So I just got Dota2 for myself today(played around 10 games on my friend account along time ago). I got some noob questions

How is this match making work? I mean after 3 games(won all of them) I got match with people that have like 500 wins. It doesn't seem fair. Also, there are alot of items you can get outside of the game, are these gonna boost your stats in game?

occasionally you may win a fight because the enemy is busy looking at how cool your hero is decked out, instead of casting his spells at your team.

it's pretty hazy on the matchmaking, but in general it tries to match you against people of your skill level. when you only have 10 games played it's possible to be fairly off the mark. ie: you could've got really lucky with an amazing team won a ton of games and had good performances and it might think you are better than you are.

number of games is fairly irrelevant in judging skill, just because someone has played a lot doesn't mean they're better than you. trust me, there's a lot of morons out there with 500+ ames played lol

Man meepo is a fucking amazing hero. I barely played the guy back in dota1, but never one to back down for a challenge, I've been picking him up now for dota 2.
I played 6 games vs bots just to get a hang of jungle stacking patterns, poof/blink dagger combos, ensnare delay and stuff like that, then jumped right into playing vs others.

So far I've been going mid, starting with 2 tangos, 2 branches, 1 ring of protection and a salve. Rushing tranquil boots, using my second clone to stack hard camp+kill easy camp, rush blink dagger, then dissamble boots into mek + threads, then go bsasilius --> vlads with pipe/ac to finish of.

When I hit 11, got dagger and mek, I start a ganking/pushing spree and try to carry with that. twice it worked, once I couldnt finish at my peak and last game we just got owned.

I must admit this has been one of the funniest dota days just playing this hero, even thought I'm not exactly mindblowingly good or anything. Feel free to give me some tips that might make me better!

Hey guys I have a quick question about dota 2,

Is there a rating system? If so how do we see what we are rated at? My friends and I continue to play with scrubs, and im just wondering if no matter how many wins we get we will just continue to stay in the same bracket

EDIT: My mistake, just read a few posts up and someone asked the same question

Honestly I see no reason why you should need Tranquil's on Meepo. Regen isn't all that useful on Meepo because you have the mobility to poof home, heal, and come back out anyway, whereas the extra survivability you can squeeze out of Treads are absolutely critical.

Not quite true, some things interact very differently. Spectre's dagger, some orb effects stack/ all buff placers do (skadi stacks with lifesteal on melee as well. Mjolnir/Maelstrom override other orb effects, geminate attack works with orbs on the initial attack) , linkens blocks stuns that are ground targeted, phase boots no longer cancel crit. Those are some of the larger things.
For a full list :

Just feels like investing into ring of regen and a ring protection early grants me the stayability to be in lanes or jungles permanently early game without having to take that path back to base. As easy as it is, before 11 it will either lose you a lane or jungle presence, and I feel like buying those two items I will need later regardless prevents that problem.

Since I don't really fight all that much before dagger anyways, I dont think threads can keep me alive more than topped of hp from tranq boots does. It's also a cheaper pair of boots, so gets me the dagger earlier for involvement.

Atleast those are my reasons to do it, might be completely stupid ><

Well you can tranq and disassemble them into vlads later. Treads are really great on meepo, same is vlads and mek

Since you're going to be making Vlads eventually you could just open tranquils for early laning, disassemble, and then get treads/vlads.
