What mode are you playing?
Do you ever support?
Do you rage at teammates after they die a few times?
Started at around 3400, now down to nearly 3000. I think I've gone like 5-15 in solo RMM games. And it seems like point change per game is "random number between 24-27 up or down depending on win or loss." Last game I lost I was solo offlane weaver, went 16-2, and lost 26 pts with the loss. I'm honestly ready to quit dota for awhile over it. It's the most frustrating experience I've ever had in dota and I've played since 2005; no matter what, I've had absolute garbage teams in solo RMM. Like I said earlier, I've had games where no one spoke English, many games with leavers on my team, a game where we had a Veno/VS and both "weren't support heroes," or the usual first, second, third pick carry and then 4th and 5th also pick carry for a 5 carry team.

It is even more frustrating when you que in with 4 to 5 stacking then proceed to lose 8 out of 10 games... I que in with my friends and I get mad at the same two friends for playing it like a regular pub game in RMM games - they always pick the same hero because they don't know how to play any other heroes (and they've been playing since 2006 DOTA)or play their role wrong... we would be winning all the way to mid game and they proceed to throw (not intentionally)... I started at around 3400 in team MMR and went down to 3000 because of them... now I'm slowlyclimbing back up again. I tell them if they want to play MMR I will rage or yell at them in game to stop doing stupid things or don't roshan when none of the opposing heroes are dead - and they still do the same mistakes over and over! A few of their friends with MMRs in the 4000 or 5000 also agree with me and rage at them too...
I think an MMR of 500 is probably near the upper limit of the range in skill between any two individuals for it to still be an enjoyable experience. My friend is about 1500 higher than me, we don't even bother queueing together because we both know I'll drag their team down, end up feeding or throwing, and everyone will have a bad time. I have other people that are 5-600 above and below me, and honestly those would be the absolute limits of who I'd queue with.

heard rumors that maybe Dota 2 Custom games coming sooon.
I have 4.5k MMR and I think i'm an average player at best.
OH MY GOD! I know exactly what this is. It's WTF mode!
Don't we already have -wtf?
Or is this a proper game mode like -ap?
I think we do, and this looks a lot like a "build a hero" mode. Looks like someone is using the axe model but has sprout, ice path, essence aura, and borrowed time for skills.

Valve announced that they are extending the winter holiday event, Wraith Night, until January 6th. Not only will the event still be playable through the main client, but the drop rates for Shining and Phantom fragments have been doubled!

Slark ultimate now can't be seen even by normal invis detection abilities, including towers. Not sure when this change happened, because I haven't seen very many slarks.
How the hell are you supposed to counter him now, though? It used to be you buy dust, and if he removes the dust debuff with his ability at least that involved some skill on his part. Now you just can't counter his invis at all, no matter what?
I guess if you didn't get any long stuns on the opposing team, slark is supposed to be a free win.
