the echo sabre slow probbly didn't work before, also nullifier slow after you attack probably didn't proc. Both are assumptions, not sure at all if they even proc now.

Is the "hidden pool" a thing?

I've had a winning streak (like 10 or so games), and now I'm matched with people who only talk russian, not a single english word, and we lose all games as it is quite hard to coordinate anything when you can't communicate.

Also they seem quite stressed, a lot of nahuy, pizdec and ebany is what their communication consist on.

Just unlucky or is there something to it?

What's the strat when new season kicks in? Play ranked since the first day to get tryhards or wait a week to let the dust settle?

It might be a bit more toxic at the start - with like 3 morons picking mids and games turning into flame/tilt fests.

I'll give it a few days

Was the matchmaking changed recently?

I restarted playing with the new patch having stopped after the TI battle pass.
Now in every game there are people 1-1,5k MMR higher then me and pretty much every game is a stomp.

e: also wasn't the matchmaking changed to group up people in your country? This also doesn't seem to be the case anymore.


outdated with the new mmr system
wow, this gank is gonna be easy....

How do you offlane in 7.07 with the removal of Iron Talon for some heroes? I've been trying to abuse the fog of war to just try and leech xp but most of the time their supports will just make my life hell and if their carry player is decent they can control the creep equilibrium while their supports zone the f out of me.

I don't think most offlane heroes can jungle in lower levels especially with the removal of iron talon, and not especially in lower level games.

Do you just try your best to leech the XP from lane with the increased XP radius on patch 7.07 or do you just say fuck it and try to jungle the best you can?
Keep moving forward

Well there should be a second support or a roamer that relieves the pressure either in lane or forcing supports to help out elsewhere.

And of course ... Then there's the runes

Use trees to juke a lot. Disrupt creep equilibrium by pulling creep aggro yourself or forcing enemy to attack you inside creep aggro range.

Be creative and play more boldly even if it might mean making mistakes. If you play passive and are too afraid of dying, it is hard to improve.

Solo offlane is an art. Even at pro levels, laning skills of offlaners differ a lot. It is less apparent these days because it is more efficient big picture wise to rotate supports around to help out different lanes, so you don't see a static 1v3 offlane. In pubs, it still happens quite often, you just have to suck it and hope your teammates create space for you mid game.

do you mean legend no stars with plain?
that's 3360-3500

You can go to your ingame profile, go to stats and it will still show your mmr there.

oh right
So I'm 3.5K at Legend1
And calibration is nothing like calibration from scratch I assume
I went 9-1 high stats in every game and I just got the regular points I would if I wasnt calibrating and went from 3.3 to 3.5kOO

That sounds about right.

I went a whooping 2-8 and basically lost about 100mmr.

The annoying thing is that I calibrated party first, which is lower than my solo rating.
Now my badge shows the lower party rating, despite calibrating much higher mmr in solo.

there were some bugs regarding medals, but playing some seemed to fix.

Same here. I got legend 1 with 4.2k solo while my gf got archon 1 with about 3k. I think it has to do with her solo being at 1.8k, but my solo and group were both above 4k.

€: But dont get me wrong, im perfectly fine with that. No more super hard uphill battles for me all the time when im playing with my girlfriend, i can finally play relaxed dota again.

I know you can add an item to quick buy by shift+clicking the item in the shop. But then when you click another item it overwrites what you already had there. How do you add more items to quick buy without erasing what is already there?
