In the games I played above, I only died 1-2 times most games, those deaths were usually because it was a situation like I could stay and destroy a base turret so I felt it was worth dying. I see people use dust, gems, and wards, but it all seems counter-able. I mean PL is pretty tough for anyone, in the games I played him I could take anyone on 1v1 and win, so it wasn't enough to just have dust, they had to send 2-3 people to kill me and if I left lane before they arrived it was just a big waste of resources.

ugh... wonder how much of a broken carry he'll be.
Not broken at all in pro scenes or even high level pubs. He's too much single target with 0 mobility. The kings of carries are Void, AM, PL, Lone Druid and so on.
I wrote a nice guide to Troll just now, check it out:

It's an easy thing to offend a troll. A prickly and contentious race, trolls thrive on argument and strife, missing no excuse to raise their voices in dispute. Males grow to maturity in subterranean chambers beneath their matriarch's domicile, feeding and amusing themselves while contributing nothing. Often they stay for years beyond the age of maturity, while the matriarch provides them with sustenance. When young trolls are finally pushed from their sub-chamber, they gather with others of their kind, forming roving gangs of malcontents who complain loudly about all manner of vexation. As much as trolls love to argue, imagine how rare it is for a troll to be driven from his own kind for being too difficult to get along with. Such was Jah'rakal's fate, a monger troll from deep in the Hoven. So deluded was he, so bitter and abrasive, that even other trolls found his company intolerable. After one particularly vitriolic outburst in which he claimed the lion's share of loot from their latest raid, his cohorts finally snapped. They turned on him, beat him with clubs, and drove him from the encampment. Enraged at his banishment, he returned the next day, armed with steel, and slew them all, one by one. He then swore a blood oath: he would ever after be a fighting force unto himself. Now he roams the world as the Troll Warlord, bitter and angry, the Imperial high commander of an army of one.
Rod of Atos, what a great item. How have I never noticed it before?
All random mode, awesome. That was always my favorite mode in dota.
Thank God for AR soon, now we need DM. :ninja:
You can now view your ELO score through Dotabuff.com!
This was shut down by Valve yesterday (they've been intentionally hiding them to prevent flames/ragers). So the score you see will be useless and outdated after tonight. Go check it out to see where you stood among everyone in your entire Dota 2 career:
How to view your DBR:
1. Go to Dotabuff.com
2. Log in using your Steam ID
3. Go to 'Records' tab, your rating is shown at top
This shows the DBR distribution and explanation.
I am 1909 (Platinum), 98% percentile, 973-956. I played this game for so long since Dota 1, so I was really excited to see my score. I thought I could break 2000, seeing as top 1% is still a lot of people if you're a seasoned player. But then, I never really played seriously- random picks and trying fun builds most of the time. Fun is foremost.
I guess I'm happy with it.
