Please keep the QQ to a minimum if you do not like this update. We are happy to hear your reasoning for not liking a ranked system, but no "OMG VOLVO WHY" posts.

Looks nice, I dont really like the possibility of ranked solo queue. I feel that dota that is team game should only be ranked when playing team versus team. Well I guess solo queue is needed for casuals(thats me) I will probably play it a lot anyway. But I am afraid it will deteriorate the overall gaming experience.

What I really like about this is that they keep it separate and hidden from prying eyes of raging strangers. We might see an increase in "friend requests".

I dislike the idea of competitive AP games far more than competitive solo games. Extremelly shitty mode if both teams are tryharding as hard as they could. It really needs to be turn based for it to make sense. CM is obviously not a good mode either with the way it works right now, but perhaps there could be a middle ground.

I personally look forward to being told I can't play a hero because my MMR is too low.

I find it interesting that the their system also looks into if the game was close and not a steam roll. That is so much better than a just flat win/loss ratio. I bet there is some complex math behind that system.

It's hidden. So that's not very likely.

The math is in the blog, they calculate the integral of the gold curve after the last point it reaches zero. It's pretty simple, unless they do something else they are not talking about. The only question is how much area represents a good/bad game.

I fully expect mass complaints in the near future about how their MMR is too low. Stuck in low MMR hell, all that kind of stuff. I don't really understand how people are gonna get better playing ranked, I mean, AP is ranked, it's just invisible. If you're not climbing up the ladder, you're not climbing up the ladder. Playing ranked is not suddenly gonna make you better. I think this is just gonna break people's delusions of how skilled they are.

And is playing Dota not fun in itself?
All the way to TI322!

I am pretty sure it is fucking space math and there are a ton of factors. Valve isn't one for half steps and they love to push what is possible. I wouldn't be surprised if it kept track of pings and how effectively they were used and if people used voice chat.

I feel like the fact that they're saying what they're doing is them actually acting on the lessons they said they learned from the whole Diretide incident. They saw the community stir with the DSR shit and let us know that they're actually doing stuff on that front too. Good stuff I think.

They do says that's one of several metrics, but it just shows the simplicity of it. There's no reason to make it rocket science, the big question is what to track, not how to do it.

We also track our uncertainty about your MMR. New accounts and those playing in Ranked Matchmaking for the first time have high uncertainty. Higher uncertainty allows larger adjustments after each match, and lower uncertainty leads to smaller adjustments. Together, the MMR and uncertainty can be interpreted as a probability distribution of performance in your next game; the MMR itself serves as the mean of this distribution and the uncertainty is its standard deviation. If the match outcomes (both the win/loss and individual performance) repeatedly match our expectations, the uncertainty tends to decrease until it reaches a floor. A surprising match outcome will tend to cause an increase in uncertainty.


I like this.

I like it a lot.
