Yesterday my friend accidently put into CM mode and we got like a 2+1+2 team.
My friend start out with lycan 1st ban and the rest like why da fuk 1st ban lycan etc.
First of all, I would like to say is don't too follow what others do. Lycan is still lycan after level 5 or 7 or after that vlad/medallion. I see a lot of players watch too much high level games and tend to follow them too much and you somehow lost your style other than doing what others do.
Then they come out with nerf reason. You can pull 3 camp in dire to lane, 01/02 sec, 15sec and 20 sec one, and I believe all hero can farm just by pulling camp in dire. Jungling is just harder but still do-able. Then they say pulling is for for support to get level, really, that only reason? Can't I pull for my lycan to get early medalion without destroying my laning hero's farm?
Then they say good team can counter lycan. If you don't feel like following other's playstyle or their game, I can say it's a very good reason to ban certain heroes so you don't need to follow their rhythm.
Eventually they left the game because they can't accept that lycan first ban. I believe a lot competitive players will always say trust the drafter, after you lose then only blame him but not before or during the game.
It's a bit sad that with DOTA 2 development, yes it much better but it also transform the game on how players tends to play now especially you can easily spectate pro level game but sometimes people just misunderstood the idea behind why some players do this. This is what I call playing without brain.
Lol,
i don't suggest to play CM mode if you don't have 5, it really useless. Even pro players wont play cm if dont have 5 party.
FOR MM ranking,
mostly is based on win rate, winning streak, performance on each game. is not really depends on how many game to you had played. I guess is new account with 10 streak win or so can straight into very high lvl bracket.
my WR% is around 51 - 52, if i lose like 3 - 4 match in a row will get high lvl game, if win more than 2 or so it will go back to very high level game.
