Sad but true. Over time this game has made me angrier and angrier, yet I still like playing it so much. The good thing is you can often get away with muting people because of the ability to ping etc...Oh man, this guy is too cute!
Too bad the Dota community is going to violate you
Best tip I can give you is mute the fuck out of everyone, and start gaining confidence in yourself by playing matches and winning experience...
Good luck and I hope you dont feel burnt out with all the douchebags hanging around!

No, they're yellow and lavender, respectively.
I don't think I could get 0 kills with Troll Warlord if I actively tried.

Is Slardar like a male naga?

Apparently 'Naga' isn't a race in the Dota 2 world, but Slithereen is.

See, I was wondering if like Slithreen was the name of the organization, the slithreen guard or whatever. Because Naga Siren's name is Slithice, and she's identified as "the naga siren" or whatever

Slark's bio mentions Slithereen, 'Deep Ones', and Meranths, but no Naga.
This was some good shit. Not quite Ep. 17, but nothing can really match that.
I don't see a mustache on her.

Thanks for the reply and yeah I know that there doesn't seem to be much difficulty difference between Drow and Sniper though what freaks me out the most is that my team is relying on me to hit running heroes with my ultimate and this imaginary pressure makes me freak out, panic and mess up. And alright I guess I can't do much more than to play regularly with my friends like I do. I actually don't mind the training my friends just seem to subconsciously expect me to be as good as them from the get go which is ridiculous given that they know I was always overwhelmed every time I played a active strategy game in the past. I'm good at strategy games like Chess, Yggdra Union, Advance Wars and Heroes of Might and Magic because they are turn-based and I can take my time and actually think. When things get hectic in RTS games though I hear "HELP! I need somebody! HELP! Anybody... HEEEELP!" playing in my head xD And thanks I will try my luck with Death Prophet too
Thanks, that makes me a bit more confident thanks
One thing I wish DOTA and LoL would have is the zoom and camera system out of Supreme Commander, I'm so used to just zoom-out and then zoom-in again that even after two weeks of practice playing with a actual mini-map is annoying but oh well 
Oh man, this guy is too cute!

Ehehe thanks? I guess... well don't worry I think I can handle a few douchebags
For example yesterday when I played with my friends again there was someone who did absolutely nothing worthwhile the first half of the match and then during the second half he started to boss everyone around over voice-chat. I was playing Sniper during this time and fired my ultimate at a fleeing hero in a team-fight, it didn't get him fully but yeah... about five seconds later while my ultimate was still in cooldown another hero ran which the guy promptly commented with "Sniper are you sleeping?" I was short of replying "Well excuse me that I have cooldowns good sir, and yes infact your playstyle during the first half did put me to sleep " But eventually I left it much like the saying "Don't feed the trolls!" I mean it's good that somebody takes control of the team and coordinates things but if you yell "WAIT FOR ME! PUSH MID MID MID MID!" only to idly stand at the bottom lane it's a wee bit ridiculous... So yeah muting might be a good thing yeah, thanks And really with my aforementioned childhood friend I'm so used to a ton of douchebaggery as there are only a handful of games were I'm a match for him like Pro Evolution Soccer, Gran Turismo, Dead or Alive and various other sports games. Oh and I did manage to win the one or other Supreme Commander match against him too simply by using the one or other nonsensical unorthodox tactic that he couldn't comply with
I guess my main problem is that I treat human-players with a ton of respect differently than bots and this paralyzes me somewhat. Mind you that I never actually understood the appeal of competition in any game. I rather play with others and have a fun game with them than to go "MWHAHAHA I DEFEATED YOU!!!!!1!" but I guess I'm pretty much alone with that mentally
Whenever I tell my friends this they usually go "But don't you want a challenge and thrill in life?!" Which I usually reply with "No thanks I like my life quietly and relaxed without much happening, just easygoing " Heck even in fighting games I usually play worse on purpose if I see that my opponent is struggling... Buut I guess I get a bit off-topic here... Oh and is there any chance of a Lina Inverse skin for Lina?

If you like dealing with overall strategy more, I'd suggest playing support. Since you don't have to worry so much about last hitting, it's all about getting your team setup more globally through your abilities (cc's/heals), babysitting your carry, providing vision (wards and mini map awareness since by nature you're able to look at the minimap more), and even bolstering your teammate's GPM through stacking neutral creeps etc...The thing about carry is that your priority is to farm as much as possible for as long as possible and generally avoiding the early action to farm.
NO! he is Indian, LOOK AT IT GO.
Xin the Ember Spirit will be Asian, also I'm pretty sure Storm Spirit is Asian in name and in hat.
Not Mexican?

What about his design is even remotely Mexican?
I don't get this either, apparently he's wearing a sombrero and mustaches automatically = mexican. He's always been a large jolly asian dude to me.
It was the mature complaint from the jolly Dota 2 community at his first reveal. Since it was probably put forward by those who are younger in spirit, I don't expect much reason to be found in its formation.
He's not wearing a Sombrero...

People calling it a somberoro are just as dumb as those calling alpine ursa a cowboy suit...
His name is Raijan, like the shinto god of thunder (aka Raiden in the west, ever play mortal kombat?). He's wearing a straw hat, just like he was in wc3.
Anyway, I'm sure we'll get some more eastern-like heroes because of the Chinese fanbase (not to mention Chinese mythology is bad ass).

I've tried a slew of new heroes lately. Here are my impressions:
Venomancer Set a new record for assists (35), his wards are useful throughout the game, and his Gale is an awesome slow. Extremely squishy, but that's life as a support. Thumbs up for Veno.
Tinker While it was cool being able to teleport all over the map once I got my BoTs, I just couldn't get comfortable with his kit. It probably didn't help that my team got stomped, but I felt that I wasn't contributing much. I'll give him another shot down the line, but for now I give Tinker a thumbs down.
Naga Siren Potentially fun, will have to play again to have a sure opinion. I was pretty mana-starved and underfarmed all game, and making effective use of her illusions was very attention-demanding. Like Lone Druid, probably best to play on the weekends when I'm not so tired from work. Undecided.
Kunkka His cleave is so satisfying, especially during the laning phase where I was able to zone the fuck out of Slark. Landing Torrents/ults is hard but also satisfying. Overall had fun. Thumbs up for Kunkka.
Leshrac His kit is pretty cool, but like Tinker I just couldn't get comfortable with it. He's a great pusher. I'll give him another shot, but for now I'll give him a thumbs down because I had much more fun with other heroes.
Weaver So much fun. I love his kit; it's very satisfying when you know you're annoying the shit out of your enemies. Two thumbs up for Weaver.
Chaos Knight A risky hero in that he's either a blast to play, or no fun at all. I had a blast in this game, but I got my soul crushed in this match. Still, he has a great kit and is such a badass that I have to give him a thumbs up. Will pick again.
Wisp Fuck you, All Random. Two thumbs down.
Sniper and Drow Ranger Both good for low level pubs (read: my level), but I found them kind of boring to play. Very straightforward heroes. I'll have to give them thumbs down because I'd rather play different carries.
Dragon Knight Fun, tanky carry. His ult is bad ass. Thumbs up would pick again.

Story of my DOTA experience- 3 straight wins/4 straight losses..I've given up getting to .500 at this point. When I decide to repick this game up hardcore, I'll try again..
I'm envious of those of you that have experienced 10 game win streaks...Longest for me was 7 and that was in the beginning when I played nothing but Lich..

I carried 2 games in a row last night without dying. Felt good. Unfortunately I think it was just because the other team was really, really bad.
