This. After spending my first 6 years of Dota on Garena and other similar services, with little or no matchmaking (you never knew if you were in a game with semi pros or people on their first game ever) and no protection against leavers or maphackers, Dota 2's entire system is heavenly. Sure it can be improved, but it's still important to appreciate what it has done for us.

That sounds terrible. I won't take Dota 2 MM for granted ever again

I'd say that only about 10% of games ended with all ten players still in the game, and I'm not exaggerating.

Yeah, trying to play a game was an adventure, finishing a game with all 10 people was pretty rare, especially as I only played on bnet. In the end I think I played more with bots (dota 1 bots were amateurs mods of the dota map with an AI that makes dota 2 bots look like geniuses) than vs humans. Well I mostly played wc3 anyway ! I miss the automated tournaments and the wc3 ladder with levels

Playing on Garena was... interesting... my statistics say about 5% of games finished with all 10 players and most of those games were epic. BTW worst mechanic ever was that command to switch teams, when the other team loses two players and your only carry (insanely farmed) switches to the other team... good times

When i first started dota, i learned how the game is supposed to end if no one leaves after about 15 games, every one before had a side leaving en masse at some point

Yeah the -switch command IceFrog introduced was one of the most ingenious but at the same time insanely frustrating idea ever haha. Good times.

I'm not an expert on the custom map designer but it must have been quite the undertaking for icefrog to implement -switch. Too bad it became so annoying when people started spamming 'switch please' that I stopped enabling it at the start of games.

Since we're on the topic... anyone know's if -ah actually did something ?

why would they even implement switch? switch was the dumbest thing that happened in wc3 dota. it was implement (based on my own opinion) because of leavers. now leavers have consequences. it doesnt necessarily stop it but at least it lessened it. i hate switch.
