Slark was pretty popular before he got taken out of CM anyway. Nothing new.
In the pro scene he was picked for a few weeks when he was originally added then noone used him for ages. He was situational at best when he was taken out of CM which is a shame as I think he's underrated. Also I don't agree with the item choice of ROTK here.

The queue times for Ranked seem awful, do they get better after the placement matches?
Opposite in my experience.
No one's going to play him because he will be first banned each time.
He'd play 1vs 9 mode and win.

Ranked solo Q takes forever what is this
Yeah 7 mins average queue is the worst shit.

There is no solo queue though? It just places you on a team with parties and gives you a separate ranking. I really hate the set up of how they have ranked mm. I'll play some more but I don't know why you are forced to only two game modes and you can't be placed with other solo players. I got into matches extremely quick though.
Are matches last longer for everyone? Last night it seemed all matches lasted close to an hour or more.

150 games, I think.
As far as my experience goes, all my ranked MMs except for one (where we did lvl 1 rosh and proceeded to completely thrash them) have been pretty long games.
Teams are more coordinated but more importantly they don't switch off and give up as easily. The team that loses the early game will always tighten up and play defensively until they finally buckle or even make a comeback.

Whenever someone chooses Anti-Mage, whether in Captain's or All Pick, I lose. People just don't know how to play him.

How is it possible that any of you are surprised by servers shitting themselves after a big update.

One time a TF2 update brought the entire of Steam down for a few hours during a Christmas sale.
It was at that point Valve capped how big their patches would be for TF2 (iirc that one was 1.5gb, they capped all future TF2 updates at .5gb after that incident)
I just expect it from Valve games. I guess that's really bad of an expectation but... eh...

Legion Commander is fucking insane
Played Single Draft and we had a bad draft with no supports, lost towers fast and Riki died 8 times to Bristleback by the 10-12 minute mark
LC was jungling and then joined team fights, by the time the game ended she had 294 bonus damage and did rosh solo in about 5-10 seconds

I don't get it either.
They all have five now. The single use ones was a bug for a day or two.
Do you want long wait times and games where everyone is at your skill level or short wait times where it's more varied? That's the trade off.
Lol they are the same as normal games, stomps everywhere and whatsnot.

Is there a lead designer or art staff for valve I can email?
I'm curious if troll has a rework coming eventually, seems kind of odd that his model hasn't been posted to the workshop yet and it's been almost a year.

In practice I bet they are, but the numbers are trying to be otherwise.
I dunno, I could be wrong, that's just my explanation.
Then why does it say "Number of uses: 1" when you hover over the tool in the store?

I just want to join a match and not go against stacked teams. Bring back true solo queue!
LC jungles amazingly well. Skill her E and W and get stout/quel/tangoes. You can stay in jungle pretty much the entire time, and you don't have to attack the easy camp either.
Look for Dendis stream from yesterday, he was playing her a lot and jungling, it seemed very straightforward

I've played 11 ranked matches and still dont have an mmr. Does it not count it if someone abandons? Not like I'm really looking forward to it. I've been mostly solo queuing ranked mm and been getting killed.
Played 4 ranked party games yesterday, we won the first two pretty handily, and lost the second two after that. What was annoying is that we basically threw those two losses, both of the enemy teams had a player calling gg because we dominated the early game so hard, but then suddenly their carries came online and wrecked us.
Not having much luck with wraith-night. Either stuck with complete noobs who all stay at one tower while the rest are being attacked or people who don't speak English. This is like the soloqueue of soloqueue.
Any tips for who to pick when soloqueing in wraith-night and items to buy?

match id too pls!
It's random I believe. I haven't seen one either.
Yeah, I know it's pretty straight forward but I always like to watch pros jungle just to see if there are any little details I can pick up on to up my efficiency. I feel like it can make a significant difference overall for jungling heroes.
Pick Axe. Get Tranquil boots 2, Chainmail, Heart. Then later get another Heart or whatever works. But you should be tanking for your team. Use your W whenever you can, when there's a billion things around you, use your Q and turn on your chainmail, then finish with your ult. You're more effective the more you get mobbed and you're amazing at the first 12 waves, but this also means you're really useless against Wraith King himself. You should have a Drow or a WR for that fight though.

Those are the distribution from normal matchmaking
Those two heroes imply having furi in the jungle, where is increadibly susceptible to ganks and makes the safe lane a lot weaker. Punish that with contant ganks on the furi or pushing brood's lane to hell to severely cripple one of the two then force teamwfights while they are essentially oen hero down.
