why does no one else complain about matches that are over in champ select?

or am I the only one who has to move mountains 1v5 just to have a chance at winning every game?

So I take it you have yet to run into that guys who flat-out announces that he will be trolling in champ select.

That's not what this conversation is about and you know that already.

If someone dodges in champion select, would you consider that as a game ending or a game never having started? If we consider a game having started during ban phase (strategic choices), a dodge could end a game in champions select.

On the contrary, I'd say most games are over in champion select and you just don't know it. Between unfair teams (one with all people in their best role and one with half), people who intentionally troll, people who unintentionally troll (select awful team comps) and people playing in tilt or arguing...

I'd say at least half of all solo queue games are over before the game starts, that's why it seems like so few games are hard fought and everything is a stomp.

No game was won in champ select.

so you're saying if you get matched 4 yearolds and your playing against tsm, asuming TSM are actualy trying to win, you think that game has a 50/50 chance to go either way? see the problem yet?

FHMarshyApr 1, 20152 votes

LMAO there is an MMR match making. Unless those 4 yearolds are playing at the same MMR as TSM, they won't get matched up.

Learn your facts before spazzing.

right, cause making a new account gives me the same mmr I had in my old one.....ohwait....

FHMarshyApr 1, 20151 votes

LMAO are you saying TSM people smurf as a full team and somehow got paired with you and a bunch of 4 yearolds?

Damn dude you are biased as fuck lmfao

Unless those 4-year-olds are as good as TSM, they will not be matched with them. See the problem yet?

Yea, if you "lose the game" in champ select, you are doing something very, very wrong.

I heard that would better describe Dota

Malix FarwinMar 31, 20151 votes

Well, if it is ranked usually someone dodges and if it is normals it is good practice i guess.

CarrierKestralMar 31, 20151 votes

it's ranked, if it were normalz I wouldnt complain cause victory doesnt earn you anything extra there.

Yea, the TSM example was a little extreme... well ok.. SUPER extreme.. But none of you have EVERY played game where you were just better than the other team? (or the reverse?). That's hard to believe.
