LOL

It's the opposite man! The floor is fucking nasty (it's this shitty sand wood color) but I'm improving the lighting.

The most important part is you got a totally reasonable TV stand, which is the key to any good TV.

And if your looking to stream Dota, I would recommend looking to a chrome cast or something along those lines. Unless you plan to have you PC right next to the TV. Mine is in the other room, so I use the Apple TV or Xbox 360.

Your problems are solved then. You should also consider investing in some cheap USB controllers for games like Tower Fall, Samurai Gun, Lethal League and Speed Runners.

I have a Xbox 360 controller, but not sure how far the wire goes, so that's my worry. But at least I'll be able to watch movies and show on TV.

Might get wireless mouse/keyboard, etc.

I think I might be done with ranked Dota for a couple of months. There is nothing enjoyable about it and I don't think people know why they click that button. I had more fun with captains draft or random draft with stacks, even if some of the kids were way worse than me.

I should play some ranked just to get those 100 points to hit 3k, but that would require me to actually play, which I haven't done in like a week.

the pick system blows. I was cruising when it had the ranked system...the moment it reverted I lost like 75% of my games bc I couldn't select the hero I wanted to play without being counter picked by all 5 people on the enemy team.

im obviously exaggerating, but ranked pick is so much better. you still get 5 carry lineups, but at least the enemy team cant pick against you too heavily.

Had a really low goal to hit 4000 MMR and stopped playing ranked after it.

Best dota decision of my life.

I never play all picked unless I want to test a build.
RD/SD are still the best by a mile

I cant stand the queue times for those modes

then sometimes you get a team where no one can play the heroes they have...disaster.

I'd rather 5 carries and everyone is competent on their hero than some shmuck playing support single pulling every wave. my patience for incompetence is exhausted at work

Yeah, 4K MMR is totally like a year long effort and just don't have the energy for that. I have a positive win rate, but I win like 5 out of 9 games. With the amount I get to play, I just feel like my dota time could be spent doing anything more enjoyable.

I am also really tired of seeing the same picks all the time. For the last month it has been Ax creep skipping at level 1 and people being dumbfounded by it. Hence the desire for captains draft.

I don't, thats the problem. I get in like 4-5 games a week max. And thats if my girl has band practice like 2 days that week, which is not often. I get like 25 MMR every week and a half. I just did the math last night and realized I was wasting my time.

I'd like to play captain's draft more for fun but I'm still so traumatized by my last captain's draft mode where we had two British guys for some reason in USE who had close to no idea how to play and the guy who got Visage didn't even get Familiars until level 9 (WHY). While I admit to getting a bit angry in my attempt at leadership they started spouting crap like, "U MAD BRO" and by then I knew it was over so why even bother. I mostly gave up on solo queue as well, just don't find it fun or a very productive time spender and I don't have the desire to reach 4k, let alone 3k so I decided to play with friends here and there instead.
