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. | ||

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. My team had a early Broodmother pick then other team picked Earthshaker later. I didn't think too much about it for most of the game since Broodmother never took part in teamfights but when we we're about to break their base Broodmother was around and Earthshaker slam dunked 100 spiders and most of our team and game got turned around. Although I'm probably more annoyed by my own team taking ages to pick and then doing utterly retarded last picks, I wouldn't mind picking that support or whatever we need and playing it to my best ability if people actually picked before the game starts. | ||

For every winner, there is exactly one loser. Your 15-1 streak means that others were losing more than they were winning. If the matchmaking algorithm had mis-evaluated your MMR then a 15-1 streak makes sense but it also means that your opponents lost a lot of games  . Therefore MM can't be "easier" now. You aren't against bots. You can't have suddenly most people winning an absurd amount. | ||

Like playing solo vs stack means you get compensated with lower MMR players I believe, so maybe solo queue got a bit easier? Though I'm sure I've gotten a bit better from playing mostly ixdl. | ||

Playing and improving in a non-matchmaking environment would indeed make matchmaking easy since it believed you were your old MMR despite you actually improving from IXDL (which it obviously can't take into account). | ||

I did lose like 7 inna row or something last night, really tanked my MMR. But i think 4400 is pretty high, i am by no means amazing at the game, but i feel good about my skills, and my MMR is only 3500, so i assume you are damn good! haha. Also, i think im only going to play CM mode, All Picks are just a joke for me at this point, even if i last pick, its 4 carries, and ill support as hard as i can, but it can only do so much with bad drafts. Frankly, i dont know how im being placed with these people, i thought my MMR would be high enough to where people are at least semi competent, even in CM mode, at my MMR, you should not be picking 5 fucking carries! Sorry for the QQ, ranked is really getting to me passed few days. | ||

Dont even talk to me about the draft.....because it was horrid.....this MMR just make me feel more shit about myself since I real how shit my MMR is after losing 15 gameish playing with my lower MMR friends. I am within 3000-4000 MMR since that what I am getting after talking to everyone I played with. | ||

I had a Kunkka yelling at me til he was blue in the fact to initiate as Undying because he didn't know how to x combo anything, and I also had a 4 stack listening to me when I was their random and they didn't blame me for everyone else's mistakes. That was nice. | ||

Theres too much variables in a dota game with 10 players It is incredible more easy in sc were it is only 2 players I think Valve is doing a decent job and that their MMR system is quite solid | ||

Any reports on how much it changes each game (ballpark)? I never cared about bw/sc2 laddering... but I am hesitant to play ranked games on Dota for some reason. Worried it'll take some of the fun out of it and I'll want to actually play my good heroes instead of whoever I want. | ||
