I've played premade v premade games with Pacov with no text OR mic.

I think as a great total we typed like 5 things which was "come here so I can go get cur" and a few joking things.

We may have used ping a few times though.

If I would of known this 2 months ago my stats would be upwards of eighty percent right now.  So now that I know this I really don't need a "clan" to help me win...which is nice.  Nope it's not Ventrillo.

I think that the OP is an ASCII art rendition of a stick of butter.

This sounds strangely like those false adds online:

Having trouble with the ladies? Stamina not what it used to be? Tired of being laughed at? Muscles not bulging? Try Panacea today!! We promise* your sex life, work life, and social life will be improved instantly!!

*Panacea is not regulated by the FDA nor has it been shown to have any effect on your life what-so-ever and may be known to the state of California to cause cancer. However, Panacea is endorsed by a Nigerian prince who is also ready to give you 50 million if you would be so kind as to provide your bank information and passwords.

that's not a secret to most of us (if thats what he's talking about)... im just not enough of a deush to do that

Almost every game I'm in, there are unspoken rules. Mostly it's just pay attention, and be ready to tp for a save/gank.

If that was the case, then why does Prussian_Havoc have a 80.9% win rate? He plays 99% panth so I don't think he has a lot of control over who he plays with/against (though he may of course drop against good players. I don't have enough expierence to know).

But he is not even close to a tier 1 or tier 2 player, he just plays in a game mode that has a lower level of skill, and he (obviously) is higher than the average player who plays that mode. That can't be the case in Custom? 

Why ppl complaint about vent ??? This is a most when u play with friends. U can use vent/steam/ts with everygame. Better talk to write. Personnaly i dont use it but when we played friends vs friends we all used it. And premade can be a friends game. No1 use a speaking prog. They just play together for fun. With my experience, random can beat premade. You just have to listen ur teammate in time. Who we attack 1st, what each other buy at citadel, who get which flag, etc ? Remember, at 1st, when ppl played together before getting premade, they were listening each other and add good cooporation. Thats whty they become premade.

I don't think Epi was complaining about vent so much as me being somewhat of a hypocrite

it's because almost every good premade has left the game 

Playing a tier 2 or 3 demigod and taking risks against enemy teams with average skill will net your about a 40-45% win rate.

Playing a tier 1 dg will add 10%

Playing only stacked games adds 10%

Playing in a premade often adds 15%

Being an uberpro adds 10%

The only way to get above 90% (with more than a few games of course) is to cheat.
