I'm going to reveal how bad I am but since the rank reset I have lost 10/10 of my last games. I feel as if I have no impact on the game. I can do 20k object damage and still have my team refuse to do anything. I can do 80k player damage and still lose because my mina is farming jungle.
I know I am the only constant but it feels broken.

Maybe try ticking the "Extra Competitive" option in the settings, it supposedly queues you with other players that have ticked the option as well.

"You prefer to play with others who are looking for higher levels of coordination, communication, and competitiveness".

I think it's in Settings > Social > Matchmaking.
 
It's funny that we finally have a moba with an actual 'make matchmaking less shitty' checkbox, but it doesn't really seem to work in my experience. Also on a loss streak and I'm really not sure how to deal with matches where our Holliday will not stop dying to (and then screaming about) McGinnis' turrets being overpowered, and/or matches where people just ignore chat entirely, e.g. me solo-pushing a lane and bailing ("mcg haze billy defending g" or similar in chat) only to have our paige and drifter zip in and die at 30 second intervals. Both of those were with that checked as well.

I just had a match where one player was on our team was better than the rest of us. I pleaded and begged my team to just follow around the best player. Just be around and ready to back up any play that player makes. It was like pulling teeth because "Muh farm" at 40 minutes.
 
I've come to accept that the MM will be dogshit until they get around to fixing it. But I don't get why they haven't added a surrender option yet. It's depressing having to play out a 30+ min game when you know there's no winning 10 minutes in.

I don't think a surrender option is needed. All surrender does is encourage people to tilt instead of playing for the comeback. I much prefer Dota's style of playing until the end. I do think that if a surrender added it should be only allowed if the game detects a comically high imbalance in scores. For example, if your team has 2 guardians taken while the enemy has 1 of your shrines, that likely is a surrender situation. But a 25 minute game where you lost a few team fights; I won't have some loser spamming surrender and then afking because he didn't win his vote.
 
I think Trophy Collector is probably my favorite item right now given how lenient the game is with what constitutes an 'assist'. The passive income adds up fast especially if you're a hero who has a reliable kill combo and gank early and often.

> if your team has 2 guardians taken while the enemy has 1 of your shrines, that likely is a surrender situation

One of the things I really like about this game is that you actually can come back from that. As a serial Bebop/Paige picker it's fairly easy to push down a walker solo if you can get 30 seconds uncontested once you've got your midgame items; or peck it to death with love bites procs from Mina even if there is someone contesting it as long as you're able to keep them at range. I'd say the surrenders should be if you teamwipe, the enemy has a 20K+ lead, and it's past 40 minutes. Alternately it should autoend if the entire team has DCed ala how it works in dota.

I was recently playing Paige and has the game disregard multiple assists, resulting in a loss. For example, hitting three enemies with my ult and then two of those enemies dying within 15 seconds not counting as an assist. It really hurts your SPM when it decides not to work. Otherwise it is a very fun item on "gankers" and "supports" who just want to brool.
 
Seems like the last patch might've fixed MM somewhat. Only played a handful of matches since it dropped but they've all been actual fun close games where people talk in chat and everyone has a decent KDR on both teams rather than shitfests where half the players are 0/11/3 and silent.

I think they're bugged on Paige specifically. I've had enemies run through dragon path and die a few seconds later and have it not counted.
 
How many troons/gender non-conforming twinks do you encounter while playing?

There are normal people, but it seems like there's at least one every two matches. They insist on using their mics, too, so every now and then I hear some lispy fag ask for help while they dive the mid walker 12 minutes in. I appreciate the fact that I can play with English speakers after playing with so many fucking peru niggers in Dota, but come on. They could at least take the cock out of their mouth before talking.

Have any of you had a similar experience?

There’s this paige i sometimes run into that larps as a stereotypical anime support with a really cringe falsetto.

Also pocket players.

I encounter a good amount, don't really mind them as long as they don't feed.

I joined the official Dickchord server so I could stay up to date on upcoming patches and updates and what-not, immediately get greeted by people discussing in general chat how the game made them realize they're trans/enby/whatever gender mental illness and how it makes them comfortable with being deranged pedo cultists. I quickly left.

What do you expect? Its a deadlock discord server.
 
I rarely encounter them in vc but whenever I see pronouns in their steam name I know it's gonna be bad. They always seem to either be Mina pickers or that one sort of Kelvin who just runs at people with beam and dies over and over.

Matches have gone back to being crapshoots so I'm just maining Bebop/Mcginnis and living solely to annoy. Duration extender + range extender + echo shard + tempo with Lv3 McG heal is pure evil and I love it.
 
I feel like I encounter a troon every 1+/5 games.
Anyway, any cool Geist builds you like right now? I wanna try her while she's strong lol
 
Why do they keep buffing Bebop and his sticky bomb? Yoshi is a psycho who pushes OP buffs multiple times during the holidays because he is lonely and decided to take it out on us.

I think a patch got pushed out only a few hours before the New Years countdown in Valve's timezone.
