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.

PM a mod only I'm not sure who would be ideal. There's a name-change thread on TL prime that you could try.

Or just ask for a ban and re-make the account lol.

I don't see what improving and not randoming have in common.

5k is a number, getting tired of a game could be forever. Random and have a blast.

And you will lose the MMR the instant you don't play that hero. Don't do that to your love of Dota. Random forever.

I suppose improving and raising ur mmr aren't really the same thing.

is it not allowed to do better with some heros than others? or enjoy some heros more than others?

Um...he didn't say that. Getting to 5K and getting better at Dota as a whole are two different goals. If you learn to be an amazing mid, your MMR will go up if you play mid. If you are learning to support, it will go back down. Because, you know, learning.

I'm trying to dedicate myself to support, and well my solo mmr has dropped like 500 points

I was using all* the available data points. The trend is undeniable.

*assuming time started yesterday, a very reasonable assumption

Oh shit did you find out how to pick void and tinker?

Anything works to 5k. I am just 5.1/5.2 and could probably get to 5k with any hero in the game. Would just need a few practice games so I don't calibrate too far away. Will try to prove this as soon as techies is out.

u did pretty well with just witch doctor ^_^


That was with 21 ranked games played. I am pretty sure I could have grinded it up to 5k. Was already up ~150-200 on those games from calibratition.

I'd stick with SirFloppu. Much fancier, especially if you pronounce in french.
