I have two albums compatible with steam, ones the zelda 25th anniversary album, the other is moloko. I listen to moloko.
I think I've had confirmation that the ranked calibration matches confirm your hidden mmr

I had always wondered if the game was coded to support ties. Guess not.

Can someone explain the compendium daily challenge to me please? do you just get points once per day or for every win.
Edit: looks like its daily, as you'd need 40 days of victories to max it out...which should be around the time of the finals.
I know it sounds like a daft question, but the language of this compendium on thne whole is terrible

Dota network down for everybody?
Same here but pinging the servers seems ok, or is the network different from the servers?

Can't connect either
I've got a question for the medusa players out there, is it worthwhile to level her ult at level 11?
Radius: 1000
Attack Damage Amplification: 30%/40%/50%
Move Speed Slow: 50%
Attack speed slow: 50
Turn Rate Slow: 50%
Gaze Duration: 6
Stone Duration: 3
there is no change in cool down, no change in mana cost, the only difference is the 8% or so increase in damage from physical hits,
wouldn't more points in the other skills be more worthwhile until 14?

Took 2 minutes but I finally connected. Good job all I want to do is play a couple of bot games.

Unranked party with a wide range of mmr's among members - although I admit, mine is among the lower-middle spectrum.

I bought the DAC compendium, but I don't see where I can access it? I opened it in the armory and got the rewards... My profile just shows the 2 International compendiums. HALP.
Go to 'Watch', 'Tournaments', 'Premium', check the 'Sort by owned Tournaments' box, find the DAC tournament, and click the green book icon.
Thanks, they could have made it a bit easier to find.

Figuring out how to make a shitty draft work is exactly why it's so fun.
That and it's the best way to learn new heroes along with SD(but I can still avoid heroes I can't play in SD).
there is literally no way to make this draft work. we're 17 5 down after 15 minutes.
i mean come on 4/5 our team is squishy as hell and they have a clinkz and undying is literally a counter to phoenix.
a single tombstone can basically cause a teamwipe for us easily. undying isn't even being careful with them, he just pops them up whenever we're nearby and we can't go anywhere near him.
[edit] at least they got an actual team out of it. a carry, a ganker, a great initiator, and a pusher. we just got shit.
At that point you're mostly using it as an escape tool so you can farm safer, so yes it's fine to skip it.

Well yeah sometimes you get a shit draft while they get one that might even work in competitive. Then again it's just AR, win/lose doesn't matter.
Maybe they should tweak it slightly so teams aren't completely unbalanced, I went up against a literal 5 hard-carry lineup the other day, they couldn't possibly win with that laning phase.

Refresher Aghs wall is OP as hell
or undying falls off hard after 30 min and that their initiator (centaur) decided he didn't need a blink >.>

i dont think thats a terrible team tbh
I'm just gonna say how I'd lane it as a way of thinking out loud.
Firstly, it's fair to say your right click is poor outside of silencer if he gets a great game. So you should focus on trying to win mid game. I'd put Phoenix mid, where he will likely be against Tinker, and if done right should be able to deny him loads thanks to spirits. Delaying his BoTs is very important, so the bird man should just concentrate on that. I would expect them to put centaur off and ogre undying clinkz tri safe, but it could also be dual off. In either case, SD is an excellent zoner, so have him do that whilst tusk pulls and silencer farms. Silencer can also help zone whenever they get too close cus he has glaives and curse, neither of which draw aggro. Dark seer goes off, and can rotate to jungle if needs be.
I don't see you being able to get ambitious kills early, but I also think they shouldn't be able to kill you, thanks to disruption and snowball.
DS get mek, Phoenix get pipe, silencer go aghs, maybe get a Midas first. Once you have the mek and pipe tho, group and push. They should not be able to fight into global, mek, pipe and two excellent defensive spells.
A couple of you should also get forcestaffs. This could be anyone but silencer (who needs aghs refresher ASAP IMO) tbh. SD and Tusk should always be near your farmers, so if clinkz ever tries to get a solo pickoff between your pushes, you disrupt him and walk away, or snowball, then wait for reinforcements. Similar if centaur jumps you.
As the game goes on, keep investing in more defensive items, more forcestaffs, shivas on DS or Phoenix, maybe a ghost sceptre or two. BKBs as well if needed. Because your team really doesn't build damage you should have the money and slots for these team items. Breaching high ground will be tough, but as long as you don't let clinkz get fat I don't see them being able to kill your pipe mek creep waves very fast, so just slowly grind away at them, don't let them farm.
I realise you already finished by now, but I just wanted to indulge myself to practice my theorising.
Phoenix solo safe, DS roam with Tusk (600 ms snowballs ez life), Silencer mid and SD solo offlane kill noobs with poison and can pull the camps (on radiant)
Tbh if Tusk hadn't been nerfed so much from his original incarnation that was SO FUN, it'd be such a joyful hero to play and watch. IFraud plz

NO.
No, just put points in split shot and skip further levels in ult until you know you are going to fight. Stats are crazy good on medusa.
10% increased dmg from all sources of physical damage on your team is def. worth more than an extra point in split shot or stats.
