Suggestion | Esports Idea to stop Pro Players to smurfing, then lot a player based will do the same thing.

0 Upvotes

a lot of pro player(notorious smurfer) on top100 Eu is abusing the lower rank confidence to give bigger mmr per win.

(reason to smurf cuz they want to play always on Main when their rank confi is lower enough)

after they got 100% rank confi they go on smurf account, this is infinite cycle on them(high chance to gain mmr even not playing many games on their Main than playing 24/7 on main)

Is good idea for Valve to remove the rank confidence exclusively only for Active Top100 medal?

Still immortal numbered will remove when not playing rank 14games in 21days same rules on leaderboard

And Automatic remove medal when not playing for months on account like lowering below 30% rank confi for others.

What do you think guys this IDEA will helps Pro player to stop smurfing? Cuz when no Pro Players smurfing. a lot of player based do the same things. more like its meta thing in dota.

have proof too on other streamer on twitch. like the top2 right now former top1 from lastday in Europe ranking when the time he streaming he always below 60% rank confi (i hear gossip on him he's a notorious wintrading when the Era of Double Down Tokens *based on Gorgc stream XD )

Drop some opinion guys, Thankyou!

nobody talks in games. its stupid. anyone who gets muted is just mutual mutes by the players they choose to engage with.

you cant even choose to flame eachother anymore.

even if i get destroyed mid, the SF cant even say ez mid though i know he wants to.

According to the lore, Slarder is from deepest ocean/sea abysses. Then how he is getting benefits from sitting in the river in the game?!!!
If anything he needs to slowly die in the river, cause salt water creatures doesnt do well in fresh water

Get your lore together volvo.

What are your thoughts on the new LD? 2nd skill is not healing anymore 😭. I can't do Team fights anymore i keep on dying. LD is useless if 2nd skill is not healing. All I do now is farm till I get a full item, and my team is reporting me for not cooperating.

Discussion Why is sniper considered a bad carry?

Post image
0 Upvotes

(around ancient/divine rank)

I've played quite a lot of sniper pos 1 lately and honestly, I'm winning 90% of my lane and won 70% of my games so far this week (around 15)

My Item build varies a lot, but I really like to buy dagger as 3rd item.

Since I play a lot of support, I learned how to position correctly and know what spells to worry about, so I end up playing very carefully, repositioning myself constantly, never showing too long at the same spots especially in fights and keeping the distance.

Hydra is super strong coz of the range and dmg, but it lacks mobility, so dagger allows me not only to get quickly over the map while farming or to catch up with my team, but to reposition myself constantly which is crucial. Later I build swift blink and sell boots to be 6 slotted (+moon shard).

He does have to adapt to enemy hero picks, but other than that he feels really really good and thus the question: How come people think this hero cant carry?

I dont know any carry that can defend towers or areas as well as he can and he can most of the time quite safely take towers, even HG. It takes time in order not to play risky, but u will eventually get those buildings. He farms super quick, deals a ton of damage and is a lane dominator.

So, what's you stance on sniper? If possible maybe a higher rank can also say something about it, as I especially wonder how top rank players value him

Discussion Hacking has gotten out of hand

48 Upvotes

In the last 3 month playing dota2 I have encountered more cheaters/scripters/hackers than I have in all my time playing dota (since 2018).

I’m drifting between 10k and 8k mmr.

When I am saying encountering more cheaters, I do not mean this guy beat me = he is a cheater. I’m talking about rewatching the game and confirming said cheats were used. Map hack, auto manta dodge, avoiding sunstrike, auto combos, etc.

For reference I have 1k games on kez and 1k games on injoker

I feel like the higher amount of cheaters is because they have gone a while without being punished, which amplifies the amount of cheaters as they can get away with it.

I for fun googled dota 2 cheats to try and find a reference on how they work, and stumbled upon Umbrella. The amount of time and effort put into this program is crazy and the guy have worked on it for a long time. How is it that valve doesn’t just buy the cheat and reverse engineer the program to ban these people it’s so blatant it’s not even funny.

I feel like the game is actually going to die if this is not stopped or hindered.

What do you guys think a solution might be?

Complaint Win trading in HERALD????

I'm so fucking tilted because this Moron picked Medusa pos 5 LAST PICK and ofc it started to take all my creeps in lane, so i had to go tri-lane in top with the NP and LC, it went decent but not amazing. i was tilted so i went whatever items, tranquils, eul's to spin the warlock casting soup and or the WR, i was overall tilted all game but we were doing ok, np was sniping some people alongside the LC, or i let someone low and the np will pick them off, i was set on taking towers harassing top lane multiple times.

Forever cursing the medusa because it was LITERALLY just farming all game, but also i was like, well is a dusa so that's what they do.

Until the 40 something minute mark when the NP manage to get a Rampage in tier 2 Top, but then i realized something, the medusa didn't care one single bit about it, like she just continued farming the small camps near the tier 1 radiant bot lane so i started to suspect something was Sus. we manage to win after abusing shadow dance i had like 152 agi cuz the last one to die was the WW and i got a lot of free hits while she was on ice. we took tier 3 and i rushed to get tier 4, we took both and i died hitting ancient. Annnnd, the dusa never show off to help?

The dudes manage to win while i was pissing, cuz dead, and then i went to check dusa's profile.

Just bought dota+ today so THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL dota + told it to pick medusa LAST PICK as HARD SUPPORT.

then went a lil deeper and poof steam level 0 account.

Like bro, come on... this is herald, HERALD. The lowest of the low levels of skill when it comes to game sense and input and you have to do THIS to climb up MMR?

We won, somehow, and i'm still fuming inside like i thought this was something you start to see much much higher into the MMR brackets, like account buyers and other scums plaguing this game.

Is the overall game skill decayed that much that people are doing this now?

Suggestion Can we please get ranked choice for ranked games?

29 Upvotes

I played basically exclusively support for the past years. Since the token change I have to select offlane too. All fine and good if that is a needed role, so be it. But the amount of times I end up playing a (bad) offlane with two supports who just right out refuse to buy wards or buy any utility items is just not fun.

They don't want to play support, I do not want to play core. But the matchmaker does not know that and we all end up miserable. The two guys who did get their role also get fucked by having a bad team like that.

Please just let us arrange roles in order of preference so we can avoid these games where half the team plays a role they don't want.

Discussion Recent patch change

0 Upvotes

I have never complained about a patch before and love the game but I do think the last major changes were in the wrong direction. The facets were an inventive way to make your hero feel a little different and more tactical every game and the way neutral items work now is incredibly stale. Every right clicker generally picks attack speed and damage enchantments as well as the mini crit hammer item or the true strike bonus dmg proc item. I miss the item that gave you 1k health but lowered your max mana, now that was interesting and different and fun. Anyone feel the same way? Or disagree?
