New Patch Changelog

[zitapis]

Happy to see replays are faster available i personally use them quite often and i guess many others players too. Also happy too see them experimenting with ranked thought i can;t tell if the specific change will make difference. The thing is they try to imporve it and that's good.

Absolutely absurd for people who usually run with 4 friends. Now one of them will always have to sit out because a handful of solo players can't emotionally handle playing with another 4 stack. Who's to say the solo player always played better than the 4 stack? Unless Valve is 100% certain that every solo player (and I mean EVERY) had a terrible experience playing with a 4 stack, they shouldn't make this change permanent.

Who's most likely to get the blame for a loss? The one pubbie or someone in your 4 stack?
Also, people are more likely to argue with the solo player when they know they have 3 other players that are going to take their side. Having your entire team mad at you is unpleasant, especially when you don't know they're a 4 stack.

You can still play unranked.

143.6Megas patch in .....

- League Administration Site now allows League Admins to add/remove Admins, view detailed Match Stats, and upload third party Compendiums.
- Any Fantasy Leagues that had duplicate members and a stuck draft have had the duplicate teams removed and the league reset.
- Replays are now available to download quickly after a match completes.
- Ranked Matchmaking is currently unavailable for parties of 4 as part of an experiment to measure its impact on game quality.

A) only for those who spend ingame money
B) Same as A
C) Cool we can download replays after the game end , because they're so usefull
D) After tons of reports replys and petitions about this , they decide to do an "Experiment to measure the impact"
In others worlds
Hats

mmmmmm
Finaly something usefull...
What do you guys think about this?

How is the experiment any good news? You still get 3-1-1 vs 5 man stack, or 2-1-1-1 vs 5 man, or (if lucky) 2-3 vs 5 man stack. I don't see the point of this "testing".
The testing should be done by 4 man (English speakers) + 1 solo que Russian/Spanish Speaker (that can't type anything in English)!

What Valve should actally do is reintroduce solo queue.

I sometimes play on my own in RMM.. In one game I ran into 4 man party in RMM and they were a bunch of idiots.

Oh you know it! You should see the thread where people voted to bring back Solo Q. The results are pretty unanimous to have it re-instated.

hmm now disable 5man ranked and make TMM the 5man ranked??? I mean this step would be so obvious or not?

Ye, 5 man so stronk!!

idiot, 5man stacks are the weakest of them all. One can easily win 9/10 matches against a 5man stack because the balancing of volvo is so poor. But this doesn't mean the match is good, in fact its a mere stomp with a waste of time so seperating the pool would be the smartest thing to do

That would make sense so, no.

First if you play solo you're using your Solo Rank to determinate your position in the ladder, so.. having Partys while your playing solo is stupid as fuck they're using Ranked party ladder into the SOLO ladder 4 man stack should be removed and the reason is simply , this is dota not league of legend this is a 5vs5 not a 6vs6, so if they decide to fix the Solo & party queues how are you supuse to play 4 man stack in a Party queue? there is no way there will be always 1 guy alone,
But with this patch , they will have to wake up and fix the queue filter giving to the solo players 9 other solo guys , and the party queue should be always 5vs5 3+2vs5 5v3+2 3+2v2+3 ..

The testing should be done by 4 man (English speakers) + 1 solo que Russian/Spanish Speaker (that can't type anything in English)! <-- this line god this line ... i feel like i drop 4000mmr from reading this noob line
