Hearing the problems with the custom game contest is pretty interesting. No hard deadline, no real guidance and seemingly the winner being based on the number of subscribers. Apparently the winner violated the 'no third party stuff' guideline?

apparently reinstalling dota resets your calibration progress? i had like 3 games left, had to reinstall to a different hard drive and now i'm at 10 again.

Isn't the calibration meaningless since you still have MMR and the new stuff is just an MMR bracket? The whole thing is a placebo to make people feel like they're being reevaluated and that the new thing is going to be somehow more reflective of where they should be by obfuscating things.

sure. but i'm still stuck at 10 out of 10 games after playing two games today.

i don't really care about the result, i'm just pointing out that this seems slightly buggy

Sometimes they increase the uncertainty by a little for these kinda things. Not that it matters, you won't be less trash in the 10 games than before. But yeah, definitely not starting from scratch in any case..

Your medal means literally nothing other than the highest MMR you've achieved this season. Matchmaking is still based on your numerical MMR.

How do I farm behavior score back up to normal levels because I hit C and now my games are like a chain reaction of toxicity. One guy earlier started mocking our mid's voice, charged once, and then abandoned when he died the first time which is kinda funny but not good for actually winning.

That definitely works if you can't help but play in the poo poo.

Otherwise take wangs advice and just join the LPQ party.

Friendly reminder that my IRL friend from school rounded everyone up for Dota. He only asked to play Luna because he mains her. He then proceeded to assemble the team (one guy even played from Spain at 6am just to be with us) and he rushed shadowblade with brown boots and then yasha. By rush I mean farm it up at like, 29 mins.

We lost. Badly.

Edit: lmao at toot boot's story. Dota is the best.
