I really do miss the Aussie players. Getting paired with Aussies has dramatically improved my solo queue experience in Dota 2. They're all so well mannered and understand the game to a respectable level. I live in Hawaii, so I thought I could play on their servers like I could do in US West, but the lag is pretty bad in comparison. Constant 220 ping with a lag spike every 5 min or so. I deal with 120ms in US West and thats about the borderline playability for me. | ||

So FnaticNA is reforming around Smurf or something, chatlogs with fnatic management posted, doesn't make them look all that good. Apparently Fnatic tried to sign PB but they would have had to drop their manager (Monolith) if they had lol | ||

When a player is posting himself I don't know why the site where he posts has any relevance. If Obama choose to announce the next petroleum war on 4chan, the credibility of 4chan has no relevance as it's Obama who talks. Anyway, I don't see any potential drama in this, I hope their new team will work better. | ||

Or is my understanding of the role of mid just wrong? | ||

Medusa mid is not the worst, her nuke is pretty good and can keep some good harass/control up. | ||

Putting a carry mid just means that the other lanes will have to control the game flow. Granted, this put's everything in a bit of a weird place - controlling the game from mid is quite easy due to runes/the all the lanes being so easily accesible, but it's not all bad; putting a carry mid, that is. AM mid used to be decently popular. You can win/get decent farm in quite a few matchups and it frees up the lanes. | ||

https://dotabuff.com/matches/97664032 I found that guy from the dotabuff forum, he/she created a new account and in 16th game he played with LGD.Pajkatt.int verified. Either the system is so good detecting the level of the players, or just too random I couldn't decide. But what I understand is, having a bad day while playing lets say 10 games would ruin your MMR or vice versa. | ||

How is putting one of the hardest carries in the game mid a smart idea? =/ Or is my understanding of the role of mid just wrong? I have had this too. I know it's not unheard of, but to me it's more of a solution when you lack all of the usual suspects for mid. The feeling I have gotten a few games is that people consider her a mid hero. I had one game where I was panda, and there was a storm on our team, where the medusa just said "I guess I go mid then?" and went mid. I brought up the argument that storm was probably the better candidate, but no one else had an opinion on the matter and acted like it was normal. Our lineup was panda, medusa, storm, wisp, bane. I've had a couple other games where I've gotten the same vibe, but where the alternative wasn't as clear cut. | ||

Although this prob for the simple question thread: Option/Game/Interface--Minimap options below. Another neat change is the option to stop the camera from automoving. It is handy just to go through all the options (and there is always the ~console options too) So I started using another smurf account and decided to main Meepo on it. Such an odd hero that I have issues playing correctly. I dropped myself down to lowest brackets (when choosing skill) and one game I did fine, another I fed... and last game I went 26/8/12. I find myself either doing pretty well (since against bad players) or I cannot get the farm and become utterly useless. 12/4/3 9/0/3/ 1/10/7 Those so far are me games... if any other hero would walk over the players since some are so bad but Meepo can be such a pain. Anyway, wish me luck!

People can be carried into higher brackets; I have heard of people getting into pretty much Very High within a few games. Many variables go into it so cannot say for certain. Sometimes the MMR works well, other times it pulls a Tivo and does some idiotic things. | ||

Pajkatt probably queued up with some of those people, both teams have odd number of wins on their players. | ||

But what I understand is, having a bad day while playing lets say 10 games would ruin your MMR or vice versa. It took me about 6 matches to go from "beginner" -> very high on a smurf (I was going to teach a friend, I don't smurf to stomp beginners). Afaik the first 10 matches played on an account determines a lot more in your MMR than the matches after that. It's to prevent smurfing. | ||
