And what is so bad about playing pubs?
I don't take games very serious and I have a life, so why should it matter what I play?
Mistake Nr. 1) "I have a life" excuse: Yes, dota can be a time intensive game. But you dont have to have no life to be good at dota. If you are playing dota for a long time you can easily be better than pub players without giving up your social life. Sometimes, simply using your brain does suffice
Mistake Nr. 2) Thinking pubs arent a bad thing: Being a public game means being with a mix of dumb people, 12 year olds, people with horrible internet connections, beginners and a few people who can play dota and want to pubstomp. The game quality is always horrible and pub games will never get close to real dota, which is a 5on5 TEAM game...
Mistake Nr 3) Your Itembuild: Vladmirs is a horrible starting item. Treads isnt that strong, but possible. Phase just works great with yurnero as you can phase during bladestorm. Desolator is perfectly fine, but lothars is terrible and a waste of money. Butterfly will be pretty hard to farm unless in a pub... No mention of bottle (In any posts in this thread though), no mention of the possibility of going diffusal...
