That`s me

your wr gona decrease the more game you play bc the match making is designed so you always have 50% w/r. If you start winning a lot, they just gona give your team shitty players and match you with a stacked team. Im seriously snapped today and start throwing like a retard bc match making rage.

Thanks for making me feel better about my last 10 or so games. Been getting stomped all day to the point where I can't even think correctly. Especially bad when all of my team mates keep fighting all game instead of trying to play like a team.

mm definitely has more against organized stacks than single queue. In single queue you are screwed with random teams, sometimes 4 mans, sometimes all random. If you make a stack with four though, your last will be a bad player to "balance" the teams. Even if you get matched against another four man the last player always has significantly less games played and is low skilled for both teams. I used to think it was just matchmaking not being able to find suitable players, but now it will do this with almost instant matches for games.

It makes for really terrible games because it devolves into the stacks feeding off the noob the whole game. It really goes against what valve said about the better players influencing the game more than the noobs.
What does it matter how I loose it?

I think that's why you have to couple the eblade with manta or bkb, so once you do your combo you can manta/bkb out of the banish.

I liked how in HoN you can just walk off cliffs if you got pulled up by a bad blink, force staff or ability.

Since the last patch my streak is something like 1-15. I solo que but OMG do I get some of the dumbest people ever. I guess thats what I get for having a 55% win streak from stacking with people for a lil bit....

Also, playing Dk great farm, get my ancients 5 stacked by 20 minutes just about to go along and kill em and they get scouted. We team fight at them, we lose, they take ancients and then rosh.

I think that's why you have to couple the eblade with manta or bkb, so once you do your combo you can manta/bkb out of the banish.

I understand the concept, but having such burst damage (a nuke, essentially), kind of goes against being a carry - you have 2 / 2.5 attacks to kill one hero (a lower hp one) and then you can't really do anything until your cooldowns are gone. You don't have the same sort of damage items that the opposing team's carry will have, which makes me think that against a carry that is equally farmed, you will lose out.

That being said, I just don't have much experience with EB morph, but that's my feeling on the matter.

Just lost to an EB morph. Probably the most infuriating strategy that i have ever faced!

you're underrating the ranged burst damage. it usually means you can immediately pick off somebody on the other team

Yep, everytime I get a few wins I get instantly matched with a lower skilled team and when I get a bunch of losses I instantly get matched against a lower skilled team. The difference is pretty staggering in team skill when you go on a streak. It's fairly frustrating, I should always get matched with equal MMR regardless of win/loss streaks.

Well I can't completely answer your question for specs but if you want to stream in pretty good quality, 2.5-3MB/s upload is needed. Great quality needs 4MB/s+ and as far as computer specs I can tell you a ballpark. Using Flash Media Encoder, I run Dota 2 at a fixed 60 fps with an i5 2500k overclocked to 3.7Ghz, Video card (can't remember off the top of my head) but it is 2GB and ~$250 so decent quality, 8Gb DDR3. I still have frame-rate issues at times but generally I can stream in 720p without issues. Unfortunately the internet I have now is at-max 2.5MB/s so I can never stream

Hope this helps konadora!
