Even microsoft made a system and trademarked it that blows ELO/MMR out of the water. The irony is that there's nothing other than halo that uses it because lol microsoft

Chess doesn't have boosted smurf accounts that are sold and then dumped back down past their calibration level.

Going by the calculations done in the video it's clear it's based on the Chess ELO system

when did valve state that?

>>166425439
Does it really matter when over 90% of players are below 4k?

>>166425662
It's just a extended version of ELO that attempts to account for pick-up teams. It doesn't account for games being multi-role or multi-character.

If valve was really smart they would use something that goes past the predictive power of naive bayes like neural networks.

Does anyone have that video of Sumail getting his foot caught in the railing at TI5?

>>166426662
who the fuck is small

>>166426335
yes because of boosted accounts. A boosted 5k account can give away 1000 points of MMR to others. You dont really see 8k boosted accounts because they're expensive as fuck so the skill rating between 6-8k is pretty accurate. However the 5k accounts give free MMR to 4k players which in turn give free mmr to 5k players etc etc causing this dead zone where the skill level is completely unknown. Theres far too much variance in skill level in the 4-5k bracket

ccnc talks and acts exactly like ppd and that is a bad thing

They are already smart, they know to put in the least amount of effort because it barely effects the income the game makes.

>>166426993
Yeah you're probably right. That an ELO gives people a nice stupid number to stroke to.

game sucks

>>166426870
u have hearing issues

>>166427118
Exactly
Hell they could have gotten away with just a constant +25 per game and random team placement. This probably would have been the case if they introduced ranked nowadays instead of way back when the game had real dev support instead of this hands off intern shit. None of this stuff matters, just give people an excuse to grind some virtual numbers like they're already doing.

DotA is finally dying, as a game. I am glad.

DotA deserves death and peace. What it has become is a monstrosity, a betrayal to its original self, which is a metaphorical commentary on the entire sub-genre and its direction since its inception in Starcraft.

The entire ASSFAGGOTS genre is officially played-out, and the actual death of the soul of the original game to popularize the sub-genre symbolizes final closure and everlasting peace.

It's time to let go lads. The successor (the soul) of Defense of the Ancients has fallen into uncaring hands who have for years tried to morph the game into something it's not. That Warcraft 3 mod we all used to shittily play on the family computer is no longer here, no longer thriving. We deserve, and it deserves, to move on. We will ascend to our careers and to our family lives, but always remembering the impression that this amazing game left on us. And DotA will ascend to a place of sanctuary, where it will never be touched by debauched abstractions.

Let's go home, /d2g/. It's time to go home.

i am currently trying to break out of 3k, been spamming the hero along with offlaners and Necro, he's a very reliable first pick when no one else on your team is picking. Good all-purpose support that has the power to flash farm solo if you're behind/solo supporting

Recently had a guy try rubick mid thinking he was dendi, as dumb as it is (everyone always feeds when they go rubick mid) this slardar on my team (who bought two stouts) sperged and tried to hog his mid and we lost

what are you supposed to do when your carry is doing fine and doesnt need you at that second, but you still want to be in the area just in case somebody shows up?

sit in the trees and sap his xp or pull your wave, get gold/xp away from the carry, and stay in fighting condition?

are you actually unironically suggesting that supports shouldnt pull creeps into the jungle?

go help another lane that needs it like the offlaner AND.... carry a TP to go back to safe.

kill their midlaner and even if you can't do this you can just sit on his face and deny farm the rest of the game or force 1-2 of their supports to rotate

srsly have u ever played support at all?

Iron talon and bounty runes are a thing you stupid nigger

How do you nerf deathball?
As it stands it's literally the only way to play Dota right now, but just how do you even nerf it?

the exact opposite way it was buffed, reduce AOE gold for kills

No, i want YOU to get gold to increase our odds of winning, meaning if your core doesn't need immediate help go make yourself useful in other lanes by actually contributing on shutting down the enemy

How are you failing to grasp such a basic concept?

Just fucking nerf memeback gold and you've killed deathball. That's literally all you have to do.
The old ricers are fucking hungry to go back to building an advantage and winning with efficiency. They don't do it because they feed one fucking death and all their work is pissed away.

By the time that's actually relevant, you have either already lost the game or the purpose of the deathball has failed.

It's because Overbotch and TF2 started to butt heads and both ended up losing, creating a void in the multiplayer FPS department which only CS:GO has footing in (despite playing completely different from both).

>>166445036
>It's because Overbotch and TF2 started to butt heads and both ended up losing

What?

Overwatch is clearly dominant and still extremely popular.

TF2 can't compete with those asses.

when are they going to fix this game

>>166445209
maybe when we go down to 600k peaks in a couple months

>>166445142
TF2 took an enormous hit because of OW, and when OW's initial popularity wore off many people abandoned that game too, fearing it was going downhill in a similar fashion (despite still being much more successful than TF2, even now). The result was a massive influx of players to the only other major PC FPS.

Overwatch's Reddit got more subs over the course of the open Beta than TF2's had acquired over 9 years.

>>166446607
the latter

>>166446451
Even if TF2's had only been up for a few years, Overwatch's became more popular at a hyper-rapid rate.

Even right now Overwatch's has 5 times that of TF2's.

Overwatch is literally normie central, it makes them feel skilled at a shooting game even though it's made for babies.

>BSJ's stream
oh my gosh this is so lewd

STOP MASTURBATING EVERDAY OR AT ""LEAST"" TONE DOWN THE HAND SMACKING AND YOU WONT JUST GET BETTER AT DOTA BUT ALSO AT LIFE

>falling for the testosterone jew
All it does is bait you into fucking 3d whores which is the opposite of 'getting better at life'.

Who cares about Dota

>>166450086
good job senpai
what type?

not shittalking anyone but, why are majority of team captains(if not, all of them) support players?

>>166450065
you made morphling with Aghanim's Scepter

>>166449606
This whole site is fucking garbage.

>>166450119
The best captain in the world EternalEnvy is a mid player though.

>>166450119
support players are already focused on the overall gamestate rather than the minutia of outplaying their lane opponent for farm

Shit feels too good fampai, I ain't stopping anytime soon.
Also dota is shit, play a better game.

>>166450131
aghs as an item doesn't really fit well with morph's role, being put onto a hero like dark seer gives the mechanic some room for real use
