Does forced 50% really not exist? Went through a series of losses where I was playing with absolute idiots who'd rather farm a small camp then take racks to a series of wins where it was clear the enemy team were just terrible. So back to my initial MMR, play a game where I know we've almost certainly lost at the pick stage, 6 mins and the entire team abandon one by one.
Probably a coincidence but goddamn if it isn't frustrating.

I'm in the same boat, still wondering if I should just stick to my 1080p 120hz monitor until we see those coming, or if it's not really worth waiting for and just buy a PG279Q ( or be a little crazy with the more expensive PG348Q for that 21:10 ).

Forced 50 is not real. It has been debunked time and time again. If you have a relatively steady 50% win rate, you are just not improving at a high pace. That is all.
Forced 50 is real! How else can you explain that enemy Invokers can cycle through all spells, refresh and cycle through them all again and Invokers on your team can only use Cold Snap and miss all Sun Strikes? Wake Up People!!
Never heard of it but after a quick search it looks a lot like a cheating tool rather than an helper...
In all seriousness, 50% simply means you are where your skill level allows you to be.

Before even looking at evidence, think for a minute: How would "forced 50" even work if it was real? Does Dota somehow peg the "idiots" and when you win some games an alarm goes off at Valve that says "HONK HONK, WINNING TOO MANY GAMES DETECTED, INSERTING IDIOTS, FORCING FIFTY PERCENT"?
Sometimes you get bad players, or people having a bad game for whatever reason (more often the case), but generally if you are winning 50℅ of your games, you are probably at the right MMR and either improving slowly or not at all.
You are going to gravitate over your average winrate eventually (and for most people it's in the 47%-53% range), you just have to play enough games.
If you are in the 50+, you are usually going to gain mmr, it just takes an awful long time and you have to stick to it. We're talking 300+ games to stabilize at 500 mmr gained so yeah you'll have win streaks and loss streaks, it'll be kind of close to a split for wins and losses overall bit you'll still go up. Can't just look at one week of data.

Banned from matchmaking for 24 hours lol. Well if that's the price to pay to not play with asshole, so be it.
I use this too. Never got the hang of moving the camera with the mouse. Makes clicking stuff in the middle of a fight harder.

The fact that we got a patch 6.88c and 6.88d makes me think that 6.89 is quite far away. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get a patch till next month maybe? Have they said anything about when the next major is going to be?

I initially refused to watch this because it felt like the title just trying to be outrageously pandering. It was actually pretty entertaining, and the author/anime makers even had the courage to go deep into the theme of incest at the end.
