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. | ||

Every RTS game >> The main flaw of ARTS to me is that the acronym sounds too much like a very common english word, moba may be ugly but at least does not cause any confusion | ||

LoL is LoL, DotA is DotA, HoN is HoN etc. Same will come around for HotS. It's not like there's an abundance of titles around that could be put in the same basket as the first three, so I honestly do not understand why do people try so hard to classify these games with one term. | ||

You guys know, sometimes, you play a game that you remember for weeks ? A game were the stars were perfectly aligned. The only reason for you to push the find match button is to play another match like this one. I know I did. I always wondered why, out of all the hours I've put in Dota, I only truly enjoyed maybe 5 or 10 games. That's a very low ratio, like 1 or 2 out of 10 and it's a shame. My question is, why are those games so rare ? I think we can safely rule out that the player pool isn't large enough... So is it a matchmaking problem ? | ||

A good portion of my played games are 'good' games and they make this game still worth playing. Every now and then I get a beauty of a game which sticks in my mind but that's like a cherry on top. | ||

You can have the same 10 people play another game and it end up being a one sided stomp. It happens on tournament finals, each teams stomps each other and then they have an epic game, followed by another stomp. People love to blame the matchmaking for everything, but it really is just how the game works. | ||

Reminds me of my recent game as TA(first in 6months, randomed it) where I was worried about if i can play it well. Ended up being a badass and singlehandedly won the game. /subtlebrag  | ||

It's not though, the matchmaking often forces a win or a loss by matching players with massive experience disparities. If the game decides that it's time to lose, I will end up on a team with very little games played while the other team is the opposite. | ||

You just have some people that are worse but had a good run so the game rates them higher. People dont perform on the same level every game. | ||

The game does not decide 'it's time to make this person win/lose'. Please stop spreading this. | ||
