It doesn't. The skills are chosen purely from a balance perspective as moves that would benefit from having their team targets limited. Some of the moves that cant be disabled are a little questionable but meat hook and toss are two of the more obvious ones as limiting those move's targets creates an advantage.

Are you going to do research on player matches and tendencies or just call it as you see it

hylian give me a shoutout. say i have a big dick maybe? i'll commend you
If that's what I read about already, it's likely because of how few games these accounts have played. I imagine that the system works proportionally to some extent.
Either way, I think it's a little bit crazy to think Valve is done with the mute system. It's probably still being worked on.
Honestly, I have no idea where to start on doing any research for /d2g/. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that's the /vg/ team. There's hardly any information about them other than what's in the Giant Bomb thread.

I just caught game 1 of GAF vs TE. That was the most entertaining stomp I've ever seen.

d2g captain said he was going to punish us for our greedy play. Another team's captain said we relied on cheesy strategy and will be beaten by "solid teamwork". All the background you need.
They're putting the finishing touches on Abaddon.

so cheesy gotta check the cholesterol
patch is cancelled, they changed their mind. Dota 2 to release "when it's ready"
If you check that PC gamer page it will tell you what that date is, just add up the floor numbers and divide by 3.
So they're a team comprised of Idra?
He really can't punish you unless he plays mid...
Player has 1 or 2 games, gets reported, gets muted. Makes sense to me.
As I said, I have over 800 games played and I don't hold back against idiots who flame the team or do really stupid shit like picking a carry after we already have 3. Never got muted.
Yes, the system is automated and it isn't perfect, but it works well enough for now. Got a lot less flamers in the game.

Valve has said that it's very much a work in progress. I mean the results have been fairly positive thus far.

From what I've seen, unlike the next set of consoles, OR seems like it's truly next gen technology.

I can't even imagine how this would work with OR or why you'd even want to.

Well the Dota 2 OR version was just a joke on my part. Mainly it's for modders most likely dealing with HL2, Portal, or TF2 mods. Maybe Alien Swarm if somebody's feeling adventurous.

But hey, new Sniper model!
Also guilds which should be pretty convenient.
Theyre holding off till after TI3 to patch more heroes in. Just like they did last year.
Would have thought that was obvious.
