General Discussions / Tribute to the #1 Player - vectra17

« on: November 22, 2010, 21:37 »

Me and my friend Dziros just joined a game hosted by a player named vectra17 (which is currently #1 on the ladder). He was constantly swaping us top as we tried to play against him. He wispers to us "sd me retards" by which he ment "I am pro come to me for a win". We always play scourge and we wanted to play agains him.
He asked us to chose: play with him or out.
I know there is a lot of people doing that but for top place on the ladder mr vectra17 is simply rediculus and silly noob. Refering to hes words "sd me retard" i will simply comment: making your stats on noobs is just retarded. Second thing if you want to be recognized in the community as pro - play all pro games not pro vs noob games. Your actions will only make you recognized as "patetic pro wannabe" :>

Here are some examples of games he played recently:

PS. Can we do something against people like that? Top 50 should be filled with decent players not people like mr vectra17.

General Discussions / Courier share issue

« on: April 16, 2010, 23:36 »

I don't know about other players but I'm using courier very often
to send mana and healing potions as well as refilling bottle.
Its a great advantage cause you can stay in fight with no loss on experience and creeps.
I often play with a friend of maine and he also using it often. For just us two - courier is busy most of the time, so I'm not sharing it with noone else.
If I'm playing public game alone, I often say at beginning: "I can give share if someone make bird".
Usually I get response: "I'll make bird" so I'm giving share to him.
If noone responds I'm saying: "just don't ask later".

I'm loosing 200 gold at beginning so I have poor start items,
later I'm making bird ASAP and people DEMAND share!
Is my name Santa Klaus?

I do understand that in professional Dota games like the ones played on www.gosugamers.net/dota there is a rule
that one (support) person buy chicken, bird, wards and give share to whole team. On playdota.eu however it is not the case.

I've lost count of how many times my courier died cause someone send him under enemy tower or heroes.
But the worst of all things is that people control your hero! Its happening to me that often that it's almost ridiculous!
And I'm sharing it only with one person... Can't imagine sharing it with whole team.
I get vote kicked few times for not sharing the bird! sick!

If I make a courier it is only My decision whether I want to share it or not.
But greedy players demand it for free even at late stage of the game when 200 gold is practically no money.

General Discussions / !voteowner (in-game command suggestion)

« on: April 16, 2010, 18:59 »

There is a lot of people that are abusing host privileges.
Here's an example of a game I've played recently:

There was one action in early game in witch host and myself get ganked.
Host was dead for 100% so I fleed. He accused me of being meganoob.
He said: "if you stayed, we would kill one of them". Yes! We would but I would die too.
He started to spam chat: "you are noob" etc.
I thought of one solution... switching with a Scourge player
Host gave !no
I said: "If I'm such a noob for you why not let me play against you?"
another switch attempt from my side and again host- !no
I've called him "sad kid".
He muted me...
He had my bird shared so I've took the share away.
he unmuted me and wanted share back.
I didn't gave the share back so he muted me again and started calling me names again.
People in my team wanted him to shut up but he continued.
Again I wanted to switch witch Scourge player (all players wanted me to switch)... he voted !no
We won eventually but he did everything he could to get me killed and didn't play tp with me.

My point is that very often games are hosted by rule breaking and not responsible people.
I'm suggesting one command would be very helpful: !voteowner to change host in game.

General Discussions / The "Curse" of having good stats

« on: April 16, 2010, 17:23 »

I'm sure players with good stats faced similar situations like posted here.
Here the story: I'm connecting to playdota.eu game
named: "rdso/eu/godlikes only!".
Sentinel team was full so I was on the Scourge side.
Host did !sd on me and kicked me from the game
I think he forgot to mention in gn: "Sentinel Godlikes only!"

After I get kicked I've connected to another ("pro only") game and similar event occured.
Again Sentinel was full so i was on the Scourge side...
I'm checking stats...2 players from my team didn't  play any games in this season.
Ive said to host !open 6 8 or i quit....
Someone on Sentinel side (not host) said: "leave than"
Host checked my stats and switch me to hes team.
I left instantly.
These kind of things happening to me (and im sure not to me only) quite often.

My point is that a lot of the people that hosting games on playdota.eu
are not hosting interesting, balanced games. They just want to boost their stats.
That's why so many games often end in mid-game on level 10-15. Where is the fun in that?
