We think Dota is best played as a group with friends. To encourage this style of play we're introducing a few experimental changes with the patch today to improve overall match quality for these kinds of games: - Full parties are now permitted to match against any valid opposing team, and are no longer required to match against a full party in ranked. - Adjusted matchmaking tuning to make finding a game as a full party faster. - Full parties may now all chat "gg" to surrender a match after 30 minutes of game time with the same 10 second countdown and cancel UI as in pro games. This is scored as a loss.
