Nice post Alkhemia.

I'm shocked that Racist Commander has no horse. Also, this is what Elder Titan (Tauren Chieftan)'s ult looks like:

It's also probably incomplete, because it's supposed to swallow up the enemy heroes inside it.

Yay, I knew I was getting better.
After checking, I moved up into the high skill bracket exactly 7 days ago.

Now, sadly this means that people are beginning to bitch at me for sucking. And I kind of do (especially anyone with microing required), but I also somehow win the majority of my matches.

The fact that I both kind of suck, and am in the top ~17% (which is apparently about how large high+very high are) of all players rather puzzles me.

Sorry for the ignorance but is it even posible to check the %skill bracket?

[lemon10]

Its not possible directly, but after searching for it and finding this blog post it appears that you can do some mass looking through the game API logs or something (basically what dotabuff does, but with a more specific focus) to guesstimate the size.
If you are curious, his methodology (but on a older post) is here.

[umiman]

It seems consistent with what dotabuff said it was too.

While I like that dotabuff's evil publicly viewable elo is gone. I miss the private rating. I'd like to know my standing now that I reached 57% winrate.

Trouble with the profiles and such tends to be

WINRATE OVER 50% : "My profile shows everyone just how pro I am and always have been."

WINRATE UNDER 50% : "My profile is private, mind your own business. Game - perv."

[umiman]

Your opinion is irrelevant bronze scum! Get back to licking my shoes clean!

[ranter]

I just had an all random where our team got naga, magnus, spectre, death prophet and witch doctor (me). You wouldn't believe how much damage can do a 5 man malediction after rp combined with some aoe skills.

Also, with the enemy undying, broodmother and chaos knight, the screen was a complete clusterfuck after each RP. An ES would have "Nuclear launch detected" that game.

[Kagus]

Oh lord, that sounds hysterical.  I generally don't use spiderlings at all as Broodmother, just focus on webs and that rockin' attack mod of hers.  She can get to be pretty nasty just on her own, and I don't like the idea of feeding spiderling gold to stomps or cleave or...  Well, pretty much anything.

Just had a single draft.  Went into it thinking "Okay, let's just see what cretins are lined up for me this ti-...

"Why...  Hello there.  It's been a long time, Ursa."


Nice to finally have a win after the losing streak I've been in.  Also, Tiny + Ursa = Love.

We had kind of a nasty lineup, really.  Venomancer, Zeus, Tiny, Ursa and Lina.  That's a lot of rough love to be sending the other team's way.  They had some nice picks too, all in all, but still...  Zeus wound up absolutely murdering everyone and everything.  As is only fitting, I suppose.

[Putnam]

Aha, just played a 57 minute game as Chaos Knight. Damn that was intense. About 48 minutes in, I was lagging the hell out; I managed to, in one of my 10 second moments of control, use my ultimate to prevent losing the game and begin a counterpush on mid. Once that was handled, I started pushing on bot, which ended up winning the game. Surprising, since a good ~60% of the game was spent with them in a huge position of advantage. It was pretty damn close for everyone on my team (except me >_>) having only played five or less matches.

Also, damn chaos knight does damage. Holy crap.

[ranter]

Try refresher+manta ck. The ultimate sieging power in your hands. Add a SD for extra fun.

Bt the way, sample of one of the clusterfucks of the match

Haha, I know I definitely thought about it.

[ukulele]

Can ck even aford to refresher without a shivas or something like that?
