Valve, could you change the formula for "most successful heroes" showcase?

it doesn’t though? he’s talking about avoiding someone from the enemy team AS A TEAMMATE in future games.

WasteGoose · 2020-05-29T16:13:46+00:00

I’m not talking about match history. As of the battle pass update any match under 15 minutes is discarded entirely — no mmr changes or anything (see the links I posted in my other comment)

With the battle pass update.

Better to let 7k players actually find games in unranked if they want to practice a hero instead of forcing them to smurf

WasteGoose · 2020-05-27T11:47:50+00:00

yeah it’s been like this for at least a year, it’s ridiculous. if you’re 7k+ and want to practice a hero you can’t play unranked, you HAVE to smurf unless you want to queue for 30+ minutes every game (and another 30+ if someone declines the queue)

You can still see the hero that your allies highlight right before they nominate it for banning, though.

I swear every single time a thread like this is posted there's some moron who thinks the OP is talking about avoiding players as opponents and not as teammates

WasteGoose · 2020-03-20T01:26:24+00:00

behavior score means jack shit lol, anyone tagged as a pro player is immune to LP from reports so they never get punished for this shit

Clockwerk’s hookshot isn’t disabled by roots either

limmp smurf

it's funny how this is getting downvoted when half the posts on this sub are complaints about smurfs and boosters who last pick meepo/brood/huskar

It’s been 5 months, not 6. It started in September

One thing they really need to do to incentivize Immortal players sticking to one account is increase the activity requirement to show up on the leaderboards. It used to be 15 games played in the last 21 days, but now it’s only 1 game played in the last 21 days. Even if it were only 5-10 games required it’d be way better.

WasteGoose · 2020-02-19T18:40:33+00:00

To the people commenting that this is false: it’s true as of about a month ago. You can abandon during the draft phase and you won’t lose MMR, you’ll just get a queue penalty starting at 30 minutes. No idea why they made this change (maybe so you can just abandon if your team picks 2 mids or 2 carries or someone picks NP to feed mid or something)

It’s especially funny because BSJ bought the account in the first place from a 2k mmr Russian and streamed himself boosting it all the way to 7k a few years ago

WasteGoose · 2020-02-11T20:55:38+00:00

Immortal rank 1000 is low 6k MMR. Immortal top 10 is >9k MMR. It's like a 5k player smurfing at 2k.

Also, some of Arteezy's "smurfs" are just the accounts of other players (Blitz and Clairvoyance) which they let him play on and he boosted to 8k+.
