Cheers guys
Does the Abandoner's tier have it's own skill tiers within it, or is it like a free-for-all?

So am I the only one getting the feeling that Valve has no idea what the fuck they're even trying to do with Dota cosmetics as a whole?
This is like the third (fourth?) attempted system overhaul and I don't see what this is supposed to change.

^ Force random at 0:00. I see no reason not to abuse counter picking honestly if winning is your objective, the game basically encourages you to do it.
My guess would be the latter because of the reduced player pool but I don't know for sure.

If you're so concerned about counter picking, that would imply that you care about having better games, no? Why not play ranked AP then? I am pretty sure you can't wait till 0:00 to counter pick in that since you're forced to take turns.
Team composition in ranked AP is way, way better than in unranked. There are some obvious reasons, like the fact that people care more about winning so they won't go into games with a 1-protect-4 strat, but also just because you take turns picking, so you are forced to look at your team comp and make a conscious decision about what you want to play.

I play unranked because occasionally I play with friends who are newer and don't want to or can't do ranked.

A hat is never late, nor is it early, hats arrives precisely when Valve means to.

is this kinda stuff common:
because it happens to me in 9 out of 10 games when I'm not playing with higher-tier people, and sadly that isn't an exaggeration.
I don't know whether it's smurfs who ditch at the first sign they might lose a game or whether it's frustrated new players or what, but it's super annoying and renders irrelevant any sort of long-term stat tracking.

Please post your Dotabuff with the not exaggerated 90% rate of games with abandons.

Always wondered if Slickz was as good at Dota as he was in HoN, looks like the answer is yes; wish he was on a good team (not Zephyr)

I only do so if they do it to counterpick. Also had somebody rage on me for it.
Seems about right.
Wasn't even that, we were already 5 minutes into the game. I mean I understand idiots on the other team unpausing to get an advantage, but why would anyone want to fuck over their own team? The best thing was that the guy who kept unpausing was the same guy that later complained when the team didn't stick together. We won anyone though, so whatever.
People really are monsters I guess.
They are the same ppl who believe int hero = support
Also, the same people who first pick PA, Lifestealer, sven and slark. Physical dmg = right click hero = carry. Magical dmg = int hero = support.
Part of the game brah

OD, Necro, and Storm are my favourite supports, personally.

I really wish teams were not allowed to run tournaments, this BO5 winners advantage has come out of no where and wasn't in the rules or anything.
Really surprised Team Tinker didn't question it.

Probably because it's a fucking awful arcana
Winners bracket advantage is the stupidest shit ive ever heard of
Its like giving a team in the FIFA World Cup a one goal advantage if they are top of their group
Its fair since it's never actually a double elimination bracket.
Hey, VP also sponsors it, I'm sure there was a vote.
Are we sure VP and Na'vi aren't both owned by ZeroGravity and they just look like different organizations?
It makes Spoon walk on the ground, its amazing. The only bad part is the pig outfits for the other two, and you fix that by just not using them. The cart is nice and the mine replacements are too.
I wasn't aware there was a ticker. Is there a FireFox version?
She got a lot of buffs, 50% blur is insanity, and her counters got hard nerfed. Doom, duel and chrono not removing evasion.
So you have to nuke her with magic or buy expensive items to counter her now, and not just pick doom and void.
i agree. advantage just cause you come off winners bracket is absolutely lame. a lot of people in here whined about it too if i remember correctly.
