Hero League and MMR hell.

It only took one day of hero league in 2.0 to remind me why this mode is so frustrating. Previous seasons I was in Plat, this season started in Gold 1 and have managed to work my way down to gold 3. Every game I win i get ~170 points, and every game i lose results in a loss of 200-230 points. Here's a summary of my last 5 games.

Game 1: Hanamura (loss) I first pick malf. Next 3 pick assassins after last pick says he can play any role. We ask him to tank, and he locks in Zera. Other team had double warrior and we had none, so of course we lost.

Game 2. Towers of Doom (win) This game actually drafts well for both sides, and we win easily.

Game 3: Infernal Shrines (loss) Our team first picks Azmodan. He pretty much pushes the whole time and gets picked repeatedly as a result. We don't win a single team fight and lose the game nearly 5 levels down.

Game 4: Sky Temple (loss) We have a great comp, but our Nazeebo was upset with someone on our team from a previous game, so he alternates between AFKing out and feeding. We do amazingly well considering its 4v5, but of course we lose.

Game 5: Braxis (loss) We have a great draft. Our last pick was going to play Johanna, but when the enemy team locks her in, he waits until there is no time left, locks in Nova, and leaves the game. We have no tank and an AI nova, so we lose inside of 14 minutes.

I love this game -- my account has over 2000 games played and I own every hero. I love drafting and playing Hero League, but it drives me crazy that 50% of my games are auto-losses due to trolls either in game or in draft. On top of that, I have to win over 50% of my games just to stay even due to the point adjustments in my MMR.
