At least if the system really did add some value then that would offset the increased bitching about the system. | ||

The people who are really good at Dota largely have that connection.|I think it was always their goal to further bridge casual players into competitive tiers and eventually create new teams and participants. In the end, Valve's goal with eSports is meshing their consumer with their competitor/eSports fans and this sounds like their way of building towards it; especially as they explore more and new ways for consumers to cycle each other off to support this new livelihood. Like give me some crazy Valve science shit. At the end of the game, analyze that game automatically, and then spit out some improvements the player should make. And then offer me coaching with Dendi because he's good at the shit I'm doing wrong. I don't know, I just think the "here's a number, enjoy" doesn't really add anything of real value and it was a kneejerk response to all the bitching. It doesn't feel very 'valve'esque. | ||

Surely the whole point of having 7k mmr is to wave ur massive e-peen in front of as many faces as possible. (I'm talking about abusers here who can't successfully win their way to 7K normally obviously) | ||

Surely the whole point of having 7k mmr is to wave ur massive e-peen in front of as many faces as possible. (I'm talking about abusers here who can't successfully win their way to 7K normally obviously) I mean it's hilarious that people would abuse to 7k then brag about it, rofl. Like how do you hide it anyways? Turn of DB and set your profile to private so poeple don't see that you sandbox games. That just SCREAMS something fishy is going on. Like if I had a bad friend that suddenly had a 7k account I would be like, lol. I'm sure you grinded to 7k, uhh huh. edit: my point is that if you have a fake account and show it off it will be found out. What's the point of doing that? | ||
