So SEA is actually garbage compared to NA? I thought people were serious when they said 5k NA = 4k SEA
lel those were unranked games.
And uh to compare SEA with NA is pretty hard. At first I was a little hesitant to play because I had a theory that top SEA players had less MMR than they would at NA due to a smaller pool of people. So I thought about the possibility that my 5.7k at the time would be translated into something like a 5.5k. Well that wasn't true.
Anyway, there are a lot of marked differences between the two servers that I can think of from the top of my head and I hope 5k+ SEA players can kinda confirm some of them.
-NA players have a much higher tendency to throw games - dies mid twice = gg im done. Generally a lot nicer than NA people - dont rageping and flame me when I go like 0-3.
-SEA players try really hard to counterpick - a lot of times it comes down to a person from each team not picking, each surrendering 1 gold per second, waiting for the other to give in.
-SEA players at 4.5k+ are somewhat a little more solid than the equivalent in NA. I feel like theres a little less of a difference in skill between the rest of my team and the other team.
-below 4k in SEA is literally ELO hell. Everyone picks carries no one buys wards. I know from my unranked games and spectating friend's games
-Very few super high MMR players in SEA... If I queue against a 5.7+ in the last game, I'll very likely meet him again in the next game if he queues. Met paperchicken (6.2k) 3 times in a row.
Admittedly, I guess it was a little easier to climb here, but I was still on the rise on NA right before I left as well.
But all the claims that one server is SIGNIFICANTLY better (aka 5k NA = 4k SEA) than the other at the same MMR is absurd and biased as fuck.
Devilish congrats. Now i want to ask you, what's your opinion about Europe West server? Is it the most competitive one amongst all and are the chances of meeting there a verified player higher than anywhere else?
edit: Also i wanted to ask. If someone is in the leaderboards and chooses to play on another server will his position on the list adjust accordingly?
I havent played that many games in Eu West recently, but when I played, I was 5.5k. Games were filled with higher mmr ppl, but I did not notice a clear difference in terms of attitude or skill corresponding to the MMR.
we were both lagging both devilish and me, but I'm happy we won. And devilish you were correct sea players tends to counter pick more look at our support silencer + es what meepo can do. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/L7o4glO.jpg[/IMG]

You think the counterpick on SEA is bad?!?!?!??!
Look at EU.
@wave its not like EU where there are a ton of 5.5k+ players. This game had one of the biggest gaps.
And no I dont consider that I was countered hard that game. It was just that the BB was uncooperative and the lycan was just useless overall. Not putting all the blame on my team cus I also could have played a bit better.
Biggest bullshit i played against was this:
