IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Riki is a bit out of place there. He's more power house midgame then late game compared to spec/am/morph. Morph farms slower than AM but faster than spec. Spec can farm and go into battle with ulti only good morphs can really do this. Latest of late game Spec > Morph > AM.

that late game ability to deal insane damage and soak up crazy damage as well, because of that morph

also, ability to morph enemy carry + being able to replicate back to base

makes one of the strongest yet hardest to kill carries in late game

I am so happy that I finally got a key!
I've been waiting for months already and right now the game is downloading with steam
Anything I should know before I hop into it? Like big changes from the original DotA, which I've been playing for the past 6 or so years
Can't wait to meet you there

Another torrent of Beta players should happen now as DH is giving out their BYOC keys now.

Beta is starting to get quite big :D.

There was a moment when according to stem stats it was the most played game but I guess it's due to it being the only steam game widely played in SEA

^CS:S and TF2 are pretty big in SEA too, but yeah, probably the most popular game in SEA now because of all the boatload of keys given out recently.

At this point, the DH players added in will be almost irrelevant. I remember when DHW keys came out, people thought it would blow up but it only brought up the active concurrents by a couple hundred

Eric Tams from Valve wasn't lying when he said if you queue with a party of big skill differential the MM basically breaks...


I almost always duo queue with my friend, I'm assuming we're in the 'high' range of the 'high' bracket as we generally play vs. the known NADL players, NA pros, and well known pub stompers. I track our stats in excel (cause im a nerd and valve doesn't show us shit) and I tracked a 50 game set. We went 40-10 over this set, that's 78.4% win, pretty good!

This weekend we decided to play with our 'newer' friend but hes a pretty decent player, just only has like 50 wins or so, maybe 70-80 games total. He's much lower in MMR for obvious reasons and queueing with him was a nightmare... We went from a 50 game set of 40-10, to a 13 game set of 2-11. Everygame we got was worse then the next. Our teammates literally had no idea what dota was, yet we still got matched vs good/decent players. We got against jeyo and daisy crew, fogged/solace crew, and other random known players yet we were queueing with our newb friend. The worst part was our teammates were even worse then our 'new' friend. None of the loses were really his fault, but moreso the randoms they matched us up with.

I know it's only beta and I shouldn't give a shit about winning but I honestly can't queue with my friend. The games are complete shit. At least valve acknowledges that the MM breaks when you queue outside your skill range, but I hope they come up with a good fix. It's literally miserably unfun at best to unwinable at worst if I play with my lower level friends.

To be clear this wasn't a stack, just my duo partner +1. Breaks the fuck out of MM.
