There was but they removed it. I don't remember why.
Wouldn't it pretty much kill 4 ppl party ?
But the same old modes would also exist so you can also solo and get paired up with stacks. There would just be a new mode called "All Solo" or something like that...
Or just add a bot to the 4 stack lololol
Didn't ranked already do that?
I don't think it does, solo ranked doesn't mean you won't play with/against party.

I thought the flying one was a Gyro set, which would have made it the greatest set in history.
I feel s&y would be good if you are going to be stuck fighting a lot, it's cheap and gives 300 hp, 2 armor, 30 damage/as, and makes you really fast. Also manta losses a lot of effectiveness if the enemy has a hero that destroys illusions really quickly.

I think it was taken out when ranked matchmaking was introduced, probably to avoid splitting the player base too much.
You already can't have a 4-person party for ranked.
Wow I didn't know, guess i never took too much attention to it post game.
Guess I'm lucky to only have two friend to play dota 2 with, and that no one on the gaf channel want to join us.
There was a solo Q option
Valve removed it
They then brought out the "no 4 man stacks in ranked" as an alternative
Its really dumb
Solo Q was amazing, especially in unranked. Now you often get you + 4 LoL players vs a clan 5 stack
Everyone would report Pudge pickers.
Go back to diablo
i dont get it
wasnt it an option?
people who wanted the faster queues could opt out of solo queues while people who wanted a perfect solo experience could wait
right now valve are just favouring stacks to shit on the solo queuers
cool job valve. its like their stance on surrender votes. a pointless removal of choice to satisfy older fans.

The pool would be so small the MMR balance would be awful. Solo isn't a paradise of perfect games everyone thinks it would be, it would be long wait times for a large discrepancy in MMRs. Even back when solo existed this was a common issue it had. With the pool split in half from even that, it just becomes a disaster waiting to happen.
When there was a solo queue option, it added like a solid 5 minutes to the queue and had really unbalanced games, it just wasn't used. Most players just want to find a game quickly and don't care about a stack.
You know, looking at Dotabuff, it seems the API did report if a game was from Solo match making or not. Maybe someone out there actually ran the numbers, or dotabuff has at some point, on how many people played it.
Guess I misunderstood. You mentioned 4 people party, so i just meant that you can't do a 4 party ranked game.
Oh well, lack of sleep leads to not being able to comprehend.
They already do
That's most likely me being wrong, if we can't do 4 party ranked game ( which I didn't know since I always 2-3 man dota ) then I guess solo ranked doesn't make you play with/against people who play party ranked ( or it does and then I don't get why it doesn't allow 4 party ranked ? ).
They deserve it.
If I remember correctly, she had boots + 4 tangos into bottle
She just harassed with auto attacks (40 damage lol) and spammed spells like crazy. Was probably mostly down to Pudge being pants in head retarded though

The solution was to never have added Ranked games in the first place.

In all fairness this isn't limited to 4 man stacks. I've seen 2 man stacks bitch at other members of the teams when one of them was blatantly playing the worst in the game. I'd prefer the option for solo queues even if it does segregate the player base
What does that make me?
52.63% without Earth Spirit
Jesus christ. Literally ALL your fault that Earth Spirit was nerfed to the ground.
Hero is still good, just a bit weak.

I had a random ES buff idea
1. Revert nerf
2. Make it where when you pull a rock (to stun) in the first 300 travel distance of the rock it does not stun. Either that or make it where the pull accelerates the rock slowly then picks up speed and gains more damage as it moves faster.

When did they add player stats for game impact for dotabuff?
Apparently TB's my highest game impact, because I played him only once and dominated. Big Surprise.
nghh my Troll Stats. 460 Average GPM 78% win rate over 40 games. Sogood.gif.

It still happens with 3 man groups as well. Over the weekend (Is Weekend DOTA really a thing? I feel like weekends seem to bring out the worst players of the community in full force) I first picked QOP and was told to play support because clock wanted mid, LC wanted jungle and timbersaw wanted safelane, leaving the other solo quer who randomed dusa first to go hard lane.
I wish 4 man groups would be added back into ranked. It sucks that my group of friends and I are essentially punished because perceived bad behavior elsewhere. I know..why not pick up a fifth? We try but it's surprisingly difficult to pick up a fifth even when I advertise on GAF guild and GB channels/send out invites on my friend's lists.

If I remember correctly they explicitly stated the 4 stack removal was experimental. I'm fine with them trying different things, if they don't work they'll change it. I'd rather them be fluid trying to implement something better than stuck in something mediocre.
How about:
1 - Revert nerf
2 - Make Stun/Silence and damage be based on the distance traveled by the remnant
?

Yeah I know it's not set in stone but it's just not a great position in my case. In terms of experimental things, I'd love for them to implement RD into ranked. I feel like more than anything, RD right now feels like a happy medium for people who don't want to face the same pub stompers but also want some semblance of control over what hero they want to play.

Unsure if that would work in wc3 engine.
He really needs to kill it off soon.
edit: I guess mirana's arrow is similar, so maybe it could be done. Still he should kill off support for WC3 within the next year.
