I had a 40 minute stomping just now -_-

EDIT: 20 minute mark, plus require all 5 (instead of majority) to surrender. Some matches just become a miserable 30 minute test of patience and sanity.

I'd say 4 out of 5, not unanimous, just to prevent that one guy (you know the one) from ruining everyone else's day.
 
Give a forfeit option (still requires team vote) when there's a high enough disparity in a certain team stat IE..

Team GPM and Team XP over 10K difference (arbitrary number)

or

Difference in kills and/or difference in towers up.

There should be enough data on just those categories alone at this point that shows when a game is pretty much unwinnable.
 
Usually I've built Leshrac for ganking, but I decided to play a couple games as a flat out pusher. Four minute towers are hilarious.
 
The idea of a surrender option sucks though because it would get rid of that odd incredible match where you do actually completely beat the odds and end up winning even though you should have lost a long time ago. My last match was like that, and people were calling GG 45 minutes in. At 60 minutes I almost single-handedly took out the entire enemy team and then marched in to their base (which had yet to be scratched) and took out their ancient while my ancient was seconds away from death. If there was a surrender option, that would have never happened.

BTW, is your avatar the love-child of Chie Satonaka and Shaggy Doo?
 


Which one do you think looks better? I thought the lighter pattern but my roommate convinced me to got with the darker one.
 
Treads, SnY, Morbid Mask, Butterfly, Daedalus.

Usually over by then.

I was playing a game today and I couldn't buy anything from the shop instead it only dragged the icons around, had to restart the game. Anyone got any ideas what happened?
 
Is rubik going to be added to captain's mode?

Probably not until all his quirks are worked out. He's still kinda buggy (i.e. stealing Spectre's dagger giving free cliff walking the rest of the game)

Common bug. Just gotta restart.

Thanks, wish I knew that when I was playing would have restarted right away and not when the creep wave spawned.

I'm only finally getting into DOTA 2 now, had the beta for a while, played a good four games today winning all of them.

I've got another question though, can you toggle passives on and off? Like can you turn Luna's Moon Glaive off?
 
No surrender before 20, needs 4/5 before 30 mins, 3/5 after.

I honestly don't see why people feel the need to make stomping games last longer than 20 minutes. I have fun when I win massively for a few minutes, but it gets boring quickly.
 
If they add a concede button, it should also take into account the current Gold and Exp lead. A lot of people love saying "GG" and AFKing late in the game after a single lost teamfight, even if they have an advantage, and that just ruins it for everyone.
 
Ugh the whole shop menu closing at the start of games is pretty annoying. Only happens when people get into the game or something?
 
Holy shit just had an insane game

match id: 23636069

We were doing good in the begining then PL got fat and started destroying us, we lost mid rax and then I think top rax, they had all t3 up. Then we had one huge push and took a rax, I was omni, ended up getting refresher so that helped a ton. Then our ancient was getting attacked by creeps and we ended up wiping while attacking their throne even though someone on our team wasnt hitting it >:(. Then we saved our ancient and pushed again and somehow won. 70 min game ugh
 
Rebound day, it would seem. Played a bunch of games with a mostly set team, we lost one game and then won 3-4 or so. 4 games below .500, parity shall be mine!
 
Played a game where Pudge denied himself 7 out of 11 deaths. Is there a trick to this bullshit, or is he just activating rot until he's dead and getting lucky? It kept happening even when we had lots of damage going out on him (3-4 man gank a few times, denied 2 of the 3).

Seems like a stupid mechanic. Never seen it happen more than once in a game until this one. Probably part of the reason we were underleveled too.

He just rots himself to death. Gotta time that last hit or finish him with nukes.
