Meteor hammer means that a team at a huge disadvantage can't just passively sit in their base forever and kill heroes walking uphill, which turned into a big problem last patch.

Swapping free move for invis is a buff for BM I think. Running into trees is way better than immediately dying when someone with a sentry wanders over

Man I don't even know how to play support in this game anymore. Ward half the map, buy smoke, gank lanes, win at least two lanes, and then I guess lose almost every game? Am I supposed to be farming too these days or what? It feels like you have to play a core hero to have a big impact but I maybe I just suck or something. Maybe I should just pick Tusk every game and stop worrying about it.

It is fine that a game 5+ years old is gradually losing player base. It isn't the end of the world.

I played a ranked game and lost and at the end got promoted to a level like 1000 MMR higher than what I was because of a bug or something. I am still queuing at the same MMR but now I have some sick rear end medal. Thanks for reading my story.

Minorkos posted:I'm at Divine 1 at the moment. I managed to lose like 700 MMR before the calibrations and I've been trying to undo the damage ever since. The good news that as your mmr gets lower most games will either have one or zero supports, so you can go back to picking whatever. When life closes a door God opens a window. I usually play offlane or support and sort of like that it is harder there now since it seems like less of the solo queue people try to solo offlane dumb bullshit like Sniper there these days. I think it is good that heroes like Tide or Clock have more of a defined role in a lane now instead of just being a roaming guy or an afk iron talon jungler.

It just means a core that comes online super fast but generally can't stand up to a late game right click battle. Like a mid Zeus is a good example since he can control a game starting very early with a level advantage and 'carry' you to a 20-30 minute win but doesn't scale his damage after a certain point.

I don't know what Valve does with mmr for accounts that haven't played in forever but mentally gird yourself for losing a bunch of it at first. I think the average 3.5k player is in general way better than he was a few years ago.

TOOT BOOT posted:Re-calibration is kinda hilarious. I've seen multiple teammates go from playing in high skill or even very high skill go to playing in normal skill games. I was Legend 3 and lost my first three calibration games and in the fourth game there was a Crusader 1 guy on my team. Calibration ain't loving around.

I say just go crazy because I don't think really how currently skilled you are really matters over the course of a few games just because that's how Dota works. Especially right now since all the skill levels in matchmaking seem real screwy. This is probably a bit Dunning–Kruger but I could have been Dendi and still lost most of my calibration games just because a mid player on the other team seems like he is like 1000+ mmr higher than the one on mine and no help in the world is going to win him that lane. Like it is annoying that I have to go back up to eventually what I think my level should be, but that would be fine if the games right now didn't suck poo poo. Like almost everything I have played has been real unfun complete one sided stomps.

CM is pretty funny now with the attack speed/gold talents since if you are having a good game you can just randomly appear at like 30 minutes with a Mjolnir and BKB and melt the other teams carry

Enigma89 posted:I haven't really been playing that much since january but I loving suck now. This is the first time since MMR came out that I am actually below 3k. Ever since talents came out I have just been sucking and all of my old school meme builds don't work so well. You probably suck from not playing but also everyone at that mmr is way better than they were a year ago so don't feel too bad.

Know that you are entering a game with a mature player base (ie: most of the players have been playing for years) and that you might get a lot of poo poo early on for not understanding all the unwritten rules about laning/drafting/etc. If you tell people you are new then you will be surprised by how many might actually be helpful. If they aren't then tell them to eat poo poo and mute them. But yeah I think if you like the genre then Dota 2 is the deepest and most rewarding game in it.
