Yeah speaking from personal experience if i really wanted to play core i would play core regardless of your feelings

There are times i care more about what i play than winning. Doubt it's very different if people see the mmr it's still a video game after all

Shouldn't majors have the same tournament style to have some consistency?

And what the fuck is with bo1 deciding DPC points (Liquid vs TNC)? Jesus Christ this system is dumb beyond belief

Plenty i get to play the hero i wanted to play. And i still win half the time so i don't care

And who is to say their "way of playing dota" is always the right way of playing it. Which is why i care little for other peoples opinion about how to play game when i play since you know i could be right and i could also be wrong.

So could others be also right or wrong.

Besides unless i'm playing on the pro-players bracket of matchmaking i would easily give the position to the highest mmr. However in lower mmr bracket i've seen "higher mmr" people singlehandedly lose the game and i've known people who farm better than people who are 1k mmr above them.

I don't think I've ever won when my carry is 1000mmr below the highest rated players who then fight over mid and go afk jungling/throwing. And I believe the idea of ranked is to win mmr. So I think being a little upset is justified. Anyway I would be totally fine with longer queues to prevent this waste of time, dota shouldn't be that dead yet.

nothing says 2018 than the mouthpiece of a billion dollar company saying shit like this again and again
I think I have to go offline for a bit to defer the suicide for now.

Ur so easily triggered?
Try and elaborate why you think it's shit. Or rather what you think is shit because there's a lot of letters on the page you linked.

I am also confused why this is upsetting. But maybe that is the point, vague snowflake style outrage.

Furion is probably one of the worst heroes to try and practice in pubs for tournaments. Every other hero has some mechanics to master and you can work on small things, but with furion a huge chunk of winning with that hero is pure decision making and abusing your enemy's decisions. If you play it against an uncoordinated group if 5 regularly enough it might even set you up for failure in a tournament due to how different and more prepared the tournament players would be
