That's the new SF. Cyborgmatt posted a list of work on next Heroes, and the one that was the closest to being done was Oracle.

That's the same SF we have right now. Cyborgmatt didn't have anything on Ember or Earth spirit when both were released, he had been predicting LC for months up until the patch day.

I think this encapsulates the spirit of what Dota is perfectly and wanted to share it with you all.

So what is the difference between ranked and unranked matches now? Since the previously unranked matches used hidden MMR, have they gone to totally randomizing the unranked matches to the point that it's completely random? Or are they still using the previously hidden (which should in theory be equal to the actual real MMR) MMR to assign players?

You have 4 MMRs, as was explained in the dota2.com blog post, The bad thing is that they removed completely solo q, so you have to deal with the inevitable 4 stack once in a while when playing solo.
The idea behind unranked is that you can fuck around in it, so it's more loose and ranked is for the tryhard play, so you have 10 matches to calibrate it with unranked MMR as the starting point and then you go from there. The nice thing is that you have MMR for trying new heroes and stuff and then another one for going full EE-sama

But in reality ranked is just the new thing to que up for, people still fuck around and try new heroes or just have no fucking clue as to what they are doing, I wish ranked brought out the try hard in everyone.
The way I've seen and experienced it is that ranked is just like unranked was before whereas unranked is just a giant amalgation of all the cesspool peruvians.
And where is that blog post? And that's the problem I am encountering; namely, lots of duos and groups queing up and you're at a huge disadvantage to begin with. A roaming alchemist and ogre magi on voice chat playing together is going to rape and gank train most games in evently matched "ranked" games. Also the loss of random and single draft ruins it for me. I hate All pick and there's nothing worse than wasting 10-15 min of my life while some jerkface picks/bans heros.

Matchmaking | Dota 2
Might just be your ranking or try different server, I always wonder why I have so many retards in my game and then I remember that I forgot to uncheck US east after playing with people from here. Captain's draft takes like 3min on each side, give it a shot.
Enchantress might be my next hero I really want to learn, so many things you can do and she can snowball pretty hard if you just rush Midas->Threads->Agh and many people don't ward obvious ganking paths, only runes, so you can often get first blood and completely destroy their short lane. The biggest problem is to keep track of all the things in a fight, micro creeps, hit your abilities and use items.

I was on a pretty good streak for a while, not always winning, but at least having fair games. But man, the last few games I've played, my team has been buttfucked from minute one. Literally getting rushed and successfully killed AT TOWERS in the first few minutes and shit like that. Think my rating has went from 31xx to 3040 or something. It's as if we're complete newbies playing against professionals. I guess that's to be expected on occasion, but rather disheartening when it happens several games in a row.

I just went through that. Started off around 2750 worked up to almost 2900 then fell to 2600. I understand losing streaks but im playing with people who say wr is worst hero ever or 3 people who build vlads and say they built it for themselves. I know im not all that great at this game but I cant help but feel like ive been getting stuck w more then my fair share of idiots. I think maybe I should take a break from ranked games or minimally from playing by myself
