maybe it's my poo poo-tier bracket but I've found it is significantly more common in unranked

in ranked role q you can report someone for not playing their role, but annoyingly you can only report them for that within the first few minutes of the game

Nah you're right it is less common in ranked, I'm just being whiny cause it did happen in my last ranked game and there was no recourse because of the goofy way reporting works

How are bans supposed to work because it seems very rare that anything I suggest actually gets banned. I've heard 50% but it seems way lower for me and I'm wondering whether there's some kind of opaque system at work or my account is bugged somehow.

Also I just played with a guy that was so emo he talked himself into throwing the game over the course of 30-40min without anyone even responding to him. I think the first thing anyone said in teamchat was 'Report Viper' after he announced for the third or fourth time that he was throwing.

It is supposed to be 50% chance to ban each hero that’s nominated, then it bans additional heroes until it’s banned 16 total. The additional ones are based on ban rates at that mmr.

Wait, so it bans heroes that are commonly banned at that bracket, effectively inflating those ban percentages?

I can't really say for sure, but there's a good chance auto bans don't count towards the overall manual ban rate which would feed the auto banner.

There's also a good chance the auto bans don't really impact the ban volume tremendously.

quote:

Added Flagbearer Creep. Starting at minute 2 one of the melee creeps in every second creepwave is replaced by a Flagbearer. It has 40% magic resistance and an Inspiration Aura, which gives +3 Health Regen to all allies within a 700 range. Killing an enemy Flagbearer will grant you and each allied hero within 1200 radius bonus gold equal to 100% of a Melee Creep's bounty. Does not grant gold on deny and cannot be denied by hero abilities, e.g Demonic Conversion.

HITCH A RIDE
Reworked Scepter. Grants new ability: Hitch a Ride. Centaur tosses an ally into a cart hitched behind him.

Overclocking
Reworked Scepter. No longer refreshes all of Clockwerk's abilities on cast and neither grants bonus Movement and Attack Speed. While Overclocking is active, all of Clockwerk's abilities are supercharged: Battery Assault damages and stuns all enemies within its radius. Power Cogs increase Clockwerk's Attack Speed by 250 while Clockwerk is inside. Rocket Flare has its cooldown decreased to 3s and shoots 2 additional flares to either side of the target area. Increases Hookshot stun radius and duration by 50%. When Overclocking expires, Clockwerk is stunned for 3s. Buff Duration: 13s. Cooldown: 50s.

Normal Punch
Ability is now granted by Scepter
Illusion damage equals replica damage of the current level of Wall of Replica
Min Damage increased from 10 to 50
Max Damage increased from 300 to 450

DECOY
Now granted by Scepter. When cast, turns Hoodwink invisible, increases her movement speed by 15%, and creates a decoy of her that starts charging up Sharpshooter, aiming at the nearest visible enemy in 3000 range. If attacked or targeted by a spell, the decoy is destroyed and a lesser Bushwhack is cast towards the attacker. If the decoy was not attacked, it shoots the Sharpshooter in the direction it was aiming, dealing 60% of its regular damage

edit: sometimes, but not always, and sometimes it also just farts out an illusion that runs at the nearest enemy

I'm loving these Engima buffs. Scepter was such a waste before:

quote:

Enigma
Malefice
Reworked Shard. Increases Malefice stun duration by 0.35s and at every tick on an enemy hero creates an Eidolon which cannot split but still get a refreshed duration after a set amount of attacks
Black Hole
Reworked Scepter. Deals additional damage equivalent to 3.5% Max Health and pulls all enemies in the 1200 AoE with the speed of 175 units. Units being pulled in the additional Scepter radius can still move
Talents
Level 10 Talent +0.35s Malefice Stun Duration replaced with +50 Black Hole Damage Per Second
Level 15 Talent +200 Midnight Pulse Radius replaced with +350 Health
Level 20 Talent +400 Health replaced with +200 Midnight Pulse Radius
also +1 armor to Rubick hell yeah; the undying cast points buffs are great too
