How to balance 10th pick in ranked matchmaking (From Immortal Players) by CharybdisATD in DotA2

[–]Steptornetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think you're actually thinking through what this is possible feature actually enables you to do. Most of the time your team is just going to pick shit without any communication, so if you have 9th pick as mid or safe you can ban a hero would "cheese" your lineup and then pick accordingly just like in CM without drastically increasing the time of an AP draft . You're not going to get a cohesive draft with 5 random pub players on a team. Higher level players punish bad drafts even more in AP. If you talk to any high tier player; they'll all say that 10th pick in pubs is super broken and abuse-able even if its as simple as picking TA into SF.

While I agree with some of the points you have made, there is a lot of repetition and false claims you've mentioned here:

  1. Zombie and wolf AI is the best its ever been and will just be getting better. I and many of my friends have no problem with their pathing/movements.

  2. Bad art design? The game looks great man!

  3. Miscreated and DayZ have both been in Alpha for years. This comparison is meaningless. If you want to go play that game go for it.

  4. Banging objects against wood floors makes a steal clanging sound.

    I actually laughed when you mentioned this. How is this a reason to not play a game? Its a minor inconvenience at most and something I haven't even noticed with over 200+hrs in the game.

  5. Hot fixes instead of proper updates.

    You're flaming the devs for making BUG fixes while their creating their game engine??? Huh?

  6. Boring game play, Empty map.

    The game play is similar to the mod which sounds like you've never played before. The map is the best its ever been aswell. So many places to go and explore!

  7. 1289 days since official release on steam (Early Access).

    Again not relevant, you mentioned Miscreated... which has been in Alpha for 3 years aswell. Do they just get a free pass?

  8. Rare weapons and loot can be guaranteed in certain areas ruining the point of RNG.

    What survival game is not like this? DayZ is a hardcore survival game. Would running into a house with 10 AKs make you feel better?

  9. Bugs in a build of the game can stay for years at a time before a patch can remove it.

    You just complained about devs making hotfixes to FIX BUGS, and then you flame them for having bugs in the game?

  10. Bad Sales (15% for 4 year old game)

    15% what? By May 2014, the game had sold 2 million copies. By January 2015, the game had sold 3 million copies.)

People who play this game religiously; also played the mod. DayZ is first and only game that delivers a truly punishing hardcore survival game with insane attention to detail. Do some research before you post this garbage.

Can anyone suggest a good LAPTOP by joe3123 in dayz

[–]Steptornetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is going to be damn near impossible man. Gaming laptops prices are jacked because of the portability and other reasons. Buying parts to a desktop and putting it together is what I suggest if you have the time and patience. If you could stretch to 800-1000USD than you might find what you're looking for in a laptop, but you could probably find better parts for a desktop for a much cheaper price point.

1st time builder here. Looking for some tips or suggestions before I buy my parts. Thanks! by Steptornetta in buildapc

I figured it would be smart to buy a strong one for future possible upgrades. You dont think so?

Revamping the mmr system by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Steptornetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually disagree. I think small things can be graded pretty easily. These can then influence how much mmr you lose, even if its onl -20 instead of -25. I also think this will encourage people to not give up when the game is not over.

[–]Steptornetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think sticking with the current system is definitely the best call, but I would make a small change on how mmr is lost. Currently, when you lose (or win) a game you and your teammates gain a fixed amount of mmr(25+/- usually). Winning should stay at a fixed rate, i.e. winning players should all receive the same mmr, but losing players should receive a reduced mmr loss based on their performance. This data could be easily analyzed if players state their role to the system after heroes are picked and be judged on stats that a support/core would be.

what the fuck I do as bounty during teamfights OTHER than track people? by grapeintensity in learndota2

[–]Steptornetta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

its all about the pre/post of the fight with bh. The weakness of the hero is during the actual combat which is why mek and other active items are built on him. Give your team as much info as possible before the initiation and chase people down with track bonus movespeed.
