I find that unfair. If I played with you, I wouldn't WANT to have to build around you. I wouldn't WANT to have to compliment what you random. Yes, I might want to counterpick a high threat carry, but that isn't the same thing.

If I went into a game and went "OK! I'm going to play *insert hero here*, and you can just do whatever you want as long as it compliments me in some way." Would you or would you not be mad?

Back on subject, I don't enjoy people who random and then repick. The whole POINT is that you end up with a hero you wouldn't normally play. If I see someone random something AWESOME like Faceless void or Anti mage, I don't want to see them repick Pudge for the simple fact that "I didn't want to play carry this game." Which is what most people say to me when I ask why they do it.

That doesnt really make sense, if you are going to random at all atleast do it instantly. It makes even less sense after you say that you shouldnt repick.

So you enjoy people who random after 3 heroes in you team have been picked? So you enjoy people who random tinker even though they are awefull with him?

And yes i would like if some people instantly pick what they want to play, if everyone waits untill the last second then half will pick something including 2 agi carries, and the rest will lose gold because they are panicing WHAT SHOULD I PICK?!?!????

lol I didn't intend the thread to be a debate over when you should or shouldn't random.. Just stories :p

I had another one a couple of days ago that I was super proud of:

I was playing unranked pubs and picking randoms, and I got stuck on a team with a three man party and another single person. The party was pretty annoying and obviously didn't really know what they were doing. I was playing Undying and my partner was Shadow Shaman in the offlane, and The party picked Phantom Assassin and Ursa and started chatting about how they were going to farm and early rosh, etc etc to get fed.

Anyway, me and SS owned our lane and got a few kills before helping the rest. Unfortunately our carries fed and PA only had HotD and Phase Boots by 30 mins. They raged, of course, and blamed me and SS for some reason (odd men out I guess).

The very next game, I realized that I was now playing against the very same party I had just teamed with. Before the game they started throwing trash talk at me "Play like you did last game so we can have an easy win" etc etc, and I just lol'd and went along with it. I instantly randomed and locked in Phantom Assassin, the same hero that my enemy had just failed with.

I'm not the best carry in pubs, and my team had 3 other carries or semi carries already, so I was expecting to be way underfarmed. However, we had a really great Tidehunter support and he gave me a ton of space to just farm like crazy. I rushed a Battlefury and mostly stayed out of fights, though I did die a few times early on. It didn't really look good, but after about 15 mins of solid farming I came out with Battle Fury, Assault Cuirass, Abyssal Blade, whatever bots, and a HotD. They hadn't fought me since early levels, and I was way too big for them to handle. The game ended pretty quick after I started fighting so my score was only like 7-5, but it was clear that they absolutely couldn't touch me.

They all posted "report PA" and similar comments in the all chat afterwards lol.

Hemm if you like to make pick/counterpick with some sense my advice to you is to stop playng All pick (unranked).

unranked All pick is where you always find same kind of heroes and same bad habit, try evrything else! Is better!
