I love that new feature, you go mid vs the enemy team's top MMR player, rek his fucking ass (you being the lowest MMR in your team) then go: ez katka, u got rekt by player with 1.5k MMR less than u scrub (assuming u're stacking with people with higher MMR than u)
@Efextoide He's playing in a bracket where people are much better at dealing with a earth spirit. You can take advantage of peoples inability to play coordinated vs an Earth spirit in 4-5k but once you start going higher opponents are smarter and more able to deal with you.
Like if I play against Axe I know how to beat him, higher up people play Earth more so know pretty well his weaknesses as well as his strengths and can avoid them.
this change is awful
the first game i played i get counterpicked cuz they see im the top mmr and the second game i played my pink player says idc what ur mmr is im going mid anwyays
Its possible to be the lowest MMR and still a better or even good player. I think in some games I have played in solo at odd times I have gotten smurfs or high ranked on tilt at about 5800 and so on so "technically" better by about 5-600 but they play consistently worse than I do even at the best of times.
Dunno I think it's helpful but it's basically giving people the ability to either target the highest player on the opposition or bully a decent player who you force into a role he may not be comfortable with simply because he's the lowest MMR on the team.
Anyways, murs why have you not put more effort into going pro :(
man quad mid strategies against me is real lately
np now i run secret jungle clockwerk carry so far 100% winrate
Doesn't matter for majority of people as the spread won't be that great unless you are intentionally stacking with someone way higher. My game was 3450 average, I was 3455, top mmr was 3550, we had one TBD an top mmr guy was stacked with someone 3350. Actual difference between all of us is negligible, really it's just are you in the middle of a win streak or loss streak. Plus the fact that most people at my mmr jump around a lot, I've peaked around 3800 and been as low as 2900. Most of it is due to hero choices (spammed troll and sniper to get that high, was playing a lot of heroes I'm not good with when I dropped).
on 1 point is kinda good cuz ur other 2 lanes get complete freefarm
on other point is kinda sad cuz u get shut down super hard but as long as team isnt full off russians thats still good thing
Basically it just gives a guy with 25+ MMR over everyone else the assumption that he has to go mid cause he's the highest!
Ez -25 http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1335220604
this shit is useless, my 5.9k guy goes offlane pa even tho i said he can go safelane....

was there any way of winning this game?
we were winning early to mid game then everything went down hill.
Its easy to know waht to expect coz you see average mmr of team. If highest guy has 6.1 and i have 6k and average is 5.4 i know other 3 are clowns.
Literally every game tonight is aids with everyone calling out the highest player to either take mid or if he loses his lane it's all eyes on him.
@1234 Yes at the moment.
murs was like 5850 and then he started tilting/losing a bunch of games kik
idc who the highest is, i go safelane if i'm on us servers and support on eu
it's actually easier to carry ret@rds if u pick something like slark/void and just pick people off after u farm ur 15 min core items (mom/shadow blade on void, aquila/bottle/sb on slark) instead of going mid with storm, where you will possibly be shut down in lane by something retarded like lina/qop + ganked before 6 since you are actually pretty vulnerable.

'In ranked matches, the average MMR of each team is now shown during hero selection, and the top MMR on each team is shown next to that player’s hero portrait.'
YES, NOW I CAN ALWAYS HAVE MID!!!!
