chase as well instead of doing the shrine.

    Guy chooses vikings..what a shock we lost.

    our team picked kaelthas in hero league, the enemy immediately grabbed butcher, I origionally intended to pick Nova but I picked Anub instead. cocooned butcher when he dived with furnace blast everytime when a team fight broke. man shutting down heroes is fun.

    Another Haunted Mines loss. As usual, my entire team goes into the mines and splits up. Letting the enemy pick them all off and win every objective. And the enemy got every single merc camp with their golem as well, every time. pretty much every game i get. The enemy goes for objectives, mine goes for kills and we always lose.


    finally a good game. we won. i played diablo..top siege, and hero damage..what? lol


    another infernal shrines loss. pretty much the same team i had earlier. enemy got almost every shrine. on the shrines we did get the idiots pushed too far and didnt retreat when needed and would die to the enemy rezzing.


    oh good. to add to the rest of the down syndrome systems in this game. my net goes out in hero league champ select after champs had been selected but before the game started. now i have leaver status. lost 3 ranks. 2 weeks of work wiped out because of my net dropping out..

    Am I completely in the wrong with this, because it made me sad in one of my games that my team kept insisting we attempt to get every single tribute, despite that every time we went for it, they would wipe out our entire team. Like, the tribute count was literally 0 and 0, we could of easily pushed to get towers and forts to try to catch up, but instead they'd rather fling their corpses at the enemy.

    The only tributes that really really really matter are 3rd tributes.

    If its a 1st or 2nd tribute, for either side, and your not in a good spot or you think you can get a fort or a boss up, don't push for it.

    You are not wrong, but generally it'd be best to try to get the team to man up, be careful and coordinate to capture the tribute than to simply cede it for a single fort at a time. Unlike pushing alongside a tribute, the enemy will still have their forts and minions fully operational, which means you are putting yourself at risk; all it takes is for a single enemy hero to come down and AoE your minions away and the towers will instantly repel you, and if the enemy team was smart they will just come down and finish you off before you make it back to your own gate. The advantage of the tribute is that your entire team - and your NPC forces - can advance to the enemy side of the map without hassle. Seasoned Marksman characters such as Raynor and Azmodan can take advantage of the situation and build up ridiculously high stacks within the 60 second no-contest period with which to annihilate the opposing team.

    I'd only ever skip tributes if I was absolutely confident that the entire team could make more progress risking our lives in a push without than throwing free kills at the enemy team over a 60 second window of opportunity that only appears once about every eight minutes.

    Many characters can brute down the towers and gate very quickly if left uncontested at Trib 1. Once that's done, it's a short jaunt in to quickly smash the fountain and then that lane is FIRMLY in your favour.

    Lane bullies like Zag, Azmo, Sonya etc can quite reliably clear waves without many of their minions dying right from level 1, which means the lane is constantly pushed and towers drained before trib. If the towers are out of ammo and a trib spawns on the other side of the map, you better believe the best possible thing for me to do is tear those buildings down. They have to either give up a person to keep me from going ham (thereby evening the teams at trib), or we're going to get a huge exp boost early game by soaking a wave AND taking towers.

    We will then (hopefully) be 7 at second trib, when they won't. That's when it's time to contest our advantage.

    nah your thought process is fair, the average player just cannot understand that there are other strategies besides "5 man deathball"
