Call of Duty Modern Warfare Console

- to those who don't know Call of Duty Modern Warfare is a cross platform game means you can play with PC, Xbox nad Ps4 players
Dota 2 Matchmaking Changes / Scrub Update
- Recently its revealed the valve is making changes on Dota 2’s match making
- but oh boy the changes are massive as its currently the biggest matchmaking dota 2 update ever
- In the official blog post they are addressing community complaints and then pushed some experimental changes
- So what are these changes?
- The first big changes is for the Solo and Party MMR
- because this time they won't be calculated separately , so its now a joint MMR
- according to valve this was changed because they want players to focus on team play
- because right now Dota 2 players prefer to play solo
- Also for the accuracy of MMR
- they Valve decided to release a Core and Support MMR stats
- so now you can decide which position you want to play in a match
- on top of that the each MMR type will now have its own leaderboard
- at least this time support players get the spotlight they deserve!
- Next update is the Summoner Scrub
- this update has 2 parts one for the code which now focuses on intra-team balance, player conduct, new player experience, abusive behaviors, account buying, friend and teamplay aspects
- then bug fixes and other quality of life improvements
- so basically this update tackles the aspects of matchmaking dynamics, and other issues
- According to valve this is an effort to make the overall experience of playing Dota more fun for players of all levels
- So far the community response are positive but what do you think?
