Valve is having some kind of problem according to an official post I'm too lazy to find the link to again.

Matchmaking is fucked for me aswell.
Now nothing happens when i press the button, and before i had to wait 15 minutes for a game.
Normal time for me on EU is 2-3 minutes.

MM seems to think that a good game is 3 good players and 7 complete idiots.
the team that gets 2 wins almost every time. most people in the game suck; out of the last 30 or so games I've played my lanes have been incredibly easy with one exception where I had a bad support against a double high range lane as a morph.
I still crushed the game and won though, when they forgot about me for 20 minutes.

PA has to be the most frustrating and the most satisfying hero to play in the pool. Hearing the sound of gushing blood, seeing those red numbers reaching 4 digits, it's wonderful. Then you get 10 hits without a crit and die miserably.

Absolutely love the model/design <3 and she is always the best hero to play when you have full stack team. Just rush divine to make an exciting game!

Yeah pretty much this. For every player who makes weak decisions or plays on your team there is a similar one on the enemy team. I had some fun games playing with friends who have a much higher MMR than myself and the games usually end up with having 1-2 fat guys on either side because they abuse the mistakes everyone else makes.
Like my TA

btw... effort of pumping MMR paid off. Im now back to very high mmr ^_^... funny thing: all the games in high mmr are garbage bc its mostly stacked 1 sided while games on high mmr are much better and equal.

Thats how it was in LoL. Best matches were low elo because people sucked and they knew it, and even if people whined they were still so bad it was easy to carry. It was only once you got to mid elo that people started to think they were super hot shit and acted like it, even though they were terrible.
Then high elo just sucked cuz it was either one sided or people trolled.

anyone wanna give me pointers on how to beat a sand king in mid when they're using caustic finale and have a bottle?
The aoe on the caustic is so large, and if you get careless and the sk gets like 2-3 creep hits up and you get stunned and they explode you can basically just insta-die. I played against once with huskar, and while i didn't die in lane, i felt like i was getting outfarmed simply because i had to be so careful when the creeps weren't under my tower.
Is there a way to play to beat this? Maybe a hero suggestion?

Well caustic finale is only a problem if you're a melee hero, so part 1 is to play a ranged hero, and then look for lane control, you can harass him out of the lane pretty easily and if he wants to spend all his time camping in a sand storm then hurray for you

the AOE is massive. as a huskar i couldn't hit creeps without the aoe hitting me. i am watching ehome vs col right now and the invoker was getting hit by it too. i harassed the SK a ton but he had a bottle and got rune control by the caustic pushing the wave out forcing me to stay at the tower or miss exp (also lucky rune spawns). if i go up to harass he can hit a creep that's near dead once and stun me, doing like 400+ dmg in a second. even as a strength hero this really hurt and once he was lvl 6 i found it hard to contest knowing that he could chain ult onto me after a combo like this and kill me

Against melee heroes mid you always want to get a good block off first. Having creeps in your favour lets you dominate the melee first few levels. Huskar is a low range hero and not that good mid so I can see how SK simply beats you. True some of the more traditional mids like QoP/Bane/Tinker(Freak can't think of ranged mids). Main problem is going to be rune control and against caustic SK you almost always going to have those issues unless you force him out of lane or have help with runes.
Anyway once you have a hero just remember he can't have sandstorm/stun if he's going caustic which means you can harass him bad level 1/2. That's when you push him out and make him use his regen. After that he either goes risky route and levels up stun without sandstorm or he plays it save and goes sandstorm while being passive in lane. For the former you want to focus on lane control, always keep it in your favour since he'll constantly be pushing with caustic. He can't do anything to do if he has to run up a hill.

Huskar range is pitiful. So you can't really bash things off him. Stun range is really short early levels and going caustic means he's sacrificing his defensive capabilities as well. Crush him early before he can do that combo is my advice. If you can get help to crush him all the better.

Not many Melee/shortranged heroes can outlane SK mid who goes caustic, Dragon Knight can I think but that is about it.
