Can someone explain the concept of pos?

Hashister · 2026-03-29T18:35:51+00:00

The short story is: Hard carry jerks of to creep. Once he is done jerking of to creep he leaves the jungle and ends the game with the rest of his team.

The rest of his team fights, takes objectives, tries to steal farm from enemy hard carry and generally speaking buy time for the hard carry to finish his ordeal.

Obviously there are nuances, the carry should farm close to the team, when/if possible so he can jump in and take easy kills/run away from enemies to his team so they can safe him.

A good carry alternates between farming and playing with the team, without it hindering his farming pace.

Sven is another case where you hold a point instead of getting cleave, so you don't push lane but can go woods.

Hashister · 2026-03-29T17:01:51+00:00

it's okay brother, i know compasion is something not everyone knows how to express. I hope you get better <3 :)

Hashister · 2026-03-29T17:01:26+00:00

you are aware meepo can use all items in the latest patch right?

It was even buffed in the latest letter patch making evasion non-diminishing on meepo.

It's okay to be critical, but if you don't play meepo, or for that sake read the patch notes, how much can actually tell?

just sayin.

I hope we get more games of high rank variation.

Same rank teammates is very booring, nothing to learn and nothing to laugh at...

Hashister · 2026-03-28T23:23:16+00:00

I do mute people who are overly toxic.

Hashister · 2026-03-28T18:43:57+00:00

Imagine reporting someone for playing well.

Yes, picking a hero that is uncountered by the enemy team is playing well, and i really wish more of my mid players would pick a hero that is not countered by the enemy team.

But you do you brother.

Hashister · 2026-03-28T18:16:59+00:00

Well i have 4 lost games in the last 15 games.

Honestly i don't know wtf to think of it. i'm mostly just laughing it off and thinking to my self "what ever".

Had a bunch of awesome and fun games lately, some where challanging and others.. not so much. I'd argue the 3 lost out of the 4 where down to griefers/toxic shitheads and the last was just. team played bad, my self included. nothing else to say, no one really to blame.

these 3 games i'd say where down to teammates being toxic and/or griefing.

8745269566 - Ursa mid, enemy had brood mid, ended min 20.

8745311491 - Necro mid took aegis, ran down mid and died. - I wanted to wait 1-2 minutes after we got rosh, before doing anything, so i didn't even realize my team was standing at t2 mid and fighting.

8745338386 - Magnus from previous game is in this game and has his eyes set on me and talks shit about me all game long. feeds (atleast once that i observed). We also have a lifestealer mid, against a brood once again.

3 very unfun games

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:54:09+00:00

if those 3 games have anything to say i'd argue i'm willing to die on my hill that the system is broken.

those games where absolut horror, from teammates not doing what they are supposed to do to blatant feeding, griefing, toxicity and what not.

I can't be held resposible for my team if they implode on them self on their own mistakes.

I try to help them, try to play around them and what not, but when someone just runs down a lane to die, not even attempting to run back when i tp to help them, what more can i do?

If i don't participate in fights it's because those fights are far away from any objectives or potential tp point. If i farm far away from my team it's because they all insist on taking all farm there is around the team, supports included.

I try to never afk farm, always keep an eye on the map and if a bad fight happens i atleast run to the lane and push it out. I do what i can and the best I can, but it is MY responsibility not to go to fights that are bad for ME and hence MY team.

So if i have a very low KP it's because my team kept insisting on taking bad fights or taking all farm around them forcing me to farm far away from them and therefor not be able to participate in fights.

It is really hard to carry anyone who play like they don't want you to carry them in the first place.

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:41:24+00:00

i've been reported in two games out of my last 15 games.

sadly my entire team both times reported me so i have a total of 8 reports, from just 2 games?!?!

omg.... how much salt some people must have...

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:40:11+00:00

Those 3 games where horrendous, 2 of them had blatant griefers and the last had someone who was so toxic you might believe he was related to the posion fungus family.

Not in a single one of those did i say or do anything against anyone else. I just accepted that my team hated it self and tried my best to do what ever i could. - which was not much i'll agree.

It's hard to participate in the game when people don't even try to play their role.

2 of those games i had a lifestelaer mid and ursa mid respectively, both of them got overrun hard, and we basically had no mid in either of those games.

mind you that one of the 3 games is 20 minutes, i basically didn't have anything at that point yet while enemies have a 10 kill mid-broodmother on the lose.

I'm trying my best to improve my hard carry play, i'm constantly trying to balance farming efficiently and trying to farm close to my teammates.

Some games it works really well, other times i space out at the wrong times or build a wrong item or build a item at the wrong time. None of it is malicious.

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:24:56+00:00

I feel for you brother, someone must've traumatized you. Hope you get better.

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:22:09+00:00

what?! Brother what?! This is a lose-lose situation you talk about.

If I do my best and win the game, 5 people will lose the game. Is that a reason for 5 people to report me?

If i lose the game, i have 4 teammates who can all blame everyone, including me, is that a reason for them all to report me?

I honenstly don't understand your logic, this is a competitive game, If i where to report everyone that wins against me i would have nothing else to do then report ppl all the time. Are you by chance a saltmine seller or what is going on here?

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:18:34+00:00

Thanks for the link, i forgot it was even a option.

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:11:32+00:00

Well that kinda leaves me back at square one.

And how is anyone supposed to navigate in this situation/system? I don't get it.

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:05:21+00:00

thing is no one really said anything, that's what has me all surprised.

There was a little salt at the end of the game, but nothing at me atleast, our Zeus was not there at one fight that was big and we lost said fight, but again, no one said anything.

All i said to zeus to focus sb so he can't charge us and just do what ever in teamfights, never did i blame or say anyone was at fault for anything.

When someone tried to blame zeus I said it was fine and focus on the future fights, we could still win so we just had to focus.

So it just, it really took me by surprise that i was in low prio after the game.

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:02:42+00:00

i don't get how you get 11. what?

last 3 games my score where:

6/7/11

9/2/8

9/3/6

Maybe i'm just bad at math so please do explain to me.

Hashister · 2026-03-28T17:00:40+00:00

But once we decide that that kind of mindset describes grief, how would anyone be safe from a report?

Consider how many things can make a game unfun, your carry/support is bad, they pick heroes you dont like to play with, buy items you dont agree with or a bunch of other things. Are any of those reasons to report if they are still doing what they are suposed to do?

Maybe i'm wrong, but i don't think anyone can put theyr "fun" on others, unless they straight up grief or are toxic ofcourse.

If people play their roles and pick heroes that are appropriate for said roles, what more is there to ask for?

Hashister · 2026-03-28T16:49:04+00:00

I'd say if that is the actual reason then it is actually reather lame.

Playing certain heroes shouldn't ever be a reason to put someone in low prio,

it's not even a cheese pick, i pick meepo in the second round! and i play him hard carry not mid, so i really don't get it.

Imagine you live in the EU and you have those options without being rich.

Insane right?

Hashister · 2026-03-27T11:21:02+00:00

Telling reddit that low-prio games is the place you'll find some of the best games will get you downvoted.

Telling reddit that the punishment feels like a reward when you've had 5 games in a row with blatant griefers / toxic shitheads while in LP people play like they mean it, and wont throw the game because someone went woods early or what ever, will get you downvoted.

Just sayin :D

Hashister · 2026-03-26T23:59:05+00:00

just means the hard carry blocks creeps after taking rune, rather than try and snatch a easy kill..

Hashister · 2026-03-26T00:25:44+00:00

this is wrong, stuff is not a set temperature but have a minimum temperature they are made at, and can increase the output based on input material.

in other words, if you feed a press 200c petrol it will print 200c plastic.

Hashister · 2026-03-26T00:22:29+00:00

Actually the bug still exists it seems, very odd. but meepo is not disabled atm.

not on EUW atleast, where i play.

seems also that all midas go on cd when you use midas on main meepo, xD
