I've been considering doing it. I know TUSR and Anbokr had mostly everything for it ready to go.

If I were to do it, I'd like to hear more feedback on what should change from the IHL2 and 3.

For real tho, yeah since Bokr and TUSR put in that work it shouldn't be too hard to pull off. Make it happen

IHL4 should be more like Fantasy League.

You choose a team of 5 GAFers and then in their weekly pubs you get points for their achievements.

i think ihl3 was pretty smooth in terms of team size, length, etc... showing up on time and committing to your team unfortunately just comes down to captains and players (ihl2 people were much more diligent, lotta no-shows in ihl3 tho). whatever you wanna change is up to you but you can copy pasta the entire rules/setup and adapt it how you see fit

the only big change imo that you might want to consider is an individual elo league (more work here cause you gotta revamp some stuff) where you either have a bot draft random players everygame (autobalanced based on your individual ihl mmr) or new captains for every pick up inhouse and your league mmr or elo goes up and down per win and loss

the individual type of league is going to be more work though (bot potentially, new spreadsheet, etc...), and in the past whenever we did an individual league (in hon) people complained that they like teams better and then when we did teams people were like hey maybe we should do individual lol (so moral of the story is you can't please everyone just gotta yolo)

Dude he ahd it in the fucking bag. But then Goodra jobs harder that Mankind, and a goddamn rain boosted untouched shounen powered up Greninja can't take down a Mega Charizard X and took a thunderbolt form a level 10000 pikachu when he was a regular zard.

I'm so salty about this.

Yo just make IHL 4 6 regular season and 2 playoffs. There it's shorter and would still be able to have fun. You could also make IHL more of a normal thing if the overall schedule is shorter with less wait time in between playoffs.

Noted. I can see the pros and cons of both ways.

One other thing I'm considering: How many people typically sign up for these IHL's? I'm wondering from a standpoint of dividing it into skill brackets, but I can also see the arguments against that too.

Evey patch ending with "9" had a boss hero in it which was the next hero. The timing of this seems too perfect

There hasn't actually been a secret boss in Dota 2. I would hope they implement that. I wonder if that's the direction they were moving with the banana thing only showing up in private lobbies. Would be neat to see a Dota 2 implementation of that.

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
Real talk: I have never read any of the Dota (or Overwatch) comics. Even tho I like comics as a medium, it's so hard for me to garner any excitement over a one-shot webcomic about videogame characters who only display personality thru a few dozen voice lines.

Click to expand...

cancel played on kaipii for a while

attacker has kinda played comp, he tried to qualify to the shanghai major with a selfmade team, - if that counts

How many of you guys are familiar with Texas-style barbecue? There's a place near me that I want to try but I'm not sure what rubs or sauces or etc they use.

I have also, somehow, never had brisket in my life. It is not that popular here.

So i moved house recently and for some reason DOTA 2 is really jerky for me. I think it is really bad packet loss? But my Ping is absolute fine (sub 40ms most of the time).

Any ideas?

Oh and Rainbow Six Siege, the only other online game I play, is absoluty fine.

Are you on windows 10? Apparently the last update turned on recording during games.

3 games in a row full of swearing, racial slurs and hate, even after winning. Trying to come back to dota after 2 months away, and I remember why I left. Guess I'm too old to play this.

Hard to say, but Texas barbecue is a bit more tangy than sweet, in my experience. It's like curry though - everyone tries to be different a bit.

Brisket is good, if not too fatty. Give it a shot!

Drow was salty that we won because she was one of those "lol these people don't deserve to win"

I didn't do too well in this game, part of that being playing Storm against Silencer, but it was enough to make space for Drow and win it.
