With online gaming being the cesspool that it is, why are team based games so popular?
Because you can just blame your team if you fuck up.
Should i get Aghanim's Scepter for kotl's unobstructed vision if my game sense allows me to escape a gank every single time?
Sometimes my team blames me when i tell them to b but they die because they didn't listen, then i said i told them to b earlier but they said to get Aghanim's Scepter.
But why should i get Aghanim's Scepter if i know when to b? Should i get Aghanim's Scepter just to lend credibility when i tell my team to b?
It's not like I'm mhing, although with my game sense it may look like it.

You can trash talk your team.
Seriously that's the only thing that goes on in these games, everyone does their own thing then lo and behold they all complaining and whining why X didn't do Y because Z.
Shared responsibilty in wins and losses, it's more interesting to play vs/with humans than bots, competition?

You're lying. The only way your game sense is this developed is if either you're a pro or you're from wc3 dota

If it was the only reason to aghanims then you might have an argument. Fortunately it has more use than vision.

If your game sense can make up for not having a scepter. You're better off with filling your slot with another offense item. The cooldown between ults is only 20 seconds.
Why is Invoker the funnest hero?

The image of online gaming being a cesspool is often exaggerated, and, in the case of mobas, it usually stems from low skill bracket games where nobody communicates.
Keep communicating, and discussing tactics, with your pug and all goes well. I say this as someone that near never has reports, but always has ~4-5 commends on their communication summary.
When someone gets a lot of armor, what should I get to counter it ?
because comletitve video games are fun.

IDK, siege is pretty cool. First game I've ever played where russians aren't annoying

Aghs is fairly solid - it's great value stat+resource gain for one slot. At the end of the day your individual competence doesn't matter foremost - it's a case of winrate. If you think you can make up for their tard deaths by getting somethjng else, go for it.
I find that getting into the habbit of drawing enemy movements from the early game lends credibility to your claims. Just don't rub it in their faces when you're right and they didn't listen. They already know you are, so saying nothing, or fielding a constructive comment is best.

Is it worth it to get deso/AC against someone who has like 10~15 armor without items ? I'm really asking, I want to learn more
What is mhing and game sense
>>340850513
I enjoy competition to an extreme degree. It's my rush. Teamwork or solo, as long as it is competitive.
Unfortunately, I don't enjoy the simplicity of most modern professional sports. There's not enough complexity for me to grab on to. Paintball is sort of alright, MMA is sort of alright, but I just have no buy-in emotionally.
Oddly enough, LARPs like Amtgard are the closest I've found to what I'd enjoy physically, but the cringe factor is so god damn real I can't do it.
So, that leaves team-based video games.

Yes
Armour reduction works better agaist low armour units
>>340852614
Thanks
>>340852094
It depends on how much armor the targets have when you complete it. Removing 7 armor from a 10 armor target is significantly more beneficial than 7 from 20 since armor stacking armor get diminishing damage reduction.

How do i cope with my newfound inferiority?

Relearn item names and reprogramme brain for new keybinds. It doesn't take many hours.
>>340852776
That's what I thought, this graph is really useful thanks.
>>340852094
Just remember that relative armour reduction is linear in relative EHP removal - so 50->40 is the same as 15->12 in relative EHP removal.
>>340852890
You can actually change your keybinds to match legacy keys in the options
