I find it amusing that leoric in hots has a line something like "Skeleton King, not King of Skeletons. A subtle, but important, distinction."

Since Wraith King is, in fact, a king of skeletons. :v:

As an offlaner, I have to farm behavior score because low behavior 'support' retards still roam constantly and not only gently caress their offlane by abandoning them but then go gently caress the mid lane or something too. The lower skill despite their mmr, but higher behavior score players are at least spergy enough to support the offlane and win the lane. It's quite impossible to play offlane with low behavior right now and I find it hilarious. The old meta it was the perfect position to be since offlane heroes were so strong despite everything being against them. Nowadays, one 2k MMR support in a 6k MMR game sticking around in the safelane is often the difference between being able to dominate the lane or not even getting to level 4 in 10 minutes.

But don't ask your support to stay in the offlane, that'll earn you a report and give you more roaming BH retards =)

everyone who says they're going to roam inevitably ends up being a mirana who sits in the woods near safelane or mid and throws arrows which never hit anyone, and reaches level 5 at 25 minutes, or something similar

the best strategy for dealing with them is to attempt to go through the 5 stages of grief for your mmr in the 30 minutes it takes the other team to kill you so that by the time your ancient explodes you have already accepted death

i've also noticed the trend of supports leaving the offlane to roam, and of course they accomplish nothing 90% of the time. it happens when we're stomping too, it's like "welp i guess we are omega winning this lane but it's time to go say hi to mid for no reason". i usually tell people to stay if i feel like i really need the help but otherwise i let them do it just because i know talking to these people is usually pointless

but if i'm really upset, the thing i like to do is start roaming with them when they leave. i don't really do this with any other players except pudge pickers because i know they're going to stand in the trees exactly long enough to leech level 2 and then leave, and it's gotten so loving annoying that i'm about ready to give up on the game if they do it despite me telling them not to do it. basically i run around the map with them and try to convince my team that i'm just helping him roam.

anyway i don't know about having to farm behavior score though, i'm at 9.7k behavior score right now. the trick is to not flame your team

I played hon once, because my friend was writing an article about the new player experience in mobas. I picked the tree hero because everyone knows all you have to do as a tree hero is walk around and press buttons when people tell you. the 4 Brazilians on my team were initially concerned, but then walked me through how to play the tree hero in a very friendly way and we crushed the other team. that's my hon story

I met a programmer from S2 a while ago. He said the racism in person wasn't as overt at these famous chat logs, but Maliken made at least one observation about Oakland, CA that made him just hope he'd stop there and change subjects.

So apparently you can see exactly which games you got reported and for what with the following:

https://illuminate.dotasphere.com/


About 80% of the reports I get come from games with a BH or POTM support while I was against some trilane and I was behind for all midgame as a result. I even get reported in Turbo games for communication abuse despite never saying a word and winning the game. Kinda funny to see everything come together.

Either you have to whore for commends or you need to proactively commend teammates if you expect to get much movement. I usually have something for every single game, commends and reports simultaneously lol

I get reported in every game with a support BH and Potm... usually for feeding as I end up stuck against a trilane and get 0 farm, then the whole team blames me for the loss. Lovely system

i get commended in like half my games. my conduct summary has like 15 commends usually, sometimes more than that. the trick is to be quiet most of the time and focus on killing enemy heroes so that your team look "wow my offlane has a lot of kd". i also tell them to relax and not flame each other

averaging 33, but the 3 stack reports from the bh/potm and friends every handful of games negates literally all of that

Probably the #1 tip for gaming your behavior score is just learning not to stand out from your teammates. Maybe someone will get reported after the game but it won't be you.
