Thanks for pointing me out, in our defense our sweet sweet lanes were AM solo, Chysamere doing chen daily, valos 5th picking weaver to mid against him, and last but not least we did the great as hell tide/axe offlane. By 10 minutes am or weaver couldn't farm cause he was level 8000 with an orchid, and he could basically solo kill anyone for 80% of that game. I've played with and against him a few times before, and I actually tried to check if it was him during that game. His name was some randomization of his name like normal, but his profile was private so I figured it was him or an imposter. The AM was a rando and Censura the axe was in the RR channel - but first game I've ever played with them no idea if they are on the forum or not much.
In MY defense, we won the next game with me on Chen, because we played heroes that actually had some push capability

What's the incentive for the person being challenged to accept?
I'd make it as some kind of queue option where you can choose to be matched with people better/worse than you. There are enough people looking to stomp games that you wouldn't need any specific incentive. Of course, ragers/flamers would be an even bigger problem in this mode than usual since the teams are inherently imbalanced from the get go. You won't learn a whole lot if your 5 carry team is feeding from minute 0, your dunning-kruger mid is blowing up voice chat, and the stronger team is autolocking heroes that excel at taking apart lower skilled disorganized teams.

A solution might be to make it so you can only play the mode with a full 5 stack from the disadvantaged side. That would at least make the game semi-organized and an overall better learning experience. You would be able to try and use teamwork to turn the tides against an opponent consisting of individually stronger, but less organized players. I would also make the stronger team more sensitive to reports, to weed out jackasses who only come to stomp, flame, and feel superior. Maybe give some kind of item reward for teaching commends in the mode as well.

I think girl streamers on dota are hilarious. It seems like every single stream of a chick has the same thing.

Terrible EDM music.

A guy in skype trying really hard at the game
and her with a super serious look on her face playing horribly.

I wonder if there are any women who are actually good at the game.

Only girls that come to mind that aren't terribad are Bummi and Bubu on Admiral's stream. Other than that yea, all a joke. I like the comment about the guy in skype try harding though. So spot on.

Welcome to every girl streamer ever. It's fucking pathetic. Even more pathetic are the limp-dicked idiots that actually donate to these dumb cunts.

I just want to watch a good chick. Naturally I'd rather watch a chick play than a guy, but there are just no good chicks.

There are plenty of free ta-tas out there on the internet to look at. I really don't understand the whole face-cam thing in general, though. I want to watch DotA, not some random person's head flapping around covering the screen.

How good is Sheever ? skill vs tits aside, I think she does a lot for the community and the amount of hate she receives is unwarranted, besides all the sheever ravage jokes

Her name, Sheever, sucks. Her voice is mildly deep and annoying. Other than that, she is swell.

On the topic of 5k personalities, I caught the capitalist from join dota playing a game - his solo is 5k.

5k is a hard ass barrier to breach in solo queue. You either have to be generally rated 5k at any role/position, like omhgee who can play anything it seems. If I random in ranked I will lose 60% of my games unless the randomizer gods are friendly to me and pick me heroes I can play well. If you can't play every position/role you have to chain pick your best heroes and hope the team fits around you, or you have to ride the tails of whatever is OP in any given patch. Draskyl is the only personality that was never a pro that is around 5k rated I believe that I know of. Godz might be in the high 4k's or low 5k but I am not certain on that. Either way, the pool of players who surpass 5k is excessively small.
Draskyl was a pro HoN player tho

PresquVu (?) maybe? She seems to play with a few of the pro players and does ok.

I think she's in the 4ks so she can't be that bad, though I think her hero pool at that level isn't enormous. Also seems like a nice girl for a giant

The increased zoom distance for spectators is pretty nifty. Sort of reminds me of Supreme Commander. I hope casters use it sparingly though, since it kind of takes you out of the action and gives you a more sterile view of everything. When you are at normal view distance with good camera work it feels more like you are "in the game." It's the same reason they don't show NFL coaches tape on TV.
