I mean if it's just how that team can catch people out easily, most pub Slark/SB/whatever random pub hero lineups do that as well. As a lineup that's just a hodgepodge of "high-value" picks but not a good teamcomp. EDIT: TBH the way this version works out a lot of the higher-priority heroes end up being picks that need to be supported/built around so you're actually going to be a lot less effective picking them haphazardly in pubs. It's nothing like before/during TI2 where pretty much anyone could pick a bunch of Naga/Tide/DS/etc. heroes and have a somewhat coherent lineup. | ||

It's great for catching people (which is generally a good thing in pubs) but there are a lot of lineups you can do that with even without "tryhard" picks. Yeah not that good when you think about it competitively or theorycraft, but in pubs, it's hard to play against it because not much coordination. Bottom line is, it's easier to execute that lineup than to defend against it. | ||

Well maybe it helps if I said what my team composition was... I was Storm, and the rest were Rubick, WD, Weaver, Morph. Weaver went mid (since I knew OD was going there). I did offlane, Morph, WD, Rubick sorta tri-laned. | ||

They feel they have to pick these line-ups to have a chance to win and more often than not, still lose. The way the mmr works (assuming they regularly pick "tryhard" lineups) it is self evident that they are going to in general have less individual skill in a given match. Everyone is pushed towards 50% winrate so if this stack consequently picks better lineups than the opposition then they will starting facing better players until a balance is reached between superior picks/strategy on one hand and individual skill on the other. | ||

Nevermind me. Just intentional MMR tanking. Really lame way to do it tbh. | ||

Ideally it gives you all the rewards and not just the highest one.
