Is matchmaking based on wins or level?

Levels don't do anything. Besides the level up item.

Apparantly playing a game with the "ginger one" as she called her self. Checked her history quickly and played with vendetta most of the time in public games.

Playing under the tag Virtus.Pro N! Suprisingly playing windrunner (ginger ! )

Real?

AFAIK neither, common sense suggests it uses an ELO system that works off wins but who you win and lose against is much more important then the amount of wins. So someone with 20 wins could easily be ranked higher then someone with 1000.

People have wild theories about it being affected by KDR and in game stats but that would be the death of the system if anyone worked out what they were (if it uses them). I think a straight binary win/loss ELO has been proven effective in SC2/HoN and I doubt they'll vary from it.

SirScoots confirming Riot didn't want to allow teams to play other MOBA's, they just changed their minds. At least they saw reason, but damn that was a retarded idea.

I just thought it was hilarious how everyone instantly believed Riot when they said it was a rumor. Like what the fuck else was Riot going to say

I'm impressed how Riot was able to build such a loyal community while they keep pulling off such shady things. Good for them.

Well it is as I mentioned before. I would not put it pass Riot to consider such a thing. And the reasoning of why they did not go through with it is that it would harm them more than help. Given their nature, I bet that if they knew they could get away with it and the benefits far outweigh the harm, they would go through with it.

Given their past track record, it is pretty clear that they are taking the stance of doing what they can do to be successful even if it hurts E-sports as a whole.

As far as you know, the problem is just that they haven't found any competent russians

This upcoming all-stars thing for Chinese DotA ace league is pretty hilarious tho, it ends with a normal match between two allstar teams, but it has these variety events like.

1. I'm a good techies

One player from each team solos mid techies, the first to reach 40 cs wins, killing heroes and towers don't count.

2. Shooting Excitment

Standard 2v2 mid, first team to 4kills or both towers, no jungle

3. I Dismantle

Both teams pick 5 heroes and can only go to their advantaged lane, the first team to throne wins

4.#1 Jungle

Each team picks 5 heroes and starts in the sent/radiant jungle, they must clear the entire jungle -> Rosh, the faster timer on rosh death wins

When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

complexity confirms what Sir Scoot said:

Unfortunately this is true. JBass and myself were having a conversation about it this morning, and our management ultimately decided against it long ago. I'm glad they worked hard against it, competition is good.
