u won a match with sven tho. all ur losses were with shitty heroes. sven haters where are u now???????
That's the sad part.
I don't think that's how it works.
No indication of skill bracket in match results is due to not enough information being available in parsing to ascertain the average MMR.

you need to feed less
Chin up
My longest loss streak is 11
If you're struggling so much maybe you should change your play style
Link your dotobuff so we can see
I agree, but all of those games were played as support, so I don't really think it was that game changing. Excluding Mirana and Slark ones.

Was listening to P1P this week and there was an interesting discussion about games becoming habitual. And it's at that point where some people should draw the line. I think the compendium has had a negative effect on me. I'm just playing for these stupid challenges to get coins. Don't get me wrong it's a nice idea, I just got a sweet Bounty Hunter set I've wanted for ages. But it isn't adding to the fun, and it could be taking away from the game to me.
so is your problem with your own behavior or with valves implementation of the compendium?

I will be interested to see what people tell you as far as improving, because I feel like we are probably in a very similar skill bracket. I have a solid understanding of the game's mechanics and systems, but I still have trouble with positioning and decision-making, leading me to feed too much.
Still sucks to have a loss streak like that, though. That last Mirana game must have felt really bad to lose considering how much farm you had.
Call me when you go 15-2 every game and still manage an 8 game losing streak.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that
You seem to be doing ok as farming on carries goes. But Mirana unfortunately cant solo carry 4 idiots.
Maybe try heroes like Silencer or Necro. They only need a little farm to start doing serious damage.
Im sure you could get to the point where you can solo carry your team off the back of a great start. Maybe even watch a replay of a game you think you could have won to see where you went wrong.
I 110% agree
Its got that disgusting layer of shit and brown on it that only the Gamebryo engine can achieve
Im sure it will be fun but hot damn after playing The Witcher 3 does this game look like a stinky brown turd. Then again I hate Fallout as a series so I probably shouldn't comment

Yeah. Since I enjoy playing support it's often really hard to communicate and actually be a initiator when people don't even speak English. Positioning wasn't my big factor, but lately I was playing utterly bad and got caught every time.
I always thought that feeding as support isn't that big of a deal, but it really does, especially if you're playing important ones.
Mirana game was painful, had to play mid which I never do against Weaver, won that easily and hit clutch arrows (I don't want to showoff, but some of them were really good). But once upon a time, there was a PL that had free farm...

I think it is both. Valve are acutely aware of how their decisions affect some players' behaviour.

Hoping it will be a good follow up and as fun as Fallout 3/NV and not a disappointment like Skyrim
Had those games too. Sad times.

If there isn't a proper Fallout game made by Obsidian with the same tech (like last gen) there's no reason to bother. Bethesda games are booty
Also, is there actually a dotabuff skill bracket below normal skill? My first couple of dozen games just don't include bracket information

No
Its only Normal - High - Very High
Anything below 2400? MMR isnt counted as a bracket

The one time I enjoy the community ghetto is when people are allowed to be honest instead of having to tiptoe around their every word in heavily watched threads.
Fallout 4 looks poopy for a current-gen only game that's supposed to come out 2016. Open world or not. The "Bethesda games always look like shit" is a historical observation but shouldn't serve as an excuse, especially when we're talking about a game that's this high profile.
hey woah hey now
I'm 2.2/2.3k and my games are marked as normal bracket (except when I get thrown into the wonderful world of high/very high skill with certain GAFers).

Honestly think Fallout 4 looks fine, then again I never really gave a shit about how games look unless they're pure garbage. Have to see some gameplay before I'm convinced though, these kinds of trailers never do anything for me.

the dog running is pretty bad
We're on a same boat, even tho I have played Fallout games I have never finished one.

Fallout 4 doesn't look as good as The Witcher 3 or The Order or whatever, but it's really frustrating when people throw around words like "hideous."

I only got a quick look on my phone since I'm not home so I'll need to watch it again, that kind of stuff does bother me though.
It'll also probably be full of glitches and bullshit day 1, I'll just give it the Batman treatment and wait for an extremely cheap GOTY version like I did for New Vegas and the other Arkham games.

dave is ok
aztek is ok
Yeah, Fallout 3 and New Vegas weren't exactly lookers either but it does seem pretty rough looking in some areas.

who cares, it'll just glitch out its animation and slide towards you after clipping on some terrain and then you punch it awkwardly in first person and then it'll bounce off a tearing piece of geometry and then shoot into space and then +1 to unarmed combat will pop up on your screen GOTY 2016
fuck bethesda

10/10 lighting and shadows
Do yourself a favor and go play Fallout 2 (i would link you to GOG but they no longer sell it)
After you love it, cuz you will, go play 1.
Skip 3 and play NV instead.
