20 minute games boys
Oh wait.
i think that game pretty much showed that when a team like vici/secret go all out early game, establish a huge lead, and then make very few to no mistakes, you ain't coming back. rave just showed that despite having a 20k+ xp/gold lead, if you make mistakes, the enemy can come back and you can get punished... the better team wins
this is what dota is all about, not some forced artificial garbage where a 3:2 trade in your favor gives the enemy team a net gain of 3k gold and 6k xp because they got shitslammed in the early game

i think that's pretty ironic considering a few summit bo3's make cause people to completely forget about the entire redbull tournament which was filled with great games--20 min games, 70 min games, 45 min games, stomps, close games, comebacks all around, and probably the best goddam finals in a loooong time

Everyone who has forgotten about Red Bull and the like. That's who has the short memories. Like Bokr said, if you win early game and make no mistakes then you should snowball and be able to win in 20-30 mins which is what we have been seeing. Rave won the early game but made mistakes and ended up losing for it.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Just got the secret vs LGD series I missed yesterday....
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
Get on it Kirby, the the road to 5k.
I agree with gzz that this is an early game oriented patch (that has marginalized some agi carries)—it's all about winning your lanes, and there's room for changes to bring back the late game (i.e. small buff to the comeback mechanic or reverting the t2/t3 tower armor and creep bounty nerfs). But I don't think we need to get out the pitch forks, reminisce about the good ol' 6.83 days, warn everyone about the 6.84-pocolypseand demand a kneejerk 6.84c over a few rather unspectacular bo3's.
The majority of games leading up the summit have been great, and who knows, the summit isn't over yet—maybe we'll get a decent playoff that resembles the rave/eg game and redbull tourney.

I don't know a single person who's SERIOUSLY suggested that what we need to do is bring back 6.83. Please stawp with this red herring.
You'd be surprised, there were definitely a few that wanted 6.83 but with small changes (i.e. sniper/troll nerfs). And there's truly nothing wrong with that, everyone's got different tastes and expectations when it comes to dota
.I would be okay with 6.83 without hoho haha, troll, and extreme rubber band, but I guess that wouldn't really be 6.83, now would it?
6.83 with troll nerfs and hg nerfs
Time to get 6k so i can ignore list 5k trashes too.

BTS atmosphere reminds me of Giant Bomb after hours at E3 2012. I miss those days.
is that the one where they were in some sleazy creep hotel?

im looking at the results of the summit and man these matches are short! Lots of diversity in the hero line ups though. Still strange to see every series go 2-0
"We're getting ready here, getting hyped for iG vs. Not Today!"
How did Not Today get to this event anyhow?
blame NA dota

tinker lost to void boys and not today beat them and complexity

Thats what I noticed. Games in europe west with high mmr euros are easier than other regions. Can't deny the inflation tbh

It was a house but yeah, seemed like the stairs were falling apart. Now they got all that CBS cash they prefer a studio I guess.
It was the same thing in hon and wow too, always da euro inflation. Lucily, I've come up with an easy formula for converting euro mmr to na mmr, The Anbhogo Theorem: (EURO MMR - 250)*0.85 = NA MMR.
**note this theorem only applies to dota mmr, my wow and hon equations are different
**this formula has been developed after years of observing our hongaf euros and ksan
guna win a nobel prize pretty soon
just build him normally, bkb and then you win pretty much
Its inflated at that 1% where the MMR does not trickle down just like American economy. Trenches will forever remain in the trench no matter what region your in.
not in Canuckistan

This is exactly how you get raxed before 20 minutes
Sometimes you just concede a tower instead of tping in one by one.
Jesus why would you contest rosh just let them take it

Dear Diary,
Today DOTA2 matchmaking was not kind.
Road to <50% is real.

I'm saying the trench is very trench-y in Canuckistan.

The longer BTS goes on, the more I'm expecting another big balance change before TI5.

This patch isn't idiot proof like the last one, take retarded fights and you lose fast.
fix'd
I had a Gyro last night max missile and crush a QoP mid.
but its not an inflated trench
Well, sanjay was saying that only the top 1% of players had inflated mmr though I don't really know how you'd be able to measure that.
I thought you were saying that the Canadian trench was somehow different from other regions. My b.
If your not in the 1% then your in the trench.
Made it more clear. Seems like you never got it the first time round.
