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.

there is literally no correlation between skill and the desire for good games.


what makes good games? oh right players not heroes.


Pretty much. Good players alays leads to good games, whatever heroes they pick

According to Volvo its the gold difference at the end of the game times the amount of time since the gold graph was 0, more or less. Pretty derp imo, not sure.

Nope. According to Valve that's one of several factors they look into. It's not like there's a magic number that will give you match quality. If you want to attempt to measure it in any way, diference in gold earned is definatelly a relevant metric.

And even if Valve's method isn't that accurate after taking every metric into account, that's only an issue if they pretend it's accurate. But noone knows how much emphasis they put into "match quality".

I'd actually really like to see a mode similar to LoLs ranked queues introduced. You get to ban and pick heroes in a set order, but rather than having one guy pick for the whole team, everyone gets to pick their own.n_n

Bans have virtually no impact on solo queue games honestly. TBH I've said for ages that bans have very little practical impact on solo ranked games in League too.

Solo queue as a mode fundamentally has a greater emphasis on individual hero strength, so it's natural that certain picks that are strong on their own impact the mode--but adding bans doesn't change this. You just move down to the next level of strong solo queue heroes and the relative power is the exact same, just with those few top picks removed. It doesn't improve the quality of the gameplay because instead of heroes A, B, and C being the "OP" picks, now, D, E and F are.

Banning only really has a meaningful impact on the game in a team setting where you ban for reasons other than "I think this hero is too strong".
yango pls

Isn't the TMM rating just the average rating of everyone in the team at the start?
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Thats pretty much the way I saw it too LOL.

Maybe the TMM ranking includes the adjustments for 5-stacking

Imagine the patch notes:

-- Ranked match making added to Dota 2.
-- Techies added to Dota 2.
-- Techies disabled in Captain's Mode. (Available in all other modes, including Ranked All Pick)

I was wondering the same thing myself, its not too terribly hard to check though. dotabuff has all the TMM teams and ranks, so if you felt like crunching a metric butt load of number then its certainly possible. (Personally I'm hoping someone else knows )

It can't be exact but it might be close.

Theres like 2 pages of teams below 1.2K and 20 pages of teams above 4500 though so I find it hard to believe it's exact lol. I'm guessing it includes the skew for 5-stack.

Or maybe people below 1.2k just don't find the idea of competitive dota enjoyable and would rather do glorious battle against bots. While significantly more decent players want to have an outlet for playing actual team games..

That's probably because people in the top 1% are far, far more likely to be interested in TMM than people in the bottom 10%.

Well theres 100 pages of teams in the top 5% of players. That actually doesn't sound THAT unreasonable iunno. 1/8.5 = like 12% of teams in top 5% of players.

(850 pages of teams)

I guess theres also the fact that some players are on like 6 ranked teams.

Define "a good game" is a hell of a task


mexican standoff counterpick bs at the start of the game already ruins the game.
players picking random as 4rd or last pick also can ruin the game (picking random first or 2nd is fine)
just starting with a disadvantage because of picks (counterpick, fotm pick, tryhard combo picks with no chance to ban) (assuming equal skill) is really annoying.

In which case it's stupid for TMM to be using solo MMR like that.

If only the top 1% are playing TMM, then their TMM rating should be spreading out over the entire MMR range, not compressed into the top % that they represent.

I mean, I was just explaining a possibility.. I think we all know the entire TMM system needs a rework.

A good game for me, is when in basketball the game is decided by a buzzerbeater, or in overtime. I can play shit but there is tension, the longer it drags on, the fatter i get, the more i feel the need of winning. I am not competitive at all, i just enjoy good games. But games i most enjoy are the buzzerbeatergames, where both teams are just ridiculous and 1 action of 1 player breaks the equilibrium, so awesome i dont even have to win or play good to enjoy the match afterwards

#buzzerbeatergames man!!!
