Mirana as well. Can be played as a carry, but better off not to, especially in this lineup.

Or a BS who at 25min was still trying to get radiance while he had threads and a wand while the other team was knocking our T4's down. The examples are endless. Not to mention that these guys random like they're some top amateur team or something | ||

I don't buy, "years of Dota experience with a 50-200 games guy" crap anymore, except smurfs. My cousin with 4 years of HoN experience (and sporadic dota experience before that) started playing dota 2 about a week ago. | ||

It was meant as in people shouldnt not random in ranked where you dont posses a good knowledge of all heroes. if you want to play random go play AR, no prob with that | ||

MMR allows players who have over 150 games to start queuing right ? What can you accomplish in terms of experience after 150 games ? 1. Smurf / new accounts. A lot of people have secondary accounts; it was more helpful before because getting out of low prio happened after a time period instead of number of games played. Also dodging mute bans. 2. Queues where the player pool is really small. Very few people queue on stuff like single draft / captains mode / captains draft. Hence you're more likely to get games with greater variance in skill for those modes. 3. Plenty of people queue with friends who are much better or worse than them, especially in unranked. If you're getting something as extreme as a 1500 win player in the same game as a 300 win player, chances are the 300 wins guy is playing with a stack of buddies with really high MMR. 4. Dota 1 experience. It actually makes a pretty big difference. I had absolutely no experience with mobas before I played Dota 2. It took me a lot more games to get a decent skill level than some guys I play with who were long time Dota 1 / HoN players and were as good as me with about half the games played Come on, there are pretty logical variables and inconsistencies when it comes to matchmaking in a 5v5 game, especially one thats free and hence allows you to make as many accounts as you want. It really baffles me that people still complain about matchmaking in Dota | ||

And more often than not, those people don't bother to repick if they got a shitty hero not fitting into the composition (of course, why would they, if they were that clever they wouldn't have randomed that late in the first place) | ||

Support CK buying smoke and wards, sigh. | ||

Axe dives constantly and feeds early, and Lion goes 0-10-9. How the hell do you not get a kill with finger? The answer is to never use it. Or any spell really. I think I saw one hex and one earth spike all game. Meepo is the easiest thing in the world to counter pick (get any kind of magic damage/aoe (Hi qop warlock-riki)), and even though our omni played decently, he was still an omni. Only bright side to this game was that my Puck still made things happen. I basically won all three lanes for the team, and I'm playing on garbage internet that likes to freeze randomly for 2-3 seconds at a time. Took a lot of balls to jaunt to my orb when freezing started, even better to see I had gotten a kill and accidentaly dreamcoiled riki when it caught back up. Still, stupid ass team was stupid | ||
