Unpopular language settings on an unpopular server.
Loads of people abusing it the last month or two, but I don't think everyone on that site has done so obviously.

The basic premise of it revolves around queueing on less-populated servers with strange language choices. The matchmaker will try to match people with the same language choice together. If you and your friends all queue SEA with Portugese selected, it's more than likely that you'll all be puton the same team. This is how you 5-stack the solo queue. Similarly you can set up a second PC or a sandbox and queue on less-populated servers in the hopes of getting matched against yourself and just feeding yourself.

I don't know the specifics, but you make sure to get matched against accounts that you or your friends are in control of.

Why is it so hard to get a fair trade on dota2lounge? Been looking for a ward, yet all the people offering ask for 1:1 + one/two uncommons. Now I know it isn't the particular ward that is more valuable than others cause I see it going BOTH ways (ie person has both Ward A and Ward B as the offer, and what they want).

Is there some reason these people are able to demand trades that aren't 1:1? Are they actually successful in the long term, or do they just do it and hope someone desperate for a certain item is willing to pay more than its worth?


yes, d2lounge is not known for the fair trade when it spawns so many auto-invite bots for phishing links/scammer.
Thats what they do everyday. Highballing and sharking. And people who've been sharked will be the sharks next time. Vicious cycle.

1 : 1 does not really exist there. Try some steam market. Its okayish than d2l except you have to topup some money in steam via CC/steam wallet/ paypal.

This is not the thing in my mind. I am surprised Valve didn't take any action against it. This 2 guy wreck the game for other 6 player.

They're busy doing important shit like making sure you can't play proper games if you're four friends.

Harr, I feel salt!
This is the closest they can get to ranked solo queue, while also preventing the 4+1v5 scenario in which the former team, in pubs, is at a disadvantage. If you want to play as a four stack, go unranked.

i wish people would just stop taking that ranking stuff so serious and we could just play how we want.


Btw: i never play unranked, no matter how drunk, stoned or generally just "bad" i feel... Why would I? Out of fear my e-peen shrinks?

You have 4 allies who might care about their rank.

But hey, if I don't care about my rank, neither should they, right?

Caring rank at team mm? People queue with a variety of friends with a variety of MMR so it is not even remotely competitive. At least in solo, it is consistently about yourself. I am against un-solo ranked at the end.

Which is why Valve had to take up the role of an arbiter between competitive people and casuals - they are already trying their best to make the game as entertaining for everyone as possible - and whining or grumbling about it isn't going to change anyone's mind. Just because somebody likes winning and wants to commit to a game doesn't mean he's 'taking that ranking stuff' so serious'.

Bait much? So the whole meta game for you is to argue with people who take ranked seriously? I guess everyone needs a hobby.

I find when most people claim not to care even a bit about ranked, it's because their rating isn't worth caring about.

I've never played ranked yet; I don't know if I can handle how serious it is/can be.
