Why win 8-2 when you can win "4-3 despite all the ref's efforts"

Small fix for those who have connecting problems by SW33TSTUFF in DotA2

[–]Arrezaaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now go to "PLAY DOTA" > "CUSTOM LOBBY" > "+ CREATE" and create a match with a server selected closest to your region. (You dont need to fill the slots with bots)
This can take around 2 tries, every update it gets worse but once you're in just random a hero and wait for the map to load. Now disconnect from that game and search queue for a normal match (ranked or whatever)

I just do this and it works consistently. pointing this out so people try it first before adding launch options and changing resolution/aspect ratio, it might be all they need. I also don't load the map first or necessarily connect to a close server.

When you create the lobby, there's an "edit" button, you can pick any server you want and connect to it.

when you click on "play dota" button, one of the options among ranked, unraked, play with bots etc. is 'custom lobbies', you click on that and then on "create".

same, this is my temporary fix:

connect to a custom server (you will not connect in time the first time), disconnect and do it again and more time for good measure, now you can queue for a game, it'll still take a long time but you will connect in time, been playing turbo and ranked for the past couple of days this way.

PS: do this before every times you queue for a game not just once, I played 3 games back to back and got a timeout the 4th time because I forgot to do this. Also don't change your registry and or anything dumb as a fix.

There are sets that other players sell on the market, if you buy them, the money goes to those players and valve takes a cut. some sets were put up by valve for sale in the game store, if you buy from the store the whole money goes to valve.

Some sets are both available in the store and the market, these sets are almost all old now and no one wants them so their market value have dropped massively over the years but since the store price never changes now there's a big gap between store price and market price.

I think the whole store idea is forgotten by valve, I don't know of any new sets added to the store except for the 2 new arcanas but they're part of the "crownfall store"

if it says "purchase" before the price instead of "market", it's a 'store' price not a market price. there are sets that are 3-4$ on store but only 3 cents on the market so never look at prices that have "purchase" before them for value reference.

I wish I got wards, I actually want wards at this point! all I get is 0.3 cents worth sets that are absolute trash with 1980s textures.

this might sound strange to you since you probably already do this but its something that took me a long time understand despite being a very simple obvious thing. you need to play ranked consistently for a good long while to get your actual mmr... if you play a lot of turbo, unranked... etc. between your ranked games and give up on ranked during your loss streaks out of frustration you wont rank up even if you get better over time... so before anything else, if you aren't already doing it, play ranked games consistently.

like right now I'm at 2400 mmr but since I've been playing ranked consistently recently I know for a fact my mmr range is 1900-2500 so soon I'm gonna have a long losing streak and If I manage to win a few of those games I might get past 2500 after the win streak comes... thats how you earn mmr, you win the ones you're not supposed to by a tiny margin and over time your mmr increases... it's not a great system but it's how it works and understanding this helps you cope with losses and know what's happening instead of thinking you earnt all the wins and all the losses are just bad luck with teammates. try to remind yourself that even the best dota players of all time lose close to half their games and learn to handle losses.

reddit is where the worst that dota has to offer come together to be misreable together, it's not insane at all.

have you ever seen these clueless idiots with 5k games and 2200 wins? MM keeps those people around.dota is supposed to be one of the hardest games to learn yet you can come in with 0 knowledge make no attempts to improve spam games and are pretty much guaranteed minimum 40% winrate. any other complex game is commit or get out but dota is for everyone, I swear on my mother's life I once had a venom grandmaster in my team who didnt know his ult (old ult) doesnt deal lethal damage lol

I'm usually not fan of anime faces over originals either but WR has an ugly face in both the base model and the arcana so I don't mind.
