kicking counts as a leave on your record.

haha funny bug earlier, i was bloodseeker and my teammate had 1hp left from veno's ult, so i cast bloodlust on him to deny him.

instead of just denying him, i ended his killing spree, got the bonus gold, and added +1 to my score

There are noob only games, but of course there is always the wolf hiding in sheeps skin but still much better progress then DOTA.

There should be no point in leaving, since you can team vote forfeiting now, and if all else fails, play super passive and farm till your team concedes or kicks you (does that count as a loss or leave?)

While I appreciate the attempt, I feel like the new % system just helps stack the teams while demoralizing the disadvantaged team in the process. I have yet been in a game where people purposely joined the weaker side to balance out the match. Usually all the pro players try to get together or they leave the match.

To new players: Don't die. Ever. If you think you might die, run away. If you die, figure out why and don't do it again. If you're staying alive, your team is much more likely to offer helpful advice.

The ELO and % thing is fucking hilarious. Totally ruining it. They need to can it or make it hidden.

This shit right here. The most important skill for a new player to learn is how to not die.

The next most important skill is how to last hit. I destroy pubs for one simple reason, I outfarm everyone. 50 ck after 10 minutes is pretty much unstoppable.

Find a lane where there is a ranged ally. Stay half a screen away from the line of fighting creeps. If an enemy hero moves up, back away.

When in doubt, stand next to your tower.

cant wait to paly this game, im waiting for the facebook grand give-away to happen for my chance.

is the pathing like it was in wc3, like your character cant move through other units? i hated that because units would get into a traffic jam and it would be auto fail, especially if you tried to escape someplace to save your life

[lonedawg]

Yes, you can get blocked by units. However there are ways to go through them from items, lilke the phase boots, when you have them on (it's an ability, has a 10sec cooldown or such) it lets you pass through units and gives youa faster run speed too.
