I wonder if this new MM change will make Dota enjoyable for me again. An hour ago I would have said I legitimately quit the game since I've played like 10 games over the past year, now I'm sitting here thinking of queueing again

It probably won't change anything and MM will still be shit.

Idk it sounds really considerate and like an attempt from Valve to work with their playerbase instead of designing something nobody asked for. But I feel this will go the way of everything Valve does, it'll work for a bit, then the playersbase will find a way to abuse it, instead of working/improving Valve scraps the feature because it doesn't generate a direct revenue stream and /r/dota2 will go up in flames.


Tbh, I'd be up for some Dota party shenanigans, if any of my friends still played Dota.Maybe we can organise something from here?

I just watched the Parasite movie that won the Palme d'Or this year. I liked it, though at times it was a bit too much of a movie with some overly convenient happenings.

I like the idea of this MM change, I can't wait to try it out after work. Also I hope that the second part of the summer update brings back hero grid customization, fingers crossed

I really doubt the MM update will change much in the short term, not sure what got you hyped out to try it.

Mostly the separate core and support mmr, and being able to get a role I want more reliably (hopefully)

fuck mmr
valve is right. they made solo mmr way too important in this game
rank in csgo is combined and it works just fine

like, i literally couldnt even duo/3 man queue with other high mmr friends as we cant find a game so wed have to queue unranked andthen play with legend players because everyone is only solo queueing

btw i asssume u still cant 4 man queue ranked? now with roles and shit mby they should make it possible

So, I got a letter from the Church tax institution, asking me whether I was obliged to pay chruch tax. I've never in my life been member of a Church, so I was wondering why I should bother with that and sink my little free time in it.

But the good citizen that I am, I sat down filled the form and sent it away the next day, but not without inquiring why they didn't know that I wasn't a Church member... Whether it was due to marrying my - non church member - wife or some other reason.

Couple of days later I recieved a letter from them, explaining the regulatory basis for their inquiry.
To be honest, I only skimmed over it because it cited way too many laws for me to be interested. But I was happy that they weren't tone deaf to my questions. So I wrote another e-mail thanking them for their response.
Today I received an e-mail from the institution, thanking me for my kind response.

Guys, be nice, it is worth it and makes (almost) everyone's day more agreeable.

Old folk coming back to dota just in time to create hype for TI

Solo ranked will still be toxic, but playing with friends is fun and you can climb with them so it's definitelly a win
