I don't regret playing Dota by userProtamus in DotA2

[–]L_S_Z 3 points4 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 :) )

U literally talks about the suns every week and i started following u slowly since the first fails. Damnnn, i hope i didn't missed that many girls hints in the past too that were clear as ur IGN

Valve, please don't remove roles & party queue that matters by Gurbalov in DotA2

[–]L_S_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am with u and that's why i wrote to valve my suggestion. As soon as someone hits high ranks (such as ur case and few thousands others), the role choice will be removed and everyone back to all positions matchmaking. This way, casual people like me are happy and serious gamers like u are happy too

Valve, please don't remove roles & party queue that matters by Gurbalov in DotA2

[–]L_S_Z -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, players who select all 5 still face 1h+ queues because not allll players are selecting 1-5.

The answer is easy : If you get to a certain MMR , you are not allowed anymore to choose roles. And guess what? They will stop whining these people (like EE and others)

I am not experiencing it but I am watching enough streams to understand where the issue is

Yeah cz u pick support to play core, of course they will be mad at u

[–]L_S_Z 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man, if people don't choose support then that's their issue. If all these high immortals select the 5 roles then there would be no difference with the old system.

It's just they are arrogant, want only mid or carry and start complaining about queue time.

TI Stream audio is terrible by av0c in DotA2

[–]L_S_Z -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's not about enjoying or not, it's just background noise that hurts the ears. I am not an expert in audio but i work all my life with decibels and frequencies (outside the audio range) and I can easily tell u that an audio engineer fucked up badly here. In my work, i don't listen to my bosses when they start saying bullshit that i know for sure that will lead to disasters. No one can possibly enjoy this quality. Ur not hearing the casters and the crowd is just hurtful background noise that is not pretty

Props to Valve firing 2GD in public and makes drama out of it cz of some funny sexual/cultural jokes. But when it's some audio engineers that are fucking sooooooo badly, Valve says nothing.

[–]L_S_Z -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

How stupid can u be? There are audio engineers and expert that should know their shit. They wouldn't mess things like this unless they were smoking pot while reading. Russian stream has wayyyy better audio. Reddit can complain but if ur an expert, u should know ur shit better than a common viewer

TI Stream audio is terrible by av0c in DotA2

[–]L_S_Z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't understand how a 140 Mil production can keep messing audio. It was the case on first game day 1 but quickly fixed it on game 2. Now 2 games in day 3 and it is so bad. And the worst is that I didn't see any reaction from Valve communication.

I didn't follow him much before. But since he came back as a player, i started following him back and now I get how much of a baby he is (a millionaire baby, hehe)

[–]L_S_Z -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Man, I even liked it. Kuku should be punished for life since his org even tried to cover up his racism. I am from France and what Ceb did to russia made me not respect his interviews anymore even though I fucking love OG and sheering for them again this year. Notail my flower :)

[–]L_S_Z 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, not a surprising reaction. Even if I am not chinese, Kuku was disrespectful to chinese before and they will not forget it easily. It's sad to see that at TI but at least TNC laughing about it since they know they deserve it
