As long as they put them on the best setting that will help things.

A bot to support is better than one person leaving and all the rest skittling out after the leaver because they are now a man down.

On the best setting they'd beat most people on here :p
 
Don't think the other two have their effects in yet, but Drodo was best looking regardless :D, although tempted to stick some pink or black EF on it.

I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld so I love the Murrissey the Smeevil the most.

Also BLACK EF? you have black paint? how, must be really rare.

Extract from affliction of vermin is it or previous diretide would be my guess, not 100% sure but there are black effects you should be able to extract

TI2 Smeevil is in my top five couriers as well though, unfortunately had to sell mine but will pick one up again next year
 
Aslong as you get BKB and manta off with decent farm you should pretty much cane anyone with late game Luna.

You'll still get wrecked by something with fast attack speed and a bash though in a large teamfight.
 
Luna isn't bad in lane, something like a viper will be aids to play against but is pretty much the same for anyone against viper.

High damage Q, high base attack damage especially with E and last hitting is pretty easy
 
Depends on your team mates too and if you have decent ward coverage, she can miss out on farm for a minute or two while mid sits your jungle as the ult will catch you up later in the game.

Wonder when DP is going to get a nerf

Mids without a stun or big autoattack generally don't get picked very much.

DP is an absolute ganking monster if your laners have anything resembling a stun or slow, and if the other mid goes off, take their tower, get the gold and go start pushing other lanes.

Her ult is one of the funniest things in the game, especially with the move speed
 
Awful by S4 and Loda at second last team fight at rosh, pointless call down, and blink in and not laso the jugg. Shouldn't have been that close anyways
 
This'll be good for the people who can't play games just for fun anymore and have to see an arbitrary number change for a sense of accomplishment, could bring some over from lol

It's not arbitrary it's based on wins/losses and who you beat. Yey for elitism

Yet if I go and play tidehunter or death prophet I'll probably be whatever the old very high bracket is now, if I go and play say Silencer or something which I'm terrible at I'll be a fair bit lower. Also doesn't really consider picks/item pick ups just flat out wins/losses and who you beat is a bit vague for a game as in depth as dota.

Anyways, will be good to hear people complain they aren't being ranked what they think they should etc etc. Telling how good someone was at dota before wasn't hard, nor was judging yourself.

Team matchmaking it would likely be fantastic for though, although I think it is already there and pretty crap from what I've heard

I think there are some misunderstandings with regard to how this works. Ranked matches are only AP, Captains Mode/Draft. You can't random. If you don't want to play ranked matches you are free to play normally as you always did.

True it doesn't consider item picks but it looks at team gold metrics to see how close the game was. It doesn't just consider wins and losses. Individual MMR can go up or down for a win although obviously it is more likely to go up.

Ranked matches were a much needed change in dota 2

So I can still go up MMR by having high GPM? I'd be interested to know how it determines how your MMR will go down for a win.

CS:GO and SC2 are very different games
