    @Blunt
    - wat?

    you always say people can't speak English now you can't comprehend such a basic task (insults of Russian at Bogi comes to mind). Take a screen shot of it and upload it here, because everyone thinks/knows you're a scrub.

      You can just make your profile not private for like 5 minutes. You have already said your rating here at dotabuff so "invite spam" wouldn't get any bigger from that, you would just easily proof yourself and you wouldn't need to make excuses. You can even make yourself Offline for that time so people don't lurk your profile so intensively. I don't see my request being too much after giving quite hard proof against you. Easy way for you to clean your name.

      If we meet at pubs it doesn't mean that you would have 4,6k, like you said yourself I was against 3,6k once so it can happen again (or whatever your ranking is)

        reasons are, quite possibly, private.

          as i said, this thread is not about my mmr but about your experience....
          also as i posted...
          -> http://dotabuff.com/topics/2013-12-14-dat-invoker

          And:
          'Just screen dump your profile to prove it Blunt as not many people believe you'
          Is not a correct english sentence. You should start using commas and full stops so a tired person like me knows what the hell you want. thx.

              Most of them are good. I did really enjoy playing high level game where my ally and enemy all seems to have 400 MMR higher than me but at the same I don't like being carried by my teammate. 2 example would be my recent Medusa and Bristleback match.

              My most painful experience was witnessing a Beastmaster with 500 GPM decided to go Blink/Manta/Battlefury/Diffusal and called himself the "Anti-mage", I was Riki. It kinda made me so mad I had to called him out in all chat and lost my mind, which is rare as I'm usually very calm. If you want to watch that game even my opponents had to agreed with me BM just slammed the match to the ground.

              Overall, many of my games are high quality. At least that's how I feel.

                Then fair enough, I take it back, your score is decent. But I've always considered you decent at pubs but not that great at team games.

                And for the record I'm an English teacher and so I can assure you my sentence was grammatically correct, on the internet people tend to overdo punctuation.

                  I just do not see why it is called Solo rating if you can join with friends/team.

                    You didn't play with me for like half a year, i improved alot since then and im still improving, so it would make sense that i should be better than back then.

                      games are a lot more balanced, fun, have yet to see a non-english speaker...perfect doto best doto.

                      and 5-0 in ranked so far with fun experiences each game...:3 valve.

                        I have had the best games I've ever had in RMM....so many comebacks , less bitching...everyone tries their absolute best. I've been the one of the main causes of defeat n my 4 losses which shits me!

                        (14 wins 4 losses )

                          Ranked is infinitely better than unranked. There's a visible number that gets tracked, so it feels like people are actually trying to win. I've only played with 1-2 genuinely incompetent players (on either team) in my games. I'm currently 10-3, mostly dual queueing. It really feels like the skill balance of each team is a lot better. We've had some spectacular comebacks. All in all, I think this was the best update since I started playing a year ago.

                          Necrospunk

                            I'm still in my qualification matches, so far won every single one of them. Can't wait to see where the system places me. The first games were pretty weird but I can definitely see myself climbing up a bit as I win. The 1 hour PA game where the team actively made room for me to farm felt extremely intense compared to the games I've had pre-ranked.

                            People in ranked also seem to appreciate support much more. I have a pretty funky aggressive play style with Dazzle, trying to lure the opponent team into team fights and then sitting back healing and shallow graving my own team. Of course it doesn't work half the time and in one of the games it cost us a racks (lesson learned), but the team didn't rage or bash me for it and in the end we ended up winning after getting aoe'd to bits, but overcoming it via heals.

                            Long story short;

                            I like it already but can't wait to see what it gets like when I get to see my rank.

                              I checked your 3 most recent matches and surprise surprise still not even a single person with over 4k rating. You are a liar, you don't have 4,6k rating. Your enemies are averaging to 3600-3800 so I think your actual rating is 37xx at this point. There is no way that your rating would be 4,6k and you wouldn't get any same rating people against you.

                              A screenshot that can be edited in one minute doesn't prove anything. There is two possible reasons for this, you are a liar or there is something terrible flawed in valve's system

                                You rly can't let it go now can you? As i said, you can believe whatever you want, you seem to dream of me and want to know everything about me or something. Its spooky. Is it really bothering you so much that you are stalking me now?;_;

                                Also how do you check the private profiles? Mostly my mates and enemies have privat profiles like i do. pls gimme tutorial.

                                Also, are you upset that i get easier enemies than u? ;_;

                                  Just make your profile non-private mate :) I don't need to see every profile if I can see what is the avg ranking of those games. I'm sorry that I made you cry

                                  salt enjoyer

                                    I am pretty sure that even a non-ranked game tries to pair you with people not technically of an equal skill but of an equal rating.

                                    e.g. Someone with more games and high win rate can have the same rating as someone with low games and sub par win rate.

                                      Much better since experience since ranked matches. Less trash talking and flaming in chat and everyone seems to make an effort. Only been insulted twice in about 20 matches, so that's a huge improvement.

                                                        OR the person on the team that doesn't give you a pick at all as to who they want to play.

I played 7 games so far (1 solo and 6 in party), since i won all of them i cant really complain BUT - the games were mostly really close and it really depended on how we played (tactically and as team). Players knew what their hero was about, supports didnt steal farm and feed, we had curier and wards, etc. Of course loses will come in time, but if i got the chance to win the game and teams are balanced, i'm happy - even if i lose.

                                                                  Btw - atm i'm playing with some friends that are 3600-4500 in mmr and i'm more then happy cause games are intense and fun at the same time - but... i'd like to try and play with really good players, cause i'd like to improove. So, if anyone is interested, then add me :) Good luck to all of you and much fun with Dota! :)

My team still likes to flame me, but still, they keep playing, not like some games before. (Stacking with higher MMR players means Im always worst in my games...) I like that people actually want to win the game now, but on my MMR still not tryharding that much.
                                                                      And if I guess correctly, now we are allowed to try new things/play with friends just by queueing in normal match making instead of making smurf, without affecting ranked mmr. I was afraid to pick carry/mid, couse I suck with them, so would have lost a lot of rating and getting worse teammates, and hard to support such bad people. =/ I only like supporting better players, couse Im still not that good at this game.

                                                                                but good overall it encouraged me to atleast try make my play better so i don't feel well... inferior and step up my game.. plus most of the games are enjoyable but there is still people who has DOWNS syndrome in RMM. :(

Maybe 5 of them were out of hand, but the 15 games were close for the most part. I didn't run into any feeders on my team, and for the most part it seemed like my random teammates were on the same page. Enjoying these good games, not sure if its the match making system just putting people with similar skill level together or what.

But i hope this ends and get better. New sistem is still in the making, i hope it returns to where it was first games. I dont mind losing if we actually had a chance to win and blew it. But if it's really unbalanced (totally one sided stomp game), then it's a problem and game is totally unenjoyable.

                                                                                              Bone Chilling

                                                                                                RMM was a big improvement imo. My general game experience is way higher in ranked matches whether I play solo or as a stack of 2-3 ppl. The games most of the time are quite intense, strong picks, much better communication, less bitching about and much more will to win coming from most of the ppl I meet (~4.9k mmr). You still meet retards from time to time that tend to ruin the fun (once played with an abbadon that refused to play as a team from like minute 7 because I rushed to gank top (successfuly) without meeting up with him to use his smoke).

                                                                                                In short - the game has gotten much more enjoyable for me. ^^

                                                                                                  - 1- You get a feeder purposly feeding and ruining your rank, so you report him, and then what? NOTHING, your rating is still ruined by him :D
                                                                                                  - 2- Playing with 5 random people that you don't know and are not your responsibility. BAM, one abandons, and even after 5 minutes, if you leave, you still get -x rating. WHAAAAT??? I'm pretty sure the logical thing here would be to cancel all the match and no rating to anyone whatsoever, and the leaver get 5 games in low priority. The way it is now is simply RETARDED.
                                                                                                  -3- I'm not pro, but i play decently well. I have an mmr or 2.3 K whatever that means, and i've played with people that have 3K+ rating that go laning with no regen. Now, as i said, i'm no pro, but that is very very noobish, stuff u learn the first few games in dota, at least i did. So them having higher mmr than me is mind boggling.
                                                                                                  -4- Get rid of this Russian infestation plz, donno how, but for the love of god, find a way.

                                                                                                    As compared to say 3 months back, I'd say there are actually moar afkers & CM rage quitter than ever.
