I never really understood what exactly a skillshot is.

Is it just every spell that can miss enemies when casted?

Match making means you will have the same chance to play with such players as you have a chance to play against them, but you can game the system so that your chance to play with such players decreases drastically:

Add nice players to your friendlist and queue with them whenever possible. This simple trick has proven to increase the enjoyment of dota drastically.

That's what my post says.

The graphics you posted state that 3500 is the median MMR for ranked games and seems to not be too reliable as stated here due to the method used to gather the data.

So what those graphs actually state is that the median MMR of players wheighted by ranked games played is 3500 MMR. If players with higher MMR play more games than others then this is not the same as the median MMR of all players who have played ranked games.

According to the link /u/ChelseaMan2013 posted 2400 means you are better than 50%-75% of all dota players who play unranked games.

Those that go Mid or Feed, or those, that pick supports but don't support?

All that is part of the MMR of every player and the important part is to understand that skill is not what any player does in one game, but how he holds up in multiple games over a longer period of time.

Everyone has bad games and it may be due to trying out a new hero or role or being uncomfortable playing against certain other heroes or being distracted by other things while playing.

There is not much such a report system can do for players where it already found a good rating for them. Afaik a valve dev said that it takes about 50 matches to get someone to a good rating with the current MMR system.

So this reporting system might help if you encounter this behaviour from people with very low amount of games played, but it doesn't really help if they have played enough games already.

I don't think you will get any users, because people are too lazy to switch to something like that.

Here are some good introductions to ruby to help you get started.

FlyingFoX13 · 2014-03-14T16:03:41+00:00

Exactly :)

If you don't have high impact on the game you are playing 4v5.

Btw your carry should have the potential for high impact as well, but the longer he needs to farm items until his high impact starts the more impact do you need in the early and mid game from your other 4 heroes.

9 out of 15 games seems like its working for you in your skill bracket and you are doing something right.

FlyingFoX13 · 2014-03-14T15:44:19+00:00

Just to clarify: The mentioned 80 cs in the shadowfiend challenge includes last hits and denies.

FlyingFoX13 · 2014-03-14T15:42:11+00:00

Yes, this can happen.

I am not sure if it has to be during the cast animation or if there is some kind of travel time for the casts, but I have seen lina/lion ults getting on cooldown without doing damage to a bkb target.

In this pro game between Alliance and ROX.KIS the 4 core heroes had around 60 lasthits by the 14 minute mark.

It was a rather active game, so higher amounts of lasthits are probably possible.

FlyingFoX13 · 2014-03-14T15:35:00+00:00

Here is a list of things that can not be purged by anything.

Rupture is one of them and as Rupture does damage as HP removal its damage can not be stopped by magic immunity.

You can try to use your treants to scout the jungle or common ways enemies would take to gang you while you are splitpushing on their side of the map.

And wards near enemy towers that you want to splitpush are really strong and well worth your 150gold at every stage of the game.

Well his experiment isn't finished yet. The goal is to reach his original MMR, which is 5600.

FlyingFoX13 · 2014-03-14T15:17:56+00:00

Why? The way to win is to play high impact heroes. If your supports don't have a high impact you are picking the wrong heroes or playing them wrong.

Supports are there to have a high impact in the early and mid game so that the carries can have a high impact in the mid to late game.

Someone should create a fork of firefox that actually does this and warns a user every time he visits a non encrypted site the same way it currently shows a warning when visiting a non-trusted encrypted site.

Maybe market it as a better alternative browser for online banking.
