I went from ~10500 communication score to ~9k about 3 weeks ago due to an abandon. In 3 weeks, i've regained 60 points of that. A week of 0 reports is worth 30 positive communication points. My takeaway is that an abandon probably shouldn't tank half a years (?!?) worth of communication points from an account, the system is incredibly punishing and doesn't seem to let you regain lost points. Let me ping tangos again damnit

I dropped 1000 comscore from a few "should not have engaged" arguments with teammates in the weeks before christmas but just gained 500 in the last 15 games, I'm pretty sure it's to do with not only your behaviour but also whether you're frivilously reporting people, something I'm sure the mouthbreathing reddit posters who say "I didn't say a word for 15 games (because I was muted) and my com score didn't go up!" can't get their heads around If you see slurs and swearing then that's a slam dunk report but don't report your slark for feeding when he dives their fountain with aegis like an idiot, because that's going to count against you when it isn't upheld by overwatch NtotheTC fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Jan 4, 2024 |

fountain diving when there is a clear objective which then causes you to lose that objective/ the game is 100% griefing

My friend lost a game where the alchemist dove fountain rather than hit the throne twice. Pretty much was the scenario of Press 1 to win and he did not = griefing. Someone deciding a different strategy like "oh I need one more item before I join in" is obviously open to interpretation, but again a 12k mmr player could say, yes that was griefing. It depends on how much insight you have into the game. It's too chaotic to analyse broader scenarios, but I'd be happy/ confident to conclude that a slark diving fountain with aegis rather than taking two sets of rax is basically a grief. It's pretty open and shut. Sab669 posted:it's a video game

w/e In its purest form Dota is a game of pressing your advantage. There is usually a strategically optimal thing to do at almost any given point in the game, and the higher your mmr, the more likely you are to just execute this like a stone cold killer rather than be seduced by some weird shenanigans (fountain dive at the expense of ending (note fountain diving and pulling it off is fine)/ going to farm jungle rather than grouping to push or take rosh etc.) Of course played at the highest level you will slap your dick all over the opponent and fountain dive them in TI finals, but we can't all be Topson

The closest thing I can thing of that's on the line of griefing / playing bad is ignoring a teammate and intentionally letting them die. I get there are situations where you need to just cut your losses but some times mfs will definitely just let their lanemate die 2v1 because they're upset with them and want them to appear that they're doing poorly.

Oh, hmmm, that might be it. When I hit m4 I would see the muted speech bubble pop up in game, but now it's the normal white speech bubble. Only tried in a Demo lobby but maybe I'll get a game in tonight. I haven't played in 5 days  I'm gonna be super rusty.

Been having a lot of fun picking Doom 4 this patch and making dazzle/vengeful spirit pickers not have fun in their games. Getting a cheap tanky item, blink, and an aura item is usually enough to stomp most fights. Its also pretty easy to end up around haste ms with phase and the movement speed creep aura so you can run people down or run away from them pretty easily. He also has a baller guitar cosmetic to showcase how much more metal you are than your opponents.

DK players scare me. When he was played as a Pos1 a few patches ago I came across a DK/Io lanes a few times and its terrifying because you know they both must have a pathalogical resistance to boredom. People willing to play that lane are capable of ANYTHING

DK's great because he's just often massive enough on his own stats and talents that even if I don't itemize correctly for the given game I can often just brute force my way through fights anyways. Breathe Fire applying the elder dragon debuff is such a fun little buff, too.
