I heard, you want to kill me. Lets say thats a bit hard now.

Really tempted to bet 4 rares on Dignitas against Na'Vi because I've been making a lot of bad decisions recently

Wheres the fun in gambling without risks?
Bet 4 rares that you won't even use, it won't feel bad if you lose them, if you win you get 16 rares in return. And Dignitas is a good team too.

[OutOfExile2]

I'd totally do it if Dignitas wasn't playing like shit recently
If it was Liquid I would

[Sammun]

I played dazzle again, I was really underleveled (level 9 at 20 mins) but I still could help in every teamfight
It's also nice that your carry isn't a retard that just jumps 1 vs 5 and expects to be saved every time

I wanna bet, but the fucking bot won't trade me, it won't accept my trade requests either

I managed to get a rampage with Tibersaw

Oh god it is so satisfying killing heroes with him

[Ignoritus]

Does anyone still have that chart that shows what items give what stats? Like, it had a category akin to "INT/STR: Necronomicon"?

well against a razor with blademail and sny, a slark whose only valuable item is skadi, an enigma building a refresher before bkb or really any useful not-blink dagger items, a necrolyte getting mek when enigma probably already had one and a bloodstone when his super cool earlygame item is already the mek, and a dk rushing ac before a bkb or lifesteal or armlet or hell SOMETHING

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;40714503]Everytime I post that the matchmaking is really fucking broken, all I get is dumb ratings. Am I seriously the only person here who gets matched up with the worst possible teammates pretty much all the time? Or is everyone else here a bunch of pubstomping 5-manners who have never experienced the shit I live through to get to play this game?[/QUOTE]

in my bristleback game earlier

there was an invoker with 3 wins and one of the enemy players (can't remember who) had 2 wins

so matchmaking is definitely fucked in some way

if you're getting matched with them, you're either nearly as bad or just as bad as them

I get it too, don't worry

also you're probably completely ignoring every match where your team mates aren't retarded because that kind of shit doesn't stick in your mind

For me solo matchmaking is ultra broken.

Took me 10 good minutes to find a match and in the end I got a stack of br guys in my team. They didn't blow our game but it was hard to play as teammates.

They really need to fix solo matchmaking

Funny thing is that lately i tend to win more without a full party

solo matchmaking

[OutOfExile2]

Surprisingly, it is not easy for a team with no carries to beat a PL
Not sure why the fuck the last guy picked Nyx when I was picking Shadow Demon

[itzpanda]

Do you guys think we're going to get a blog post and our hud today?

[Swiket]

[QUOTE=Jrock455;40714838]Do you guys think we're going to get a blog post and our hud today?[/QUOTE]

Blog post probably, since it's the start of the Eastern Qualifiers. HUD, maybe.

NEVERMIND FIGURED OUT THE INVOKER WAS A SMURF

so he's not a shit player
but he's a shitty person

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;40714888]I'm not Dendi, Chuan or any of the pro players, but I'm also not bad at the game. [I]I'm good.[/I] Seriously.

It's probably common to think so, but in my case, it's not like that, honestly. Winning doesn't mean that, for example, my teammates carry TPs. The magnitude of the 'retardness' in my team and the enemy team varies greatly from game to game, but one thing is certain: Too often they are well below me in terms of skill.
But I'm not denying that I've met good players, it just really doesn't matter.

I probably sound really elitist but I don't really care because I tend to leave that impression on people anyway. Another mystery to accompany Dota 2's matchmaking system.

edit: the weird lurker is rating my posts about the matchmaking dumb, yet again
maybe some day he will stop being a silent valve fanboy and tells us why my opinion about the matchmaking is dumb[/QUOTE]

My experience with matchmaking:

4 out of 5 times when I lose, it is because there is this one guy on my team who was a huge dumbass.
1 out of 5 times I am that dumbass.

Is it REALLY so goddamn hard for you to admit you're wrong sometimes or are you too fucking dense?

for me it's something more like 2/5 and 3/5

im serious

[sir whoopsalot]

Was jungling as Enigma today (and yes, I was mumbling the 'enigma in the jungle' song to myself all the time) when suddenly this happens.

"Missing bottom, silencer"
I see a glaive flying in my direction
"So is luna"
Scottish posterior and her cat suddenly come hopping towards me and kill me

All in the space of about 5 seconds. Felt like something out of a cartoon.
