All in all, non-CM dota will never be "good" or "fun" for non-troll players in long term. All brackets have ruiners and most have players that are not deserved to be there. I believe we all see those players all the time. You can differentiate having a bad day from being actually significantly worse than the others. It appears in troll/smurf/etc.. forms. There is no option rather than CM to play actual dota. | ||

We'll see how it will go. I doubt any major changes will occur at this point, but if they actually shifted their ranking criteria from cs to hero damage (which I personally can hardly believe, but I haven't been around lately), then it means the system is still in the works and you can have your hopes. | ||

Whether you won or lost. That's IT. No other ingame factors should apply. Not hero damage, not k/d, not wards purchased, not game length, nothing else. The only goal of DotA is to win the game. Including all this extraneous crap punishes support players, promotes stat padding and generally fucks with the integrity of the rating system and the quality of games when people try to exploit it. | ||

Additionally he also loses heavily when we are going to compare the competitive history. He also got denied by an IXDL Admin (Hektor) who wrote this about Sephiroth: I remember you from a matchmaking game where you ruined our lanes by picking last then refusing to go woods with quite good wood hero (naix) and then spaming quite a lot during that game. I think you are really unmannered guy and that you wont be a fit in this league. This time i will be forced to deny you, next time if you reapply i wish to see 3 supports from decent vouched players. Source: ixdl.net People playing in IXDL even made a topic and complain about his attention problems when it comes to casting games so he also got kicked as a caster (didnt even know such things are possible): Imo not only is this guy a horrible player who thinks too well of himself, he's also a horrible caster. Honestly, his commentary isn't even that good, and I don't really see why he's allowed to cast these games. It just brings kinda like a bad influence over the league when the casters are assholes(not being good is understandable, but there's a difference between being a poor caster and a moron). <8:29:14 PM> sephirothvg has been unvouched by HEKTOR. Source: ixdl.net I think enough has been said. | ||

 i just think you as a player should get a better attitude and stop pulling the gg card after FB or whatever. much respect to you if you manage to improve mentality wise, edit: ive now met 3 TBD zeus spammers since the patch, i guess they made it so you cant calibrate past 5k when they could've just made zeus not pickable by TBD players altogether. | ||

if valve decided to look through statistics of how many tbd players actually picked zeus it'd probably be the most picked hero with a rate of 80% among tbds | ||

It's something you need to uphold and removing Zeus will choose have TBD abusers switch to another hero that is a near second. | ||

When problem A causes symptom B, your aim should be to fix A, not B. | ||

Anyway, I don't think it's nearly as big of an issue as you make it out to be, but lower initial calibration would be a good change. | ||

It would be much wiser to address the root of the problem, and put less of a weighting on player damage on calibration matches. We don't have the exact formula for how calibration matches work, so it's quite difficult for us to offer recommendations to the system. | ||

The problem here is that getting high hero damage inflates your calibration rating. Not that zeus is the easiest hero to get a high hero damage with. Your solution is to attack the symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. Worse still you do it with a nuke and not with a precision strike. That's great, you still haven't fixed the root of the problem so the abusers will just move onto the next best hero for the job. | ||
