Be the guy who is willing to go down and talk to other departments about things and how to make their job easier. It makes your life easier when you need favors. Also people think you are a wizard when you do things just by asking via email.

the way valve is going about recalibration seems really stupid and wrong
forcing every player to recalibrate where many are gaining or losing significant amounts of mmr based on just a small sample size of games is silly
it's not like they had 6 months aka a significant sample size of games to properly place people and only now are people going to where they belong
dota already had a significant amount of uncontrollable variables that can't be accounted for when determining mmr aka how to create balanced and fair matches but randomly giving or taking significant amounts of mmr from people just adds to that uncertainty making future games more likely to be less balanced and lower quality
it'd be one thing if recalibration was self-selected or was only forced on people who had played under X number of games in the last month, but a blanket recalibration for everyone where everyone's mmrs, which again, were determined through 6 months of gameplay, are being shuffled around serves no purpose other than appeasing reddit
the 4.5k player who's now 5k because he went 6-4 in placement matches isnt magically any better and any team he's on going forward is slightly more likely to lose as a result of this, and vice versa also applies

Just blame reddit for whining about everything and move on

Well, I'm an intern in an insurance company for various analysis things. So I don't really have permission to order office supplies yet, and I didn't have permission in the system to do much of anything yet. Found out what I'll be doing though, essentially someone wrote a back end for cognos in java and uh, provided zero documentation for it and then got a job at amazon in seattle. And I'm apparently now the most knowledgeable person in java in my department lol. No access to the code so I'll just be twiddling my thumbs or attending meetings until that happens.

I finished calibrating and as expected dropped to ancient 3 and lost almost 1k mmr
I won 4 and lost 6
fun stuff
