Yeah the drops to 100 or less are for very short times at least in my case. And always when I was in tight spots teamfight trying to concentrate on not dying so I never checked the live framerates.

It showed up in FRAPS after finishing the game though, I would never have realised otherwise.

i get 120fps with 1 gtxi 560 sli in borderless mode

So I just started playing this and I have a question. While playing my cpu is at about 10% load and gpu at 30% load (w/ vsync). My gpu doesn't even jump to 3d clocks... Does this sound right? Everything is maxed @ 1080 and it runs solid 60fps.

Yeah it does sound right.

Yay, played with a furion that did nothing but TPed onto the cliff in the enemy jungle to do the hard camp. 30 seconds of just standing there.

I was 0/4, got tower dove all 4 times, several times he was doing a camp right by my tower as I got dove, and they ran by him with 100 health and got away.

I don't think I've ever been so mad at a video game.

rubick is by far my favorite hero after a few games, last game a luna got a triple kill with ult, i stole it and wiped for them. Not to mention that if the ult cooldown is up u can use the skill, then use ur ult for another really quick. My buddy stole a pudge hook, hooked pudge then took his ult.

After 90 games in dota 2, I kind of realized that the road to being a good support in pubs is too hard in DOTA 2 (at least harder than war 3 DOTA)

too many beginners I literally don't know what to do, who to save, etc. The carries also get stupidly strong easily in pubs, much more starting HP and base damage, etc.

I LOVE going tidehunter, I almost always ult at the right time, but im so far 4-7 with him because a good lock down for 2 seconds doesn't mean my teammates can be good enough to get them. Loved going dark seer, but I'm having an even / negative record with him in dota 2. I play much much better with heros like drow, even void.

Feels like the pace of the game got faster and being a support has less impact in the game unless you are babysitting a carry hero controlled by a great player.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, in these pubs, I get wins much much easier if I play a hero that have more overall impact to the game, aka NOT support heros. Sometimes I'd rather prefer not having a battle record, so I can pick / random all I want, lose those games and not feel bad about it. Now, I just don't feel like going with heros that I want to play once in a while, but am not very confident on winning with it.
not trying to sound like a jerk here but um....if the game is running flawlessly why does it matter....

Absolutely lovely, visible rating system will be available this friday!

I hope you know that what your Furion was doing was a perfectly normal jungle strat. Quick level 2 so you can pop trees and do other hard camps, it allows you some easy gold without any penalty and sets you on your way to an eight minute midas, which is when you are supposed to have that item by. Letting you die might not have been great, but maybe he figured he could just get to late game and split push his way to victory. Regardless, some players are just *******s and don't like to help other people. Also there are no camps that are within five seconds of walking distance near a tower. If you're low and a hero is diving you the Furion should TP in and kill them, regardless of where they were previously.

Regarding skill levels in pubs, once you get over 400 wins, I have like 530 or something, you get a lot better players. Your other chance is to just queue for Captain's Mode, since pretty much everyone in the CM queue is either a five man or are looking for some srs bidness games, although I've gotten a few ****os who just pick whoever and don't care about the team. What I've noticed is that you can go about pubs two ways: you can random every game and take your chances with other carries, or you could just pick hard caries. Netherdrake, Ursa Warrior, Rajin, Magina, whatever, just pick a good hard carry and if your lane partner doesn't let you lane just farm jungle for 30 minutes and then go carry. I have been denied farm before by a BR Magnataur, and as Yunero, it's pretty easy to jungle with your healing ward, so I just went through jungle for 30 minutes and by then I had BF, Butterfly, Vlads, and phase boots. After our Rikimaru was helping our team keep up with the other team I went in and got an ultrakill in the first teamfight, and we proceeded to win. I think I was 10/0? Not too sure, I think I probably died a couple times early or in jungle cos' I'm bad.

You just gotta trust yourself or play with a five man.

Edit: In the Yunero match I was actually 16/0! Proof: https://dotabuff.com/matches/101334245
