How did you get those ratings?

they used Dotabuff which was taken down by valve today loooooooooool

DBR: 400 and proud

why valve

WHYYYYYYYYY

It's quite simple, and DotAbuff had it coming for a while:

Valve have a public service that allows programmers to retrieve match data from DotA 2. It's a little unreliable, and it's kinda buggy at times, but it mostly works.
DotAbuff decided that they didn't want to use that method, and instead chose to do a legally-questionable method of fooling the Valve servers into thinking that the DotAbuff site was in fact a player. They then retrieved data that way. They did constantly update Valve as to what they were doing, and were told that they'd be allowed to do this as long as they didn't publish their data collection bot.

Now that DotAbuff are making their own ranking system, Valve decided that they'd taken their privilege too far, and disabled their bot. Fair enough really, because they're a third-party that are abusing a security bug in the DotA servers. DotAbuff feel like they've been betrayed, as they were told they were allowed to use this bug, which is also fair enough. DotAbuff have now been brought down from their exalted status (being the only people allowed to exploit a security bug like that _ever_) to the status of all the other developers who, like good people, use the public service that Valve has provided. Granted, it's not perfect, and it's a work in progress, and DotAbuff are pissed about that.

But the buff guys (see what I did there ) need to realise that it was always going to happen, and it's better that it happened now than later.

their "communication" with valve was limited to one insignificant customer support member.

Which makes their "attack" on Valve for their choice seem even more childish and baseless.

The only bad thing about playing with friends is that if they fail horribly their friendship is at risk. DotA, breaking friendships since forever.-

Nah i'm just joking, although sometimes I really get mad at some of my really old friends that don't play dota as much and tend to fail worse than the people at "fails of the week".

SEA's worse. trashtalkers everywhere.
noobs and skilled players alike.

I have to say that South American servers might be the worst server for non-brazilian south americans, mostly because it's located in brazil, the only portuguese speaking country in all South American, because of this they think the server belongs to them, and they think non-portuguese players should not use it, even though most of South America speaks spanish. Also it's full of low level players, trashtalkers, trolls. And most of the Brs that play there, they either don't speak english at all, or just don't want to, either way, most of us can't even stand them because of this.

Oh and I forgot to mention the so tipical response that brazilian have when they realise you are from Argentina: "Pele es melhor que Maradona"...

I got 400 Lag on South America and 150 in EE.UU, I don't know why, but it's better for me

Speedy probably, I've got Fibertel and get about 30-50ms on South America. Some friends experience the same lag on South American servers, although the server is way closer than US East. (300 on South America, 150-200 on US East). Most of them have Speedy, so I guess it should be it.

Still got about 7 Dota 2 invites if anyone wants one just ask via pm i dont really mind giving them away and of course they are for free

Just queue on EU West, it's a big difference from EU East. You do get russians, but honestly they aren't all THAT bad. I play on US West/East and EU West a lot, and there's an equal amount of retards on the US servers, the only difference is that when they talk you can understand what they are saying. That said, whenever i solo queue i only play on EU west.

I am dude, I am
There's EU West, EU East & Russia :

Where do they play?

EU West and trust me, they ain't any better ;(





PS : What I also noticed is that I found out that DOTA 2 players have the unfunniest and worst trolls ever, they crack the worst jokes and type "hahaha/xa0xa0xaxa0/lol HA" at every shit they say which mostly don't even make sense

DD vs Gamers University (The Defense 3)

holy shit

'cuz 1 rampage is not enough.

the high tier in aus servers is the best higher tier anywhere. though, normal is pretty bad, because essentially, if you fuck up, you get flamed to no end, and if you do well, you get praised to no end. also, no russians
