we all agree on that
sadly volvo and the noobs and whining bitches (oh hecalled me noob) dont want it
diamond trash, challenger only
nah but legit, no rating system is fucking balls, and if you look at all the changes valve has made over the past year or so, they've just been taking massive steps backwards..Either directly with fucking up DBR, making players profiles private, etc, or their big patches which is 90% cosmetics, overhauling the cosmetic system, stupid shit like the mute system which is automatic, and more noob friendly stuff (which isn't bad, just you would expect something like a rating system as well) like the coaching system.
player ratings are an e-peen boost for many, but I reckon it just takes the competitive side of the game (from a pub perspective) to a whole new level
"every game you play feels like a pub game"
A: guys lets pub
B: k
A: this game feels like pub
B: wat
leagues, a point system, more heroes, balance, less pooling etc.. anything besides diretide & hats.
@Darkness
that is pretty much what happen lol
If dota 2 want to go toe to toe with League, then i guess having ranked match is would be a good start
"HON stats rating was actually pretty good"
Nope, it only make the community more toxic. I have experienced for 2 years, It's like a rat race, everybody want to get the best MMR or best KDA, i feel the real purpose of the game itself is gone, MMR MMR MMR is all they think. Most people are so mad when their KDA or MMR is ruined by his teammate's mistake and their flaming is usually even worse than on Dota.
Many people complain how they are stuck at (for example) 1500 MMR because of their noob teammates but in fact sometimes they are part of those noob teammates, This situation is really similar to Dota.
Now, i only play Midwar and riftwar on HON.
HoN MMR was more often accurate than not. Certainly better than the complete lack of rating.
True yet not true. I've played immense amounts of HoN and the rating system is complete trash. The problem is that once you get low enough rating, you can not acsend any. Once you get under 1400 mmr the players start to become braindead, retarded, flamming, untactical, trashtalking, carrypicking and generally awful scrubs.
The problem with public rankings and stats is..
Well have you played hon?
2 allies argue over stats and PSR (rating). One is over 23 points higher than the other. The other has .5 KDR.
So it's debate TIME on VoIP on who should buy wards.
Then they bring whole team into it. Usually the one that loses throw the game anyways, LOL. So much for public ratings, stupid people will abuse it for whatever reason. like, "I'm not gonna let this 1400 psr" play carry! or Forcing the lowest rating to play SUPPORT only or RAGE!!!!
etc...
Honestly I'm like that in a way too. I will never let anybody lower skilled play carry or more correctly I should never have to play support role to someone who is inferior to me in skills.
We all seen that faceless void who throws ults over allies or uses MoM in 5v1 situations.
+1 for private ratings so we know where we are without getting cheesed when we see lower rated players on team picking a carry like in HoN

Lets be honest here i think that Valve need to put players rating into consideration or at least ranked match ?
Because every game you play feels like a pub game, you cant tell whether you progress or not.
In league of legend players have a goal which is getting to diamond league and get most heroes. And the part that makes it fun is getting up there and it can be addictive, but in dota 2 you have no goal whatsoever in the game. Every game feels like a pub match.
Player rating its not a e-peen boost, simply it gives players a goal to reach for and calculation on where to get better.
HON stats rating was actually pretty good. and LoL ranked rating is pretty good also.. and i think valve need to combine the best part about those 2 games.
