Also I wish they made it better than simply stating high/very high. Although I do not want HoN MMR back, i would certainly love to see SOME improval in stats over time | ||

Why not do tutorials the same way they do Greenlight/ In-game items? It seems like a pretty natural direction for their movement toward player made content. I was thinking that there could be an additional tab in the watch tab that said Tutorials. People could upvote/downvote per usual and the highest rated would go to the top. That being the main idea you could add some other things. For maybe the first 100 games a player would have a little pop up that said check out the tutorials or something to that effect. You could subscribe to certain posters and a pop up would show when they had a new video. Organize it into categories: General, Hero Specific, Funny, etc. Idk its just an idea at this point but I am curious what others have to think. | ||

But when you are being matched against the top 10 percent that are currently searching. it would be high. Also I wish they made it better than simply stating high/very high.

Now imagine if you were in the "low" pool, doesn't that sound worse than "normal"? e Also you can see where are you relative to the rest of the current pool by finding your game in the watch tab. | ||

They are about equal - Attack the other side implies there is another side, while MOBA could be FFA (although it does mention it is multiplayer). THAT'S how bad MOBA is as a term. | ||

Without remembering the exact numbers, i think it was something like normal: bottom 60%, High: next 30%, very high top 10%. Rather than the old 33/33/33. Edit: ohgodmath | ||

This is an outdated way of thinking about the game that only exists in LoL now. Getting up key support items is just as important as having your carry come online a little earlier, and that kill gold is way bigger a deal in the long run for your support who isn't actively farming. Look at any progame in dota2. It's very rare to see a kill saved for a specific hero. Hell, people often waste a nuke just for the last hit just as much as they do in pubs. | ||
