Dota 2 Thread: REBORN SOURCE 2 HYPETRAIN NOBRAKES

they dualed. sniper and......... i forget...... we messed them up

i had 4 unanswered kills in like 8 minutes.

btw i love it when people try to insult me, and don't even accuse me of having the right mental disease. Just saw the worst rubick ever. He used exactly 0 enemy spells the whole game and just sat autoattacking in team fights. Sigh. I need to 5 stack from now one.....

[kanyeknowsbest]

imo in your position id worry more about just playing better rather than composition.

Drafters hate him!

So my solo ranked is in.... 2755. What exactly does that mean?

[BBmolla]

That's your skill bracket. That's just around average I think? Pros are 5k - 6k.

You'll be queued with people also around that number

"better" than 75% of ppl.

What counters a PA? I just went 12-0 with her in an awesome game.
The only trouble I have ever had with her was when I was against 3 blademails in a prior game. I'm thinking in terms of heroes though, not items like mkb or hh.

I am thinking OD . I would also make rhasta and abba combo to counter her .

In terms of carries, Legion Commander, since Duel disables crit and IIRC goes through magic immunity.

i was under the assumption that that chart was for unranked.

I think it is still roughly the same for ranked. Gives you an estimate either way.

Re PA counter: BANEEEEEEEEEEEE

Bane counters a ton of carries and other heroes.

Played my first dota game in over a month tonight.

Legion Commander is sick.

Hello from Buckeye, Arizona. After driving 1700 miles it's nice to relax by the pool with my feet up. ^^

Dota has been at the back of my mind, bot games are the only thing I can play lol. Played a couple just to try out characters for a challenge, I won a Chen game which was fun.

She is

unranked includes every person who played exactly 1 game of dota and then never again

[Rothwell]

Yup, I'd say it's between 500-1000 points out, as I doubt I'm in the top 1% of players.

True...
Now I'm curious what MMR for ranked represents

[Katsuki]

I doubt it. I'm down to 4500 MMR and still got queued with Aui last week, and am still often in the first 5 pages of live games.

My party MMR like 3600, but tbh I kinda doubt we're better with 90%< people, because all of my country friends have this rate MMR (Solo and Party). Though one of my friend has friend with 4700 MMR.

Aui_2000, eh? Nice experience. Sometimes I really want to fight pros to see how we can deal with them.

Maybe it's more accurate for solo MMR, but above 4500 party MMR I'm certainly not playing with any pros.

Then again, my friends are worse and have lower MMR, so it could just be lowering it for me.

[kanyeknowsbest]

if you are the high mmr in a party at 4500 you will not be running into pros unless theyre stacking w. really low mmr players

Yeah unless you're partying with friends around the same MMR or higher, you prob won't be running into pros unless they playing with newbie friends.

i have discoverd that I really really like alch.

Played first game as him and it was hilarious.

They had a bad team but it was still a great hero experience.

In ranked captains their cap picked in this order.

Dark Seer. Rubick. Lich. Treant. Sniper

[BBmolla]

Alch is really strong right now. Start him as support, then later on have him go into a carry.

It's his stun, it's nuts.
