I'm glad Mirana is being picked a lot more.
I can't keep track of these fucking nerds.

I'm starting to think mmr decays if you don't play for a long period of time. After a 2 week break I'm getting the worst players 
.
Dat feel when you get first blood as chen on mid with smoke, take tier 1/2 by 20 mins, and still lose because vanguard kunkka.
edit: Ok, our solo farming jugg gets vlads + s&y (doesn't even get an orb...), their farming luna gets bkb, butterfly, helm. MM is officially fucked.

I stopped playing DOTA 2 altogether between Jan of this year until like late May so that sounds about right. I was playing maybe a handful of matches every other week from September of last year-> Jan ...So yeah, it probably does decay..

I take it by lost you mean LOST, right?
I was seeing if there was any interest in me rewriting the HoN IHL webapp for Dota 2. It would have to be changed massively (because Dota 2's Web API doesn't allow you to see private games). There is a workaround. Someone would have to download the replay and then run a parser program. That program extracts the game states and then you would need to C&P it back into the web app. It's a lot more work.
It definitely beats manually entering data into a spreadsheet, that's for sure. What kind of data can you pull with your parser? Would you be able to pull things like hero picks and creep scores or would it be exclusive to player names and win/loss data?
I'm not a code monkey myself so I'm interested in it, but if it's significant work for little gain then I wouldn't want to bother you with it.

People that don't pause should be thrown into low priority.
Got a glitch? Someone has to go AFK? LOL! Our whole team will keep unpausing. Waiting 2 minutes is to much for most people by the looks of it.
There is a pretty good replay parser here, though its a bit out date. You could likely email Bruno to see if you could just get a newer version:

The data it outputs (It does it in both plan text and a bunch of json files that could be parsed by an app)
http://pastebin.com/QJ6ADq26
I guess all we would really need is the players and the Pick/Ban files, which are outputted by the program. Unfortenttly, I don't think the parser outputs who actually won the game, so you would have to manually put that part in.
The great thing is there's already a parser.

It outputs json files with all the game's stats.

Okay, I am now convinced we won't see a new hero until after TI3.
Not sure what to think of this. Need to see how this is handled with different kinds of spells, but it sounds pretty stupid.

dammit, why is that parser not on github, sucks to have to start coding from 0
As far as a parser, it is not that hard. If the replay file it's just a bunch of step by step set of commands, then it is not. But if it's encoded, then that would be a bit hard to pull off. I tried to do my own thing as milk knows, but I grew bored fast. Maybe if a group of people decides to work together I would be able to help.
BTW i thought we could access the private matches if we had the id?

That feeling when you have 10 new friend requests and realize, "oh, must be a Tournament drop".

Bristleback gets a back and a head piece
We even got multiple pings now:
- You can now hold control when pinging to send a "caution" ping instead.
The new hero Icons, I like them a lot:
The hero discriptions are now going to have Offlaner and Mid roles.
Minor thing, but the store front page is now going to be "Featured" items instead of "Top Sellers", likely so people don't see 6 types of keys on the front page.

Looks like they tried to make it cuter. It's still a pretty unique design, though.
