Sheep Tag Community

1) there is w/l and competetive in Dota2. people have a chance to make their statistics private though, to avoid being stalked after every game they play. most people don't put their profile on private, and you can see W/L on third party sources, as well as peoples history, their records, friends they play with. you can also see various ranks "highest winrate/most games played", you can see history and w/l of all teams(amateur teams too). wots de problem? what exactly is it dota2 doesn't have that you're so dependant on?

you didn't mind that sheeptag didn't have a ranking for all these years? these "objective rankings" are usually bullshit anyway and can be manipulated easily, such as the DotaCash rankings where low players managed to get ranks they didn't deserve by a longshot. but yeah, for all "competing with friends and sharing stats" purposes; dota2 fills all requirements.


2) LoL has a higher playerbase because the game is easier, you can ''cheat'' legally (paying real money to get better characters/grinding for runes). most people seem to like these type of games (same reason WoW was so massive), where your performance can be influenced by brute factors rather than skill/understanding being the only factors. it sais nothing about the quality of the game, and that should be particularily obvious within the context of our community, as sheeptag was always peanut-size compared to much worse games that had a larger playerbase.


3) i have no question that itio got the highest skillbracket in our community, based on some of the opponents i've seen him face. but as I already pointed out in 1), stuff like this can easily be manipulated. if you play with pro friends for instance, you'll get to brackets you don't belong in, and if you play with trash friends, you'll get in brackets below what you'd be in if you played by yourself. it also depends on how hard you try. some people only pick the heroes that are considered strong/''overpowered'' in the current version of the games, while others only play heroes that have fun spells. then you have people who play -random most of their game. all of this (there are other ways too) influences what bracket you get in.
