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

Is jungle Invoker a thing? I've seen it a couple of times now in page 1 games.
Furthermore, tournaments should use matchup-specific maps

Anyone still stuck on legacy keys? I can't switch over to QWER because I have a compulsive need to keep a finger constantly on S (stop). Also the positioning of legacy keys just seems to be a much more natural shape for the hand to be.
When people use QWER do you have 4 fingers resting on all 4 keys? I can't do that because I know my pinky finger has a slower response time than my other fingers so using QWER would put me at a mechanical disadvantage.

[edit] yeah servers seem to have died for some, got d/ced from a game and couldnt rejoin, thought it was just isolated to me since ppl on friends list were still searching for and finding games.

I use legacy keys and have never had the urge to move to QWER. Simply what I'm used to, plus I think it's better to have legacy for invoker anyway.

That said I actually think QWER is more natural for the hand. If you're particularly worried about your pinky then just use your ring finger to cover both Q and W. It can also cover S. Travel time between those three keys should be pretty short.

Anyone can change, you just have to actually try. Why would putting a finger on S be bad for qwer? It's exactly where you want your fingers to be.

It is a pain in the arse to change but I think if you can be bothered it's worth it.

More to the point, you can move QWER to wherever you want. If you prefer the keys in the region occupied by the legacy keys, you can change QWER to ERTG or something for the same travel time.

I think voker is the only hero who really benefits from legacy.

Puck is unplayable without legacy.

... I may or may not be slightly biased.

but that's the point, right? If you like that position you just change QWER to DRTY or something and you have that for every single hero in the game.

For people who have played the game forever, muscle memory plays a big role.

I'm simply more comfortable resting my fingers on CV when playing Viper, but if you told me to do that for another hero, there's no way it would feel right.

So I still don't understand about how the MMRating works. A friend told me "the lower your rating the better your rank is". Is this true? I'm sitting on a 3700 (5 calibration games left), I'm such a bad player.
Whether it has ended with a happy ending or sad, I never was an important thing to you.

Your friend is lying, lol.

3700 is decent. Not a top MM player but you probably queue in the Very High bracket and know the basics really well.

Tiny is the hero that sometimes makes me think about switching to QWER and Invoker is the hero that convinces me to stay legacy.

I got 4K after calibration matches and hardly queue in very high solo, but this is before the skill level of the match was hidden. Probably he is 'low tier very high'/'high tier high' bracket.
