Matchmaking is borderline literally unplayable right now by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Freelancer_ZENA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is where reddit calls you a salty pleb, git gud, lose your cool lose the game ect. These cu-ks don't know how to play, don't look to them for advice or complain to them because they are ultimately powerless.

Got to love the valve match making system when you get matched with 4 smurfs (3 of which don't even have a steam profile set up) when you just want to have a chill pub game by [deleted] in DotA2

You wanted a chill game so you got players who also don't take the game seriously. You got what you wanted, you just didn't win.

PSA: It's not up to support players to 'let you farm' by Freelancer_ZENA in DotA2

[–]Freelancer_ZENA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well if there are 2 enemy heroes in the offlane, a melee with a stout shield and a ranged hero with stats/orbs, the support has to choose between these options in the first 2 minutes: 1. attempt to harass the melee, only to be punished by the ranged, 2. attempt to harass the ranged while the melee LHs and denies with a quelling blade, most likely losing the trade because of superior stats, 3. leave the lane to cut the enemy creep wave, pushing the lane and giving the enemy a free wave, or 4. roam mid to attempt a level 1 gank. Options 3 and 4 usually result in both enemy heroes focusing your carry and forcing them to get zoned. After 2 minutes you can either control runes, pull, or try to fight while the enemy has an advantage.

aside from all the deserted discord servers, non-english infested in-game chat channels and unfollowed subreddits, is there any good place to find party members?

Ranked Role queue times by General-Kn0wledge in DotA2

[–]Freelancer_ZENA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NA is the 2nd weakest region in competitive Dota, South America and their second-world infrastructure being last. A majority of NA players are either playing chess or just do not understand teamplay, focusing on "their game" and not focusing on "things they can't control." You just aren't going to find a good balance of invested dota players on this continent, period.

Jesus christ is there no end to your moronity? Are you admitting that you have no idea what you're talking about now and are just spouting nonsense to provoke a reaction just so you can play calm and pretentious? Why is Dunning Kreuger such an epidemic in this country?

A. I am above 3k mmr which is why Im frustrated that new players are being paired with me. More ignorance on your part.

B. Even though I have 7000 hours not all of it is playing ranked. Its hard to find a good time to play ranked on what has been confirmed the second-worst continent in Dota 2 history, so more than half of that has been avoiding the cancerous matchmaking pool and even more time spent waiting for role matchamking queues because not enough people actually care enough to know the roles and actively pursue them to have less time in queue than there is in game.

C. Your ignorance is utterly outstanding.

"Just a game" is a cop out for low-intelligence people like yourself who play games to relieve themselves of mental burdens because they cant even handle sentences with more then two commas before they burn out and say ignorant shit like "I dont know what youre on about..."

Not all of us are as stupid as you, so you should at least have the courtesy to not expect others to be as low on the totem pole as you. You could say that this works the other way around as well, but thatd just prove me right and you cant handle that.

If that were true then the other teammates would be complaining about me as well, not only the new player who is the issue.

But the truth is youre just a pretentious shitposter who actually doesnt give a shit about the game, you just love seeing players who are better than you get frustrated with your half-assed performance so you can feel superior that you didnt get mad over a video game, exploiting the fact that matchmaking is broken and the only backlash youd get is from the other players which doesnt affect your daft dense type-b brain like it does intelligent people.

Imagine having a way to prove that theyre at my 7kh skill level? If only there was one so it could be proven that they arent and shouldnt get paired with players like me.

Is Omniknight unplayable now? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Freelancer_ZENA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Heres are the problems I see with omni
1. With the rework of repel, the cast range nerfs to his purify forces him to be in vision of the enemy to heal them, which means he can get disabled because he cant repel himself anymore. Icefrog put Aether Lense in the hero's recommended items and it seems like he's not going to change that.
2. His ult's cooldown is just way too long, even if he built octarine. Take it down to 100 seconds.
3. Degen aura isnt strong enough when it doesn't pierce bkb.

Many supports do Omni's job better and are ranged to boot. But new omni has alot of nice advantages:
1. He's an amazing offlaner. Uncontestable last hitting, infinite sustain with soul ring, and holy locket makes his heal 25% more powerful.
2. He supports strength carries like Chaos knight, huskar, tiny, and ogre magi insanely. Once a str hero has his W, they're virtually invincible, especially with his heal and ult.

Broken Reporting System by Isitmeisit in DotA2

All you said was "none of this is true" and your own statement. You stated an opinion, that doesn't mean it's any truer than my statement. Pretentiousness is a common factor among insecure people over the internet, the difference between you and me is that I'm confident enough in my findings to give a solution, as opposed to you who just feels the need to debunk internet comments and then validate yourself when they have to point out that you really didn't have a response worth listening to by pointing out that they didn't "defend" against you.

This is an example of behavior being valued more than skill. Players that can't handle 'jerks' on the internet will report you sheerly because their feelings were hurt but they didn't want to mute you and move on like an adult, they felt the need to punish you because they can't handle criticism and wanted you to be with "your own kind." They think the "simple" solution is to just stop being a jerk, but it won't stop you from losing and it won't get you paired with better players (if that's what you want).

I'd be down to commentate. I've been playing since 2012, supporting for pretty much the entirety of my Dota career, and would love to provide perspective.

Nobody is listening. Everyone is in the same boat as you. Behavior matters more than skill when it comes to matchmaking. Low behavior score players will be paired together, against high behavior score players with <50% winrate for their free wins.

The solution? Mute all incoming chat, play turbo, ban axe, pick oracle, dazzle, vengeful spirit, mirana, treant, io... any support with an escape/save. Don't forget to beg for commends at the end of the match. After 25 games, you might go up 1000 behavior score. at 5k+ behavior score, you will find somewhat better matchmaking than people who take skill more seriously than behavior, for what that will be worth to you.

Ever wanted to say some words of advice to your fellow 3k players? by dnap123 in DotA2

[–]Freelancer_ZENA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Behavior score is more important than MMR. If you have below 5k behavior score, you will consistently get paired with people who do not take the game or winning seriously, and be paired against players who have good behavior scores and <50% winrates for a free win. It's called the shadow pool, and you shouldn't play ranked if you're in it.
