EARLY
Raven gets caught by classic trilane gank behind top tower at 28 seconds for first blood. Mad?
DRD trilanes bottom.  Madman leeches exp from behind a tree and no one sees him.  Classic nerd trylane shit.
QQi switches their trilane to bottom and leaves IPwnedAIDS top solo as Dev against Slither top. 
Big pro blue player not getting shield on Dev in solo lane against ranged opponent? 
Pretty bad not shielding up on Dev against a team with 4 ranged heroes. 
Loses lane horribly to Raven big burying with Slither, who should be easy kills for Dev but instead cant get near creeps without getting harassed into dumpster.
Mid being won by Moon on Chipper against StickyRice on Bubbles but no kill action early, Bubbles is hard to kill.
Trilane vs. Trilane action being won by DRD for the most part, other than some sloppy feeds.  Wisp almost dies 50 times but jumps out with 5% health cuz Myrmiddon is 2 ez.

MID
Dev switches to bottom and gets a couple big time hook + ults on WaC who doesn’t leap out fast enough.  East lag?  Hungry?
Dev making up for early fail with big kills.
Moon starts ganking with Chipper and racking up BIG KILLS.  nJoi feeding HARD on Nymphora.  QQbaby is getting torn up on Torturer too.
DRD controlling map, good wards by wisp, but also overplaying, diving towers and getting ripped on.  Good organization by QQi making counter plays and staying in the game.
Good ganking too, picking off wisp and and hammyton who are repeatedly getting caught in dumb positions.  Moon getting really mad lol.
Hammy wishing he had picked one of the two heroes he can actually play, Legionaire or Dev.

LATE
Wac having a solid game on Valk and getting it done but nothing special. 
Moon is out of control.  Has blink and is picking kids off everywhere.  There is no better way to knock the nerd strats off the table and break up their organization than by playing with big aggression and confidence like this.  Man of the match easily.
Solid play by QQdyn on Madman, got his Shrunken head, but too much feed by Tort and Nymphora for him to have an impact.
DRD wipes map, pushes and GG 46-28.

THOUGHTS
Lets take a moment and discuss… Nymphora is a crap support hero.  It’s so hard not to feed with this piece of junk.
Compare it to Voodoo Jester and they both have AOE heals and stuns, but VJ’s stun is way easier to land and works better most of the time unless there’s a bunch of creeps around
Other than that Nymphora just has that mana skill and a gimmicky ultimate that can maybe make you some good plays if you are really organized and the other team is dumb.
Instead of that junk, VJ gets two more hero killing skills and a way better attack animation.
Now lets talk about Myrmiddon.  This hero has a good damage/stun skill, and that really good AOE disable/damage spell that rips up trilanes.  This is just the type of stuff you want to win lanes and make big plays.
Now what is bad about support heroes in general?  They die a lot, especially if your team is losing, just like that Tort and Nymphora last game.  Well look here, Myrm has a spell that leaps him out of battle just so forget about feeding.  And his ultimate makes him a huge tank so hes gonna be more annoying to kill than Blacksmith, and when you finally do get him low he’s just gonna blink out anyway.
Most support heroes: big in lane, big in team battles, but easy to kill
Myrm: big, big, big
