Visage was a real terror before they nerfed his level 6/rank 1 bird damage, because you could struggle in lane somewhat then hit 6 and just murder like 80% of all heroes in the game. You have to hit a threshold where your damage is just Too Much and people can't stand and fight you. If you just do A Lot Of Damage but they can ever still turn and fight you, you're just real fragile. the nerfs mean you don't hit that threshold until like rank 2 bird damage or if you're behind, or they have lots of armor, don't hit it at all. god forbid they have easy ways to chew through gravekeeper or just kill bird like bristle or dusa or drow or w/e that's my experience anyway. the timing is too narrow and your pre-6 laning is just too bad to let you be a 3, and you're just Too Baby to be a 1 imo idk, I played a lot of visage before like picking him every game I got mid, but him having a high win rate but extremely low pick rate makes sense because every once and awhile they have like... rubick CM supports and like ember mid, and you're able to shred people again thats my visage thoughts, i love too pick the bound form of necro'lic

Normally EE is wrong about everything but this is an opinion I hear all the time. High-level dota has all these loving weirdos like Mursglacias/Rodeo/Mio that have text documents full of players that they'll throw the game if they're on the same team, every time. But, dota's punishment system is all automated and hosed and none of them ever get punished, so it's not like League where that poo poo doesn't fly. I especially expect guys like EE are on a LOT of people's shitlists. All the high-rated NA guys sit in each others streams, not to try and streamsnipe, but to get in a game with someone they know isn't going to just go apeshit and throw the game, because it's super common. It's not because the person thinks they know better than everyone else that a game is over or not, it's because even if someone is just running it down the midlane the game is still gonna take 30 mins to finish, and man running it down mid only gets more and more common the higher you climb

I wonder how it would effect stat tracking and account boosting. Those alone aren't good enough reason to not do it, but I'm wondering if it would cause a bunch of smaller issues. Would a "4 must vote to forfeit" be good enough, or would you have to go all the way down to three to address the issue?

Don’t buy envy’s stupid premise. There are fifty factors more important than lack of concede that are “killing the scene” And anyway in high tier games you are much more likely to get your team to agree to sit in fountain and the other team will actually push and end, which is a novelty unknown to anything below like immortal 500 He didn’t even get a sycophantic reddit repost out of this. Just ignore it

Can't you like already press the button to avoid certain players? I know it's not perfect but it's at least something.

So, it doesn't matter if one guy refuses Sampatrick posted:Can't you like already press the button to avoid certain players? I know it's not perfect but it's at least something. RisqueBarber posted:bring back the battle net ban list Yeah the fact that the avoid player poo poo was added lets you know that this is an actual problem Valve know about. It's not "ruining the scene" or whatever but to act like there isn't a huge amount of pro players/top1000 players who want a concede option, and that this is not only originally envy's idea but also he's the only advocate is just disingenuous. e: my own take is that a concede option would only work if you also did some sort of community moderation. League's system works because the game expects you to keep playing if the team votes not to end the game, and they moderate the game really heavily, so if someone throws after a failed concede vote they're gonna get punished for sure. Dota has barely any punishments, as evidenced by the fact it took Rawdota years of constantly account boosting and abusing the turbo behavior score system to finally get banned and he just makes a new account anyways. So now you've got a new problem where you can escape a game with one guy who is already feeding, but now you're gonna be at the gunpoint of a guy who says "concede or I feed" RazzleDazzleHour fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Jul 30, 2019 |

You could equally say the fact that it's the avoid player list and not concede lets you know that there are huge problems with concede such that Valve doesn't want to implement it (The avoid player list was added at least as much because people on reddit constantly complained of getting matched with people they just reported)

there's no denying that One of the anecdotes at Summit was that Azrael (I think) had returned to high level NA pubs. He never speaks or types and plays three heroes in mid only. And the reaction to this was not "oh yeah, I'm going to immediately avoid list him" because he's less insufferable than many others emdash fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Jul 30, 2019 |

Isn't the avoid list really short and when full it just overwrites FIFO? I'm sure that's what someone was complaining about.

https://www.rivalry.com/esports/money-alone-wont-fix-the-tier-2-dota-scene Interesting piece from Reinessa. Lack of consistent money going to T2 teams is the symptom, but the disease is DPC scheduling and qualifiers, not a lack of money.

NIP play major qualifiers for four days, lose, then immediately have to play minor qualifiers for four days. They get to the minor, play for a full week, win, and then qualify for the major which they have to fly to the next day. Happened to them twice. This has all been talked about a ton this season. Hell, I even posted about the structure already existing for automated weekly tournaments in the Battle Cup just a few weeks ago when the DPC issues last came up

If you directly link some sort of weekly league to TI points people will be motivated to play it.
