interesting, from s2jamestown

(the majority of our matchmaking games are 5 solo vs 5 solo)


Quote
About 96% of matches are direct even matchups of equal group makeups (5v5, 4+1v4+1, 3+2v3+2, solovsolo, etc)


Quote
The advantage a 5man team had over a 5 solo team is about 5% (sometimes 5 man teams get matched up vs 5 solo teams of much higher MMR too).

All that being said, this patch there will be some changes to matchmaking that should make you happy (I hope). If the changes goes over well we may make further tweaks to restrict certain group makeups from playing group makeups.

ugh nome blows

Nome: hatchet, shield and runes for blacksmith starting items?
The guide's written for new players.
New players tend to harass less and don't grasp the concept of mana not accumulating interest. Also, the idea of a hero with high base damage not "needing" Hatchet is silly; a KotF without Hatchet is difficult to manage, for example, but a KotF with Hatchet will receive every creep kill. Because it scales with your damage, it amplifies an advantage. Given the increase in Hatchet usage at lower levels, it makes sense to suggest the item in return.

You can make arguments the other way around as well, but I figured a Hatchet/Buckler setup would be friendlier.

so teaching new players bad habits is acceptable?
No, teaching them to adapt to their environment and not mindlessly following a cookie-cutter build is preferable. The worst possible thing in this genre is for there to be a hundred items, yet be ostracized for buying anything other than a small percent of what people consider to be viable on your hero.

sure man and what was the reasoning behind arachna's punch dagger + health potion?
That was something I've had a lot of personal success with. I changed that to a more "acceptable" build quite a while ago.

half the stuff he wrote is vague

solo MM is the majority, does that mean 51%, or does that mean it's the biggest piece of the pie (solo, vs 5man, vs 4man, vs3man, vs 2man)

5% advantage, does that mean they have the better MMR %, or do 5 mans win 55% of the time vs 5 solos
