I rarely have a game of Dota2 where the spread of skill in my team is the reason I've lost. Indeed, I can't think of a time. I've lost to smurfs occasionally.

I rarely have a game of Dota2 where the spread of skill in my team is the reason I've lost. Indeed, I can't think of a time. I've lost to smurfs occasionally. I've lost because people have tilted and abandoned or chain fed. I've lost because internet has died. I have even lost despite playing at my best and having a good game... Mostly, 8-9 times out of 10, I've lost because I did not have enough impact on the game. I did not do enough to win, and to help my team win. But yeah. Wide spreads in matchmaking really only happen with very extreme skill levels, on rare game modes / timezones, and where explicitly playing as a party (and thus forcing it)

>I've lost because people have tilted and abandoned or chain fed. Was mostly thinking about that. Everyone can chain feed when in bad shape. But it's more likely that the lowest skilled player of the team do that. However its true that a poor hero choice in the setup can be all it takes. I guess more than SBMM what ultimately made me go away from this game is the average game length. My lifestyle is now incompatible with potential 1hour+ game and i didn't want to become "the selfish quitter".
