General DiscussionLow Priority games now have to be won in order to count.

what? thts bad

Damnnn LPQ games will be tryhard as hell now :D

It's a good punish tho for retarded players :D

I laughed so hard at that announcement.

reported 3 autists today, got more reports to use. FeelsGoodMan

at first I was pissed then I realized that I can flame people and then still get to enjoy my LPQ games because I wont have people afk in the jungle. Well played Gaben

I will make a low priority account to troll all day all night

Low Priority games now have to be won in order to count.

I'm gonna quit DOTA 2 the moment I get back into LP.

good change ahaha

Oh yeah.

Sending feeders to LP hell will be so much more satisfying now.

this is great change, i love it, i can finally play tryhard games in pub

now we only need ranked lpq

I mean, it's not a big deal, it takes less games (probably half as many) to get out of them now, you just have to win.

valve is legit retarded

too bad no one stacks to farm winrate there anymore if not they wud be the Gatekeepers of LP

"ghuys hey pls let us win we only need 1 win more pls ok? cyka"

"Everyone is getting undeserved LPQs and our report system is worse than our servers, let's make LPQ impossible to get out of." -Gaben

hopefully some pro player will get into lp and lose x games in a row wihle streaming so valve will see how retarded they are

im sure they will just clear it in 3 games while reddit trash will make crying threads after being stuck in lpp after 10 games

the thing is that usually u play w/ 1k mmr retards as a 5-6k boss vs more 1k retards.. lpq doesnt care about ur mmr at all, should be easy game for us higher mmrs and pretty much luck based for lower mmrs.
i'll just go and feed if i dont get a half decent hero.

Sounds pretty awful. I got one for disconnecting due to router issues last night and we won but I was just fucking around. Will suck to have to win.

Literally the best change ever. What a genius move! FINALLY lp will work.

Before idiots would argue " play bad get LP " --> "keep playing bad get out"

Okay, so DotA 2 is uninstalled now.

Glad you uninstalled, get the sludge out of DOTA 2

this only legit move volvo did in months

best change to lp since it came out

i think it's good

now i can still have fun playing lp

I cant believe some of you guys stuck in low prio all the time, you guys must be on some toxic levels its insane. Ive been in low prio like 3 times in 3 years and it was because of rage quits. I shout like a french nazi all the time with my mic and i never get reported. Maybe because i amuse them.

Why do people always assume people are in lpq because of reports? I simply instabandon when I see some really stupid shit in the match, or when somebody starts intentionally feeding for no reason, or when we're getting leveraged 20-0 in first 10 minutes and the fuckers aren't even pushing, etc. You see a lot of this crap at low levels and those games are unplayable, I consciously get into lpq because I can't bear to watch the crap happening.

^ Then git gud and carry them.

It's funny that people think reports put people in low priority

^ Then git gud and carry them."

I can, but do not want to spam solo win heroes every fucking game. And sometimes I'm a solo support and there's nothing I can really do. I do not play ranked nor do I really care about most stats, I just want to play the game in whatever role I'm happy to be in, and sometimes games are so fucking shit I just straight abandon them. Obviously, if you go tryhard mode and spam TA, Slark and SF, things are going to be much different for you.

^ You see i dont spam OP heroes, i just last pick, thats how you carry your team. Counter pick > OP heroes. Im not even good at the game really.

trash players being put where they belong, volvo is doing gods work

YES THANK YOU VOLVO FOR GRANTING ME THREE MORE REPORTS AND PUTTING THOSE THREE TARDS THAT I REPORTED IN THEIR PLACE!

Normal skill ^

If they did end up in LP, they will get better games than you by being there!! Because they'll have the chance to play with 5k+ players while you'll be stuck in your trash trench tier.

My friend that i know very well is "KINDEST FUCKING PERSON ON EARTH" got to low prio, just bcoz stack he played with didnt like him...
Probably switching to HOTS now for some time

As soon as Volvo sees the bills from MTX they will suck their cocks begging to come back :S

i have 2766 matches and i've never been in low prio
am i the only one?

it's actually a nice way to keep acc buyers out of the game.

i wonder how badly unranked games are going to suffer due to smurfing and alt accounting now if dota2 has same old smurf detecton

anyone know how to dodge? i heard of people going with balancing 10 people in lobby and queueing in these teams on sa or some shit but where do i find these people

It's a good change on its own but a bad change in the grand scheme of things because Valve listened to the karma whoring subhuman Reddit turds instead of prioritizing other things, such as new hero or fixing the stillborn client.

lol Benao l Smurf Who cares i'm in normal skill. I'm a new player lmao and managed to calibrate at 3k. Unranked games are high skill. I'm satisfied with that. U can get on your high horse somewhere else buddy

@Reese same here, 4k games never been one but yet i still lose countless of games due to becoming hard support

wait, what? smurf detection changed? how it works now?
