considering the hero dmg is what helps calibrate mmr, wouldn't rushing aghs on natures prophet be the same concept?

ive played with OP

ur just as bad as TBD zeus spammers, look at your recent games where you deal like 2k hero dmg in 1 hour long games and the choice of ur items make u look like a fucking moron

i bet if i ask 4 random friends from my friend list and link ur steam they'd be like "yeah i dodge this guy lolz"
however u do make a great point, acc buyers, BOOSTED PLAYERS such as yourself and zeus/spectre tbd spammers should get fucking banned

Wish I'd get to recalibrate my main account instead of getting a smurf and then playing zeus.

I've just got my calibration on little above 5.1k playing all games with centaur. Won 9 out of 10 but I hoped for higher mmr, wonder if I could get higher if I would play zeus 10 times and win probably like 5 games only?

I've also played with him and imo it's ok. Maybe 200-300 rating too high. Item choices are questionable in some of his games, thats true.

I think you're just mad because you lost again with a Zeus on your team. Also, I know you're smurfing a lot yourself, so just stfu you fucking autist. Cancer kid coming here and flaming people that make a valid point.

If higher hero damage means higher MMR, then I'm not really following the logic of OP's lower hero damage = BOOSTED PLAYER such as himself. But generally that discussion seems best left to the frustrated prepubescents.

Interesting to know that that's how smurf detection works, though. I've wondered how a smurf of mine got bumped to very high even though the winrate on the account was atrocious.

i have 3 accs that i play occasionally on, why do i get warned but this is acceptable? theres nothing valid about OP when he is playing worse than TBD zeus spammers in every game.

so cute and adorable how you try to defend OP (Crystal Maiden) in this match http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/934110548. let me guess, he choose to play CM and troll around for 1 hour because razor was TBD?
much amaze

You're getting warned for this part exactly. This thread is for addressing the OP's points. If you think you have seen the OP abusing something then you can state so (ideally with evidence) but attacking things like his item choices and calling him a fucking moron is unnecessary.

I don't think you are getting the point. He said it is fine to state your opinion and link the dotabuff and say he is worse than TBD players, just not in the manner that you did it. We have strict rules across the TL network (TL/LD/LH/LP), and calling someone names and attacking them in an argument is against one of those rules.

How can you distinguish smurfs from appropriately rated players who are having a bad game? Aditionally I'm surprised that you encounter them so much, based on my experiences I would estimate my ratio to be 90/10, but then again I don't really pay too much attention to this type of thing.


I agree. I don't immediately assume someone is smurfing just because one of the teams got trashed.

OP seems like an exaggeration. Even so, they patched it today.

Right, because the patch stops TBD players from picking zeus

While I also noticed an increase in TBDs and Zeuses last few days in 5k+ mmr, honestly most of the times I cant see a difference between them and others. Im pretty sure mid TBD Zeus has had >50% win ratio in my games at least.

And why exactly is OPs skill/mmr in being discussed here? He could be an account buyer + mmr cheater + whatever else for all I care, the TBD/Zeus/Smurf/etc issue/discussion is just as real anyway. Delete those posts really, not because they tone they're written in but because they're completely off topic. Make your own blog if you wanna discuss player X's mmr.

They match you against people with similar amount of games, atleast to an extent. I got two accounts. both at 5.3-5.5k. The games on the smurf (100ish games total) are of a substantually lower quality than the old account's.
