TMM begins new teams at an unreasonably high level so you will suffer a lot of hard stomps unless you are already quite good as a 5 man team. To have a chance at winning you will have to play you're very best all the time, leading to doing the same thing over and over and finally ladder anxiety a la sc2.
Proof: Dota is never fun.
I thought TMM started you at an MMR equal to the sum of the individual MMRs of the players on the team?

What are the odds of bashing someone with bara 4 times in a row?
|
If my math is not terrible .08%.
Not accounting for the pseudo randomn thingy .

Remember that Charge and Netherstrike both guarantee Greater Bashes. Sometimes being locked down for what seems like an eternity is not bullshit.

If you are decent at the game you will win the big majority of games when TMM'ing (There are simply no good teams, even at 5xxx Rating) unless proteams happen to queue (which happens approximately never).
Of course it gets harder if you artificially boosted your MMR by going full TI4 mode in pubs and are not good enough to play on such a level if your opponents are actually trying to win.

Pubstats seems largely uninformative.without at least loose designations for role or bracket. Me having an average CS of 83 compared to the current site average of 102 probably means I'm exceptionally bad at last-hitting for someone in high / vhigh... except I play position 5 almost always, so... maybe not?
One thing's for sure, though! I need to die less :D

It does, I've made several teams with the same 5 stack, and it's quite evident.

Even though N0tails steam isn't SFW, it sure is entertaining to watch

It's very depressing when you play single draft and watch as the other team gets SB....and then troll. As if the bashes weren't bad enough he gets troll ulti. It was a hard game. Unsurprisingly we lost. Cause you just can't beat SB.

Didn't we have a QQ thread ?

pubstats in general seems like it has a few issues it needs to work out.
I tried to check out my smurf on it and it really doesn't make sense.
http://pubstats.me/76561198089137583 clearly shows 100% on one graph, yet it goes up and down on the two other graphs. And I'm pretty sure I played a few games of not vhigh aswell before it jumped there, so 100% also sounds unreasonable.

random gold is dumb
literally no reason for random gold to be in the game I think it's okay. It gives you an incentive to try a new hero. If you get a hero you always use, then good for you but for people like me who need an extra edge when playing a hero like, say, tree. I want that extra starting regen or sage's mask. It makes solo matchups so obnoxious for the person who didn't random tho. If someone can't be bothered to try new heroes that's their fault
True. I guess the advantage the person who didn't random got is the choice if hero. Imagine randoming AM when you already have a Spectre and a PL :p Hahaha! That 200 gold won't do *bleep*! :D But I do get your point.

It makes solo matchups so obnoxious for the person who didn't random tho. If someone can't be bothered to try new heroes that's their fault I like playing solo matchups with repick vs random gold. If I can win with repick vs. random gold, then going back to normal gold matchups feels so easy.
It's good practice, but sometimes I play 600 gold night stalker vs random gold QoP and I know I've completely boned the midlane for my team
