Hotkey them once and each time you summon them after that they will automatically respond to those hotkeys. | ||

Thanks a lot DotA2 matchmaking system, you are doing your job really well. -.-" It is matching your the random team MMR (im assuming you are on the random team) and finding a suitable match based on the average. The dota2 MM system is actually pretty good since it does what it can to make you stay at or around 50% w/l which is why all these posts in here happen. People do well then the system puts them with shitty players (since almost everyone in here plays all-pick that is pretty much all you will run into) to handicap you so you have a lower chance of winning the game. I do not have many QQ's to tell on here because I only play MM games with a minimum party of 4 and we recently found a 5th that seems pretty stable so most of my games that we lose it is because one of our lanes was outpicked and/or outplayed. Most of my recent games have come from practicing things like defensive trilanes, stacking and pulling the camp the supports stack&pull (I never really did that since I usually jungle or mid), or just messin around practicing last hits. To add to the first paragraph: It is also possible that people just suck so bad that they feed/rage/leave. Side question: How many of you are in low priority queue? | ||

I have not seen one in any game I have played yet and I don't think I will unless there is a troll. | ||

Seems that it also works on AA but you need to have a good game since components arent that cheap | ||

Wait Dota2 matchmaking tries to make you stay around 50% w/l ? That's absurd lol .. how are you even supposed to go on a higher "bracket" ? | ||

Pretty much as was said above me, it will match you against better players and/or with worse players and see if you can still win vs them. It is pretty common for people to go on 10+ game win streaks and then have a very bad string of games filled with.... less desirable people. Example: my friends and I (back when we played as 3) went on a 9 or 10 game win streak followed immediately by 7-8 losses in a row because of "better" teams and some pretty terrible randoms like a void that starts boots only (not even tangos) or a pudge who builds pure int because he wants to spam his hook and doesnt take flesh heap until 13. It is an imperfect system since if you play as a 5man you have a much higher chance of winning if you are able to communicate over something like skype and you know your teams strengths and weaknesses. Being able to pick and ban wisely is pretty important too (Assuming people that run 5mans are smart enough to run captains mode  ). Something like this would gimp your team pretty bad. My team (Radiant) vs Their team (Dire). | ||

Except you can already just do Shadow Walk->Track->Shadow Walk->Crit because the cooldown on Shadow Walk is shorter than the duration after the first rank. Lothar's crits only give about 70 more damage than Shadow Walk Crits--not worth the gold spent on a redundant active. | ||
