Honestly at this stage it doesnt matter it was russian/troll or whatever, it was purely because more players joined in, mm failed to adjust the balance and then making games mostly one sided.

The bigger problems with dota2 MM games:
1)Cute players who randomed/picked X hero that he never play or couldn't play at high level -> proceed to derp.
best example: your typical noob mid, 'ya sure this is my first time playing this hero lets go mid and i expect to own'.
2)Selfish player who picked/randomed supprortive heroes but not buying cour/ward and go farm/derp around when team needed them/takingfighting resources with the core heroes.
best example: people who made me to produce that 'how to play support' guide.
3)Asshole players who purposely ruin the games by playing X hero but playing very badly/do a new meta/troll build regardless what happened to the game.
best example: first pick hardcarry, couldnt even last hit, wasting all the freefarming that the team bought him or go for totally retarded items, wasting all the effort of the team. support NA with 30mins dagon etc.

None of the above matters if we are still playing bnet/garena because noobs are everywhere anyway, but dota2 mm artificially making sure there is no noobs in your game and hence if the better player got to play a hero who couldnt make any impact to the game, it would be autolose.

I have been consistently telling the team at the start that: 'team give me freefarm 8mins and i will win the game for you' when i play safelane carry, and it mostly turned out exactly like what i said. While i make sure i achieve that when i am not carrying, and i have seen enough disheartening shit where i made 15mins freefarm time for the carry and he went totally retarded items.

And guess who is usually ruining the game, your randomed ES who started with a QB and rush to safelane, and if you clicked on his profile you will see that he has more than 1k wins. Dota2 MM, best.

Ohboy another rant on the MM >_< hopefully when i come back next time mm would be improved #0expectation.

when has twitch chat ever been wrong?

I have a question about techies, some people refer to him as a "fun" hero, meaning he is deliberately not balanced or meant for competitive play. Does anyone know if this is actually true? or is he designed like every other hero in that regard.

He isn't deliberately 'not balanced for competitive play'. He just has a toolset which isn't useful in competitive play because it's punished so heavily by good map awareness and warding.

And if you change that part of him, he's no longer techies.
