My friend asked a Russian player why he was playing on our server. The Russian responded by saying their servers are filled with trolls, feeders, and leavers. There were virtually no good games to be had there.
Can someone explain to me why Brazilian and Russian people always play on US East?
They have their own servers. All they do is ruin games on US East with no English skills and terrible ping.

Odd, because when Russians play on USEast then by definition the game is full of a troll spamming a non American language.
The thing is, though, that at the very, very low skill games, there's no teamwork. There's no coordination. So if you spend time playing bot games and you know what you're doing, playing a support hero is wasted. Just play a carry and steal all the last hits and roflstomp your opponents. With the right carry, you can seriously just own the fuck out of their entire team if they're bad enough.
Honestly, I've only been playing for a few weeks. I was terrified to play my first pub game because everything I read was "You suck" and "You'll never be good at this game" and "Everyone will troll you because you suck so bad".
So I spent like 3 weeks playing bot games, learning a couple of heroes pretty well. I watched a bunch of videos and read a bunch of guides.
Then I did my first MM pub game. And played with people who didn't even bother getting boots. And I stomped them.
So now I'm not scared to play pub games anymore.

Ask any pro player. Playing support is harder than a carry. You've only got to worry about farming an not dying as a carry. As a support you have to roam, not get babysat, be lowerer level on average, ward, and buy items to support.That's because you had the knowledge of playing bots first. People jump in and play MM thinking they can either learn on the run or that they already know DOTA (I was the latter). New players will jump on MM, get stomped a few times, say this game sucks/too complicated, and move on.
This happens sometimes in any skill level. After a few days/week, the MM system should move to a more appropriate skill level. Don't get into the mindset that you have to play a carry or that playing support is ever wasted. This is actually what happens that ruins higher MM bracket games. Stereotypical guy who thinks he's too good for his team picks the 4th carry on the team because he's not wasting his "skill" playing support.
I personally think playing support is more difficult because it requires more from you.
I found a character I like pretty well (Axe) but still suck at the game overall. I don't understand why all those creatures are in the jungle...one of the many things I don't understand.

The main problem I have with the game is that matches takes forever, all games last 40 mins to an hour. My attention span is SHORT. I wish they would tweak the game to make matches last like 20-40 minutes..like increasing the experience gained, and make items cheaper or something. But, that's just me. They don't have to please me, they have to please Dota fans, which I am not.
The WC3 DOTA had -em, which was "easy mode." It increased the passive gold gain and xp gained from creeps (I think maybe the gold gotten from creeps, too, but I'm not sure). It ended up that by 25-30 minutes, everyone would be level 25, thus shortening the game.
Yeah that sounds more like my preferred game length
I wouldn't lane as Axe. The jungle is where he belongs and until you get good at pulling, stacking, and knowing which creeps you can easily defeat, I'd stick to not jungling.
Also, a 40 minute game isn't considered long in Dota. That is about average length. Those 80 minute games where one team turtles and refuses to lose are the long ones.

Started playing 10 days ago.
Noticed the game is loading my CPU & GPU way too much.
CPU Temps go from: 35°C idle.... up to 80+ playing the game. (according to core temp)
GPU temps go from 55 to 95. (GPU-Z sensors)
They have some serious optimizations/tweakings to do....
Are you guys having the same problem?
I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but DOTA2 actually occasionally freezes my PC, such that I need to do a hard reboot. Generally my gaming PC has been 100% stable otherwise, but it seems to lock up like that in DOTA 2 about once every couple dozen games. and nothing else. I even bitcoin mine, stressing the GPU to the max for days at a time and it remains perfectly stable, but somehow DOTA2 causes it to freeze.
Odd thing is it almost never happens in a game, but usually at the end when the scoreboard comes up or if I leave the game running in the menus.
Even still, it doesn't happen that often.
