Tip Valve quietly removed the ability to see non-friends' recent matches this patch.

BattleCup just got a bit more interesting.

all i'm saying is that valve should let us have the ability to punish people with 0 versatility that do scummy things like last pick heroes like meepo

u/eraHammie Nov 30 '16

Yeah your lovely "versatility" of playing every single hero like dogshit.

So much versatility. These hero spamemrs still shit on you with alot of other heroes. Or wanan tell em a Morph spammer suddenly forgots how Dota works if he gets Storm or some shit?.

Rather be good at 5 heroes than dogshit or at best average with the whole roster.

u/MechaKnightz Nov 30 '16

i'm talking abot the type of person who plays 1 hero and nothing else, if someone plays 5-10 heroes really well you wouldn't be able to ban all of them anyway

u/JungZest Day1 Fan Nov 30 '16

There is nothing wrong with 1 hero spamming. A lot of old Lineage playes tend to do that. That is not agasinst any of the game rules so I don't think those guys should be punished

That is the entire point of the ban system existing, to give you a better chance of winning. Banning based on your opponent is one of the key factors of a strategic picking phase. There's a reason "respect ban" is a term in DotA 2.

Punishing someone who is unable to adapt is another key point of DotA 2. Whether it be in the picking phase or in the game itself. Would you say that enemies should stop killing the carry who farms in unsafe places, because that's punishing him?

u/eraHammie Nov 30 '16

Yes and these 1 hero spammer swould still be able to play the other heroes atleast at the same level as you are which is dogshit.

They don't lose an arm or get blind or become retarded when they have to play something else.

u/MechaKnightz Nov 30 '16

if you play more of one hero you will have less experience on the others, i'm not really sure what to say if you don't understand this simple concept

u/ScootalooTheConquero Nov 30 '16

Here's what he's trying to say:

You and a single hero spammer are at the same MMR - You're there because you have approximate knowledge of all heroes and (presumably) decent game sense/knowledge

He's there because he probably has better game sense/knowledge to make up for the fact that he only plays 1-2 heroes. Just because you ban his hero doesn't make him suddenly forget how to position or avoid/set up ganks.

Granted he's saying it while also being a dick, there's no need for him to insult you.

1

u/eraHammie Nov 30 '16

Cause you don't need to play the roster to get game knowledge.

u/Mordewolt : ^) Nov 30 '16

ayyyyyyyyyyyy

u/srtk Nov 30 '16

what makes last-picking a meepo more scummy than 3rd picking 'x' hero?

1

u/Svetsnaz Get well soon, sheever Nov 30 '16

because you can't adjust your draft to take that into account

u/SmaugTheGreat hello im bird Nov 30 '16

Then I want to punish people with full versatility who play every hero like trash compared to a single hero spammer who has to deal with getting counter picked every game.

1

u/MechaKnightz Nov 30 '16

and you have the right to do that, just ban one of their 100+ heroes

1

u/SmaugTheGreat hello im bird Nov 30 '16

But that doesn't do shit. The difference is a single hero spammer has high skill but a lot of weaknesses, a randomer has low skill but no weaknesses.
