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.

What if it's a new account of an experience player?

That's exactly what Valve doesn't in the ranked pool, i.e smurfs

I see.

You have to play 150 games before being able to play ranked. Pretty big investment of time for a smurf account.

Good for you

But 99% of the people crying for ranked MM will be faced against the same peeps as they were before. People overestimate there skills to much. U wont be put in the serious section or never reach it. Someone will still pick CM and not buy the wards/donkey whole game and get a better kda then u. U will still flame the bitch and try to forget that she had a better kda to start with, and u as a player basically sucked that game.. so painfull, we try not to see certain facts and our own mistakes! haha

#true-story-for-most-players


THIS. Totally agree. Although one would hope that people would be more sane everyone will probably still have the "I don't want to support noobs" idea.

I don't agree with this at all. Maybe in few coming months, this is possible to happen. But not in the long run. People will realize that proper playing of their role will result in better win rate and adjust accordingly. Of course you will have idiots, but much lower chance to get them compared to present.
are they lost forever?

You obviously haven't played many games with ranked match-making...

it would be epic to search for games depending on your role.

tick boxes like "Mid, Jungle, Support..." and be paired up with a good mix of people, instead of shite picks.
or just make it CM and CD only. but I'm still not convinced by ranked AP.

I dont care about my MMR at all. When we are put together ur gonna have a bad time if i try my famous CM carry build over and over.

I like the idea from picking a role but since the gamestrats change, i dont think is viable. Playes should find there own teamstrats. We allready have the picture to place urself in a lane. It should suffice.

It would be nice, but has the obvious problem of many heroes being able to be played in different roles.

Or what about people that want to duo mid? how do you determine teams that want to trilane? If every game was 1 carry 1 off laner 1 mid 1 support 1 jungler it would be fucking awful, i don't see such a system ever truly working.
There are too many variables for it to be effective and good. And nothing prevents people from still picking a team that is awful even with such a system.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

It unlocks at level 13, so if you had >150 games in beta, but less than rank 13, you are screwed my friend (I have 200 games but only like 75 since beta)

Playing support has been great for my winrate, but terrible for my DSR.

This is clearly going to correlate in ranked matchmaking.

Loved this thread.

Couple of things.

DRD played SK Gaming once with Testie on it. WaC (probably one of the very best all-around HoN players ever) absolutely buried Testie's FA alive with Soul Stealer, back when we had WaC and Moonmeander` on the team.

1-0 there. Cold stomp.

Played against his Panda in a game. Basically, you have just know how the testie stack works. Would call to go 'fake gank' Testie, his entire team would Tp in, we'd just walk away. Anyway, beat him again on his stream. Testie would have a fit if I joined any game after being appropriately dumpstered hardcore. He faded from HoN inhouses and become 'the best' HoN player and started making a business model.

the best hon player's' going rate 15/hr.

My company hired one of the best engineering database architects in the business, roughly 500/hr, and we ended up paying him over 175k in a few months for a design implementation.

There are so many more aspiring things to be the best in. Sadly, gaming isn't one of them, and everyone in this topic, but testie (hence force known as 'Chump Change'), has the luxury of leaving their own computer and aspiring to things past gaming.

You can log into chump change's stream at any time and see him gaming on a smurf with some 'customers'. Livin' the life, chump change. Everyone has other ladders they wanna climb, notably one called real life, chump change.

So cool down there. No one is impressed with your curriculum vitae of gaming but yourself.


You're still around? I figured you went out with HoN. Testie is a mannered member of our site, and we don't need the drama here.

Probably not. Unless they "scale" accounts that have high numbers of games played but very low levels.
