Oh so you don't actually need to have played more than 20ish hrs to find good items lol.

My roommate's played around 40 games and is still level 2. with no LP.

o.o well nvm then.

Still, level 4 finding mythicals means that its very much not there to reward the hardcore players. Not that I mind.

Its probably just there to prevent Botting for drops. which is a feasible problem in F2P games.


One would assume bots would manage to play more than 40 or so games >_>

I'm guessing its more to decentivize smurfs as well as to give newer players something to work towards.

Yeah but you gain far less XP for losses than wins, and one would assume bots manage to lose quite a few of their games.

also its possible that after 70-80 games Valve can detect bots, so by gating mythicals past that point means they are effectively gating bots out of them.

I thought you gained as much xp for wins or losses


Yes I thought so too. The XP gained is dependent on game length and then just multiplied by bonuses.

I'm only lvl 17 (~150 games) and I'm at the cap of eligibility (arcana). The system ramps up eligibility really quickly.

Wins i'm fairly certain on but no source. Buildings may be "urban legend", but I've heard it from a lot of people

Captain's draft is bad, just like any mode other than AP in pubs. You will just have 12 minute queues to play with people way down the ladder that think too highly of themselves.

It is sad, I had hopes for it, and no, it won't change over time, if anything it will be worse.

I've heard urban legends about getting more battle points if you get mega creeps

So my last game had 3 people disconnecting constantly. The game before textures didn't apparently work at all for one guy on my team. Seems like Valve broke dota.

I've heard this as well, but its supposed to be small enough its not worth going for if you're spamming games.

Get back to CM then and stay out of that mode. I am sure the tryhards will still welcome you with flaming and rage. Or AP, which is still an option.

Game length and battle bonuses are the only things that effect how many battle points you get. Source

Anyone over lvl 6 I think (which is pretty much everyone)

edit: I'm all but certain that if you disconnect before viewing the end score screen, you don't get battle points.

So they changed the top health bar for dire to red.

I actually thought about this 6 months ago or so why they hadn't done this. But I came to the conclusion that it might be too distracting.

Seems to work alright though, will take a while to get used to. Don't like how the ultimate icon is still green, looks clowny (or I suppose christmasy) over the red healthbar.

Well, you are citing a community wiki that's only source is an article that says nothing about how battle points are calculated.

In other words, that has no more weight than anything you or I say

Also erasme is right you definitely get the points lol
