    Was just about to get back to 50% then valve is like LOL have a 2 teams who are all Russian, and then lets tune you into a server in fucking Mumbai where a bunch of dudes will feed whilst shouting at each other on voice chat sounding like a rowdy call center (the tiny game). Anyone else experiencing this quality of matches recently?

    Chris.

      Yes. It sucks.

                  Get it all the time they usually end up feeding, flaming and then reporting me because they die. Not sure wtf is going on with matchmaking sometimes really.

                    what term of feeding you guys talk about??? it a person kill 0 then death aroudn 10 and his assist is 15 - 20... he is not a feeder right? at least he help his team with the assist he gave?

                    picture this if he dont have assist how in the first place the hunter get kill ? that why got assist right?

                    this is my opinion la huhu dont mad... im just a noob :D

                    Relentless

                      In my opinion, which is of course the only one that counts (right?)...

                      Feeding is not really about KDA score its about decision making. I have seen plenty of games where there was a carry who was 9-2-4 who single handedly lost the game by diving to the fountain to try to get that last kill and feeding at the end of the game. Then they all push mid and throne it...we lose. Meanwhile some hard support might have played a great game and end up 0-5-15 having never made a feeder decision. They just died in teamfights because they are an easy target with less farm.

                      Most people just mean that they have a higher KDA than you, when they say you were feeding. And dumber still, many only consider Kill-death...and try to KS as much as possible so they don't look as bad on that worthless stat.

                      However, in general, if your KDA is less than 2 you probably made some feeder decisions to get there or at least controlled your hero very badly. So your hypothetical 0-10-15 player has almost certainly died 5 more times than he should have.

                          Sam M, you seem to be a good player judging by your winrate on specific heroes and kda. So dont worry, matchmaking wants to lose you as it allows newbs to win more often, and good players lose more often.

                            For example this game...its All Random so people are on heroes they don't know. Our Necro and Enigma fed like crazy early...Puck was very good but it didn't matter.

                            I ended up 1-11-7 on Kotl (less than 1 KDA!) my win rate on kotl is 65% and my average score for 20 games is 2.10 KDA. Compare that to the world average for KotL of 51.8% win and 2.12 KDA. Really I am above average on Kotl...but

                            While my team did play badly and the game was a massacre from Random picks, still I should not have died 11 times. Specifically I had about 4 extra deaths from failure to hit my blinding lights correctly when TA and storm jumped on me. And probably 3 more extra deaths from not backing up soon enough when I saw slardar charging to dive a tower. So its feed by bad play.

                            Even a support hero should be able to get close to 2 KDA if played correctly in a losing game and over 3 KDA in a winning game. 1-4-7 would have been solid play on Kotl in this crushing loss.

                              @lie to me agen fagt: That's the only positive thing anyone has said to me ever in relation to Dota haha.

                              @ReflectionS: Noob is not the correct word as I have played Dota 2 for a year and its predecessor for about the same time previous to the release of this.
