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.

Have been losing all games in ranked honestly, feeling like playing against stacks with random ppl that are actually worse than the pub level I played before ranked. Maybe should find a stack to play because this feels so lame, games are not even close just total beatdown.

Not satisfied with the drafting too, because we get captain who is fastest clicker and doesnt even want to hear opininons most of the time. Think there should be a voting system for captain or something similar.

And how would a voting process allow you to decide which of the other 4 players should be your captain?

Stacks would ruin that, also everyone wants to be a hero.

Doesnt have to be voting, maybe highest rated player should draft or something else than who can click fastest .

The problem with this is that the highest rated player might very well be a shitty drafter... or simply dislike doing it.

Don't ever play CM or CD without full stack.

I'm one game from completing my 10 solo calibration games.

Overall match quality has been a definite improvement from unranked. All games featured balanced team compositions, albeit some were a bit greedy (not too bad considering pub environment I guess). Almost constant ward coverage on maybe 7 out of the 9 games. The 150 game minimum is also cutting back on noobs with inflated MMR due to oversensity of Valve's antismurf system.

Some negative points: about half of the matches were huge stomps by the midgame, and the wait-until-creeps-spawn-to-counterpick bullshit is really annoying. I hope Valve fixes AP for ranked matches, since the queue for CM/CD is not viable at the moment (too long and produces more unbalanced games).

I think stacks of 2/3/4 players shouldn't be allowed to play ranked MM. Either solo or full 5 men stack.

AP is not better, against stacks it is still worse than CM/CD. In CM/CD, there is still a chance to have a sensible line-up.

Solo ranked against stacks is the real problem here imo.

I played 8 solo ranked so far. The only obvious differences from normal MM I found are:
- People wait to counterpick more often.
- Usually there is at least 1 guy who tries to communicate, with various results.
- More whining than usual.

There's a large variability in skill in ranked mm I've found. Had a game with me and another guy at 4k ish and then three at 2k ish. Was a close game but our main carry was a gyro played by one of the 2k ish guys. At a critical fight at their base, he just ran in with rapier/aegis, died twice and lost us the game. Probably unavoidable to have only games with close skill levels, but with no solo queue option it's unavoidable. Still, it sucks when people with low skill levels decide to ninja captain spot and then proceed to pick the most retarded team ever because it works at their skill level.

This. What happends in CM or CD is that everybody starts whining about which hero they want, if you want to choose urself u should not play C-mode anyway! C-mode without stack sucks and it allways ends up someone being a bitch because hes playing a hero he doesnt really know how (becuz capt didnt ask) or becuz he doesnt want to (which is worse).

Anyone else find it a bit silly that "Ranked" mode has all pick? At least it should have some sort of modified AP such that it doesn't become a waiting game to see who can counterpick best. Maybe you can pick your hero, but the other team can't see it, and picks are locked in at 0:00. Alternatively, do it like random draft where both sides take turns selecting their hero.

Anybody else not read the last 40 pages of thread?

Ok maybe not 40 but everybody has agreed that it is awful for at least 10 pages :/

Around 4K MMR, people still pick storm solo hard lane as the last pick in AP. No need to say they fail hard.

Random draft is best when solo. A tiny portion so most dont play there best hero, but enough choice to try a make it a good match. Best games ive have had going solo was in RD!!
