The number of players in this game that have mental breakdowns over players not fighting losing battles is insane.
Should my McGinnis be pushing lane or should she zipline back for 30 seconds to participate in a fight happening right now? Should my Seven stop farming to help with a fight across the map? Should my Paige help me push tower after we win a mid game fight instead of stealing the enemy jungle camps?

I've been seeing more and more people bitching about someone taking their farm. It's impressive how short sighted people in my bracket can be, assuming matchmaking is placing me appropriately now.

I think it can be annoying if you are farming a lane solo, getting excited for a big pile of souls and the 0/5/2 kelvin sprints into your lane.

If the 4/3/6 Kelvin pops up in your lane, you need to shut your mouth when you're a 0/10/0 Haze.
 
I think the only time I get annoyed at teamfights not happening is when the economy's about even and the enemy team is deathballing down blue towards our T3s and people only start coming back once one of them goes down. It's one thing if one person stays behind to take a walker or T3s but it sucks to lose T3s and a shrine for a couple jungle camps.

Finally got the hang of bebop's hook ranges; pulling people well behind towers never gets old.

The brackets bias you on how well they think you've done with your particular hero historically. I get team chat and missing calls etc when playing good heroes, but my first-ever Paradox match involved a massive battle royale at the enemy T3s leaving everyone dead except our Infernus who sat there shooting at the (shielded) patron for 30 seconds while the rest of the team screamed at him to take out the shrines.
 
What is a braindead hero that I can still generally contribute with even though I'm bad?

Tired of these multiplayer games where I have to fucking white-knuckle my mouse and kb or else I feel like I'm 'failing' my buddies.

Mo & Krill without a doubt. Just make sure to communicate when you're gonna ult. Ping spam is usually good enough for people to catch on but a mic is always better.
Who you ult is pretty important too especially in late game team fights. Try and identify who on the enemy team is carrying and look for the ult on them.
Build spirit/tank. Core would look something like this:

Thank you, I only play with the guys on mic. This looks good haha, if I can at least CC someone important and not be feeding I'm happy👍
 
Curious who people's least-favorite heroes are. I don't mean in regards to 'this person sucks i can't play them' as much as who you absolutely do not want to see in your lane. Personally it's Grey Talon. Barely ever see a GT who's not extremely good at zoning.

Paige also, She's basically prediction mechanics : the hero. If you can reliably sense when your teammates are about to get nuked or where the enemies are going to be you can make an insane difference in any teamfight as long as you're willing to play safe and mitigate your squishiness somehow. Her dragons are amazing at clearing lanes quickly as well.

I've seen people run weird builds with her with split shot too but I have no idea how viable they are because she's such a ridiculous buffing/area denial monster that building direct damage seems like a waste.

I forgot to mention always go for tier 2 scorn first for the extra cd and dmg to hit mystic burst threshold (also imbue scorn with quicksilver). The heal is based on damage dealt so a single fat scorn during laning phase can take you from half to full hp. His crazy sustain makes laning phase so much smoother than a lot of other heroes. If you're worried about poke use burrow to go in and scorn and get back to cover.
Next get tier 2 ult for the duration.

Probably Kelvin atm. A good Kelvin is really hard to deal with.

Doorman, but that’s probably because I main Vyper.

His kit is very good at wasting stamina. The bell slows you down, the cart sends you back to your tower while the woods cost one stamina to leave. To Vyper stamina is everything and before upgrade 2 on 3 in short supply.

The moment my opening rounds -> bola -> tankbuster -> venom delete button combo comes online the redheaded fuck is my top priority.
 
Someone from the 33rd degree of masonry posted leaks. New patron for the amber hand, new UI elements and fonts and a new yamato composed of 99% pure hat.

Be careful about the date on this. His info is usually right but the date is always wrong.

Huh, so we're going to have asymmetric base layouts? That's kinda interesting. Not a fan of that yamato model though.

Meanwhile I think I got the single most teammate ever.

44 minute match. I have questions but i don't think there are answers.

Really hope that yama rework is fake or at least not the final version. She's supposed to be a yakuza-esque crime boss not a french musketeer. I've seen like 10+ fan concepts that look way better than this.

New amber hand patron and base are cool though. Looks like the sapphire flame patron's got some kind of jagged crown.

Infernus doesn't bug me that much because generally you can lock him down and squish him with 2 people. Wraith and Haze are way worse just due to the built-in escapes, I'd put Mina in that category but generally she dies before she can retreat if everyone nukes at once.

Personally having crawled up out of the dumpster tier into the slightly above dumpster tier my biggest bitch for lategame is Seven because of how stupidly effective it is for him to pop ult above anywhere a big teamfight is going on (especially in the pit with the weakened patron). Better hope someone's got an anvil and it's off cooldown and that the Seven didn't buy a refresher solely so he could do it again immediately after the anvil wore off.
