Ranked or Pub?

Me= ranked. Because its more organized.

Mine are mostly pubs since I played way before there was ranked. But yes, now I am actually trying to do both.

Wow didnt expect so much poll in this short timespan. Fills up fast :p

Pubs because I suck at rankedranked games are so much more frustrating to lose, there are more morons, whiners, xenophobes, metaslaves, "tryhards" etc. These +/-25 points are not worth it - you put effort to it, you fight for that points, you kill your nerves for... for what, some numbers? Please, I am satisfied with my 2.4k and I'm not going to kill my nerves and sacrifice my game enjoyment to increase that number.

Pubs = funny, enjoyable games.
Ranked = awful games for tryhards.

Mostly pubs, I quit playing ranked, it makes me take the game way too serious and I lose my good mood :P .

This ^ is pretty much the same for me, althoguh, tbh I've played more lobby games than Ranked....trust me, they're waaaaaay better 8{)

I don't mind playing Ranked in a competent 5-stack though, but when you solo, you have to pray that no one on your team is an idiot. If there is an idiot, your fun has just been ruined. 8{(

Yeah, I enjoy ranked when you are in a 5 stack, but when you are solo it doesn't work (1850 MMR here :P) There is also no gamemode aside captains and all pick, AP sucks because it's always the same heroes over and over and captains mode sucks because people instapick captain and will often go 5 carry team or they won't speak English or co-operate with you.

Bit of both, depending on my mood, recent experiences etc. Sometimes I'll do ranked if I've had particular bad pub allies in the hope of getting something more organised.

I don't take ranked too seriously - sure I try to win, but there's a fair amount of luck involved too - it only takes 1 idiot to seriously upset the balance of the game, a pause and massive counter-picking in AP or a few bad choices to make it a stomp one way or the other.

It's only over a sustained period of time you can really impact your MMR, game to game is very random. For example, I've seen some really awful "5k" players, and some really good "3k" ones.

Pubs atm. I have only playid one ranked and i'm not sure if i want to play it ever again. In that game there was this bloodseeker in our team that literally stole our snipers MoM recipe from the courier and then gave it to the enemy team. After getting his recipe stolen 2nd time sniper went afk and ofc we lost the match.

Yes. Yes. Lobby games are soooooo much better. Particularly when you have 9 other friends you know IRL that can play with you. :)
