So, I have this secret hate. This burning hate for one hero in particular. I never play her, and curse the enemy team if they decide to employ her services in noob stomping. She's the dark ranger, Drow Ranger.
Now, to start off, you never see a Drow in high-tier or professional games, and there's a reason for it. Drow is a easy kill, DPS hero with an amazing slow ability as well as a Silence. This exceptional skilled hero comes with two passives that increase her raw damage. This makes for a surprisingly easy to play with hero, but she is very weak and dies quickly.

She told me that she placed the DVD in her DVD-Player, and it refused to play. So, as always, I took out the disc, and checked it for scratches. There weren't any. Upon telling the woman that there seems to be nothing wrong with the disc, she continued on to tell me that she has the best, state-of-the-art DVD player, and that the disc must be faulty because her player is perfect.

Now, my metaphor is a bit in reverse, but it'll do. Just because your team loses, doesn't mean your team is the 'biggest noobs on Dota', and 'should uninstall Dota'. In fact, I have come to realize that very often than not, you lose a game because the ene…
