Meh, With TA you can wreck Invoker mid, and seeing that no one buys sentries or dust in low MMR games as soon as he cold snaps you just melt and you are good, But get Blink as first item after boots then people cant deal.. You can get fat a lot faster than an Invoker. So when enemy team picks invoker I pick TA, you should not lose the lane with a TA against Invoker,

It all depends on who is playing, you could meteor (get rid of refraction) followed by a sunstrike if TA survives, she still has to back off or keep a spirit hitting TA while Invoker free farms (apply pressure and make refraction pointless).

Plus any support with a stun can punish an aggressive TA with smoke and dust when invoker is mid.

Hence I say in LOW level games, TA obviously has weaknesses but in the average invoker game no one is going to go that far, they would much rather flame invoker with why you lose mid comments.

Holy smokes dude, you okes should have won that game! Fark me, that was on epic battle, I thought we lost 20min before the game even ended,specially after we lost our entire base with only the Ancient standing on half health and us having zero raxes.

Sadly I've played a few ranked games with that idiot on my team and every single time we lose :(

I've now made a mental note of his handle, will just disconnect during loading if I see him on my team in future :p

PS..... -25mmr is another player I'm avoiding to play with like a plaque , holy **** that dude is useless!

Also goes by 1vs9

Well the player pool in SA is small so we can probably make a in game chat channel and call it something like MyBB ranked games and all start searching, then at least we can have some sort of decent game

What hero/s do you enjoy playing, but are actually pretty crap with, or just have a horrible win rate with?

First one that comes to mind for me is Wind Ranger. 50 games played, 32% win rate :p For some reason I just cant buy a win on that ginger wench...

Currently working on getting my puck win rate above 50%. Couple more wins should get me there. Think I'm on bout 47% right now.

haha good question...

I'm working on my hero pool, but currently I'm on shocking win-rates (<30%) Terrorblade, Naga and Lone Druid, although I enjoy playing all of them.

On the flipside, I'm sitting on 80% with both Ursa and OD....mostly due to single draft picks, and I don't even really enjoy them.

I've actually realised how small my hero pool is at times. There are some heros that aren't difficult to play at all, but I just never given them a go in pubs. Example; OD, Death Prophet, Ogre Magi, Spec, Warlock, Wraith King, Zeus. While I'm fairly comfortable in any role, would really like to start getting those pool sizes up.

Just play all random. You'll get better faster and the types of people that play the mode are better sports as well.
