To be fair though, the old Bnet didn't have matchmaking for custom games either. It's not even an issue of matchmaking, it's that there is 0% chance of running into another team of 3. Because you can't join as 3. Hence, if we make as 3 we're guaranteed to never run against another team of 3. This makes no sense  | ||

Hence, if we make as 3 we're garenteed to never run against another team of 3. This makes no sense This is the main reason why I stopped playing DotA. That and WC3's UI isn't conducive to these games, and SC2's UI isn't any better. Oh well, it's not like I want to get hooked on this right after dropping LoL. | ||

First you have to find a game with exactly 3 people, somehow know that these 3 people created the game as a team, then invite your two other friends and hope they can join before someone else takes their spot. It's Bnet 1.0 all over again. | ||

If I have a group of three, I will almost always be Creating a game because I don't want to have to rely on some semi-afk/douche/not-my-problem host to invite two of my friends into a game in which he's 90% of the time going to be a solo anyways. If I create a game, there's 0 chance of another 3-man team joining my game because they, too, will be creating a game. Hence, guaranteed to never encounter a random 3v3, except in a full 6-man invite ala Inhouse or pre-determined match (via a third-party ladder or something). That said...

And WC3's interface wasn't any better but at least the odds of running into another team wasn't 0%. Impossible and not likely are different things, the latter you have to deal with as a consequence of non-MM systems, that's fine. The former is a joke, in the year 2010. | ||

The lobby random team generation might be a bug. I'll talk to Maxstorm and get that fixed. And i'll also try and get some high level replay. | ||

Keep in mind that the map looks different because it was during a christmas event. But it's basically the same thing. Defense system changed from then, also some skills got nuffed. 90% of this replay is basically the same as the english version. Download Replay I think you can view this from EU too even if the map is not up yet. (i think it connects to korean server and download the map to view) The map will be published on EU server before the end of this week. (most likely sunday) PS. got the random team thing fixed. Now the game starts like how the team is in lobby. | ||

The queen seemed to pwn late game, destryoing all those buildings with ease. I wonder why so many DTs were used, cause theyre so good a killing heros? Cant wait for EU release^^ | ||
