General DiscussionCan somebody explain why I win way way more at Radiant than at Dire?

not sure if it's the same case for you, but i played dota1 for over 8 years since 5.87c and almost ALWAYS from the radiant side that's why i feel comfortable on this side. feels kinda off from the dire side and hence the lower win rate.

The trees are prettier on radiant, that is all there is to it

Green grass and shrubs get you going huh. To each its own.. lmao

Very decent replies FUCKERS

I have pretty balanced with radiant beign 51,22% and dire 51,84%, most people have problems with dire since they start in the upper part of the map, as a rts player i dont mind that, maybe you rely on jungle farm to much, since radiant jungle was always better than dire, now we have a more balanced jungle, since the rosh pit dire advantage was removed patches ago.

just git gud

I win a lot more on dire

just git gud

if you want to know the honest answer at one point it would be affected if you stacked with others a lot, for imbalanced parties valve would put the higher party on radiant side or something but they changed it

otherwise playstyle affects a lot too

TA on dire is hard mode, you probably have to walk starting at x:20 from midlane to syack ancients goddamnit

Also arent there unique pros and cons for playing on either side? I'm not very clear at this thats why im asking, but the geography is definitely correlative with farm advantage or strategic warfare in a more practicable way right?

Not sure if i made my point correctly my heads throbbing so much

for me as a carry main i know i used to prefer dire because you could get more out of the lane when given a free farm situation thanks to the nearby big camp, which (i believe) led to my higher dire win rate

but the recent patch changed that anyway

yes geography affects farm advantage etc as well, but such levels are hard to objectively quantify

From what youve said I can finally deduce that I suck so hard at maximizing my farm potential.

About what youve said earlier about imba stacks, yes I played with jo's grief account, occasionally with some of his weebish 4k friends, but the sample size is too small to actually mean anything (at least 30 games before he got tired of normal skill games xd)

I do remember being Radiant in about 7 out of 10 games

? just report jo, we all do that every game with him Kappa

radiant has vision advantage, you actually see more shit on your screen

Stacking the ancients in the Radiant side is more easier than the Dire.

Pudge 'hook spot' is much better in the Radiant.

Mid lane nearer to neutral creeps is a big help for Meepo, Alche, Sf, or Tinker.

Yeah i can see all your poinys but somehow it isnt enough to explain the whole picture.

The disparity is quite huge guys- 8% aint no joke and the number of games Ive played should be statiscally sufficient to give little error margin

Also ill try to look at stats for my games played within 1 year cause i know ive improved so much from the potatp thsat i used to. It might yield different values if i do it tjat way

I have the same experience. 48.8% on Dire, 55% on Radiant. played roughly 40 games more on Dire. Couldn't tell you why tbh.

Dire winrater on this acc is 5% higher, idk why. Also I wondering about this guy http://www.dotabuff.com/players/195347373

^Lols a fucking toggler
Or he bought an account with potato mmr/pre calibrated by normal on purpose and proceeds to wreck potatoes cause hes fucking good an

I just don't like going from upper right corner to the bottom left corner. Feels weird.
