They have way more than 7M players worldwide it's best not think about it.
"Riot reports that 27 million people play the game daily, while concurrent players peak at 7.5M."

Although the playerbase is unquestionabley higher than Dota's by quite a margin, Riot's numbers can't be trusted.

Do they separate languages and regions?

This sounds like some heavy BS
Im sure they have 27 million accounts created
Of which maybe 1/4 are actually active daily
Still puts them way higher than the daily users of Dota which is probably why their queues are much shorter.
On the other hand, loading into the game takes way longer unless they've cleaned that up since I stopped playing.
I doubt it takes longer overall than dota. I got 3min+ queue every time and 2 dodges before a game finally starts. They need to remove the option to dodge soon because it´s beyond stupid.
One change I particularly like in this patch is the camera views you get while waiting for others to load. They just need to fix some of them from being inside buildings like the fountain.
It's much better than staring at a blank map though.
Also, did they secretly make camera moving console commands cheats now? My rune spot buttons weren't working last night after the patch.

The camera coordinate auto execs don't work anymore. I think there might be a workaround/fix but I haven't looked into it yet.

ET is still a really good hero. 0-4-4-0 still wrecks and the sooner you get a Soul Ring, the earlier you win your lane for free. I swear you can't lane against Ancestral Spirit spam at all.
Hmm, I'll look into it after work today. I really miss my instant rune spot views.

Laning vs ET is more managable now (because spirit keeps getting nerfed) but the problem is that he can just decide to start punching you and then you're fucked.

The Spirit nerf made it impossible for him to one-shot the ranged creep which made him a far weaker mid. Infinite Spirit spamming with Soul Ring is still basically impossible to deal with in lane.
The extra monies from randoming is really cute thoI'm about to go to a negative W/L ratio because of randoming my hero. It's fun to random though

I have a feeling this may be to blame:
Now we only need solo matchmaking and we can live the dream.

I am weak. Spent far too much on the compendium/immortal boxes off the market because I'm impatient.
Also, when the fuck did they fancy up the hero pick screen/loadout UIs? I haven't been keeping up much with Dota (in-game at least).

I loved how GoDz's brain just broke when the Rubick stole Ravage like a minute after the Tide cast it. That game was something else. The stolen 4 man Black Hole from Rubick was incredible, but sadly he had no follow up

I feel like not playing dota 2 as much in the past couple of months has been a mistake....

45+ minute queue times here we come!
This is what the community wanted, right!?

Cyborgmatt hasn't tweeted in 2 days. Someone call the police and have them check his apartment

Better than playing against 4 stacks.

If it ever gets to the point of 45 minute queues, I literally could not play Dota on weekdays anymore.
Playing dota is infinitely better than not playing Dota.

$200 seems to be the highest it's been at in a long time.

You do know they had solo matchmaking in before right? Queues were nowhere near 45 min. I don't think you have much to worry over.
The only answer is to just hold it. It will become the next TF2 Bill's.
Sale should start in about an hour if it's gonna happen.
