Support NeoGAF

[SteveWinwood]

Is that true or are you being funny? It seems like most of the people on my Friend's List are higher, so I just assumed I was lower ranked than most.

Edit: Doing some research and I guess you were being funny, because this site seems to indicate that average MMR is around 3700.

Not being funny.

That site is opt in so I think it's fair to assume it's higher than average as it's only capturing the people that bother to actually go online and look that stuff up which would probably not be the most casual.

The same I think would be said about ranked in general where even if 80% of people who play even get ranked, I'd say it's safe to assume you'd be more likely to not if you were in the low tiers.

Long story short, lots of assumptions, but I think the average is below what people have tried to figure out.

Just by browsing this thread your probably better off than most around your mmr in any mmr below 4k or something.

It's just a number anyhow. You're probably fine, and I doubt suckiness has anything to do with your age, everyone just sucks at dota.

Beaten by everybody.

 

[inkls]

Screw all you guys.

Well now I feel like shit.

At 2.5k, haven't played solo ranked in 1-2 months, I know the pain.

 

[dave is ok]

I went 9/1 in placements and got placed right at 3200 MMR. Stop acting like that's garbage tier GAF

 

[manfestival]

someone used to have a graphic of what the community was for dota 2. Essentially players viewed others as trash and themselves as being almost as good as dendi.

 

[Kard8p3]

remove viper because fuck that hero

in this in terms of "bc he sux" or "bc i h8 playing vs him"?

if the latter just pick silencer and rape him.

 

[SteveWinwood]

trash tier is less than 7k

This is true for every activity in which you are not good at: you fail to see the good plays of others and you imagine you are good.

¡Dios mío

3 digit MMR would be my goal for 2014.

4 digit MMR is crazy. What does a courier look like? burro por favor!!!

Bro I never once thought of myself as dendi. Most of the people here probably feel this way unless they are named 1.09 or haly. I certainly dont think of myself as a terrible player but I feel like im an above average player. However, my statement pretty much is how my dota 2 experience has been. Also, peruvians.

It is a way of talking. I did not mean you as in you, I meant you as in one.

By the way, this is interesting:

Studies on the Dunning–Kruger effect tend to focus on American test subjects. A study on some East Asian subjects suggested that something like the opposite of the Dunning–Kruger effect may operate on self-assessment and motivation to improve.[14] East Asians tend to underestimate their abilities, and see underachievement as a chance to improve themselves and get along with others.

1990 is the best year because I was born that year. I was supposed to be born in 1991 but they cut my mom open to take me out two months early. Shout out to the 1990 babies. My body isn't deteriorating yet but I'm still bad.

 

[manfestival]

but im the one that started this! Screw you steve! My MMR loves me!

 

[inkls]

Well, what about other factors? Like, what if he's being coached by ultrabum. Pretty sure its always the coach's fault.

 

[Sibylus]

1990 was a pretty good year to be born. *solidarity fist*

FUCCCCCK YES!

finished my 10 hero compendium challenge, finally got my tiny game sorted.

http://dotabuff.com/matches/672854173

after 3 loses, finally recovered.

Tiny, Razor and Slardar took me the most tries (4, 4, 3), I was able to do the rest in 1 try thankfully tho. (Clock, Axe, WK, Ursa, omni, morph, doom)

Thankfully no io, meepo, happy with the heroes i got!

Even Valve knew it with New Bloom. Horse baby reporting in. Apparently we're the Metal Horse.

I should start support Sniper.

Support Freakinchair Sniperino was pretty effective yesterday. Granted he was more Disruptor than Sniper

Any Metal GOAT friends in this thread?

No it wasn't. Ya'll a bunch of jailbait. Get older, dammit!

Guys, all my compendium predictions reset to "Make a selection" when I choose something.. Anything I can do?

What, why? He's the ultimate comeback gank hero. Get a few good track bounties and get ready to see that gold graph swing. I usually play support heroes but he's definitely one of my go to offlaners. Also, I feel that Shuriken toss should be maxed a lot earlier on for early ganking.

 

[Zeknurn]

Bragging about being born in the 90s? Well I've seen it all.

The other day I got into a serious discussion with a friend that said that Lina looked like 18-20 years old. I said "no way lol", shes at least 25. So i started guessing the apparent age of many different waifus and husbandos. Gave omniknight 58yo and Rikki 19yo. Mirana about 23yo and Luna 29yo (best age). Hope they answer these questions in the visual novel.

 

[Mohasus]

Mirana seems way older than 23.

 

[Calidor]

I know a lot of good people with solo MMR of 2.2-2.7k MMR. 3.7K MMR is amazing so I highly doubt thats the general Dota nation

3,8k here. Thanks man, I feel much better at myself now



JK, I still think that I make horribly disgusting mistakes / decisions and I'm rightfully rated where I should be: peruvian pudge/sniper pickers or 5man carry teams.

I know. Broodmother is about 25yo since tarantulas have a life expectancy of about 20-25yo even though normal spider dont even get to live one full year. Amazing. Dota helped me research some cool spider facts. =o
