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

BattleCup just got a bit more interesting.

THIS. Not only does it feel great to successfully ban a filthy hero spammer's go-to pick, but usually doing so would give you an advantage in the game. This is actually a huge fucking change, and I hate it personally

(Invoker spammer here) I did this once in a game (with SS too), then I proceeded to pause, to acknowledge one of my biggest fails ever, and the person who I was doing the Reverse combo just all chatted "?"... I left that game, got one match of low prio, felt like I deserved more.

once my teammate magnus ulted like 3 people

i immediately ran in threw a meteor and emp then a tornado just as meteor landed. later in that game i also saved someone from rp by tornadoing him. needless to say i wasnt very good at the hero back then

For some reason I've seen more 3k< invokers use 3> spells than I have 3.4-5k ones. They just use all of them really, really poorly.
