Quitting is treated harshly. 2-3 quits and you're in LPQ, where normal people don't have to deal with them. If someone leaves in 3 games that's 45 minutes wasted + extra 6-10 on que time in between these.So yea it's about an hour,if you're luck and the other team refuses to leave even tho it's 4v5 it racks up. LPQ is bullshit because I can log out and log onto a smurf and bam I'm not in LPQ anymore. Quitting is not treated harshly at all,even less now in comparison with communication abuse they announced in their new ban policy. | ||

Also you have to play the tutorial lmao So you destroy 10 low lvl games(or even less) and you're pretty much back in the bracket you belong in for good and every time you get lpq you can just jump on it. It's either wait 5+ minutes in lpq and play with bad players or make a smurf in 2 mins and get a game in the same time and play with bad players for a few games.Real hard decision. | ||

i would never believe those who think drow will just get relegated to pubstomping role, having aoe silence and aura on a dps hero is just too good to pass up. Though it's up to the team to ban her or ban the heroes that can complement with her. | ||

Then 15min to play the tutorial. Then you spend 3h playing with retards without courier(if you're borderline vhigh). I would behave. | ||

And you can easily stomp the first few games, with ease, doesn't matter if your allies are retarded. | ||

And that's like playing 10 games in LPQ, even worse. Yes you destroy, and waste time doing so playing against players who aren't meant to play against you. Also in my experience it's not 10 games, It's more like ~40-50. And that won't be your true MMR it will be near it. | ||

Honestly dota's lpq system is useless as long as the game is f2p. For a legitimately good player who misbehaves, you might be able to make a case that it's easier to do the time rather than set up a completely new account and get it to vhigh. For the career criminals, though, the retards who leave every second game and "mid or feed" and flame everyone constantly and tiny-throw their supports... those people are in trash tier anyway. If they remake an account, the general skill of their opponents might actually go up. They are a far more serious problem than idle raging from a vhigh guy, and lpq does nothing to help. In fact, it arguably makes things worse, since every time they remake they go back in to ruin even more games for genuine noobs. Also communication blocking is a terrible idea. Dota is all about communication. I'd rather have a guy flame me while calling mid with void, rather than not be flamed but also not be aware he's doing something that strange. You can just block people as soon as it's clear they're not worth listening to, anyway. | ||
