Sounds good to me. More powerful than the old sound. Also the removed the mouseover for the tournament calendar which is a blessing.

I don't know why they just don't announce it in notes, it would at least make the patch notes look less pathetic.

You could just not care about hitting that 50% win rate, it doesn't actually mean anything.

Ursa works if you're at lower MMRs but tails off as you go into higher ranked games. LS is good, so is Nature's Prophet, strong mid laners like QoP TA Invoker ShadowFiend etc.



Really good players(like pros and stuff) hover around 48%ish.

Surprisingly this is actually true


No man, all dem serious gamers 5 stacking to 60% winrate are serious pros. http://dotabuff.com/players/70388657 anything around 50% is scrub tier. In all seriousness though I am getting seriously sick of the crusade of people who suddenly think anything below 55% is scrub tier when MMR is designed to keep you at 50% (even if it doesn't force it, it is the overall design of the system).

No, unfortunately the whole MMR is designed to keep you at 50% is a terrible misunderstanding that is constantly perpetuated for some reason. I'm not going to dig it up for you, but if you're seriously interested in how MMR functions, and why what you said is wrong, you can go to the dev forums and look up some posts made by the devs there, and why this 50% winrate thing is complete bullshit.

Out of all the possible abbreviations, why does Tauren Chieftain have to be ET? I just don't understand... especially since he's the first one that doesn't keep his abbreviation from WC3 DotA. Surely, they could've come up with a better name than Outworld Devourer, if it didn't need to be "OD" for short.... I doesn't make any sense! What's wrong with Tribal chieftain? That's a boss name, can't possibly be copyrighted (right?) and shortens to "TC".

no, mmr as a concept is made to average everyone to a 50% even though valve doesn't force it it is still the general concept of mmr in every game, the goal is to average 50% this is how it gives you balanced games. I'm not referring to the valve forces fifty percent bs.

Yes, i don't even...My top3 most played heroes in dota1 are ES, Slardar and TC, ES/Slardar are ruined (to me) and TC is going to get a name change??

I am going to whine everyday on dev forum until they change it.

Going to be whining for quite some time I imagine.

The hero that I am crossing my fingers and hoping they do not screw up is Abbadon. I mean, Arthas on a horse, looking like a beast, so awesome. But from the texture pack, difficult to see if it will look awesome. Looks lighter than the Abbadon I know.
