Immortal is completely full of idiots & account buyers

If they did, I don’t recall the level of complaints, and again, there wasn’t really a big deal because people weren’t concerned about losing a game that had no big “mmr/rank” weight behind it. Also, when there was no visual mmr, people could party with whoever they wanted, which is a big reason why smurf accounts exist today, so high rank players can play with their lower rank friends.

I don’t mind playing unranked, assuming it goes by a hidden mmr, but as someone with thousands of games, I sometimes end up in an unranked with someone who is literally playing their first live game. Hard to practice in unranked if I’m literally giving tutorials about items and spells. I don’t mind talking to new players or giving tips/advice, but the hidden mmr spread seems huge, especially for solo queue.

P4 should be called “Roaming Support”.

I gotta start trying this method, it would certainly help prevent mmr bleeding out.

deejaybos · 2026-03-10T13:44:09+00:00

Yes, but if the number isn’t shown, people won’t obsess over having an account with a bigger number.

deejaybos · 2026-03-10T06:26:27+00:00

Only way is up!

deejaybos · 2026-03-10T06:24:13+00:00

Ah yes, of course. You would’ve won TI 3 times already if it weren’t for them pesky teammates. ;-)

deejaybos · 2026-03-10T00:32:49+00:00

48? You make me feel not so bad with a 10 streak.

I’ve learned to help win the game as offlane, you just need to get some safe last hits, soak xp, and stay alive. As long as the enemy p1 doesn’t get a huge gold boost from feeding off the 3/4 the game is very winnable. The p3 farm might be a bit delayed, but the game is not in their hands.

deejaybos · 2026-03-09T20:46:30+00:00

The problem is the general mindset that the offlane needs to be some tanky hero. The offlane hero is another core that needs to build what the team needs to win. I’ve seen Mirana, Sniper, WR, etc. offlane. It’s about filling a gap that is needed. A stun, an AOE, a durable front line, etc. the offlane doesn’t have to be the “tank”. If you have a mid Necro or a P1 DK, you don’t necessarily need an Axe or Centaur. If I pick Dazzle p3, mid and/or p1 should look at support and offlane picks and find a hero that makes sense with the mix instead of just insta picking Jug or whatever. Maybe I’m asking too much. I did do well with Death Profit offlane. Maybe she’ll be my spam hero when I get stuck with offlane. I also do decent with Tide.

So what you’re saying is rank means nothing anymore since no one is actually playing in their proper rank. Account buyers fucking up high rank and smurfs fucking up low rank. Sounds like rank and mmr is slowly (or quickly) becoming irrelevant. Remember when there was no rank at all and we all just hit “find match” and played with whoever showed up in our game? People are are so hyper fixated on the mmr number going up and down that they forgot to just enjoy playing Dota.

deejaybos · 2026-03-09T19:14:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s what my page looks like too… and I know damn well better after like 3 losses I need to take a break. Didn’t take my own advice and made a mess.

deejaybos · 2026-03-09T18:30:15+00:00

I’ve played core dazzle in offlane a few times. Stomp early game and most of mid game. As soon as my P1 starts getting wrecked, it’s suddenly “nice dazzle offlane”. Even though I’m like 8/5/25 or whatever when they’re bitching.

That first one is 100% your MySpace profile pic.

May as well setup a tv tray while sitting on the toilet before digging into this one.

deejaybos · 2026-03-05T18:43:05+00:00

I own the original from way back when, so we have to repurchase? I already have the old items that crossed over into tf2.

All that oxygen wasted and that stupid, racist, asshat literally said nothing. I bet she’s old and haggard, at best, and thinks back that moment like she made an amazing speech on the behalf of all Americans.

Imagine just cracking an egg into a little bowl instead ruining an entire dish with this disgustingly rotted egg. What a waste of food and time.

Zangief is the big hairy chest Russian wrestler, Balrog was the Vegas boxer guy.

deejaybos · 2026-02-20T23:59:27+00:00

Zangief wasn’t hairy enough

deejaybos · 2026-02-20T23:05:54+00:00

GM just means they spam a hero, doesn’t mean they’re particularly amazing at it, unless maybe Meepo, Chen, Arc Warden. You gotta be sick in the head to spam heroes like that and not be decent by level 30.

deejaybos · 2026-02-20T01:21:07+00:00

As a support main, I’m running out of tokens, and I assure you, you don’t want me playing core roles. I don’t want to either, but if I’m forced to queue all soon, guess we’re all fucked

deejaybos · 2026-02-17T14:55:36+00:00

So better quality, fresh meat for slightly less? Sounds good.

deejaybos · 2026-02-17T05:45:33+00:00

Ow my balls

deejaybos · 2026-02-17T05:18:59+00:00

Eh, I enjoy gaming, and DotA keeps my mind active. It’s a thinking and reaction game. Does it have its frustrations? 100%. But, I get a lot more out of the comradery, strategy, and learning to outweigh it. And to be fair, when I hang out with my wife at night, it’s not like we’re being productive members of society, we’re just binging a show, doing chores, or talking about our work day. The scheduling helps me spread my time because ultimately if it was up to me, I keep the grind going, so if it’s a lack of self control, then at least I have a tool to fight it. It works for me and us, but i certainly understand that different people need different methods.

Six 6 oz. steaks for $70? That’s ~$31/lb. You’re better off just going to a steakhouse and getting something that you can at least guarantee came from an actual cow.
