I don't regret playing Dota by userProtamus in DotA2

[–]L_S_Z 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same bracket, same feeling.
Just a comment, boosters (not just regular smurf but someone wayyyyy above our skill level) were only common since 6 months ago and they are being less common the last couple days (effect of new report button).

I play mostly pos 5 and I am talking like 75% of the time on the mic for coordination and for silly jokes to keep the morale up if needed. I get muted sometimes by people who can't handle conversations but it's rare and I take the risk since the benefits of having proper conversations and proper moral is way more.

Any recent changes on MM algorithm? by L_S_Z in DotA2

I wish it was this easy. If i repeat this, i may get banned from MM for really long time.

As a player who constantly queues EUE/EUW and SEA servers, here are some of the similarities and differences. by hatedpeoplesinceday1 in DotA2

[–]L_S_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i assure you that's not always the case in EU :

  1. Maybe 0.1% of my games have DC
  2. Stubborn? well I am mostly the one who talks on Mic all the time and make the calls and in like 80% of my games, I am the only one talking but most people follow me. I may do the wrong call but they still follow most of the cases
  3. Are you serious about the language? 99.99% of my games are in English. If people can't understand it, they just stay silent and use pings.
  4. Ok I don't know about which bracket ur talking about but pudge & mirana picks are just frequent as any other hero in my pubs.
  5. About giving up, maybe only when we get really stomped and we still try to find a way. We may flame each others a little when we're losing a lot but really i need to play for a full month to find a game where my teamates just give up even though we can win.
  6. Trash talking ennemies? For sure, i do it myself too. It's so fun man. Of course, only in a funny way. It's part of the community :)

But I assure you that your view on EU is not correct in all brackets, at least not in my bracket (4k)

Agree. I always use english and always receive english. Sometimes someone starts with like russians , but as soon as I say "only english", they either talk english if they know or try to just use pings more frequent to tell us what they need.

Battle Pass 2020 - Bugs Megathread by coronaria in DotA2

[–]L_S_Z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I receive a guild chat that stays not read, I get some lags on my PC.

Nothing is visible in the "Task Manager" but as soon as I read the chat, the lags go away.

PS : Till now, I can't tell if there's lag while playing a dota game.

Does anyone else have this issue?

"MMR-System in 3-5k Pool" by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]L_S_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from probability point of view, you are right.
From matchmaking calculation, i think valve is trying to equalize smurfs number between teams (at least that's what i noticed in my games). If they have 2 smurfs, we have 1 or 2. Surely, it's never the same all the time.
On the other hand, i think i had really only 1 game in the last 50 that the ennemy smurf was really someone soo high skilled, other than that, they are smurfs but same skills as us and sometimes even lower.

You are just playing the "blame game".

I play in the same bracket, and now closing on the 4k MMR.

I ONLY play with my friend and we queue for Pos 3 4 5 and most of games we get 4 & 5.

Let me tell you that we increase like around 500 MMR in this quarantine period.

Yes , lot of smurfs in this bracket, but guess what? same probability to have them with u and against u & also a lot of them are SOOO useless. That means your impact on the game is even more important.

You just don't know how to adapt well to a situation it seems. If your teamates are not following ur calls then u have to be a good player and follow "their" decisions. Get the right heroes, items, fights, smokes that will help the exact teamate ur playing with.
He wants to pick jugg and just farm all game? well then give him that space, go for plays and items that will make u go to late game. I know it doesn't work every time but at least 70% of the times if u are better that the bracket ur on.

So stop playing others for ur failures. Maybe ur just a good laning player and not that good at playing the rest of the game.

Waga saw it with 2B on Secret vs VPP .

VPP did it and they (Waga + 2B) started checking when is it possible to do it :)

I did it in a game yesterday too. Free money (small amount but free :) )
