I am Guardian III and well deserved. Because I am not playing well. I recently got back into the game after not playing for years.

What really annoys me is that there are very rarely players who care about their team above their own farm. I am not just talking about that one Carry guy, who has his team muted and spends all game either dead or in the jungle.

I mean Supports and Offlaners who do walk around the map, but they obliviously run past a Watcher instead of spending the 1,5 secs to essentially get a free ward on the map. When we control the map, everyone is out farming, instead of taking a Tormentor. Which would be a free 1400 Gold item for one of us that improves the strength of the entire team. And taking Roshan has also gotten pretty rare.

This stuff is not that hard. And I don’t see how taking map objectives could hurt us.

And somehow support items are also super rare. I used to play a lot from 2013 to 2015. Back then Mekansm was a standard on every Support. We now have so much better stuff, like Guardian Greaves and Boots of Bearing. Why are they so rare?

Is it because I play at such a low rank or because I play with guys with low Behavior score? Or is that just Dota these days?

(Mine is around 7,5k, but I regularly play with people who can’t even use text chat and write on the mini-map what we do with our mothers and how little intellectual capacity we posess).
