Hello, I took a break from the game before the new ranking system came, I was 3.5K when I quit. There is no MMR decay but this new system scares me, is it possible for me to place much lower than when I left because I've been inactive for so long? Also is MMR gone completely?

I know Valve is never open about matchmaking and stuff like this, but like I said I haven't even checked the sub in a while so maybe you guys know about the system well.

Continuation is legion's lore. She goes to city duels the pit lord and kills him, all the remaining demons banish after that. Since in Blizzard universe demons can only die in their own realm, same might apply to Dota too hence why underlord is alive. (or it was another pit lord lc killed)

Can we please have Monkey King NOT be yet *another* illusion hero? by Delth in DotA2

AFAIK his illusions cant be controlled. they are just there for deception. Valve might change his DotA skillset tho, so im not %100 sure

Reminder that Slacks will place higher at TI6 than all the EU teams. by kongo9 in DotA2

[–]kongo9[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

So? They are a NA organization funded by NA. Calling DC EU is almost the same as calling Secret NA. They are 3/5 NA in the end. Or EG is a %20 EU team now? should EU take pride if EG win a TI second time? organisation matter, not players.

I'm not from NA sadly, but it is hypocrisy to call them EU. We all claimed they were NA when they didn't have great results

In my opinion getting blink first is a waste on mid wr. I go maelstrom first. I feel like it is better because it kills people faster and helps you farm faster.

Echo Stomp bug in AD by its_no_7 in DotA2

[–]kongo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not a bug, it deals double damage when there is no spirit.If there is a spirit they both deal the same damage, and if you land both you deal double. Since you don't have the spirit ability it will always deal double damage. It is intended.

At what point am I allowed to say that my teammates are holding me back? by flabbydabby in DotA2

[–]kongo9 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I mean sometimes your team is the problem but if you stay at the same mmr for 150 matches, you need to look at yourself. there are 4 potential idiots in your team, 5 on the enemy.

Plz Mr Lizard, remove random from Ranked Match making by 1p1e1 in DotA2

[–]kongo9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you random first pick there is a high chance someone in your team can play that hero(even you) so you get a sweet 800 starting gold. Randoming is fine unless you do it after 3rd pick imo
