    [Suggestion] Have a sound when the game map loads

    If you switch away from Dota2 while searching for a match, there is a noise made to alert you when a match is found. This is great.

    The problem is: If you switch away from the loadscreen after searching for and accepting a match, then the map loads silently and you might miss out some time picking your hero.

    A successful solution would: have a noise alert to tell you when you can pick your character. E.g. The 'All Pick' sound could play whether Dota2 is active or not.

    Edit: Sorry, this should probably have been posted in the sounds subforum.

The matchmaker also will raise your Elo and try to put you in players of equivalent skill, which indirectly tries to get the win rate to 50%. However, it has never looked at your historical win rate and put you in a game where it knew that you were expected to lose.
    Is every post on this forum about the Dunning-Kruger effect?
