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.

What are people talking about when they say x team is tier y? Is it sponsor vs amateur or something else?

It's just an arbitrary skill rank. Everyone has their own definitions but generally tier 1-2 is pro level teams and tier 3 is amateur level. Some people say tier 2 is amateur teams, as said, everyone has their own definitions.

You can typically get what people mean by the context though.

So I made a new account, because a console buddy of mine is sharing my Steam library, and when I'm on it playing Doto, he can't play anything.

I also decided to only play SF mid, to see how high I could get MMR wise playing core roles (am ~3800 support normally). Just finished the 4th game, and I must say the games are -awful-. At least it's getting to the point now that my weaknesses actually matter / are showing, but like...

- 4 / 4 games had a 'core hero' buying the courier on my team.
- 2 / 4 games that was because I offered to commend them if they bought courier.
- 3 / 4 games had a PA in them.
- 2 / 4 games had an abandon post 15 minutes.
The only traditional supports to be picked across all 4 games were Lion (2x), Lich (1x), Dazzle (1x) and Earthshaker (1x)
Of those 5 supports, only 1 (lich) actually purchased wards.

I thought I was in the trench before, but now I am enlightened.

Whenever I play a game, I get better allies if they are Russian than, say, a North America who is trying to get away from the Peruvians on his server!

I have no idea if the enemy team ever had couriers or not. Didn't bother to watch the replays to check that... but as for wards, I did check everyone at 0:00 for wards and only one team out of four games had wards in inventory / placed.

So 5 of 40 heroes were "traditional supports". 3 of 40 were sniper, 3 of 40 were PA, 4 of 40 were SF (me) and the rest were for the most part misc. cores, like dusa / huskarr / sven / furion / drow etc.

In my pubs silincer owns any hero in a duallane vs duallane (elo-hell-strats). Silincer + cm aura will make it so that there carry will never be able to farm because you can last word almost 24/7 from lvl 1 and onwards. Then they overextend for that 1 creep of 40 gold and they die, really satisfying, just like eating chocolate
