I saw a bunch of scoreboard screenshots from international ranked and I'm amazed at the MMR difference, even when there's no parties present. I also saw some games where the MMR difference was greater than 2000 between players, is that bugged or was the restriction removed?
[QUOTE=Yahnich;50484740]yeah it's a holdout gamemode, im currently focusing on reworking the hero killer heroes to be more useful like antimage, slark etc because the others are fine with lazy reworks for now[/QUOTE]
if the creeps use spells, antimage could silence on hit instead of drain mana?
or his ult is an AoE silence and his attack modifier does damage based on number of spells used recently around him, gaining charges similarly to magic wand

since creeps probably don't have stats Slark's essence shift could just be reworked into a direct damage steal similar to Razor's static link

Not enough players queuing for international ranked. I don't understand how people are STILL asking these questions. The matchmaker can't magically summon players.
International ranked was a bad idea anyway the games are super low quality
Should have just offered a yearly voluntary recalibration if players wanted it. Make it say like you calibrated at xxxx this year would you like to change your mmr to that? Y/n
I think my team was kind of terrible this match: [url]http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2425258603[/url]
:suicide:
RIP Na'Vi
At least they got in Top 8 and are going to be invited(???) to TI6

uh I'm asking because I was under the impression that people who had a difference of more than 2000 mmr couldn't get matched together? or maybe that was for parties only and never realised
[QUOTE=Yahnich;50489478]silence on hit would be too strong, it'd essentially stop any boss creep from doing anything; i like the magic wand idea though although it'd make antimage slightly reliant on having casters on your team. slark's essence shift has already been reworked to that i mostly need something to replace pounce with right now because leashing one creep isn't particularly useful and that ability is insanely convoluted to rewrite (ive tried and failed)
[editline]10th June 2016[/editline]
that's only for parties so 6ks can't group with 2ks for like 3k stomps[/QUOTE]
you can't make the leash AoE?
You could make Pounce an evasion skill, when Slark takes a big hit from an enemy he evades the damage and pounces backwards to safety. Each level would reduce cooldown/increase the chance for this.
I was gonna recommend just giving it a charge based system so you can either cover large parts of the map or leash multiple targets by using several charges in a row
[editline]10th June 2016[/editline]
or keep one target leashed a long time in exchange for your mobilty

That would be a neat and douchey scepter upgrade

Leash doesn't matter if the target is just gonna fight back, which the AI enemies will do.
Who do you guys think will win TI6?
I think it will be OG, Fnatic, or Newbee
I dunno having a matchmaking pool where you can get paired up with whoever (and you know about it and are consenting to it) sounds kinda neat
Too bad there's a paywall behind it
Playing with better players would condition me to play better (and encourage me to hold my own weight) but I don't have friends better than me I can regularly play with
I have one but he doesn't play very often (few times a week maybe)...

My experience was pretty shit, games were mostly one sided,
and one thing I find enraging when it comes to parties: a duo with a 2k and a 4k, the former picks a core and proceeds to be deadweight, latter picks a support or a hero that doesn't scale and becomes useles when the game extends. Like god damnit, if you are playing with a lower rating I assume you want to help them win, and I will sound like a huge no fun tryhard here, but if you want to have fun and fuck around a bit, there's always unranked.
Party ranked is and will always be a complete joke at every level

Can I get some feedback on my invoker if it doesnt trouble anyone?

There used to be TRUE solo queue, but I can't remember if it was avaliable for ranked.

They can't party together but they can still get matched together.

Quite possibly 'that' hero for this patch
LS and Slark are the current Meta hype in my experience

[QUOTE=jechtman;50482678]For those still thinking the Lina game is based off physics or whatever, hover your mouse over the points at the bottom. You'll see hovering text indicating they're 'common', 'uncommon', 'rare', 'very rare' and 'ultra rare'. It's literally using the treasure drop system so be glad you're at least not getting the uncommon 100 points.
Most of you guys already know this, but some still don't.[/QUOTE]
It's a completely rigged gamble game, much like slot machines are rigged. It triggers the same mechanisms, the only way to "win" is not to care and not to invest anything.
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;50496126]My main problem with Lifestealer is not that he is strong. It's the fact that people still take him to jungle.[/QUOTE]
Iron Talon+Open Wounds be pretty chill, yo.
Not condoning it, but Iron Talon is a jungle enabler in itself.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;50493121]do you [I]have[/I] to bring their nationality into this? it's not like they're the only ones pulling greedy stuff when it comes to this sorta thing[/QUOTE]
Hey man, can I borrow your Hakobi and Tenneko?
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;50484045]How many intentional feeders, ragers and tilters you guys get in your games on average? I feel like every other game I have one and that doesn't seem normal. I'm at about 3,5k mmr points.[/QUOTE]
Only get one or two ragers every now and then.
Never get intentional feeders strangely.
Bat rider confuses me.
