The "pro" player Eido made a ranking today, for Phantom and Eternus.

I don´t like how the meta shapes up. Might be a bit biased since Bebop didn´t get anything cool.

I climbed to oracle II and I'm getting some of the worst matchmaking I've ever had in this game. People arguing 5min in due to a death where they start throwing afterwards, people with 500+hrs but the game-sense of a ritualist I, and your team just fights 24/7 despite losing the last 4 teamfights. I swear the worst DOTA teams I've ever had have are arguably better then these people.

Between this and the meta its time to take a break for like 3-4 days and try again later I guess

Oracle and low phantom is the hell queue, before the latest rank rebalance i was hard stuck oracle 5 and it was the most miserable experience i've had with the game. Every game had a combination of griefers, cheaters and worst of all: russians.

God bless the last rank redistribution throwing me in mid phantom and letting me climb a bit to phantom 6, there are still cheaters and russians but people usually try to play it out and work together. I do keep getting thrown into high asc lobbies which is annoying since its only sweaty players but if thats the price im glad to pay it.

I… don’t know where to even find my rank.

Also, is every Haze player a mongoloid? Yesterday I had one that literally acted retarded on mic the whole game calling everyone all sorts of reddit insults and today had one have the audacity to talk shit about me when he left me in mid to fight Bebop and Seven by myself for most of the laning phase as McGinnis. Were my t-0 turrets, 2 stamina, and wall supposed deal with anything?

I find this surprising. I take long breaks from the game, and when I came back January I was in Arcanist and I just now got to Phantom. Phantom and Oracle were so much better than those low ranks, you had tons of people that had no clue what was happening and would throw the game for no reason. At least now in high Oracle/low Phantom people don't throw randomly and games are over before the 40 minute mark.

You gotta go to the settings and check the "show my skill rating" checkbox, then in your profile there will be a tab with your skill rating.

I think Haze was engineered to cater to the most annoying intersection of players ever: Carry players and aimlets from cs, so the kind of person to mostly play haze are the kind of player to think they are the pillar of the team but also the mental fortitude of a toddler.

I think the main difference is that yes, people in oracle and phantom are good enough to play the game properly, but they also are way more prone to just not buying counters and trying to help the team. But that might be just an EU issue, idk where you are from.
 
What exactly is in deadlock's match making code to specifically rig matches against me? Like all this week I have had matches with teams made of hard counters to what ever I am playing, and usually a few shitters on my end that go 0-10 in the first few minutes.
 
After watching DNS tonight I think I'm just gonna run spirit Mcginnis until she gets nerfed. I want to experience this power just once.

They always rig it against me but when I do good there's always someone better than me to steal my well-earned MVP. This game is out to get me, that I am convinced about. Fucken' Valve. But damn, it's addictive

Guys... This is super serious :mad: This player was violently verbally raped in a videogame (worse than 50 million holocausts). The game will INEVITABLY die and Valve will go brankrupt unless we implement facial and ID verification into the game to stop people from genociding minorities by saying slurs.

That aside, something is bothering me about this post...

Grok, enhance!

Every. Fucking. Time.
 
I love when the redditors warn about Deadlock developing a toxic community like Counter Strike or Dota as if those aren't the two most consistently popular games on Steam
 
Every time I read "as a women" online, I always know, and it was no different with that post.

Somewhat related, but I really dislike the advice to just play with VC muted as a lot of players suggest. It feels so bad to be the only one on the team making calls and handling the entire team macro and knowing that the 5 other people on your team might just have VC set to 0%. And while you can use the chat wheel to somewhat get around this, it really isn't enough to communicate more complex ideas like baiting mid or early lane swaps/ganks.

I looked in there once and it was just gay porn drawings of characters in the game, I hope Valve does not consider them to be important or listen to them for a single second about anything.

This might be an NA thing because every time a woman used VC in my matches nobody cared at all, also any slurs such as nigger also fall on deaf ears since the ones saying that are eastern europeans or chinese, and suffice to say that their usage of the word has 0 meaning considering the pigsty they call home.
 
At this point I'm just sick of matches where one person on the team feeds like crazy in the first 5 minutes solely because they're approaching the game like it was TF2 and/or don't know the danger ranges for particular heroes. Feels even worse than Dota did. I can't do shit if you're going to dive through my talon trap at 2m in to get chainstunned on the other side by the dynamo/haze combo that I'm trying to keep zoned so they can't do that combo. Enjoy an 85 damage powershot I guess? I have 3 boons, <2k net worth and I'm Helping!

If it happens once in a match it doesn't bother me that much, but they just do it again and again.
