Um well, matchmaking just depends on your MMR. So there's no way what you said could be true.

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.

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.

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.

Hi folks,
I'd like to introduce you to Dota 2 Team Match-Maker: http://www.dota2tmm.com It is a platform aimed at making it easy to search & find players or teams. It promotes social values and team building on Dota 2.
It is the first attempt to bring players and teams in Dota 2 together in an easy and comfortable way with the focus to educate in team building and team meta.
In a nutshell, players can setup their profile to represent their goals and characteristics which makes it easy for others to search and find them. A Player can also put his profile to public so when posting posting here he can link to his profile and everyone can benefit from the information that he already put there.
Examples:
A Player profile: http://www.dota2tmm.com/player/1/ Player list (with search): http://www.dota2tmm.com/players/
There are more upcoming features, but every project starts small. So if you like the concept, feel free to setup your profile, join the steam group, give feedback and help spread the word.
Thank you very much for your time.
Kind regards,
bontscho

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.

Pretty inconsistent for me. 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. (?)
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

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
