I keep playing dota because I enjoy the experience more often than not, so I'm not going to just quit because valve decided to add more busywork to getting around the shit teams. I can damn sure complain about it though, because valve's obsession with trying to make every group of 5 strangers get along for 40+ minutes is the worst thing about the game atm.
In my experience, whenever I leave a terrible game at the 5-10 minute mark then check the replay, the rest of my team files out within the next minute, so I don't even buy into this idea that everyone likes comebacks and that leaving prematurely is "ruining the game" for them - these people are out of the game as soon as they see the opportunity, they just don't have my level of tech savvy when it comes to avoiding valve's automated punishments, so they're more skittish about being the first to leave.
Either youre a good troll, or youre just rather spoiled, im just happy that i never get to play LPQ with you since you will be there forever 
Anyway, awesome update, cant wait to see how the new spirits work, since i stopped dota1 right after they came, so its a totally new hero for me :O

It's almost like nobody wants to stack with people who regularly rage quit games. Who would've thought?
I wish cyborgmatt would stop making the hero models dance in sfm (or w/e he uses to look at them). It was funny the last 6 patches, but it's getting a little old now.

Whoever had the idea of having Ember Spirit be an agility hero and Earth Spirit a strength one must be a massive troll.
Also Storm doesn't turn into a ball anymore.

5 stacking is something I do from time to time, but it can't be done unless we're all available and willing to play, which makes it rather inconvenient.
I just want a game where I can play whenever I want, with whatever hero I feel like, and play against another team of humans to the end of the game because I want to, not because the game is trying to force me to. This used to be the standard for online public team vs. team games, and it's a damn shame that dota puts these niggling little hurdles in the way of playing it in that manner, because I really do enjoy the game mechanics themselves compared to what most online games offer.

I will be there never because I will be on point with creating smurfs to get around it. Do you comebackfags even read? :/

Thing is, totally new account's matchmaking is so low its guaranteed to bring about either completely new or just laughably bad teammates and enemies. this is genius. ragequitters are forced to smurf which yields a very high chance that they land in the exact same situations over and over again. a vicious cycle for baddies like that lavitage guy.

It looks awfully a lot like you have mistaken this place for 4chan, you should go back there.

I here there is another moba with a surrender button, you should play that. Or something else. But your clearly an entitled, selfish joke of a player who doesn't belong in team games.

Nooo, what happened to the fat mexican stormspirit?

Totally new account's matchmaking is so low that it's easy to pick a hero you're good at and go 25-0 no matter how bad your team is. And not many people know this, but during an account's first 10 or so games KDA matters a lot for determining ELO shift. If you're a front page level player, you're 5 or so curbstomps away from being right back where you were on your main.
