IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

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

im wondering something, am i a freak?
ive played dota for some 4-5 years now and never have i felt the need to join a team. all pub games.
it just feels good.

and before i played dota i played unreal tournament, always competitively so im no stranger to it.
actually most of the times i play dota i play with my old teammates.

not really, i used to play dota1 comp but now i dont really wana play CM even. The thing is there are a lot of commitment you have to make in a team and im just tired of it. Every now and then i wanted a high level game with chen first ban/pick but then its gone away simply bc im seeing too much noob supports in the scene. I am currently considering to register in NADL but some people are telling me its not worth it.

Wish my MMR was high enough to snipe him that'd be pretty entertaining. Oh well maybe with some time. Do you guys know if the whole "high/low/mid" MMR that you can look for your name under means anything at all or how wide the ranges are?

Also pretty funny, just played with 2 guys named flash and bisu, wonder if they're from TL and read this thread lol. Was a pretty intense game, I was morph and we were barely surviving all game, then my farm finally came online and we just obliterated the other team. Also we had an enchantress on our team that went MoM first, a singsing fan I take it.

give a shot for it, valve's mmr system is pretty much fucked up.

i saw when singsing playing with 1-2 win guys on mm.

how can you look at this?

if your games got into front page, its a common sign of having high MMR. Even though its kinda inaccurate now aday since they just use 'team mmr' bc good players often party up in match making which cause a huge gap to normal solo queue which fill up front page quite often.

i just googled and found out how it works on reddit.
if you go on the watch tab/filer you can search for you name, then there is a box thats says skill level so you can filter your games by skill level.
and yay, im high! although i seldomly play with pros

being high is like being on top of 2/3rd of the player base, congrats... now just remember there are 1/3rd of the player based sitting on your head.

I'm always amazed when I see some of my friends' games considered "high" level. Now I don't take it seriously cause of that. Basically it should encompass the first 100-150 pages...

its like going D- on iccup and got master in sc2... those just indicate how familiar you are with the game and does not really differentiate skill at the level we normally compare/talk about.

The constant team shifting is disturbing in the DotA scene.
