bloodseeker is even cheaper to counter -- tps and a press of the s key (provided you weren't dead anyway)

I wouldn't worry about it too much right now. Yeah it sucks, but as you get better you'll get put into matches where no one picks Riki at all. I haven't seen one in forever.

Or Legion Commander's W, now that she's getting picked in every pub.
Once you reach stevewinwood-tier people only draft the best heroes like Tusk and Slardar
You're not required to play in the ranked playlist.
Although having random in ranked seems a little off to me as well.

I understand that I'm not required to play in ranked but I'm sure the majority of players now do, which should lead to better matchmaking than normal queue.
only sissies don't random. in fact i wish we had rd and ar in ranked tbh

Best heroes indeed.
Any hero that can literally ball out of control is op. See tusk and earth spirit.
Ranked matchmaking has been alright for me so far, 4-0 through my first 4 all pick solo placement matches. I just have to play a hard support (CM mostly) and buy everything but as long as I have protected our carry and warded well, we win. I am preparing for the eventual disappointment though.
Did you swap? Are you sure you didn't skill stats? What was the match id?
servers pooped again, do you still have the option to reconnect? (not asking if you are able to)
Nope, was put on the main menu as if I was never in the match. No button or anything. What makes it worse was I just won my lane as Ursa and got Vlad's and a smoke and was heading for rosh. I had a great feeling about that game. Oh well.

how do i play these heroes
My friend got that yesterday, we won 4v5 in the end by just playing rat doto + objective gaming.
There are only two ways to play clinkz.
You either steal every god damn kill and become a solo killing/tower pushing monster.
Or you feed the fuck out of yourself by positioning yourself terribly.

I was just getting into RD and now nobody plays it because it's not in ranked.

When playing support I either feel like PUPPEY or a worthless ward bitch dragging my team down. The latter makes me hate playing :-(
Dota buff says you got stats at level 1, I'll check the replay when I get home.
Edit: You somehow put the point into stats, but your mouse makes some odd movement at the very start of the game.

I get the feeling people think ranked MMR is this paradise where everyone is a pro and nobody ever has a bad game.
It's always my retort to "noob" whenever I get harassed about it. It seems to have worked so far, either they flat out deny that the rating is correct, say I'm playing on my brother's account (lol) or in the rare case, they reflect upon this and realize they're not as good as they think (had that happen once lol)

Play CM with Midas. You'll feel fabulous. Gold is in this season you know!

You of all people...
Like everything else. Practice, practice, practice. Helps if you have brain dead enemies who run in straight lines back to base.
