We still lost because the enemy played really well and snowballed. I messed up a few times too. This is my first time playing with a pro in any game. I'm ecstatic. | ||

He was doing some next level shit like buying rings of health and selling them back to the side shop just for the regen. Overall very nice play.

I'm ecstatic. a lot of high rated people have reported that in the same update when valve removed seeing other people's MMR even if you are not friends as long as they have public profile, they seemed to have adjusted the MM algorithm to prioritize shorter queue times over skill balance in high MMR games. high rated people began to find matches much faster but in turn the average quality of games dropped noticeably so now people like you with 4500+ rating have quite a big chance to be matched with people even close to 6k rating, especially in a region like NA where the playerbase is not big enough to consistently find 10 5500-6000 mmr people to play against each other | ||

I'm going to play every game the best that I possibly can so if I get matched up with him again, I can be less of a burden. | ||

Armlet bear was nerfed, but what happened to opening maelstrom? It used to be a fairly common alternative to Radiance if you needed to fight faster, didn't it? | ||

I know it's always been good but Druids would usually skip it if it was obvious they wouldn't get the farming space or their team needed their contribution earlier. Now it feels like Druids will rush radiance come hell or high water. Armlet bear was nerfed, but what happened to opening maelstrom? It used to be a fairly common alternative to Radiance if you needed to fight faster, didn't it? radiance being really strong in this patch and lone druid being pretty meh in this patch together make for this situation where you kind of have to build radiance on him no matter what to make up for the mehness as despite the mehness he is still probably the best radiance hero next to spectre | ||

Of course it's possible. Just takes a lot of patience and practice. If you're 3850-4000 you clearly aren't terrible at the game, so just fine tune your issues and grind a ton of games. | ||

Maybe if the rock became usable 0.5 seconds after you drop it, he wouldn't be nearly as strong. He might be too weak at that point even. Maybe you could use the rock and it would appear after 0.5 seconds and in the fade time it would be invisible to enemies, that could be fine. This. I think Icedog had this in mind when he designed the hero. People strategically pushing and placing stones around the battlefield. It's absurd that he can instantly drop the stone behind an enemy. Whatever this hero is annoying as fuck. Hope he will get changed soon.. | ||
