It might just be off your ranked games.

I think it might be the opposite, actually. My ranked games have gone way better tahn my other games lately, but the stats seem off. That said, it has me at quite a few triple kills and that sounds right, so maybe so.

EG got rekt in that fight
Every custom game seems to be hosted by a troll that wont start the game when it hits 10/10
Yeah its annoying. I'm sure Valve will do a system where the game will automatically start when the lobby is full. SC2 has that mechanic and it works well 99% of the time

That ESL studio is really nice. Just shades the other tournaments.

was the the tournament with blacks godlike invoker?
Merlini, Maelk, Soe
ahhhh
I only have stats for my past 3 games and I barely play unranked so I think it does seem more likely.
After trying for over two hours I finally got into a game of Overthrow and we got stomped by a Storm Spirit with host advantage. We were multiple heroes on top of the item drop off every time and he always zoomed in to grab the item before anyone.
They need to add dedicated servers for custom games asap.

it's pretty difficult in yurop too because esl streams are 1985 realplayer 320x240-esque quality
Actually I'm fairly certain it wasn't like that before. I'll just check it in the non-reborn version to see

Hero ain't good at the moment at all unless you are up against a melee heavy line up.

I just tuned into that ESL match, it looked like the game was running at 2x speed.
So, yeah. Custom games are unplayable at the moment. As others have said, 99% of all lobby hosts are AFK and won't start the game. Not sure why the hell that is, but I suppose a Kick function will have to be implemented soon.
I also agree that we need dedicated servers for custom games, or at least some method of switching hosts dynamically when the original host leaves the game. How did this work in Brood War and Warcraft 3?
In BW it was never an issue if the host left once the game had started.

Well, it is Valve's fault for not implementing a Kick feature, but this is the first few days of Beta so they get a pass. I'm confident that these kinks will be worked out in time for the full Reborn release.

Can't spectate games ATM the thing is stuck at "waiting for game data", but the list shows that there are people spectating games, does it also show games being played from the source 1 client?
My experience has been that 1 player always leaves the game on loading screen, only managed to play 1 game thus far.

Then you're doing better than me. I've played zero games after about an hour of trying.

the lobby host not starting the game when it's full is just emulating the true wc3 custom games experience
it's a feature

Same boat as you. I'm downloading it for the 3rd time. It sucks so much because I waited for 8 hours to be downloaded. Sucks to have slow internet.
I never played much WC3, but that shit never happened in Brood War.

Hero statistics are broken, it displays the same number through any selection you make no matter the hero and I'd assume the overall statistics on the pentagon graph not being accurate as well.
