IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

I really want an Invoker announcer/megakill pack. I would really love it.

Speaking of Invoker, I almost never see this guy anymore after the nerf-hammer hit him.
Kinda sad.

Play your best

do you guys think number of wins matters in mm
because i think it does

edit: to clarify, is number of wins used by the matchmaking system to determine who else is in your game

No. I've been matched with people with 20 wins at very high MMR (and they were actually pretty good). If there is a good correlation between # of wins and high MMR well, then it's probably because you're more likely to be higher skill with more games played.

idk man

i have a account with about 40 wins
i was in very high where everybody else in the game has >300 wins and i won
but the next game it's high and everybody has <100 wins
on the same account i later consistently have games where everybody has <100 wins
it seems like too much of a coincidence to me

It does. It generally puts people with the same amount of wins together, regardless of your bracket.

He gets outlaned in the mid by most of the heroes after the dmg nerf, he is still a good pick imo.

alright so i did some research
http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=29937

From April 11th: EricTams advised that changes have been made to the matchmaking algorithms to utilize the number of games played amongst other things. Please base your views on matchmaking after this point.

it seems number of matches actually does matter

It's common knowledge that you actually tend to get people with the same amount of games together. Just do a new account and try it, you won't get people with 100+ games in your first games. Same is true in reverse. If you have 1000+ games, check your allies and enemy, they'll all have a lot of games too.

I just learned that you can actually replenish Drums by re-buying the recipe. Holy shit I'm never selling this item again.

yeah but why would that be a good idea
wouldn't it be better to have mm based only on "skill" so that you don't have smurfs terrorizing low win games for a long time

It's not cost efficient to rebuy the recipe for drums to reload charges. Just let one of your other supports buy drums and use his charges instead while you spend your money on other things.

It isn't a "long time", it's 10 games at most. If you win 10 consecutive games you can go straight in page 1. It's only a factor, not the only one.

The base damage nerf + drums nerf + force staff change all hit him pretty hard.

idk man
i've won 10 consecutive games on a smurf and i'm pretty sure i wasn't on page 1
i also have a smurf with like 80% winrate after 20 games, and it's still being matched with people <100 wins
i chose the "experienced" option at the beginning too

So when are more heros going to be enabled in Captains? The current list of disabled heros is silly.
