What Yasae describes is deviation towards the mean, and those "forced losses" and "easy wins" happen because as you win more matches are naturally going to get harder and as you lose they're going to get easier. It's like they have a system in place to rank people. Really makes you think.

Friends, I have a question.
I am of reasonably good MMR standing compared to average (at least 4K) and will play all positions quite happily (I prefer core/offlane but I can play support if needed). I was playing such a support (Lion) vs a Bloodseeker who built Mask of Madness for some reason and ran straight at me with it and Bloodrage on.
What exactly was he expecting to happen before I one hit him with Finger?

He thought he'd be moving so fast that he'd be impossible to click.

Can't you put it on the market? Or do you want non Steambucks?
There are plenty of ways to get scammed if you click on suspicious links and such.
A lot of players expect you to freak out and then they over commit when you don't. I've seen so many people run when staying would mean they have a chance of surviving but running means certain death due to them not doing anything about the situation.

What is a good mouse for dota that also functions as a generally good gaming mouse?

Ya'll people needed to tell me there's an electric guitar playing cow in HotS. I be starting mosh pits all day up in this spot. Why would anybody play Dota 2 over HotS when it has no electric guitars in it???
Absolute savagery. I mean, I get it, but that's still savage as hell.

I don't think anyone expected him to be on there, the issue is really it's kind of fucked to see something say "MEET THE CHAMPIONS" and then only have four people just because the fifth guy got kicked almost immediately after the big win.

This was a weird game. My team did great securing the mid lane against Lina for me, but then bitched at me for not 5-manning all the time at 10 minutes and farming instead, and as it showed it wasn't safe for me to be in a lot of early fights simply because I would die and it set my farm way back. I straight up didn't have time to farm, which was why my CS was so poor this game. I'm glad we didn't lose this one, but it's really frustrating when the team doesn't understand that you are playing a hero that needs farm.
