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.

Your questions means Valve marketing didnt do a good job. People didnt want a number, they wanted something they could relate too like in starcraft. The number has meaning but it doesnt matter at all. Except give people that want to talk other people down (or up) a chance to do so. gj valve

Edit : If i have read correctly, the Numbers in the OP give u the % when MMR that was hidden before ranked matchmaking was introduced. Ofcourse alot of people also tested stuff out which caused static in there mmr. Chances are that good players that goofed around alot, will do that in unranked and not ranked. I think there rank will go up and others who never goofed around will go down eventually. So u will see some players drop pretty deep and rise steadily in there mmr.

yeah well, i did, and is says:


To give you a feel for the range of MMR, below are some MMRs corresponding to various percentiles.

5% 1100
10% 1500
25% 2000
50% 2250
75% 2731
90% 3200
95% 3900
99% 4100
[/quote]


but when ppl here says they're 5-6k that doesn't seem to be true..

I doubt that I'm really at the top 20-15% of dota players as 3000 would sugest by their stats... but then they also said


Note that this distribution is from normal matchmaking. We don’t know yet what the distribution will be in ranked matchmaking, but we expect it to be different. The players who participate in ranked matchmaking will be more skilled, more experienced players. We anticipate that any given player will have different expectations and play the game differently in ranked matchmaking compared to normal matchmaking.


So i think my question is valid. Does anyone actually know what the numbers mean right now?

With 6 million monthly players its not that hard to see how people who post about dota daily on TL could be top 1% (60,000 people) or higher. Which is also why people who post on TL can have inconvenient queue times when there are that few opponents of comparable skill across servers, languages, times and modes. Especially since most of those 60,000 players would be much better for example.

So basically for some reason you don't believe the OP but its the best we got. 5-6K mmrs are RARE but not at all impossible. People that good at dota are very likely to be invested in the game enough to participate in communities such as this one. You simply have to be good. I regularly queue with a 5.5k mmr player who legitimately thinks he is awful, and he is compared to some of his friends.

i'm not sure i understand you govie, are you saying you are getting +25 even if you lose?


Actually, in 2500 elohell u get more points for winning then losing It seems an average of 28 points for winning and 25 for losing when on a 5-2 ratio. i assume a loss does affect you as hard as in the higher regions. Most progress will be made in the earlier matches of #roadoutofelohell. I know that elo scales and when say, above 4000 u loose more points then u will gain with a win, or thats what i have read. But i typed lets be ignorant and see a positive side to this, If your winrate is above 50% in elohell u are getting out of there pretty fast because u gain more points from 1 win then from 1 loss.

I'm 5400 solo, and I so far I've lost an average of 24 per game, and gained an average of 22. Considering that I've only played about 20 ranked games that difference seems negligible. I think the gain/loss is based mainly on the predicted outcome of the match.

For example: On average my rating changes by about 23 per game. But when me and my friends met Virtus Pro, we lost only 11 rating, due to them being higher rated. Same thing when we played vs. a stack that were quite a bit lower ranked than us, where we only gained 9 rating.



So much casual brag in there

Well the point is if you're at where you should be (skill-wise) then the system should have you stay there. If you're better than your current mmr, then you'll win more than you lose.



Well thats my point, if the sytem goes for a 50-50 win ratio, then no you wont actually win more than lose. You will be at the same

@Excalibur - Im pretty sure they came out and said their system does not in fact enforce a 50-50 win rate as emulator mentioned. But still it leans toward that in alot of circumstances.

edit. fixed what i meant to say

I think you read what I said wrong maybe. I said valve stated they don't enforce it to be 50-50, but they explained as to why it might make people 50-50 on average.

ya it does adopt colour system, but parties sometimes mess it up, my every single game i was on blue or pink.
and i was checking other ppl's ratings in my games to check if it does follow it and yeah it does.
