He got me once, but by the time the laning phase was over I still had 2 Tangoes and a salve. Also, you wouldn't believe how little they focused on me, which helped me stay alive even when I kept turning the melee into chickens, or shackling runners. They kept going after the PA and Chaos Knight since we had a double carry bottom lane, which by all fairness should have been utterly lost if it wasn't for Warlock and me popping down to help.
Now that I think about it, they probably could have won that game, since their early game was just disgusting, kills all over top and bottom. But then again, I guess that's the power of supports for ya.
I mean they had 3 early to mid-game powerhouses in Axe, Tusk, and Pudge versus 3 carries and two heroes who can be pretty farm-dependent.
anyhow I'm pretty certain that the last winning streak I've been on (3 losses total on page one of my recent games, 2 of them were because of leavers/feeders and one was me being shitty at Enchantress) has put me against significantly better players. It's a nice change. There are still the usual idiots but there are just less of them now, and it's really nice. I finally got a game in High matchmaking (which we won, iirc we actually had a trilane which was nice; I was offlane bounty hunter) which was pretty exciting.
I've actually been playing a ton of -AR, -SD, and -RD in solo MM which is nice but makes for pretty long queue times. So far I've gotten lucky and haven't randomed heroes that I simply can't play or hate like Meepo/Chen or Riki. Hope my luck holds.
