Defense of the Ancients 2: General Chat XIX 6.77c Coming Soon - Games

[QUOTE=77662;39975540]Anyone know for sure? Is the matchmaking system actually legitimate or is it completely broken shit?[/QUOTE] It works but here's how it works. It bases every single person off of a hidden number. However this number applies to GENERAL SKILL. AKA, they could be ballin' when it comes to carrying, but suck the hard dick when it comes to supporting.

This game is becoming unplayable alone for me, the matchmaking keeps putting me against parties of 5 trying to immitate pro tactics (endless fucking tri-lanes and no one does anything about them) and I keep getting put with other soloers. Jesus christ why do parties get mixed with solos in matchmaking that's not remotely fair.

Speaking about matchmaking, was reading some complains about it yesterday, how matchmaking forces you to 50% winrate, and someone asked for a source about that, only reply was a link to dota dev forums and saying how all the threads about matchmaking were basically the same. Is there solid proof that you are basically forced to 50%? also wondering if the devs will change that someday

I'm always happy when I see someone with a win rate close to 50% though since it means that we haven't been skewing one way or the other in giving matches that were too hard or too easy. I totally agree with your desire to have fewer stomps though.[/quote] More on matchmaking: [URL]http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=70618[/URL]

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;39975243]It's the worst courier hands down, IMO.[/QUOTE] Welcome to the Greeviling

Greevil couriers always seem ugly to me. Just...i don't want THAT delivering my stuff. Might eat it or something. I'd prefer something like...iunno. A living tree with a chest on its head? Probably more reliable.

[QUOTE=Tokagero;39967793]Interesting choice. Also given that it's rather early pickup item due to pricetag, it sounds pretty neat. Cause honestly, Arcanes and Soulring feel wanky to me. Axe wants to use his HP to get in face of the enemies and outlive them, not harass like a little skirt-bearing mage with Hungers over river and Arcanes offer little in-face-ness as well.[/QUOTE] What's this about Arcanes on Axe? Everyone knows that anyone who plays Axe that isn't a total pussy should get Tranquils, and if having a prosperous game, BoT.

It depends what you build, Tranquils is what you build when you're definitely building a soul ring, Arcanes on top of Soul Ring may seem a bit redundant but nonetheless axe needs to fix his mana problems to ball early and if you dont have arcanes on the team you'll have to grab some yourself [editline]20th March 2013[/editline] Also you know what I haven't played in a while? One of those emotionally draining games where your whole team gets outplayed by one guy playing his hero really really well. Nobody OP, but just playing super well. I remember my first time playing against a good TA, boy that was a game

I was wondering how far should Arcana items go, and had a vision of Crystal Maiden, with icicles for hair, changed animation to a floating one (similar to Lina), added filter to her voice to give her a stronger echo, glowy eyes and other such generic "powerful mage" crap. But then I also wonder if it's not going too far, in a way it fits the character but... yeah. (also would look like AA)

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;39977072]The matchmaking system is terrible, but don't say it in this thread or the fanboys will attack you.[/QUOTE] 'fanboys' will attack people over something Valve themselves called terrible??

My personal issue with the game is that after I click "Play" after picking the hero in 99% of the clicks I freeze, time out and have to reconnect back into the game. This is how pretty much every game began for me for the last 1,5 weeks. Not really sure why that's happening.

It only crashes because 9 other players spawned into the world at the exact same moment.

Our fountain was like the Solomon of gems when we finished.

[QUOTE=Zoralback;39974129]this just happened to me [T]http://i.imgur.com/LSYljmx.jpg[/T] wat :v:[/QUOTE] wtf having game in french lol fag scrub can you surrender now pls ?

To the guy that suggested me buying Necronomicon wiwh Clockwerk: thanks Now I can actually play AND being useful. And god I could even face a phantom lancer and made him cry Also a Viper was just shouting at me and asking me how did I got my commendations being so bad. Man I wish Vipers couldn´t talk/use chat in the matches.

how can you even be "not useful" with clockwerk

[QUOTE=Maruhai;39978657]wtf having game in french lol fag scrub can you surrender now pls ?[/QUOTE] The concede button is only available with French language settings

[QUOTE=Prism;39978683]how can you even be "not useful" with clockwerk[/QUOTE] Well, having mana problem and not surviving long enough. Not having a good item build. Are those reasons enough?

[QUOTE=Petachepas;39978698]Well, having mana problem and not surviving long enough. Not having a good item build. Are those reasons enough?[/QUOTE] All you need to do is ult their carry and then use Cogs(in a teamfight), doesnt matter if you die or not, its your job to initiate, not live through fights. Everything else that you could do - kill people, tank damage, have more utility through items is all extra.

Clockwerk is the second most suicidal hero next to Techies. His job is literally to lock the biggest threat in with himself so his team can rape that guy.

Ah, 400 games.
