I am well aware of that. That still shouldn't put me against 400 win stacks. As I said. If I play a team full of 50-60 win people. That would be completely all right with me. I can accept that. Hell even 100 wins. I don't care. At least we have a chance of winning by good team coordination.

Stop win counting, it doesn't mean anything, SMH.
This. It doesn't have a bearing on the ELO rating of individual players or the given teams.
pillow has a million wins because he is the best player '3'
Having players that played around 800 h against players that knpw about 10 heroes accounts for nothing?
Jesus, I already said that my main account has no problems with MM.
I don't care if I play against players that have 200 wins more. Because once you have played a certain amount, it doesn't matter anymore.
But stop trying to tell me win count doesn't matter when we are talking about players with less than 10 games played in total.

I hope not. Because then all the trash furions who jungle for 30 minutes would all be very high.
lol I didn't mean literally CS but like they take different stats like those and calculate who you should be fighting.
If the matchmaking in Dota works anything like the matchmaking in Starcraft, the skill level of the players you get matched with is extremely variable in your first 5 games. You can easily be playing a diamond or masters player if you win the first 3 or 4 of your 5 placement games.
Maybe Dota has a similar system that isn't as clearly broadcast as it is in Starcraft.

I can get behind this, wins are the best!
There are players that are so bad that they're below average even after spending hundreds of hours playing the game.
I can't tell you much about valve's matchmaking(cause they keep it so secret). However, I don't need any information about how mm works to say that wins don't mean shit. People start the game at different levels of expertise, plus they learn at different rates. Even if wins could somehow correlate to player skill dota 2 doesn't even count the number of games played; wins don't even count time spent in bot games or lobbies.

Had such a great laugh in the neogaf dota chat. Good stuff.
Talking about that dumb argument?
Mostly newbies, some hardcore players but we're all nice except 1.09 and puppetyuber (who is banned RIP).

caveat, everyone is nice when you win. Lose and hell hath no fury like a gaffer scorned

It's a dota ritual, lose a game sacrifice a player.
I'm the nicest person ever '3'
Happened the other day. A certain someone from GAF fed hard like a champ prompting another gaffer in our stack to DC from rage. I love you guys but not even an almighty GAF stack can save people from bad play. Cut that shit out lol.

It's true, everyone says 109 is mean but he's always super nice wtf.
Or just stop being a dick, everyone plays bad sometimes. I treat dota like half moba/half Buddhist monk training simulator, gotta control that rage.
So VGL is starting up in a sec. Some Dota 2 music will be on, though I'm not sure when. There were rumors of unseen footage being there.

in addition to what kirbs said, manta style will dispell most buffs off of you when you use it.
Your friend bromiknight will dispell it (honestly think he's criminally underrated by most players), legion commander and nerif will as well.

I saw it, really cool. Image quality wasnt that good because of the stream but it was nice. Any idea if that was on a new map?
It looked just like the normal map, only from different views.
He said it was from the documentary. Wasn't that coming out for TI3?

There has to be a youtube rip up already right?
Is it in this archive? Can someone timestamp it?

I like it Kirbs.
Still need to make mine and fill in all those predictions. Will probably buy a couple extra team slots as well.

Small preview of the SB set I'm working on:

I'm shooting to have this set + two dire weapons done within the week. the couriers are still being animated, so they will come later!

I hope the effect is nice.
My problem with SB sets is that they are all dark armors. I would like someone to mix it up a bit.

Dat chibi sb.
Fine, damn fine, have an upvote!
You aren't forced to do that at all, its just a suggestion from Valve.
im not so sure, a couple days ago i (300 wins) was playing with a friend(200 wins) and a new player from gaf (10 wins) and we were matched up against teams with no one higher then 10 wins... it was a ridiculous stomp in our favor...
then we do one more game, same thing except now they have 2 guys with 80 wins. still a stomp.
the match making really shouldn't have put us with people in the lvl of the new guy, it just makes it not fun for anyone.
Was a bit sad to find out the premier league wasn't set up to have the twitch views count :/

Already got that a month ago by trading my lvl 1, 10 views set + 3 rares to someone's hacked lvl3 100views set.
Why would you trade for a hacked set instead of supporting e-sports '3'
Damn, what a man.

Well from the looks of the post, money was paid - just didn't watch the shitty Blaze-cast games.
