Ladder or Custom? That is the question

[Darkmatter]

FF is better then a lot of other frenzy themed maps out there though.

I started on Frozen Throne playing 3v3 ladder games then got on a losing streak and decide to have 1 game of Dota 2 hours later... hmm another Dota sounds good... and now im addicted to Dota but i want to lvl more but i just want to play Dota, see im addicted. Im only lvl 11 and my mates are all in the 20's now

I was lvl 16 on RoC before i discovered my first version of dota i ever played dota 3.7 then as i was on yet another losing streak i got addicted to that and lost lvls to like lvl 12 then finally played Frozen Throne.

WC is hard ladderwise. I'm an icon lover though so I have to play to get sexy icons.

I was level 23 when my comp got taken away, 75% wins too. 2v2 rt , i only random.

 

[Darkmatter]

Nice. RT is tough...

We shall see about that....

Depends on the mode, if you actually micro in 4on4, yuo can win no matter what. As you start losing players to 1on1, the micro gets harder, the use of units becomes more important and you need to implement strategy more effectively.

The only reason I ever lose now is because of either 2 things. Either I can't recooperate from hero nukes or failed attacks or my teammate is an idiot. But I don't play for profession, I play for the fun of the game, but I would like to win.

It depends. I either go custom, or ladder, depending if I wanna play Tower Wars, or a normal game.

 

[Darkmatter]

The latter is all I really have problems with. when my ally masses burrows, I kinda wonder. =/

 

[Venice_native]

I've massed burrows, except in the enemies base...

 

[Darkmatter]

Did it work?

 

[Venice_native]

It did, only because it was early in the game and my allies lent heavy meele support.

You listed 3 things :-/

I only play 3v3 right now. The only problem I have is when I get gang raped in my base and my allies dont help me or I go against mass caster.

 

[ChrisH36]

Recooperating from failed attacks or hero nukes are practically under the same category. Buddy, the trick to 3on3 is not to rely on your teammates. Just harass alone and try to find someone who is teching. Then tell your teammates what's going on and force them to follow you. If they don't, then they are idiots and don't deserve to play.

 

[Darkmatter]

Still wont erase a loss from your record or teach them anything. =/

 

[ChrisH36]

But making up for it in wins is worthwhile.

 

[Darkmatter]

Doesn't always work like that happily everafter bullshit and you know that as well as I do.

I play Custom, only because I suck hard at resource management. I was a god when it came to SC's money maps. But uh, when it actually takes strategy and such, then it's a no go.

 

[Orky]

I play ladder. I never really got into the custom thing.

Heh same here. Only I don't spend enough in WC (thats what people tell me...) and that leads to my downfall.

Well, you play customs like footmen frenzy often. So you do have your "warcraft moments".
