Am I crazy or did the size of AoEs get a buff recently? I've seen a huge warlock shadow word and a giant meteor hammer on youtube recently and nobody is talking about it. It makes me think I am going insane.

Meteor hammer specifically got a buff to its aoe along with a slight damage nurf in a recent-ish patch

I hit 5k back when that was good but now I'm awful at the game and barely maintaining 3k. Knowing all your mistakes as youre making them is a bad feeling.

A really good feeling though is just selling all your items and buying a rapier when your team is being needlessly toxic in a winning game

I've always been 3k no matter what, one time after going to TI I got really psyched to ladder and briefly crested 4k and immediately fell back down to where I belong

What's the longest queue time anyone's seen in the post-game screen? Today it said someone waited for a game for 24:17 and I can't imagine not deciding to just do something else after like five minutes unless I was in a full stack

i think really high mmr people have to wait ages. They seem to spend a lot of time theorycrafting and practicing in demo mode while they wait

Then just tab out and do something else.

They’ve added surrender for 5man parties (post 30min) and made it possible for 5man parties to match with non-5man https://twitter.com/wykrhm/status/1544761036284104705?s=21&t=gPagr4xkPIPIHKjBovld6g

That’s cool they should just make it a thing in all games and have it require 5/5 votes or some poo poo

causticBeet posted:That’s cool they should just make it a thing in all games and have it require 5/5 votes or some poo poo people are just way too quick to give up, especially at lower mmr where everyone is poo poo and the game can swing on the outcome of a single late game teamfight I'm also unsure how I feel about letting 5stacks match against non-5stacks bawfuls fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Jul 7, 2022 |

BP should be starting around the end of the major, based on when the collector’s cache submissions started. But we are in uncharted BP territory so don’t take my word for it

Strict solo queue option should still work in ranked but I think duo queuing just got even worse since now you can get paired with three dumbos and still have to fight a five-stack

Who doesn't love being the solo queuer matched with a 4-stack vs a 5-stack?

I wonder how many of these matchmaking changes that they've implemented every so often are just to make queue time a little more manageable as the playerbase slowly declines...

I'm only in Legend, and my queue times are often 15+ minutes.

Any MM change you see is either related to reddit complaining or some kind of Valve data analysis I think. In this case there has been a steady stream of complaints about bad matchmaking for 5stacks on Reddit, with screenshots showing large medal discrepancies between two teams. (interestingly, net change in players per week is almost 0% year over year)

I stopped playing for three years in 2017 and I don't remember queue times ever going beyond five or six minutes. Lately, they routinely do, and if anything, I had slightly higher MMR when I stopped playing.

it all depends on where you queue, at what skill, and what role. There are massive differences in server population worldwide https://stratz.com/players/queue

My only wish for matchmaking is less one-sided games but neither ranked or unranked seem to have any impact on that

I've had quite a few good "Who can throw harder" games recently. Was just playing Legion Commander for the first time in ages and was having a great start and then suddenly the Lich on the other team abandoned 25 minutes into the match

I don't think I've seen a Primal Beast pick in like a month. It disappeared from the meta extremely rapidly after the nerfs.

My buddy who only plays offline absolutely loves Primal Beast But he’s Herald and the rest of our group is only Guardian/Crusader so picks against the meta can work in our poo poo tier

Position 4 zeus is pretty fun, chugging clarities for 20 min and mario hopping away from carries trying to stop you from removing every single enemy ward

My worst fear came true this weekend. I was alt tabbed while loading into Hero Select. Tab back in, select & ban Techies... But was a second too late and locked in Techies instead  Thankfully someone swapped with me.edit: also this
