I just checked the 6.68 changelog again, Mek AoE and HP regen buffed so we'll be seeing +7 HP regen aura (instead of +6, wtf midgame pushers, with a big satyr thats +9) abused a hell of a lot more o_o, plus the arcane boots

edit
all this with a headdress (+3 hp regen aura)**

some trilane mids are strong enough to ward off 5 man pushes... it just depends... the new cm system makes the whole thing more annoying to pull off imo

Yeah, it requires some stupidly good subtle picking. You can technically get away with it if you pick potential "gank" line ups with a jungler like Enigma and head fake a 4 support + 1 hard carry lineup.

Trying to do this when you don't have last pick isn't recommended since THD/Pitlord can pretty much handle a push line up by themselves and bait your entire team into a mid game what-the-fuck-can-we-do situation where you overpush and they hold a lane.

You know, I haven't been playing dota in like foreverrr and I kinda have a small craving for it again.

How/where do people play dota nowadays? still on bnet? (there was a pretty good dota channel but I can't remember) Garena?
Aiyeeeee

DotA on B.net is pretty much done all by bots now. There's nothing good in terms of IHLs, pubs are trash in general so unless you like bashing your head in 9 times out of the 10, then you probably want to stay away from b.net unless you know people.

Garena is slightly better in terms of skill but still pretty bad overall. The TL people is probably your best bet to be honest. That is if you can get into their password-protected vent channel to find their asses on Garena to get a game in which I have tried 3 times today.

PS - is etherone on 24/7?

So after I took a break from HoN to play some EVE with another group of TL guys, and the mandatory SC2 sessions I came back this week and played my first game with the TL crew and during this experience this revelation hit me: How useless and trivial the whole stat system is

For solo play sucks because your rating can be destroyed by a sting of retarded teammates, and for team play (I mean IH style not Clan Wars) it sucks because people are scared to fight a team with even 5% chance of winning...

A ladder for teams like the one SC2 has and keeping IH's and solo play out of it would have been a better choice IMO. Hell even Riot's approach of hidden ELO (that so many people argued against) looks better to me.

It also sucks for the new players because they are either stuck playing with terribles or causing insane amounts of rage.

I don't know it's just a thought/feeling that I developed thru my HoN experiences today.

*I love the new boots and Sniper is pretty cool, but sucks in public games because like people said in the TLn channel, he's gankbait. I look forward to someone owning with it in Clan Wars.

variance is a bitch - but psr still works as an indicator of skill.
the only games where i observed there were less scrubs and ragers is above 1750 psr average games, as you cant get there by owning 1600+ games.
the best way to handle your psr is to completely ignore it as long as it is high enough to join games of a skill you feel comfortable with.
this sentence has no meaning.

PSR/ELO is an illusion of skill, whether you see beyond that number is more indicative of your skill than anything. Then again, people love placing total faith in numbers.

This is a problematic dilemma for games like these. Assuming you play to win every game, you'll be playing pubs differently than organized games depending on what heroes you get.

I think PSR is a good indicator of what it's used for: likelihood of each player/team winning the game. It doesn't say much about real skill, but it is called pub skill rating for a reason.

psr, win% all are easily inflated by playing locks with people better than you

that said, unless you're extensively getting carried by people who are way better than you into games you shouldn't be in, most of the time, psr and win% are pretty good. i feel confident in saying a 1700 player with an 80% win is better than a 1600 player with a 55% win in most cases
edit: and if the psr difference is large enough, it alone can be pretty good (again barring circumstances like deliberate losing etc). i don't think many people will argue that an 1800 player is likely to be worse than a 1200 player
