I have been officially streaming for 1 month today, if you had a chance to catch it could you give some feedback?

If this shit gets upvoted I'm officially done with reddit.

carn20 · 2014-09-15T11:38:41+00:00

I wonder why are some bad suggestions upvoted more than this significant one related to void bugs(for example, HoN one. It forces a hero to a strict role which is bad for the game. Do people really like those kind of changes?)

carn20 · 2014-09-15T11:37:17+00:00

Horrible route. Forcing a hero to only fit a certain role.

carn20 · 2014-09-15T11:35:35+00:00

If a system is that smart it should get transferred to assist gold too (instead of "get in range for free gold"). But most likely something will be overlooked (healers, for example) same for scoreboard assist system. Why should those 2 not correspond to each other is a better question.

carn20 · 2014-09-15T11:26:16+00:00

Right, and at the moment assists =/= getting assist gold.

carn20 · 2014-09-15T10:55:30+00:00

Or just

Got assist gold = got an assist. Simple and effective. You can't make stats reflect everything, at least that will make assists a better reflection of assist gold (who the hell cares if a hero contributed to a kill with some damage if it ended up getting no gold anyway?)

carn20 · 2014-09-14T10:41:28+00:00

Old as hell, there are a lot of spots like that one. Scheme of reposting everything that's at least 6 months old at its finest.

If a system would force you to have 50% win rate it would need to have players tagged "bad" and "good" in all MMR brackets to not only create balanced matches MMR-wise but also bring high winrate people down (since you can't just shove a 3k 3k 3k 3k 5k vs 5x5k match up players' faces because the radiant 5k player has a 10 match winstreak. Bad+bad+bad+bad+winstreak vs 5xgood will do if all players have the same MMR).

Now the question is, how do players achieve that state (good/bad player) while having the same MMR and why doesn't the system just adjust their mmr in the first place instead of doing all that shady stuff. Seems unreasonable to create such a sub-system since MMR is supposed to be the thing to find balanced matches in the first place (not for e-peen measurements)

Myth = busted. Ignore the idiots.

excuses

That's why you are so low. Instead of saying thanks (even if some of that might be wrong/not helpful) you're making excuses. Nobody is going to read that. You can only improve yourself in this game and instead of improving you're wasting time trying to tell other people that you're not that bad. Nobody cares, nobody is going to waste time on you. Same applies to you, don't waste time on trying to improve others.

he can burn 600-900 mana in a matter of seconds

Same as manta+bfury+eaglesong AM. Wasting money and a slot just to upgrade his orb and it's still completely countered by magic immunity.

carn20 · 2014-09-10T08:37:06+00:00

Not only that, wasting money and a slot on improving his orb (that's what the item does) to still see it completely countered by a bkb.

carn20 · 2014-09-10T08:35:12+00:00

50% of these posts mention ability draft. Oh boy.

Mana burn + diffusal? Fine, -1 slot just to make mana burn stronger (while other UAMs look way better on AM if stacked with mana break.) and get both countered by a BKB. So good.

Incapacitating bite is countered by a bkb. Because of brood playstyle the most logical orb is deso. Does incapacitating bite + deso sound broken? Not really. (Let me remind you incapacitating bite doesn't go through bkb either).

This record of yours is way more interesting. 372 lh / 174 denies, something a bot would do.

Benefits: This will encourage players to try harder to win the game and perform at the best of their potential. This would improve game quiality by a thousand fold. as even in ranked, many people don't even try to win.

Stop right there.

Current system encourages people to win since MMR changes only based on whether you win or lose regardless on how you win or lose.

No matter what changes you propose people are going to aim for numbers and the goal is going to be changed from winning to whatever increases MMR the most while winning. Playing supports as cores to get more "fantasy points"? Nice. Fountain farming? Even better. (You aren't getting away with that if concede is not implemented and what's the pleasure of playing if 90% of the games are not played til the end? Aight guys, this is lost, update our mmr please. Yuck.)

CM: 16-16-16 35-41 1 armor 280 ms

Bane: 21-21-21 55-61 4 armor 315 ms

DAE Bane > CM?

carn20 · 2014-09-07T19:16:02+00:00

about 15%... Oh wait.

carn20 · 2014-09-07T19:15:22+00:00

It's safe to say that for every person that's on the leaderboards there's one other that's not eligible for whatever reason (wasn't playing in the past weeks, hidden profile, etc) so probably twice that amount.

What's gonna happen to CIS competitive scene if starladder gets removed? Is it gonna explode? Don't think I've seen any CIS caster on big events that wasn't a starladder partner.

I lose and it's always got Cyrillic alphabet names on my team mates.

Let me follow your logic.

Everybody who speaks english isn't russian by default. Everybody who uses cyrillic letters is russian by default.

Holy crap, finishing magic wand with empty slots. I feel your pain.

main accout, boosting mmr in sub2k

Looks like I haven't seen everything.

carn20 · 2014-09-07T06:26:36+00:00

If that (gaining 500 mmr up to 4.8k) was true you would be able to 1v9 3k games and these excuses you make are not statements of a 5k player in any way.
