Please keep the QQ to a minimum if you do not like this update. We are happy to hear your reasoning for not liking a ranked system, but no "OMG VOLVO WHY" posts.

if you aren't 5.5k or higher, you're in the trench, you can be at the bottom or the top, but you're still trench.

Trenches need a beginning to have an end. Where is the start of the trench? How low do I need to go to get out?

Why are ppl playing AP in ranked in the first place? I think I've gotten like 2-3 AP games in ranked with CM,CD,AP modes picked.

Because playing the drafting modes with 4 randoms has very little real meaning.


I agree. Also, at sub 5kish mmr people really dont know how to draft well for the most part. Its just poorly thought out theory craft, pseudo-strategy and counters which result in the same heroes being drafted each game. And to top it off, it takes 10 years for all of that to take place before the game even starts.

The trench is the alpha and the omega. Those that have escaped have only grown out of touch with its nature. It will pull them back, down to a land without wards or understanding of how smoke ganks work.

5.5k is a good baseline, basically you've escaped the trench and you're learning how to walk on flat ground. 5.5k doesn't mean you're amazing or pro, you're just talking your first steps having recently escaped the trench. :D

I consider the end of trench when everyone has a decent idea of what their role is and how to play it.

They don't need to pick the perfect counter or fit into our current lineup. They don't need to completely outlane their opponents. They don't need to only play the imba or try-hard heroes.

In my opinion, if, at the start of the game, you rarely ponder "how the hell are we gonna lane this?", then you're already playing decent pub dota, and are out of the trenches.

You're nowhere near competitive level, and probably will never be, but I consider people that call sub 5k trenches to be "MMR hipsters".

One cannot struggle to escape the trench, you will only fall deeper. One must understand the trench and accept it. It is where you are and you cannot leave. It is where you belong, your home. One much become one with the trench and only then can one rise above it.

You are the trench.

You merely adopted the trench. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see a ward until I was already a man.

Personally I still find absolute terribad groups in 4k rating, We always seem to get people that afk/abandon every other game as well as teams that just consistently feed.

If you start out at the lower rankings in the solo queue it just feels so random, especially when you like to play supporting heroes. The outcome on the game depends on the others especially on the carries for the most part. I mean you can run around and ward and deward and do your stuff, but then you have groups who dont take advantage of it and die horribly and then you have groups who initate ganks or escape ganks just because of the wards and stuff.
Solo MMR makes you feel trapped in that trench when you start out fresh and low especially when it is your team mates on whom your survival really depends in this kind of warfare

you guys complaining about elo hell should tune into singsings stream. 6k mmr and his supports dont even know what to do against a solo bounty hunter....they just take sings xp instead of ganking,pulling or stacking.

One of those was Beesa right? "looking for gf 6K MMR" either him or a fanboy.

Well you can tell him how to play vs solo bounty when he visits this thread later then ^^
