for people saying that Garena sucks, I have something to say:
1) At low levels, yes Garena sucks. After noobs get firstblooded they will ragequit...
2) At low levels, you will most likely encounter noobs, so it's not surprising to see 3 heroes in same lane all with boots and nothing else as starting items.
3) If you somehow get pass the noobs, and can enter higher level rooms, then you will enjoy the game a bit more. Even lvl5 restriction rooms is better than the noob rooms.
4) If you play in USA, rooms 1, 2 and 3 are usually better than the other USA rooms, because majority of 'good' players play here.
5) If you play in euro, and if you are at least lvl10 join the high level room. lvl15 and lvl17 are even better rooms(where I usually play). In these rooms, you WILL get BANNED from the ROOM for leaving games, so to be honest 8/10 of my games are finished in a 5v5 fashion or the other team simply FF.
6) If you have a clan, practice to play as a team. And go to CW rooms.
7) If you are GOOD yourself, you only need you and some other friend and in a pub you shouldn't really lose. When my mates aren't on, I go pub by myself and 9/10 it's a win game. Even when I play in euro lvl17 room. Now, I'm not bragging; let's just put it this way... my opponents are just worst than me. First time I played with
fckker we dominated. And all following games we still dominated. We had not so good players in our team but games were still one-sided and no contest. If we can do it with two people, you shouldn't have trouble winning with more friends.

Finally, the better player you are, the more fun you gonna have at dota <-- trust me in this... and if you disagree... what can I say... noob!
