[QUOTE=Suttles;37904229]why is it when i play with a group of friends we do horrible
when all alone my team does fine
The formula seems to be
More friends = less chance of winning
Less friends = More chance of winning[/QUOTE]i'm not sure, but perhaps when you play with friends you get matched against other groups?
or is that not how things work? i dunno yet.

2 is the perfect number for me, whenever I play premades someone holds us back/I don't really seem to get better but when I soloq I get better at the game but usually have less fun. 2 people is enough to be able to get better at the game, have at least 1 decent teammate, and have fun.
[QUOTE=mixshifter;37903906]Trying to get back into this game, haven't played since the beta was still relatively new. Tidehunter is loads of fun. Any other heroes that play like him?[/QUOTE]
try initiation heroes like sand king, treant, magnataur, clockwerk, earthshaker, etc.

It's because the matching making assumes that as the number of people in your party increases, the amount of team communication increases. Both teams may be about equally skilled but if one team is all in skype talking about their moves they will easily dominate.

You get matched against other "dudes and their friends" who might/probably are better/more communicative than you and your buds when in a stack. I have problems with this as well -_-
oh okay so i was right about that. :3

When I win I'm usually in a mumble with 2 others. 3 or less works fine
Over 3, sort of starts to cause clutter

stop playing with idiots
[QUOTE=xpod1;37904433]stop playing with idiots[/QUOTE]i can actually agree with you on this one. when i played a certain moba that this thread isn't about, i'd play with friends who were terrible. but i couldn't not play with them because that'd be rude of me. i don't want to tell off my own friends. :(
no more friends
im going to go find my inner self
Kind of sucks silencer is fun, but you NEED to communicate if one is on your team. Holy shit, I'm mainly saving the ult for their initiator, if you want me to use it and I'm no where near, you have to kind of tell me. I try to watch what my team is doing when I have a global ability, but with a 160 second cool down I don't want to waste it. It's also an amazing tool in general, during team fights.
I know people have posted in-game shots of the new icons but here are the new Axe, BM and Sniper icons individually.

BM's ultimate looks odd
All of them look extremely good, sniper especially.
Some of you guys may not agree with this but I personally think that alchy benefits greatly from getting a quelling blade for enhanced farm rather than a stout shield.

The hardest thing about silencer is really knowing when to use your ult, too early just delays the enemies initiation, too late and you miss blocking most of the big ultimates.
[QUOTE=Suttles;37904661]BM's ultimate looks odd[/QUOTE]
It looks very exploitable with Photoshop.

Either or. Stout Shield and Quelling Blade, while both used for laning, are there for different reasons. Besides, you could always buy whatever you didn't from the side shop while in the lane. I do it all the time with some heroes, especially Agility because you can just grab a PMS from the side shop.
What heroes are you guys hoping get updated icons next? I'm hoping Necrolyte, Dazzle, Pugna, Huskar, and maybe Alchemist eventually get new icons.

Playing Invoker, I feel like I don't know how to play Dota anymore.
I feel like I should fix this.
