Hmm. All the complaints I hear about MMs taking too long are usually from single players; who knows.
Was just talking to someone about this yesterday; I'd love to see what DOTA2's MM system actually uses to determine matches at this stage of the game.
What does this script/scripts like these do?
There's an internal rating. Used to be able to check it then they removed the commands from working.
Are you in Low Priority pool?
I am just wondering whether that internal rating is really taken into account when we are matchmaking, as it happens quite frequently to be in a team where two or three people do not know how to play the game, making the match really easy for the opponents.
Same thing for parties, I used playing against parties of 5, which makes the match more difficult, even though each of them individually may be poor.
I assume the pool of players is too small to have a precise matchmaking, they just fill the teams with available players, whatever their ratings...

Dota 2 is already on the verge of being my 2nd most played game. Bloody hell Valve. I haven't even finished Skyrim yet. Or Arkham City. Or Assassin's Creed 2. Or...
When I play I always get matched with people of equivalent or better skill level, same thing when I queue with groups, it takes the highest rated player on your team and matches you by their rating.
Which skill level did you pick when you first loaded up the game?
I've only left one game out of like the 10 I've played :|
I think "experienced" (I do not remember what the term was exactly). I have played DotA before.
Maybe all those "beginners" are people who are experienced in the MOBA genre, but haven't played DotA 1, i.e. people that do not know the heroes, items...
If you happen to be in the low priority pool, it is written explicitly.
Not sure, check your regions, maybe you have US West checked solely or something.
I think at certain hours when the pool is a lot smaller it may just throw together whatever it can find, but rarely have I experienced a match where I completely outclassed an opponent because I was better then them at a skill level, usually it's just bad choices, or bad lanes that lead to stomps.

This might be interesting to some folks here, mouz-Trixi is streaming.

It seems he is doing scrims with his team, which to me is more interesting than watching Dendi screw around in pub games (though that can be fun too.. saw him go carry Lion with MKB a few days ago)

Why are we watching him browse Facebook now?

Yeah.. he might be queuing? He's playing some FB game now. Dirty casual!
True, those MM queues take forever sometimes. I guess that's the case.

Will there be any update today?
He doesn't really have an equivalent in any game.
Yep! There is almost always a patch every Thursday. It's been consistent for at least the last two months.
Normally I would say "Many Western development studios have 1-2 weeks off in the holidays.", but Valve kind of has to be there to run the Winter sale anyway.
Biggest game of my LAYF. Shoulders are hurting so bad from all that CARRY GOODNESS.
Callouts for 2v2 sidelane acton, I'll school any of you scrubs as long as I get dat Archie-CM partnership going.
(Serious Business; boy am I glad you guys stomped the rest of the game, otherwise things might have been a tad more salty - SF is literally the ONLY hero I'm not confident enough to even try to play)

i'm in the chat anyone want to game with a scrub?
They were pretty bad, the Riki and Void got crunched bot.
Also they're updating the backend servers so searching for played games will work again, but it won't find partial matches now.

Completely different teams, though, to be fair.
welcome to mobas, just be glad they werent br or pinoy
Tbh I think I did respectable enough. Didn't drag the team down, didnt feed. Got decent gpm. Hit 1 good ulti, and hit my razes (bar the 2 I missed infront of archie when i was talking about hitting all my razes.)
Also for first time SF - played SoulStealer on Hon <5 times probably. Possibly the hardest hero in the game?
Could of gone about 100x worse.
Right, but some of them like straight up shut down the building.
Here it is actually open and running, so at least some kind of possibility exists.

I'm not expecting an update 'cause a guy I know told me there wouldn't be one. I'd rather there be one, though. ):
