Dota 2
It's obvious that Dota is against the solo player now.
I recently won 10 matches in a row. They were pretty damn hard matches, lasting up to 50 minutes for each one. Also take note: Each match took 1 to 4 minutes to find!
Cool right? Makes sense that I would lose right? Of course it's Dota, you gotta lose sometimes right? Even though I have 16 in a row win spree with just abbadon alone.

Anyways my point is, is that why did I lose 7 matches in a row right after I won these 10 matches? Why did I not have players that were decent like the other matches? ANd yea the other 10 matches my guys weren't awesome, but I will say they knew somewhat about the game. So it makes my job as a carry pretty tolerable. No problem don't even mind if I lose, cause it was such a "FAIR MATCH". HOWEVER here comes the real kicker. How did I lose 7 matches in a row to put me right back where I started? Why were those 7 matches the hardest matches I've ever played in my life? Why were my partners so new to the game, that a person doesn't even know how to use a witch doctor properly? Or better yet, who picks a Wraith King after an Anti Mage was picked on the other side? So many questions that all lead to an answer that most people who are between 1.5k and 2.2k have yet to notice after they read this. So here's one more question you should be asking as well. Why does the game take 8 minutes to 20 minutes to find the worst match possible where you lose as a score of 14 to 56? Oh I know why, because Dota has officially rigged it against the Solo player. It is making all of us have to find friends to play as a 5 man team. And to me that's not right, cause solo was the best thing that ever happened to multiplayer history, but now they put Casino tactics in this game, where it lets you win 7 to 10 matches in a row, and then it makes sure to ♥♥♥♥ on you! But not just giving you people who are bad at the game, no this looks like these players are bots on easy mode, and why the freak do they all speak spanisH? it makes no sense! Wheres my American people? I always play against people who know english? Wheres my english team mates? Valve for ruining this game, I hope you burn in hell.

...
I guess there is a big mutual misunderstanding then. From the Dota2 homepage:
"Join the Battle. Bring your friends."
"Bring your friends and party up."

Nothing about "Queue solo for best gaming experience". And this homepage is unchanged for years now. I think they catered solo queue to much for years and still do. The needed effort for Valve to reduce social friction in solo queue, in particular lower ranks, will ruin their business model at some point.

So are you gonna cry and giveup ? Or man up and start try to win again ? Its as simple as that. Its easy to blame system, blame teammate, blame others but in that long story you wrote i dont see you blame yourself.

Thats the different between great player and you. You dont know when to take the blame yourself.

Solo matchmaking is a gamble in ANY competitive team, anonymous account, free-to-play video game. You generalize to much.

Well Dante just shows how dense you are and how much of indenial you really are in. Cause you won't acknowledge that my matches are unfair. I mean if you think a match lost with 17 and 56 score is my fault.. Well you are obviously insane. If you can't figure out this game has casino tactics. Well I guess I just keep insulting you cause you are very very very very stupid. You don't have math skills, can't read, and you never play dota. You're always in the forums, that obviously means you are the biggest little girl when it comes to solo playing. Like you can't stand losing, so you wait alllllll day for your little friends to come online, so you can play 2 matches of dota. You are the biggest freakin loser ever!

Trolling, Harassing and Targeting people in this forum is an offense and breaking the forum rules. You can report me if you think i am breaking that rules. Then the mod will ban me from the forum. And i am here already been years in this forum, Do you think i would already be banned long time ago ? Its not logical what you are accusing me for.

See even in the forum you are easily triggered and angry at others. All your words doesnt have any respect for another dota 2 player. So i'm not really surprise if you have bad teammates with this kind of behaviour you having. If i lost 17 to 56 yeah its my fault of course in there. but in your thread i didnt read a single word that you have fault in your confession (not even partly your fault) you need to start from your own gameplay if you wanna improve. Its as simple as that.

Dante until you can confidently tell me that you have won immortal ranks, like I have. Remember if you want the proof I'll give you the steam names of my friends, who are immortals and would not mind telling you, that I'm an excellent teammate, and that I'm the mvp of the match everytime we would play together. So yeah, bro you don't got the confidence so therefore you have no right to talk on my forums as if you are better than me. And another thing about that whole respect, arent you the one who disrespected me by asking if I'm going to cry? Look at you, you show your true colors right here, you are a hypocrite pansy little girl. Get off my forum freak!

and by the way, you just got triggered hard, you little troll. I'm not going to report you though, cause I'm a man, and I love soloing in this forum, cause it's too easy just like solo in dota 2. When everything is up to me, as you can see, I win.

Ok give me the match id. I never said i'm better than you. I said you need to improve yourself. And how is cry is disrespect ? every single people cry including me and everyone else cause human have emotion.

And i'm sorry i cant do what you want to leave the forum unless you have the right to forbid me by banning me from the forum. Its the real world, not everything you want can be given to you.
