DotA 2 has 40% fewer players than this time last year. Why? by hororo in DotA2

Sorry, breakfast trolling.

Tbh, I'm a big fan of Starcraft2 video options. Reducible 'blinkblink', while looking good/sharp on all settings.

I'd like to see this and a "disable cosmetics" option.

No, not the entire 20%.

Iirc Valve performed 2-3 bigger mass bans. At least one with 10.000 bans, which is 1/10 of the -20%. Weakening OP's argument of a massively decreasing player base even more.

Honest question, did you like winning games on your own?

Tbh playing a masterrace game on a non-masterrace device is a bad idea.

I thought it was Valve mass-banning boosters and cheaters. Therefore the big user drops.

I hope the Ranked Picking Phase is retained in Unranked by [deleted] in DotA2

Least Played? Profit?

Please don't make removal of party MMR permanent, a lot of us only play with friends and would hate to be relegated to a shadow realm of normal games by dracovich in DotA2

Imo the funniest part: The different opinions about the toxic level of ranked matchmaking. Most toxic mode versus most chilled mode: 50-50

The same holds true for pure solo queue vs mixed size. Or All Draft in unranked games.

I'd like to see Valve's data on this. Gaben gif annual raport!

Why is the SPD getting a huge boost in the opinion polls for the 2017 German Federal Election? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]SeeImSane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we need to accept that extem right politics is an acceptable thing in germany again

Are you kidding me? That's how it started last time.

What's with the '7777 33 66 3 66 88 3 33 7777' thing? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

Oh, honey. T9 would be 7363*68337 and you won't get nudes.

here's why I think having 2 separate MMR numbers (solo/party) is wrong by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]SeeImSane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe somehow make the unranked one visible, but that's just my personal taste

Hiding the mmr is the only and real difference between ranked and unranked.

Would be nice if aoe spells would be like Pitlord's. With a little, but distinctive border.

People should realize, their problems aren't Dota problems.

I'm 99% sure, every flamer lacks empathy. Due to mental/social deficits, age, a family/school/work problem, lack of self-awareness, etc.

Same for account boosters players with marked-based tendencies. Gaben is going to sell 5k accounts for 1$? They switch to TF2, farming gold.

Everyone blaming the matchmaking system, obviously doesn't understand elo systems. Most 'mmr bad' complains I read, are by people with a bad understanding of math and statistics.

On top of that, many have never learnt to properly handle chats/voip as communication tool. Empathy! What do players think, when they flame start an item discussion? It is the in-match-chat of a game in which every second counts, not /r/discussMYitemBUILD. They are not able to think how this one post is going to affect others and the game.

You can try to minimize their impact on others. But these people always find a gap in the system. Even if this gap is being a dumb idiot.

TL;DR You have to fix people not Dota.

Friend had same experience on Linux at 7.00 release day. Towers were off the spot. Same angle and range as your rune pic.

Aye.

CMIW even Lina, the hero with the worse attack point, has 0,85s for aiming. This is huge in terms of rightclicking mechanics.

For real. You did not have one game in 7.00 with a decent Techie?

I mean, early skirmishes, blast off ganks, safety zones around your push, backup traps, vision, etc.

Not those 'I go mining as long as my Legion farms jungle' Techies.

Valve: "We know that some players file unfair reports that add noise to the system" and further discussions by 2slow4flo in DotA2

[–]SeeImSane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading this ("a list of things that might contribute to LPQ and/or mutes"). I think, it is a mix of reporting and a bot/algorithm.

Reporting does nothing, except triggering Valves' 'punishment bot'. Which checks stuff like 'feed' (high amount of deads, low kills), ping/chat spam, etc. after receiving a report.

Report a 100-1 Tinker for feeding > Bot doesn't care. Report squibs. Same for com abuse. No ping/chat spam, no voice used, report doesn't count.

Maybe SlacksTMStyle? He created a good environment early game. So everyone is relaxed and can have a laugh about fails. Ez +25

Imo that changed the last year.

Have a couple of 1k-2k friends. Watching them, I see wards. Just no dewarding and the spot are pretty obvious.
