We don't have more modes in ranked and soloqueue because it would split the community, the introduction of ranked queue was already a big split. If you added random draft and soloqueue (or just one of those) the matchmaker then would either take too long to find games or the games would be very mismatched. I'm sure nobody wants that.

Venge is just good, especially with peoples love of melee carrys. The swap, stun, debuff, walk away combo is to amusing.

i would really like if they put a small incentive for playing ranked, for example slightly more battlepoints or a special modus for ranked all pick where everyone can ban 1 hero or something the community really wants.


I think you have a point here, though I'm not sure ranked needs any other incentive to be popular. People play it already and seem rather content with their imaginary e-peen points.

Also they need to do something to stop MMR inflation,


Admittedly, I'm unranked. (Well, still in calibration I guess) So I feel rather unqualified to talk about this topic. What I can say though, from a general "I've seen this kind of thing happen in video games before" perspective, is that there's no way to please everyone in a situation like this. Resetting the MMR will upset the people who worked to get to where they are, and keeping it the same will upset people who feel they aren't progressing properly or that people aren't getting penalized for actively working to keep their rank.

The solution to MMR isn't as simple as "well, just do this" or Valve would have done it. I think it'll take an overhaul of the system; perhaps even a new type of ranking system, breaking away from the elo-mould altogether. I can't even conceptualize what that would look like though.
I've got the wit of the staircase with atomic clock precision and the phases of the moon directing all of my decisions, like this...

- You cannot ever have a positive score, you must always have more deaths than kills. It was funnier if applied to all 5 players.

- You must only build items that make sense and that you can hold (swords for knights, staffs for mages, at least 2 boots, you dont want to walk around barefeet in the woods). Difficulty depends a lot on the hero.

- You can only build boots and rapiers.

- You can never build complete items, only buy components.

i have around an 80% win rate with venge and have played her in every position except for offlane (i think). she's really versatile in pubs, IMO. a reliable stun, initiation, the debuff, the buff for your physical dmg allies. i'm glad i've seen her get some love in pro games recently. one of my favorite supports/semi-carries.

Blink dagger....Really?

Try Thor omi knight, all thunder hammer all the time. Sure you think its sounds to easy to win, but you try to farm with him.

You farm faster with an attack only techies than a random noob that never played the game does tryharding. Farming challenges are easy.

Pick an enemy hero and just mirror his item build. You can never have more items than him. You can put stuff on your courier, but not on your hero.

wtf emulator

although you were always a bad storm

I think

I hope you are trolling. I looked at Dotabuff and I've never actually lost a storm game with you on my team. The last one I played with you I had 24 kills and 800 GPM. It's also the hero I used when I first climbed past 5k MMR.

Definitely sub-mason tho

Seriously?! Mason had freefarm in every fucking game at the ti due to the icredible drafts of ppd. There isnt a single game where his farm was contested in any way. Every 4k player gets farmed like this so do not even try to fucking compare him with fear.


I'd have put a kappa but I figured people would get the sarcasm without one.
