A lot of times games just come down to picks and team comps so AP/RD/SD can have a wide variety of outcomes and stomps. the matchmaker has to expand to find players in lesser played modes. this is why compendium games were by and large much lower skill than your normal matchmaking experience. less people play sd/rd/ar so it's less likely (not impossible obviously) to give you as balanced a match-up. I also do AP only mode, but do you also put on solo queue mode option on? I'm really hung up on this, if it affects my games heavily. I never use the solo only option, it has the same effect imo. Less player pool = less skilled / less balanced matchups.

Hahahaha damn that was awesome.
There is justice in this game. I agree with the mod action taken against him btw, he totally deserves it.

He apparently got banned on the forums, so he made another account to keep arguing. Accused the valve employee of just going from game to game playing really poorly to try to get people to yell at him so he could ban them.
:D

Iess balanced matchups, sure i can see that. Less skill, im not sure, pretty sure CM is one of the least queued modes but probably has the largest percentage of skilled players. Just depends on who plays in solo.

Um, I think when they moved the solo queue option it now doesn't just put you with people who have that option turned on, just a pool of anyone who solo queued. So it doesn't affect the player pool as much as it used to.
You know who I miss seeing play from HoN? Mr.swish . I know he's on one of the neo.ints but I never get to see him play.

tbh i always get really good games in solo q, always people picking to get somewhat good lanes, always a courier heck last game i even got pooled to offlane without even asking. I hear people say alot of bad things about solo q i'm just not seeing it

I hope this is the case... Just that people that don't have the solo queue mode option on would also be able to play with stacks if MMR warrants it.

Like, I can search my own name just fine but a lot of names (most) give me blank results. I think it might be something to do with the semi-recent change of hiding win numbers. (?)

1700 attendees x $50 tickets 1700 x average $200 on secret shop items $1.3mill x 3 ($2.5/$10 for the compendium) = $3.9 million
pretty sure they earned more than enough :p
