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. | ||

Do i have to play 150 matches after the patch is released to go ranked ? right now i have 819 matches played I guess you can. Otherwise it takes a few months for most of us to reach that number. | ||

A lot of streamers do subscriber games (subs are usually way worse than the streamer), if you watch a game of them playing with subs it is usually that the streamer has to hardcarry the team or lose. i very much doubt people will intentionally queue with those worse than them in what will become the tryhard ranked mode | ||

Should have been CM, CD and RD. At least there there is some structure to the picks and its not all about who can click the button the fastest. You can't stop people doing crazy things but you can at least stop absurd team combinations being freely acquired. There's this magic button that allows you to not queue for AP... Try it out, it might make your life better! | ||

I haven't queued for AP in about nine months now. A long, long time either way, I just queue everything else instead (well, limited heroes aside). I just find it funny that its going to be one of the ranked modes when every AP game I ever played was either people desparately trying to counterpick or spamming out the FOTM heroes as fast as possible. Then everyone flaming the guy who takes "that one hero" that's just viewed as OP. Heh. | ||

Midas first ofcourse and a shadowblade is handy too! HoT to transition into late! who needs wardz anyway man.2nd, i like the idea of MMR in all random. U get a support, u try ur best at playing as a support and get points for it. If everyone gets the same %support picks, this seems legit. | ||

Also last I checked (like 2 months ago) 50% of AP players still just random. Incoming MMR flames. | ||

Well some people do, I don't know why either but still people queue it. I mean I got a couple of friends who only queue AP and maybe LH or RD. I tend to insist we only queue for RD when we queue together; really don't like AP. | ||

ap is what most people play because it takes the least time to get started and the tryhards can tryhard and the randomers can random. if you are afraid to play against heroes pickers you probably arent very skilled. | ||
