Arjack was not the problem in our lane. We had poor coordination all around with the players in the lane pursuing incompatible game plans. The rovers' ability to outmaneuver and pressure Tanks stopped working due to allied Dirtbags, there was no coherent combined response to the growing Minotaur ball, and although there were some plane kills overall AA investment was too low by at least half once the air players outscaled the initial Angler group - not that our static AA was well protected when it did get built.

The first Krow did a lot to stabilize the situation. The follow-up Krows did not coordinate well with the ground forces but still made enough impact in being lost to contribute to the other team's resignation. Arjack even maintained the Lotus fence once I lost the ability to do so - granted that I could have afforded it if I'd taken a larger share of the reclaim.

Pretty sure I wouldnt loose this Krow if soltie tanks had support a bit, just a bit, cause its not aa or raptor that made the most damage on it, and anyway, they could have 'tank' dammage for me and save the krow, instead, I got mocked.
' help with what ' is all he could say .... help with your stack of tanks when I come to save your lane instead of idling and watch my krow dies, just in hope you can reclaim it, talking about soltie btw.

It's unrealistic to expect a silver player to entirely avoid bad decisions.

It's also unrealistic for the silver player to expect a nearby brown or bronze teammate to act decisively to bail out a mistake.

Arjack, are you sure this is the right game? Softie was on the other team. I did try to bail all three of your Krows out but they all died faster and deeper than I could respond to through the copious Dirtbag remnants.

I would say you could expect a silver to have as much common sense as to not do basically nothing for the first minutes of the game, purely leeching metal. And then when the thing gets finished he uses it carelessly. Happens to better players as well but the combination of these two things is grating, the arrogant attitude seals the deal pretty much.

Im not sure i could have actually helped much there even if i wanted, and i would have had to risk what little of an army i actually had there, having to play against 2 or 3 people for the first half of the game while Arjack was decidedly not helping in the back. And then he finally arrives, throws his Krow into heavy defenses which expectedly fails, and feels i am being unfair pointing it out. Also feels like he is being generous helping my lane.

A better player would know that it was his responsibility to help the front first, and if he does decide to build a Krow instead he must keep it alive (by himself!) as a absolute priority.

*edit: i was also refering to the game that Arjack is talking about. In this game here he does some other things like making jacks, but he is also leeching metal aggressively in order to build Krows, which he then basically throws away for little gain. It did cost his team the lane in the end but the not the victory.
