CM is just the only choice. If I go all pick I go support, they pick 4 hard carries and we lose.....there should be some sort of IQ test before being allowed to play dota.
In fact one of my friends had a good idea, they should introduce a new matchmaking where instead of queuing for a mode, you queue as a position (mid, support, off lane, carry etc) then it puts a team together from that. Sure you'd still get the occasional **** like a CM who goes shadow blade first but I'm sure it's a possible improvement.

I did pretty well in the first two but in the last one NP just fed the nyx so hard that he had dagon 5, nowhere to live on the map but in the fountain.

God at least he bought BKB, that seems fairly rare. "Why would I want that" 
I need some fellows to play with, I'm pretty naff at the game though (2.4k mmr ) anyone that's on a ts or mumble that fancies letting themselves be dragged down a tad?
Add me to steam: mrbios (Show up as Bios * Slim on the list) .... oh and be prepared to see the same 4 characters over and over. I haven't really built up my repertoire yet

So are they gonna force certain heroes to play certain positions? Dota has a lot more flexibility and positions of where heroes can play than league of legends which has this.
Leads to disastrously boring same games such as lol, even a four carry game of dota can be hilarious and some how work.
Problem is it takes a while to pull your mmr up out of the idiot pool and i really cba playing that many solo ranked games. I get 3 in a row with peopel about my skill level some higher some lower and we win and then another 3 with 1 or two complete morons who throw the game and my mmr goes down.
The problem been they constantly drop and leave my mmr level but i get stuck with idiots on the way down occasionally holding me in place.

I agree. There seems to be a barrier that you need to break though. It's like you have be able to carry a team of 4 idiots before you can get into the high mmr groups.
The mmr system is just too random at tyhe moment.
Its good if you do well in the first 10 games, but i i did the initial ranking a while back when i was a lot worse at the game and now im kind of in limbo.

If the MMR system worked or meant anything quantifiable then that would be true.
For me its i want to be at a point where the majority of games i play are people around my level and not be at the 2k mmr point where i get stuck with some good people but a lot of idiots. I'm never going to get an amazing mmr but i want it to be above the retards.

It's fine when you lose a tightly fought game when you've been outplayed. It's not fun when you lose a game from a huge advantage because you're playing with vegetables.
I'm pretty sure 90% of the players in DOTA think they're trying to get to that point, and all the rage you get in games is because nobody ever does.
Seems like the matchmaking system is pretty much designed to make sure that there's a decent skill mix of players in each game. Even in ranked you end up playing with a guy who's on a losing streak and has tanked 500 from his standard average and some dude who's temporarily playing at 500 above his normal MMR because of a lucky streak of wins.
Personally as long as people don't start flaming each other I don't mind whether I win or lose as long as I feel I played decently myself.
