You have been dodging games? - Games

Yes, you have been dodging games on dota 2? and how many time? The result of dodging a game is effective. [url]http://dev.dota2.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10293&d=1350044040[/url] It means if you queue for matchmaking and get on a team who has like 100-300 wins you leave and play other. if you have a game when your team haves 500-1000 wins you stay. (this is possible with the system that leave early with no stats , and you don't get a lose for leaving). your team can be a crap and have like 50 wins at least and other team can have over 800 you leave from that game and save a headache, leaving the game in nothing. CLG.lacoste dodge games too. [url]https://dotabuff.com/matches/49596870[/url] 2nd game) Absolute fail, total noobs in my team - [B]a game that i didn't dodge[/B].

I have no fucking clue what is going on in this thread.

Basically what happens is, if someone loads in really quick, they check their teammates match counts. If it's below a certain threshold, they leave so they don't have to play with someone who has 200 games while they have 800+.

"Below a certain threshold" What the fuck? I always checked out people's Dota2 profiles when loading (I usually load fast) and fucking "dodging" them never even crossed my mind.

i love how in the game you didnt dodge, they had someone from CLG

CLG, Na'Vi or fucking Pajkatt, I wouldn't mind playing with or against them. It's just that I would have to play tons more to even reach their matchmaking level.

I only do this when something ridiculous happens, like my team filled with dudes with ~30 wins while the other team got 600+ on all of them. This already happened.

Why would you even do this. Take the game like a man, you might even win.

no i don't since i don't play, unless i have a full party.

What's the point of dodging? If you don't play just because there's a chance of losing you can't really get better, and isn't DOTA all about getting better?

Also, why is OP so assuming that we have been dodging games?

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;38118701]Also, why is OP so assuming that we have been dodging games?[/QUOTE] Because he does it and is probably trying (and failing) to prove that he is not a douche for doing this.

I remember queuing up and checking my team's profiles, they all literally had under 50 wins and I had about 400 around the time I had this game. They blew my mind with how well they played and even though we lost in the end I couldn't even try to blame them. I always call idiots on their bullshit when they instantly start telling you your own stats when the game goes south, trying to find some abstract reason as to why he lost.

Since the last patch it doesn't let you check people's dota profiles during matches. Steam profile checking still works though

Steam profile tells nothing except the hours in Dota2, unless private. So it seems that Valve disabled it.

Thats like the only thing to do when the games paused... :(

I only check steam profiles to see if we all speak english most people haven't even set up their profiles or are brazilian/russian/etc

No no, the trick to finding russians is to wait for them to shout at you in russian, which they'll be glad to do the second you wrong them in any way.

[QUOTE=CharlesMan;38134534]No no, the trick to finding russians is to wait for them to shout at you in russian, which they'll be glad to do the second you wrong them in any way.[/QUOTE] Hell I had a match a while ago where a russian shouted at me for saving him from a gank, ganker had 80% health left, ruski had like 3%, I chrono'd the ganker, without hitting him, the first thing he does? run back into the chrono and get stuck, even though he was running the other way.

Someone really needs to make a "predict the outcome" game using Valve's Dota API. The game randomly chooses a match and then shows you a bunch of stats for the players on each team. You get how many wins and losses each player has, their favorite heroes, their average gpm over all games played, and so on. If you can predict which team won, you win a point. Otherwise you lose a point. You don't get any information whatsoever about the actual match in question. Obviously, since Dota's matchmaking is so perfect, you should be getting an overall score of zero. After all, the matchmaker wouldn't arrange a game that a casual observer could tell is one sided.
