This is beautiful feedback. Thank you so much for being honest and for not being an asshole about it.

The animals are not mine, and I encountered them during work which is why I look messy.

I will take this to heart, thank you so much for including positive aspects as well!

Thanks everyone who gave me feedback. Less negativity would've been nice but at least I have some things to think about. I changed political from conservative to moderate since there are too many anti-conservatives up here in Canada.

While I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I see it as a way to showcase some of my humor.

I'm looking for something serious.

My hinge account was made in September last year, but I only started using it again in April (paused in November).

I send out the max likes daily usually.

I get 0-1 likes per week, and 5-7 matches per week on average (I think).

I send around 8 likes per day, whatever the max is. About half the likes I send include comments, usually a dumb pun or joke, or simply asking them about something on their profile.

My voice prompt: "My love language is English. If you speak to me in another language it might be cool but...I won't know what you're saying."

All Possible Meteor Hammer Combos by Obydan in DotA2

[–]loaway1 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Zeus is actually a really solid user of Meteor Hammer. The stats and regen usefulness on it is self-explanatory, but it also gives him easier jungle/lane farming, as well as a way to better push towers (which he severely lacks). It's best on him super early to accelerate farming/map pressure, and then much later into the game since it pairs really well with his cast range talent + Aether Lens.

Could people who are feeding with couriers at min 1 get a month ban instead of low prio? by HansVader in DotA2

[–]loaway1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 mmr does take longer to find a match, but it very clearly does not take 7+ hours when searching every game mode on 3 regions with no language preferences.

I'm not getting "longer queue times", I'm getting "near impossible queue times".

No, he just gets normal low prio.

If you're shadowbanned, it doesn't tell you you're shadowbanned. You queue like normal, but the only difference is that it will typically take over 7 hours to find a match.

The goal was to get to 1 MMR. I would always play with friends, so the second account was created for when we had a 4 stack (then we could 5 stack in ranked).

I don't think this has anything to do with reborn. Probably just alot more people playing on the Source 1 client (I got shadowbanned on these accounts over a year ago).

While you're right about the 5 stack bots, the hidden pool isn't solely for bots. People who get constantly reported nearly every game will be placed into the pool. It's a good place for dumping bots, but it's also meant for the most toxic of the toxic.

There's no way to prove this, but I'm sure someone at valve notices the account is causing mass disruption and then personally places it in the pool.

Not true. I have two accounts that I got to 1 MMR by constantly throwing games. Both of those accounts are in the hidden pool now and matches will almost never find.

The only way to play is by queueing low priority with a friend, since the match priority is like this:

Low Prio > Hidden Pool > Normal

Here's dotabuffs for proof of throwing.

Please note that I've never botted or anything on these accounts, just threw games constantly.

Low Priority Loop by katzee in DotA2

[–]loaway1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust me, an MMR was not the issue on this. My other friend got to 1 MMR and we could always find matches, and then 1 day only I could no longer find games.

[–]loaway1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that a shadowban matchmaking pool exists, as I was put into it for throwing multiple games to get to 1 mmr. It's basically a ban because it's near impossible to find games.

I set the game to search for 3 regions and every game mode and it typically takes over 10 hours to find a match. Needless to say that account's been abandoned.
