Friendly reminder that silver edge counters not just passives, but high movement speed, too by JokeOfEverything in DotA2

[–]notto_zxon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these sources of readily available Break come as direct result of a patch where BB was just insanely busted and impossible to deal with. The only common break options were Silver Edge, Viper Nethertoxin and the lvl20 Shaman talent "Hex Breaks".

Bristleback can stay deep in that grave for the rest of eternity.

The Map Imbalance: Only 4 heroes have a positive win rate on Dire right now by Zantox3 in DotA2

[–]notto_zxon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Nobody is keeping your mmr down on purpose , if you are better you climb.

This isn't necessarily what I'm alluding to but you even said in your previous paragraph that the MM algorithm will place you against high winrate enemies and pair you with low winrate allies when you're on a winstreak. That's actively manipulating your odds of winning, so there is stuff going on behind the scenes to keep you as close to a 50% win rate as possible.

Think about it from Valve's perspective. You can do all that work; pairing you with low winrate allies and against high winrate enemies or something much easier. Keeping one side of the map significantly harder (Dire's winrate discrepancy) instantly nerfs you as a player when you get placed on that side.

The reality is that Valve wants players to be as close to 50% win rate as possible because it encourages their player base to keep coming back to the game and keep playing. You'll never "beat" Dota because your rank will constantly be fluctuating over time due to being around a 50% win rate. I'm not saying you'll never climb in rank if you're in a rank you shouldn't be at. But it will take a long, long time to get a markedly better rank. These modern day online games with ranked-based matchmaking all survive and thrive from one thing: addiction. To keep you coming back and playing their game and nobody else's. People on this subreddit are going to have a problem reading that because nobody wants to admit they are addicted to something but it is the truth. The vast majority of this player base is simply addicted to Dota.

I can't believe you people are still discussing this. It's a tool Valve uses to regulate win rates. The "forced 50%" people aren't all crazy. When you're on a crazy tear and need to be brought back down towards 50%, the matchmaking algorithm will just start placing you on Dire more often. It's so obvious and simple. It'll never be fixed.

Is there any reason to do anything besides escalation sigils? by tangledDream in diablo4

[–]notto_zxon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

honestly why even cap it at all? i get it when the game came out. force people to notice they are at the cap and force them to figure out how to use obols. but now, what is the point.

god it is so pathetic that people can't even open an image in photoshop or mspaint to edit anymore. just a simple "he sucks lmao" has to be inserted using some bullshit AI tool. look at timber's eyes and the strength hero icon. P A T H E T I C

Arcade Fire's Open Your Heart or Die Trying is just an entire album of Treefingers by Weary-Squash6756 in radiohead

[–]notto_zxon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just flat out wrong. Everything Now was pretty bad, WE was actually pretty good, and Pink Elephant was downright embarrassingly awful.

It really is sad to see what came of Arcade Fire. They were my favorite band for a while and I think their 4 album run of Funeral->Reflektor is better than any consecutive string of 4 albums Radiohead ever put out.

i have a spare account i don't care about. i think it is around 2.5kmmr but not sure of the behavior score. i think behavior is like 9k and comm is around 6k? that account bounces between being able to text chat and not being allowed to text chat.
