If you queue for ranked captains draft you can still get interesting team compositions.

i love meepo 
he is hard at first but he doesnt seem that hard after a decent amount of games. I think in my fist 20 games with him i had like 20% win rate, had people call me worst meepo, shitty meepo, never play meepo again, etc but i got the hang of it after around 25 ish games. however its really easy to counter pick him. like no matter how good you are, if you pick meepo vs earthshaker or timbersaw you'll just get fucked most of the time lol

I will never give up on my Spectre. She always holds a special place in my heart.

Ranked matchmaking is getting better everyday for me.
1 peruvian feeded because he didn't want to play support.
1 Mirana bought 4 boots because...I don't know, wanted to troll because it's cool nowadays I guess.
1 Timber started Ramboing the enemies because he thought we could win easily.
Last picker choosed to random random, he got Sniper even though the rest of the team picked and we already had carries and no supporters.
Games were good today, 6 ranked loses in a row.

Queue in Yurp West
Git gud so you aren't paired with retards
Play support yourself for once. It's always a gamble in pubs if your MMR isn't above that of Dendi, that people decide that they hate playing support and pick 4 hard carries.

Yeah I agree with Remco here. When I queue for a ranked match I will usually support, even though it isn't my role of choice. Most often waiting as long as I can to pick as well.
The only bad ranked match I've encountered was someone randoming Chen and then deciding after we all picked that he couldnt play Chen, and repicked into a Magnus which ended up not doing anything for us. However, the very next match after that one, I was on the opposing team he was on, and was able to beat him on Morphling mwahaha.

Tried , EU East, EU West & 'murica East today.
That's what I do. I usually pick support heroes (not only on ranked, on normal too) I pick support or offlane heroes. My top 5 most played heroes are Windrunner, Crystal Maiden, Mirana, Kotl of the light & Warlock after all.
It's not that I care that much about my ranking points, I just didn't enjoyed any of these games I played today (and I'm one of those guys who can enjoy a game even if I lose).
I guess it was just a bad day.

Few things I think about this patch:
1. I think Drow with her new silence is much more viable in the pro scene. She's seen a few appearances notably from DK, but still not much. With her new silence, it's SO much easier to land multiple hero (3+) silence. It's decently wide and goes out pretty far. I don't think she's gunna be a top pick, but all these little changes shes been getting over the past few patches I think are pushing her in a good spot.
2. I think Phoenix, despite what le reddit army says, has a decent shot at comp play. He's not his problem self from patches ago. I think he's very balanced now though. I'm not sure what lane pro would put him in, but I feel he can play all 3 lanes well. He has good primary stat gain and has a nice range/attack animation (his backswing feels better when compared to Dota 1 in Dota 2). He's also a ranged strength hero, which is always nice. Offlane he can harass with his spirits just fine and has his dive to escape ganks. Mid same and can contest runes very easily with dive. And as a support he can harass VERY well from afar. I think ATM his attack slow is VERY undervalued by a bunch of players. As max level 140 attack slow is RETARDED. Only problem is towards the later game his abilities aren't what some heroes are (ex. Visage as a support). Since most his abilities are DOTs they're really good in the early/laning stage but when you get to that late-mid/late game, burst damage is much more valued. I think his ult though still puts him in a good position to force enemies to run, fight him, or take a teamfight that can end badly for them.
edit: another problem I forgot to mention with Phoenix is that his spells CD are higher than most. I think if he does need future buffs, this would be the correct area.

But I'm a bit confused as to how he can contest runes with his dive, since it orbits him back to the start point, unless he is stunned or you ult. Or is his slow and harass enough to scare the opposing mid lane to retreat from getting the runes?
Perhaps I am missing how he works entirely, I don't have much experience in playing him.
You can stop mid way through your dive.
He looks fun, but I never ever had any experience with him, so I feel like I'm watching Earth Spirit all over again.

Sure, but DS ult requires a bit of placement and has a long CD to go with it =p.
Oh wait, so his Reflection isn't AoE anymore? I totally missed that change... But I remember when this skill was introduced to replace his lifesteal it was OP as hell.
I also laned against Phoenix today, his AS slow is so annoying, you can't trade with him at all when he uses it.
Does anybody know if illusions can help killing his egg?

i have a few questions here
are we playing 6.80?
meepo's ult at lv4?
was lycan buffed in any way at all? he destroyed our whole team alone .-.
one last thing. is this LoD? http://puu.sh/6E8Hv.jpg
yes
yes
the wolves invis and hp regen got a little bit buffed, but nothing really major
yes, but the pool which you can draft your abilities from is smaller than LoD (only the skills of 10+2 heroes)

You could, technically, pick up the rune (assuming you path it correctly) while diving without stopping too though. Much like ES roll or Storm's ball you can pick up runes/use items and such while doing it.bmin11 wrote:

Illusions do not do anything to the egg. The only type are Meepo clones, they can attack the egg.Tshemmp wrote:

Also, TB will be picked in the current meta, calling it now. IDK how high value of a pick he will be, but he can definitely fit in. His spilt push is so insane and he can do so much DPS at lvl 3. Meta form is so fucking strong. I never really thought to get a radiance on him but after watching rtz and other do it it seems completely viable.

I stopped playing ranked when there were a lot of ES and Broodmama abusers, I hope this patch is more balanced, since i'm planning to play ranked nonstop at least until 4,5k (currently solo ranked 4006, party 4070~)Soulclenz wrote:

I got one of the Jadehoof couriers after the ursa/firecracker change on day 1. The new entrance fee is too harsh for those with less ingots. I don't even think it's worth it anymore with those kind of payouts.

After 2 weeks of playing and watching, Phoenix is going to be a really strong offlaner. He can support but he needs the levels too bad. Plus he's not the best ganker (though he can). He's still good at turning around dives too specially in the early-mid game if he has success in offlane (only need levels, items don't matter).
I think Bulba will be the first player to fiend it.

LoL is like 10 times easier to get into than Dota. I wonder what could be done to make the entry barrier of Dota lower without making the game stale.
The same thing could be said about Chess and Draughts/Checkers, it's 10 times easier to get into Draughts/Checkers, what should we do to chess to make the entry barrier lower? Nothing.Tshemmp wrote:

- In-game guides telling you how to play a hero, which skills to level at which level, and what items to get at certain points in the game.
- An in-depth tutorial teaching you everything you need to know
- A coaching feature. Making it possible for seasoned players to teach their new friends how to play by giving them private in-game chat, the ability to point out stuff in the UI and making it possible to scribble things on the map and minimap.
- A limited hero pool mode, so that new people do not get overwhelmed by the 100+ heroes that all play and look differently. Shielding the new players of thinking that they have to learn all those heroes by heart just to be able to play the game.
If anything, they went the extra mile and beyond to make this game new-player friendly. I now find it possible to recommend this game to friends without them going to drown in it.
