    @Thisguywill feed

    i've run into maybe 2-3 account buyers since ranked came out. the most blatant cue is when they are not even getting the basics down properly (luna with 2 points in beam, 2 points in glaive, 2 points in +dmg passive by level 6 in one of my games 2 months ago) and they have something dismal like 20% win rate over the last 50 games.

    anyways i'm not 5k mmr (I was 4.9k 3 days ago then tanked back to 4700-4800) but this is generally where the account buyers are going for. 5k accounts are probably the highest in demand because they're not exorbitantly expensive while still giving 3k players what they want to "experience," from which I can only conclude is getting carried by people far beyond their caliber

      korok is complete ass, he fed 1-6 invoker in my game with 25 min phase/force staff, do u think beating a former washed up TI professional (let's not forget that group consists of the likes of HANNAH_MONTANA who also lost me 1-2 games in ranked matchmaking) means anything? i've won against plenty of people much higher rated than me and also lost to plenty of people lower rated than me. pubs mean almost nothing.

      get fucking real

            Pubs dont mean anything, Nor does the rating. This is why I ask if its necessary to even have. Valve could of literally made features and benefits for people of all kinds that play dota. Yet its still a pile of community trash making people get along with low priority and auto mute systems.

            "That government is best which governs least."

            Valve only has to make the areas of interest and people will go and not go to those areas that please them. Its not hard, and for them to not do it really shows they have no real Humanistic values.

              the rating tells you your ability to win pub games, which as i pointed out, is roughly correlated with but not exactly indicative of skill

              i mean if u didn't care (and based on the evidence presented i'm like 95% sure you bought an account with higher MMR than what you were able to attain through your own play) then that's fine, there are plenty of players sitting in the 2k/3k/4k brackets who just don't give 2 fucks, but buying an account and then saying "well it doesn't mean anything anyway" just sounds dumb and illogical

              if u didn't give a fuck in the first place nobody would say anything, but now that you did, you should own up to it instead of dodging responsibility. then again it's the internet so nobody really cares (people maphacked all the time in dota 1, played the denial card; nobody cares anymore), except you because you're so concerned about your virtual image.

              do i care you bought an account? no, not really, and neither does 99.99% of the community. you brought this upon yourself.

                lol its not that he bought the acc, its the fact hes denying it and going full damage controlerino no copy pasterino

                Nemesis

                  yea, that's what i meant - i don't care if he buys accounts (if he went 0-15 in one of my games i'd probably flame him but i wouldn't care after 2-3 games) but he's whining about the MM system which is just being delusional and absurd

                    Your evidence is lacking and yet you still say I bought the account haha. I'm the most honest person I know and I am in no way delusional. I've already stated that I have multiple accounts and none of them were always 100% only played by me. No money was ever transferred for any account, rating boost, or rating. But this has nothing to do with rating or me buying account, I'm merely point out the Ill psychological feedback that something like this provides. I don't care what you think of me and I don't care if you think I bought my account, it has nothing to do with what I'm bringing up in this thread. Thats what I'm actually bitching about.

                    If I wanted to hack, Id do it and be open about it. The same would go for buying accounts. I don't give 2 shits about virtual reputation. Funny that when I started playing on this account too, people would ask if I'm HæL because I had my main added. So I'm not as retarded or in the gutter as you think.

                      Yeah, totally lacking in evidence, so now your excuse is that you have this special "friend" who only plays on Europe servers and used to share the account with both you and http://dotabuff.com/players/166614232 No money transfered since you guys are "friends" although maybe keys changed hands or something. Are you going to say that this is your account too? Some friendship you and your friend share...

                      Strange that this "friend" only played the first 100+ games on both your account and that account I posted while under the same alias, using the same builds while placing items in the same inventory slots. Must be his twin brother!!

                      Strange that both accounts immediately started losing most of their games right after that.

                      Damn dem coincidences.

                      Come on, stop trying to deny it in the face of such evidence. You're just making yourself look stupider with every post.

                        A lie, leads to another lie to cover the first lie, and another lie to cover the first and second lie It is understood that nobody's perfect, and everyone makes mistakes, but their comes a point where all those lies unfold and you will be standing there wondering what just happened.

                        Trust does not branch off with a lie, it branches off with the truth, and if you can't admit to your own mistake, than my friend you have a lot to work on. :)

                          I have many accounts for other shit, all of them at one point named Freedom Dive. I got another account right now that my friend from australia is smurfing with. If I got on that account and started playing it would you think I bought it from some account seller in Australia? Plus, I know a lot of his friends like CQQ and Murderer.I wasn't a customer, and I never purchased OR BARGAINED for this account. Hope that clarifies. Its still not good enough evidence you are tricking yourself to believe i am someone who you don't know.

                          Plus he use to play bot matches to lvl 13 at one point. The one thing I found out that this account developed without me knowing about is the party rating which I hardly play.

                            @Flop This conversation cannot go on cause you guys call me liars constantly and you absolutely deny the integrity of me as a person and its becoming slightly disrespectful now. I told you my story, you told me yours. I'm honest, I did not lie, I cannot tell you anything new or anything more that will change your mind. WE will have to agree to disagree. I'm sorry for the disappointment.

                                  That was a lot of run on and rage. And my story doesn't and hasn't changed. I just leave stuff out because I dont feel the need to explain everything in detail. But I have stated, clear as crystal, that there was no transaction of money,objects or otherwise for this account. 0, zilch, nada, Nil. I do not have to explain anymore.

                                    lol im submitting a steam ticket saying you bought the account and the real owner lives in ukraine/russia
                                    hf cry in a corner when u cant login

                                    Manobo

                                      You can if you want to, if it was really an account made by someone in Russia my steam store currency would be fucked up. But I have bought games on this account with no problem and i am the first one to make a purchase with my credit card. I am the rightful owner of the steam account.

                                      I'll send in a ticket saying i stole the account too, lets see if anything happens.

                                        This kid is such a joke.
                                        This thread made me laugh quite a bit at all those kids that think they can buy their way into being good at something.

                                        "I'm Draco Malfoy and I bought my team Nimbus 2001s, which makes me a good seeker right? CRASH AND BURN BITCH CUZ YOUR DADDY AIN'T HERE TO HOLD YOUR HAND!"

                                        Also, just search all users for the name "Freedom Dive".
                                        HǣL comes in as the first search :P
