Can't think of a Dota throw as hard as Midas Mode getting mad at teams using random too much.

It was producing highly entertaining matches that people enjoyed seeing. Why are you tryharding a charity tournament.

It's still producing highly entertaining matches people enjoy seeing though.

Teams allrandoming was getting a little old.

I think the issue was more that the all randoming was going to lead to the teams being able to just play straight captains mode in more important rounds co lately negating the point of the tournament

the most important thing was that nahaz created an incentive system and then was blown away that teams took advantage of it

I can't believe I'm about to sort of defend Nahaz but I think the teams agreeing to play for charity really destroyed the balance of the system.
Or they just didn't accurately predict how much the players care about winning a small prize pool tournament that doesn't count towards TI.

what was funny is that before the the changes to bounty values and randoming rewards liquid was rolling around in cash by just randoming most of their picks and winning. nahaz developed an economic model where the rich get richer.

when economists start saying anything about incentives and behaviour, it's always time to stop listening.
