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.

Are people finding ranked matches without getting max search range? I have AP turned off and every single one of my matches so far has been max search range leading to large discrepancies in skill level between players. I am not complaining that my team is worse or anything, the other team obviously has an equally large range of skill in their players so most games come down to hoping that the lowest skilled player on your team doesn't go mid against the highest skilled player on the opposite team. Honestly I had more fun just matchmaking (very high bracket) before Ranked was a thing. The search time was faster and the players within the teams were closer in skill level.

How Ranked MMR will be calculated? Only in these 10 qualifying games? Or on previous games and these 10 games?


if i understand it correctly they take ur old hidden MMR and adjust it "a bit" after 10 games. That means that a scrub like me can not start out with dendiMMR.. in ranked matchmaking after winning 10 - 0...... grumblegrunble
however then it is just stupid, because how these 10 games can really change MMR, if i have 3k games :D It only can be fuken hard changing MMR by these 10 games

By changing you uncertainty, making it easier to change your future MMR. But more importantly, why does it need to be easy to change your MMR? You have 3k games, the system should have a good idea of how good you are. If you start winning games you are supposed to lose or the other way around too often, you uncertainty increases and your MMR adjusts anyway.

That's all is ok. Ranked MMR and Default MMR are different things. Volvo can just use Default MMR as initial Ranked MMR without 10 qualifying games these can change a bit MMR.


I dont know Valves reasons but it could be there are alot of trollgames inbetween the games. Each time i played a carry/gankerhero would be a troll game for me. It would infect my data in a way that it could i.e. stall true MMR (putting good players in bronze and maybe even bad players in masters). So, in general, if u want a good as possible mmr, these 10 games can get u where u belong faster. But the above is all speculation (and maybe a bit of truth mixed in).

How many placement matches did you win?


I think I went 6-4.

Its even worse for me going 2-8 in matches and getting 4200 rating. On top of that i lost some matches on my own trying out that new hero who i am bad with apparently.
Actually i was content with a low rating so i could ascend the ladder.
Since im only on page 10-20 right now in live matches more or less i would guess the top players have 5000+ rating.

The smaller number of variable you pick, the longer the queue takes. For instance if ur only searching CM and CD on USE, you will take way longer on average than most because most of the ranked players atm are just playing AP to get their 10 games done as fast as possible. Once the system has been in a while, more and more will move to CM and CD and ur queue times will shorten somewhat. If you add more servers or more mode options, ur queue will go down but you will be playing a lot of AP ;p

I've actually found that queuing all 3 i get roughly 1/3 of each game type, which isn't so bad and exactly what you would hope for statistically ;p

im picking properly too, usually i just random every game. But i'm just waiting to see what my tam pick to round out the team now, which seems to be the best thing. I'm not try harding, just being intelligent, now that it actually matter a little whether i win or lose and whether my team perform well

Silly ranked ladder for some imaginary "points"? Sure I wouldn't be surprised if they fucked around. Most pros do just fuck around half the time on ladder because they can pull it off.

A serious tournament with money and reputation on the line? Nah they'd probably pick mostly serious but we can clearly see even there that some teams decide "we want to just have some fun this game".

At the same time the ranked matchmaking ladder is now the most competitive mode accessible to the average player, so I'm not surprised if people go into there with the intent to pull out TI4 winning compositions and what not.

Oh I'm sure there's a good % that will take ladder more seriously than normal unranked, but my point was its rather common even in "serious ladder mode" to find people good enough they want to try something weird or new that might interest them. It even happens in pro tournaments with huge money on the line, I'm sure it would happen in a free realm.

Huh, my experience with ranked so far is pretty good. Nice people playing well. And I was queueing with a front-page-game guy, so I was way out of my depth. They were still forgiving of my mistakes.
