Pocket does double damage to Sinner's Sacrifice with a single amplification stack from Barrage; though Pocket takes double damage as well.

Drifter says "They're marked." when casting Stalker's Mark even if it misses and does not hit a target.

I do not believe this is intentional. I was able to provide my teammates with information of enemy jungling, etc. In the screenshot you can see that I've been dead for over a minute (relative to Billy) and could overlook middle the whole time.

Match #: 46437879 Player hero: Lash Patron's match start voice lines occasionally have a 'loudspeaker filter' applied to them. It seems to occur by chance and I don't know how to recreate it. For all I know it's intentional and not a bug. I think it's interesting and wanted to share.

Wraith's Telekinesis' Slam animation is canceled by Bebop's Grapple Arm, if Grapple Arm was applied first. This does not seem to happen if the target is in the air.

Radiant Regeneration is triggered by Pocket's Affliction and Decay - abilities which state that they do not trigger items. To be clear, I specifically refer to the health per second you receive for dealing spirit damage to the enemy. Mystic Regeneration does not have this issue.

McGinnis' Medicinal Specter left a permanent healing effect on me, which persisted into multiple teamfights. Match #: 45776322. First video shows when the effect began. Second video shows a teamfight cause why not.

Yeah, I second this. It's a really annoying issue. It's possible that it is intentional so that the player can choose to dash down ramps or stairs, but the better solution would be to implement it the same way that Pocket's cloak works. If the player wants to dash down the stairs then the...

The very same is true with Viscous' Puddle Punch, when fully upgraded. If the item is not intended to benefit these abilities then it should not be put on cooldown.

Billy's Blasted does not apply Wrecked to Troopers, despite applying it to all other NPCs. Unsure if a bug or intentional. If the latter, might be worth specifying in the ability description.

Billy's Bashdown, when fully upgraded, does not benefit from Melee Charge's or Crushing Fists' 25% bonus to Heavy Melee damage; despite putting the item on cooldown. Note the item is on cooldown after using Bashdown.

Thank you Valve devs for addressing the matchmaking/rank issue!! I'll write more if there is anything. WRONG. Deadlock, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2 and Half-life: Alyx are goated. I got promoted from Arcanist 5 to Oracle 2, whee!

Thank you for the even handed responses.

Besides all the potentially disingenuous stuff I wrote, you are right that I do like to play too many heroes and it does affect my ability to iterate on skill. Nevertheless it does feel like the skill range of players in any particular rank is too high, which results in too much weight being...

The point of my post is that currently the ranks do not convey any perceptible skill level. It's why currently 14% of all playerbase is stuck in Initiate I, which is 5 times the size of any other rank division. In my games I have players who range from 'playing for the first time' to having...
