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 on the other hand just lost like 8 straight games with rhasta

Question:
Why does parts of the community take valve saying "We aim to release an update by the end of august" to mean "We will definitely have an update ready by the end of august" ?
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

I'm so ok with that. The longer there are no techies the happier I will be.

Really I can't think of any new heroes that I want in the game. Techies are gonna be a disaster for a month, and like Winter Wyvern / Oracle / Arc Warden all look like utter trash.

i would like to go on the road to 5k but i also want to random and not play the same hero all the time. I guess both isn't possible for me.. what do?


this is my biggest annoyance with ranked and having an MMR. it makes you want to get better, but in my opinion getting better means that i learn to play most of the heroes in the pool, if not all. like you said, picking your best hero and grinding games is ez.

its a good thing that anything below 5k isnt considered a serious game, so if you're looking to have fun, you'll never get flamed, right!?

still waiting on patch. one more weekend without techies before i go back to work..i can live with this.
