I know player cards and the first treat drop for the first comprendium match. But after that, can I just play regular matchmaking and get treats/cards? | ||

communicating AT ALL in pubs can be a dangerous game lol. One time I was having a really rough game but this drow was carrying me, so I said "Thank god for Drow" and he flipped out at me cuz he thought I was being sarcastic lol | ||

Watched only first 16 minutes. Despite being muted Waga takes a lot of time to find flaws in his teammates and complain about them. All the while he does his own mistakes, like accidentally stacking big neutral camps twice, hesitating to get a point in blood rage which is his best defense against harass and not participating in engagements even in 3v1 situation. There is "playing safe" and there is "not even trying anymore" 8 minutes in. Also how the hell are so many guys in 1 game muted? Are they packed together just like low priority queue? | ||

It's called top level matchmaking. Everyone is muted and everyone reports everyone who says literally anything in chat out of spite due to being muted. | ||

That's what is happening in all of the games I've experienced recently at least. 60% are muted and the rest are too afraid to talk. But yay for the balance changes, looks good!  | ||

Rage nerf is good, still not enough imo. make it 20 seconds. Flamebreak: meh. Chemical rage is interesting. Alchemist was already declining in popularity. We might not see much more of him after this. Tether is a nice change. Wisp is still useful, but probably wont be 1th pick 1th ban 90% of games now. Gyro nerf: meh. | ||

I think the flamebreak and rage nerfs are pretty cool. The cooldown are so low, that they usually get used multiple times in a teamfight, and this should make these heroes just a tiny bit weaker in teamfights. Tether movement speed doesn't change a thing, imo... Alchemical rage nerf is pretty big, imo. 50/100/150 less hp is going to hurt Alchemist a lot. I don't know why he gets the nerf, too. I didn't think he was either picked very often, or had a very high winrate. Gyro attack range nerf. Makes him a worse laner, why not, the hero was still strong. | ||

I think it's weird that you'd flame a friend to the extent that you get muted, but I can understand people venting when playing with randoms. --- Jonathan Berg @LodaBerg 1m Sometimes it just sucks to pracc 1v1 vs s4... s4 too strong | ||

He said he didnt report me, who knows. Only 2 reports from two separate games are needed to put someone into mute (according some reddit guy), i dont even talk in game nowadays but when I talked the words will be harsh. This is my 3rd mute after the mute system implemented for awhile and my 2nd mute was just last week, that says something about me. I tend to queue with my 'skilled friends' but i sometimes queue with my 'long time friends but haven't played together for a long time so lets play' friends. Again i dont mind win or lose, but dota2 MM made you played against stronk players when you queue with 'casual' friends, what do when i rage at that. --------------------------- Agha Bara just made my day ~_~ urn+PT->AC->Agha, nowadays bara is my 'pubstomp' herp lol | ||
