I think it varies alot, I know FinestHour plays on first few pages. I tend to play there, but I also stack with alot of people that aren't as good, pretty regularly :X. Overall the thread ranges quite a bit.

Everyone on TL is pro level, what kind of silly question is that

jkjk, I think most of the main posters in here are around high/very high. There are a few guys who play in high level first page stacks as well. Most of my games are around high/very high, depending on whether I am with good friends or bad friends,etc.

Yeah, the skill level varies a lot. For me, it varies like crazy since I play with a large variety of friends.

Which is sad.

Recently got put into very high, then MMR went batshit insane and overrated me massively. I think I'll drop down soon.

I seem to get med-high normally and with friends i play with, very high. So depending if i play alone or with friends, high-veryhigh.

Not that my skill is anywhere near the real "high-veryhigh", i'd say though. But i manage. Playing support is fun, as long as you have players who can do their job. :-)

Most of the truly active posters find themselves in the "very high" MM bracket, which isn't saying much. The problem with dota is that there really isnt (IMO) clear skill "tiers" so much as there is a MASSIVE gradient. And lets be honest, there are far too many different elements to dota to have real clear ratings for most players.

Or at least, that is how I generally feel about Dota. There are always 6 different things one can improve at at any given time, and terrible pubs can always surprise you with a big play/ intelligent decision/ general achievement.

I've been looking to play with people again now that I have more time for Dota. I play high/very high atm (mostly high). I'm game to play with any range of skills tbh, I generally am very casual about pubbing but I do quite enjoy the 4-5 stack tryhard mode. My dotabuff profile is not the most impressive, I spent a large majority of my time playing c9/team scrims for a number of months.

Also, I'm pretty fucking awesome with Enchantress.

I think they can't decide on her design, as they keep changing it. I can see her getting pushed back even further at this rate.

Also agreed on what you are saying about skill.

Actually, yeah pages can be a decent decider of skill, but usually its hard to find oneself if you aren't almost front-page.

Like, I was page 6 last night, and I had FnaticRC`whitebeard on my team so... I be he was hauling our rating up quite a bit.

Although our omni went bottle first solo mid into naked midas (bottle + midas no boots/tp/stats) and was 2 levels behind opposing panda mid at 10 mins . So maybe he was bringing down the rating.

Tornado EMP is all invoker needs.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

eh i know all the spells well enough and can go qw or qe. this afternoon i just seemed to fuck everything up, invoking ghostwalk by accident, not doing combos correctly, being horribly out of position a lot, losing mid to a sniper (I didn't die but let him get way too much farm etc). just really fucking awful play. thankfully i played with a chill team who weren't too down on me!
