Well I mean if it works for Razor...

is basically how I thought it would work...

We barely lost that game too. Spirit Breaker and I were breaking the throne down while they hammered on ours, and we wouldn't have even gotten the mid towers if it hadn't been for my Refresher pickup

Shit about to either get really real or really sad.

Here at TPL, we want to state that everything you heard or read the last days about us are lies and fake allegation. We will publish in a few days a complete article with all the documents, contracts, payment tracks, emails, chat proofing that we always paid everyone, artists, teams and workers. We will also put in lights how Valve acted to termintate TPL, breaking dozen of contract rules. We will tell you everything and how TPL started to be seen as a threat for many important organisation in Dota. Please stay tuned.

 

[Uriah]

I bet really sad

 

[Sibylus]

"Please stay tuned", they said, whilst they ran with everything they valued. Will be surprised if wrong.

Thank god I had a friend with me that could play carry and thank god Ursa decided to buy a Divine Rapier but skip the BKB.

 

[Shinypogs]

Stopped playing the game for 2 weeks to move, completely forgot how to play. That said, after some refresher matches I think I'm almost ready to play vs other people now.

Guys i think this website is wrong. Even though everytime i queue alone i'm in VH i queue with a friend most of the times (i would say 90% of my games are with him) and with him i'm only in high. Until recently together we were placed in normal too.

God damn it I knew something wasn't right. Now who knows when that DK set will be released.

I met a bunch of Halo pros too at Halo 4 GC haha. BTW I was totally shit housed in that photo.lol

Did you meet anybody from Riot?

Pubstats should put people with fewer games higher in the queue

 

[Hung_real]

neat site, just donated 5$

[ViviOggi]

I've been through the queue but it still says "Statistics pending". Does it always take this long?

 

[Anilusion]

Same, statistics pending.

 

[geetec]

http://pubstats.me/42885601/

Only because it told you that you're 91% very high.

...yeah, i'm jelly.

Yea same, I was playing for a year and a half and then some friends joined me in playing, so every time I play with them I'm in normal bracket. Every time I play with my other friends I'm in high, but I play with my newer friends more often

For some reason I lose a lot more in normal bracket and win a lot in high bracket too..

 

[LiQuid!]

Matchmaking finally beat me down to a .500 win/loss record. Thanks Dota, you've humbled me and there was nothing I could do but take it like a man.

 

[throwawayname]

If iceiceice is the last player for DK they will be the best team since forever.

 

[LiQuid!]

Can someone send me to some instructions on how to add things like hero sprites to the mini map and the little guide lines that appear when you use skill shot abilities?

 

[Ikuu]

That is in the options Game > Interface. Pick show icons instead of names, and always show names/icons.

[SamVimes]

SMH at all these High/Very High GAFers queueing 'All Pick' 75%+ of their matches.

Better players, faster queue times and generally better matches. What's not to like?

Shit about to either get really real or really sad.

uhh... isn't some of that stuff illegal to make public without the other person giving the okay?

Here's a good article on the situation: http://www.gosugamers.net/dota2/features/3439-ange-in-hot-soup-again-over-workshop-items-controversy

Like many other workshop artists, Vidotto was approached by Ange earlier this year to create a courier to sell alongside the fastly selling The Premier League DotaTV ticket. At that time, Vidotto, a courier designing specialist, was already working on a courier and offered Ange the self-evolving Wyrmeleon in return for an undisclosed share of the ticket sales. It took Vidotto two more weeks to complete the courier.
The ticket for The Premier League Season IV went up on Dota 2 Store on the 7th of February 2013 but Vidotto immediately noticed that his Steam account was not linked to the ticket. Normally, everybody who has worked on a particular workshop item will have their name posted on the Dota 2 store and have money transferred directly into their bank account with every sale made. "He never added me to the ticket. He gave a lot of excuses, like 'it was illegal to do that,'" said Vidotto.

Illegal to add someone to a workshop submission lol. What law is broken by adding someone to a workshop contribution...


Anyway, to me the story seems to be that he refuses to add the contributors to the ticket submissions, Valve demands he do so, he refuses and they pull his tickets. This probably started with a dispute on the Dragon Knight set, or maybe Valve themselves noticed the creator wasn't mentioned.

Also from Facebook

You guys will get to know that the problem isnt the payment, this is only a public reason. The real reason is that Valve just want to terminate us. We will publish the mails from Valve and you will all understand that smthing isnt going right.

They're nuts. Absolutely insane. Valve is in on a conspiracy to get rid of them? What? How would that help Valve in any way?

The 'bracket' is just a way of sorting games by average skill after a match. You'll probably be facing high skill players playing with low skill friends too.

He seems pretty underrated. -20 armour is huge when his bash and stun do physical damage and you've got another right clicker on your team. Sprint is the one thing I think needs a rework, maybe a larger speed increase and a shorter duration or something.

He just needs some mana cost reductions I think. 115 for level 4 stun, while spamming out your ult (even if it's only 20) and having a sprint for 50 with his horrible, horrible mana pool..it's pretty annoying.

Maybe have his stun not go up but stay at 80 mana at all levels.

icex3 and Mushi seems unnecesary. Maybe chuan?

Sadly Ice3 thinks he's better at offlane than midlane, so it wouldn't be redundant.

 

[rhophiehalul78]

so if you exclusively play support, can you go to very high ? just noticed that last hits are counted.

 

[Smushroomed]

Any good players on twitch that commentate while they play live?

 

[Anteo]

Actually I think that's the easier way to get to high. I mostly play 5th slot support in pub games.
