Dota 2 doom gameplay 2014 dodge

General DiscussionHow to dodge games?

before the game loads, just disconnect
be careful though
1st dodge= 5min penalty
2nd dodge= 20 min penalty
and so on. So you dont wanna dodge to often.

Yeah, I know, but how do I dodge immediately using a commend, without disconnecting and waiting for the timer to count down to 0?

click abandon after disconnecting

Do I get the penalty for abandoning?

Yes, it will prevent you from finding new match for some time. No low prio or – mmr tho.

yes. since, it still on loading, on other player screen, you will failed to load. (as long as there still 1 or more other player still loading before you disconnect, if you disconnect when picking session i think it count as leave)
and they instant re-queue

and you got 5min punishment (for 1st time dodge)
and 20 for second dodge, never tried the third one

24 hours for the 3rd one, some say its 4 hours
but based from my experience, its 24 hours

Had internet issues a few weeks back where I couldn’t connect to games on time, and can also vouch that it’s 24 hours for the third time.

As long as I don’t get low prio, I’m ok with the 5 min queue time.

Currently on 10/24 hour cd, my Potato decided not to load for a few games.

if you dont connect for 3x its 24 hours

dodging is an mmr increasing skill if u use it wisely

^can confirm, had like a 11 solo rank win streak using the power of dodging

lol when do u guys dodge?

When where is retarded player on your team.

Or when there is a pro player smurfing on the other team.

Dodge games on dire mostly. Or some shitty name + red page. Load a replay or something before searching for a game so that it loads faster and you have a good head start.

nice. so while other are loading i checj their profile and if theres a retard or smurfer then i disconnect?

i honestly feel like dodging dire is a slippery slope because im just going to win more games without improving in skill at all, so its going to be ultra cancer when i stop dodging dire

my dire / radiant split is 52/58 last 3 months ffs

whats wrong with dire side? I have a higher winrate in dire

2247 games ruined by being on dire team

So tru in my every account my dire wr is lower

Well, it’s easier to gain early advantage on radiant. The direction you’re facing is more comfortable, the same reason I think it’s easier to break highground on bottom lane for both sides. Even in 5k+ literally every hero has 6-7% higher win rate on radiant.

I haven’t actually done that, but the advantage currently is pretty huge. Also, as I started playing more rarely recently I am having more radiant games anyway so I’m happy. Previously I was getting like 55/45 split towards dire and that is really unlikely with the amount of matches I had, so I suspect that the placement isn’t entirely random.

That split is pretty much impossible with 50/50 chance. So, I think that it’s 50/50 below 4k and then leans towards dire, but after somewhere between 4.5-5k it starts leaning back towards radiant and after 5k you are more likely to be on radiant.

This might not be intended by devs, but simply a product of how matchmaking works. Also, I might be making this all up kek.
