Who gives a single fuck? there's 700k peak player numbers even on holiday. I need to filter 'player numbers', d2g is shit

I never understood the "le reddit boggeyman" thing. But I start to understand it now. Retards get downvoted and autohidden on reddit so their only alternative is posting on places like 4chan and of course these people will try to influence with the idea that reddit is shit so not everyone else goes there. But turns out in the end everyone with a brain left for reddit and everyone left on 4chan is a retarded shitposter. Really sad.

There's fucking African bush tribes that have cell phones you nutter. They fucking give homeless people in America free cellphones. They take all the old cellphones from 1st world countries and sell them off to other countries until it trickles down so far that Mozambique from Zimbabwe has that sweet razor flip phone from 2004.
Face it can, you are literally more retarded than a African jungle baby if you don't have a cellphone in this day and age.

Nothing Personnel, Kid.

not a dota 2 player, but why did anyone play this without solo q? seems like a big impediment, forcing people to party up.

>>174587978
because Valve are retards who can't figure out a decent algorithm for mm people without long queue times

>>174587978
you could queue alone, but now there's a special queue where everyone is queueing alone

>Starting today, if a player’s Solo MMR is higher than their Party MMR, queuing in a party will result in the matchmaker assigning a higher MMR to that player. Effectively, these players will search for a match as if their MMR were halfway between the Solo and Party MMR values.
What about if your party is higher than your solo mmr? Will I get easier games if I queue with my 4k solo 5k party friend?

My situation: I have a longterm illness which leaves me houseridden for the foreseeable future. I have a degree, I was working, but now I don't and I can't go out anymore because it causes me a lot of physical discomfort/pain and heightens my anxiety.

>>174588117
matchmaking takes a shitload of time because the system filters by behavior score and MMR, not because valve is incompetent.

I used to be a complete piece of shit back in 2012/2013 and my behavior score got irreaversably shitfucked back to the stone age. My ranked queue times up to recently were like 5+ minutes upwards as a 3k MMR shitlord for the past few years.

Recently, Valve completely wiped behavior score on everyone due to a crashing bug causing irreversible damage to people's behavior scores when they abandoned games due to it being the game's fault. I get ranked AP queues that pop in 15-30 seconds @ 3300 ranked MMR, steadily climbing up winning a few every day with Lone Druid.

i've played a lot of jakiro in the last 3 days since he offers pushing power, debuffs, good (counter) initiation and hg defense/offense
if theres a lot of fighting early i don't put many points into liquid fire but instead dual breath and/or ice path if your team has close to no cc
usually get early arcanes too
warlock good for many of the same reasons plus great lane sustain for your teammates
other go to-heroes are venge, dazzle and dazzle
haven't had much luck on other heroes this patch as pushing hg is just a joke a lot of the time

>>174589805
i know what you mean but thats not a warlock specific issue
thing is you don't wanna overextend or let him get a free pickoff, so just play around your team and stay in the back but not so far back so that he can go on you and get away with it without your team noticing and being able to do anything about it
sometimes you will die anyway so you just gotta get your spells off in the best way possible, and if he goes on you just try to make him waste his time (kite around trees, glimmer cape)

That doesn't change 80% of what I said. Why are you so insecure about people calling out your dying game?

Whats better:

Running Dota 2 in exclusive Fullscreen or
Running Dota 2 in borderless window mode?

So my mid dies every 2 minutes and won't listen to anything I say (like not showing on the map on a Nyx game, buying a raindrops+wand+healing against mid Lina as TB, not pushing past the T1 enemy tower alone), another dude on my team justifies this by saying that this game "is just for fun".

Also f.lux will mess with the colors if you run borderless, so that might be something you don't want, but personally I don't think it matters in a game like Dota 2 and I like having my eyes not hurt.

Except juan ivan and chang are the biggest mmr booster providers. They know how to manipulate the matchmaking to get matched against their own bots and get easy mmr.
Even if they aren't the matchmaking manipulation kind they boost the old way (by roflstomping calibration games) they will still want to mmr boost so they'll do anything for it(including googling how to spoof a phone). For some of them it's basically their only income.
I mean don't get me wrong... Chongs, mexican't, ruskies and other shitskins are the dumbest pieces of shit in this world but they aren't THAT retarded. It's ultra easy to spoof a phone, especially in a world of youtube videos tutorial.

How long til people realize that this change did nothing and they're still playing with the same old retards?

Yes there are, including assigning a Project Manager that knows the Chinese language from your company that oversees the whole project from start to finish and checks up on each step of it.
