Valve should have made it so if you die in a tutorial, the game would delete itself. Saves the trouble of other players to tell you to do so anyway.

If Zerogravity announces a female Dota 2 roster today, it will be genius by him. People will be pissed, but there's no way he could make the announcement any more hyped. Other managers could really learn from him how to hype.

I generally play games like Sc2/Dota2/LoL to improve my skills at them and Dota has a serious lack of tangible progression as a player.

Go play -cm with others. Make your goal to have a team of people who aren't horrible, can learn from each other and don't go apeshit insane on each other when you lose 10 games in a row. Suddenly you have a goal that's hard to reach again. =P



Do people actually queue CM?


well i know 2 guys who almost exlusively play -cm. be it with stacks or solo. although they dont know each other as far as i know they share 3 common traits.

1. they genuine belief that only noobs play -AP and the real deal is -CM.

2. they never play team matchmaking or look for scrims on other platforms even if they are 5, because they "play with mates who are not very good"

3. they are not the best players around and their knowledge when it comes to mechanics or simply things you can do is lacking. i.e. continuing a pull with drawing aggro from another creepcamp or stacking ancients so a tinker can farm them with march was completly unknown to them.

with these two guys you will never ever want to play on the same random team because they think they know everything while actually beeing really really bad. if -CM has more of these kind of people, i would highy recommend not to play this mode.

Meh I am pretty down to earth, I know I don't know everything I just want to know if I am improving in a game and have something to show for the time spent playing it.

After 1500 hours of Dota 2 Valve isn't really delivering anything that does that.

You probably don't get it. But some people do enjoy the drafting part of the game.

Expecting to be spoonfed, are we?
Back when I started yadda yadda yadda...

Dota is inherently a teamgame. Either you find others to talk about obscure things you can do with,(i.e. reading forums like this one) or you try to progress to 5 manning.
You're not really progressing as a player if you don't properly coordinate with 4 other guys. Pubs are for a lot of people about fun first(picking whatever), and winning secondary.

If you don't know anyone who plays Dota, then go find some. Just message people and stuff. It's the internet, nobody cares if you message 10, 100 or over 9000 random people before you get 4 teammates together.
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

Spoonfed? Dota is now the only Esport without a ranking system, in this day and age its simply expected from a competitive game. It's not like I'm some crazy guy expecting new leaps and bounds in competitive gaming, simply parity with the competitors.

Let's not go there. Go look for the DBR thread and read it. There's nothing more to be added to this topic.

There is a ranking system. It's just implemented differently than in other games. If you need a badge for your epeen i recommend other games.

Yep that must be it, it must be my epeen man, you should consider a degree in psychology. Couldn't be that seeing progressing back and forth is fun for some people, that's not it, I am really just sitting here raging because my epeen isn't being shown off enough.
