It took forever to get her rank (10 wins) and it finally put her into silver where she belongs. The whole time match queuing with her was worse than playing with a bot. Everyone was similar to my rank. It was difficult to get a full party to even begin with on top of getting people who don't mind the dead weight and their ranks lol. | ||

It costs less than the price of a meal at the restaurant. I know that I would sub right away if I had the skills to play there. | ||

Yeah 5-stacks for a wide range of ranks are bullshit. Basically encourages people to use smurfs to play with their low rank friends, which the just sucks for the enemy team instead of their team, but obviously people are going to do it when it comes down to choosing between stomping people with their friends vs. getting stomped. If the matchmaking system could simply deliver fairer matches for 5-stacks then this wouldn't even be a problem. | ||

Valve is ultra lazy. Yeah but if you play 3 games and do even vaguely well it'l bitchslap you into appropriate MMR games immediately. I know because I've tried to play Dota with my awful buddies, not trying, and all it takes is one game of us stomping for it to go "Hey fuck this guy, let's throw them into equivalent ~3k mmr games". And that's on an account that after 15 games had something like a 15% winrate. The little "are you a smurf?" thing at the beginning is a tiny tiny portion of dota 2's smurf detection. | ||

Any help or a finger in the right direction would be nice You can also find them by just searching in the community server browser, go to "change filters", put "surf" in the map section, pick one. Surf maps are ranked into different tiers, not sure how high it goes, but the "easy" ones are tier 1-3ish. That said, I find even some tier 1 maps pretty hard. Some surf servers. 64.74.97.225:27015 74.91.117.68:27015 | ||

At least it does that for me when im searching stuff =p -- Ive already purchased my tickets for the next gfinity event in the middle of may despite there being no information about it, i hope its as good as the last one and not a complete blowout with nobody attending lol, also if anyones going hit me up we can meet :3 | ||
