If you guys hurry, you can watch Milk/Anboker/tswift destroy a team in the reddit dota leauge. Its listed in armature tournaments.
 
Ive benn playing Hearthstone, muuuch better rage wise.

. Games are so fast I dont even have time to rage.
. Funny spells and emotes to bright my day
. No chat so your opponent only says "Greeetings" and "thank you" Such nice guys!
. No Face to throw the game.

Assstone makes me infinitely more mad than Dota nowadays, rng is the absolute worst
 
gotta say my techies learning process was coddled some. I've been trying to re-learn earth spirit by watching the top dotabuff guys and it's a much harder process. Item builds are all over the place, jeraxai hasn't played him in days so I can't watch his replays in game, and many of the top people with him don't play him as often as I'd like. Techies seems to cater to specialists who play him constantly, and mine placements and timings are easier to learn than ES combos and when you should and shouldn't go in 1v2/3/4. I thought I was getting better at learning the game, but my first few days have been humbling.
 
Actually, why are dual lanes so niche in the competitive/high-skill meta but so prevalent in the lower tiers? Is it because a skilled offlaner in theory can lane against multiple heroes?

Dual lanes are simple and straightforward. Trilanes require coordination you don't see often in pubs, certainly not among 3 random strangers. Roaming requires a high degree of game sense and also coordination. Solo suiciding is a matter of pure skill, most players can barely confidently win a 1v1, asking them to 2v1 is a recipe for disaster.

The 2-1-2 configuration is the simplest to execute. Any other configuration is a crapshoot unless you're queueing as a team.
