I'm gonna take Monday off for this... I have been playing dota since something like ... 2008. So yeah at some point random match making is not fun anymore in a e-sport focused game. I don't get why people say that ladder is not a main concern in this game. Do you imagine W3 or SC2 without ladder ? NO, then why DOTA2 should be different ? There is a reason why the pro player I watched in the MYM/SK era are still the same one that are competing today : it's because there is no easy way for players to start playing comp games. And I don't think things like going to a invite league full of retarded BM player who think they are all the next Yaphets or Dendi or switching to ShitLeague of retard as was suggested in an other post is a good option to start player interest in playing serious DOTA and growing the pro scene. | ||

IXDL is perfect for You, if You're looking for ranked games, so why not giving it a shot? If it comes to me, I don't really care about ladder system. | ||

Hell it's funny that you'd mention games like SC2, the majority of the playerbase only played the campaign and don't give a fuck about match-making. | ||

RTZ, there are new players coming into the scene. | ||

It's more active than NA, you can tell that just from glancing at the ladder rankings (the top NA player would be in the 20s on the EU ladder). | ||

So if you're in low-priority, you can't just wait it out, you have to play games to make it expire??? wtffff Time to fire up the mass alt accounts then :/ | ||

I'll never stop doing this. Ideally valve would remove LPQ for abandoning games, and let people who don't feel like finishing their current game simply leave and find a new one, you know, like every other online multiplayer game they've made before this. That doesn't seem to be a plan for the forseeable future though, so I have no option but to use workarounds like mass smurfing. | ||
