    this will be my very first time to subscribe the dotaplus for 1 year, can anyone tell me what is the advantages and the benefits for it? tq :)

        max calibration 5k

        Snowball

          Advantage: -

          1. you get a less toxic, more peaceful game.
          2. You can practice your mid or safelane carry with rank roles, in relative peace. You still get reported if you perform badly but at least you don't have to fight over it.

          Disavantage:-

          1. Longer queue times, especially for mid and safelane.
          2. I find that the mmr range for a ranked role team is wider...i.e. you might get a difference of 1k mmr between the highest ranked mmr and the lowest. This happens more often if you queue mid or safelane. Maybe it's becos everyone wants those roles so they have to compromise by setting a wider range to build the 2 teams.
          3. Sometimes (and this from a 2k solo mmr experience) a balanced team is not the best team to win with. I tried playing normal ranked and got matched against a dotaplus team...they were well balanced. ours...1st 3 picks hard carry...me 4th pick BH(support) just to see if the last guy would still insist on hard carry..yeap he picked troll. As soon as game started there was a fight on our side for mid, troll went mid despite sniper being there and they traded insults for 5 mins b4 troll gave up and went safelane. We got stomped for the 1st 20 mins but still won as the dotaplus team, despite being well balanced and winning early, did not continue to push and went farming. We had 4 hard carries and won in the end cos of that. I noticed alot of times this happens. Balanced but uncoordinated so the best farmers win in the end.
