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. | ||

Also players above 4k still do so many dumb things, I have to agree on that only 5.5k is good thing. Love the mmr system in dota though, if you were actually that good it would take you less than a day to get close to that from 3.2k, for sure. | ||

It seems like it takes quite a streak for the uncertainty to ramp up, so you'd have a lot of +25 games. I think 1 day might be a bit optimistic, since it's hard to fit much more than 20 games in a day. | ||

I imagine if a 5k player started playing on a 4k account, he would be back at 5k in under 30 games, easily. Of course I don't have a souce for that. doesn't work like that. there only is smurf detection on the first games on a new account. mmr goes up pretty quickly when you're winning more than losing though! just figure out who to play ranked with and who not to play ranked with when you're in a party. i don't know about solo, haven't finished my calibration games. i wish they would add a solo queue option again. the match making is a lot better now though! i haven't played with people from a certain country that pretty much everybody in eu thinks need a region lock in a long time. in ranked that is. unranked feels like there isn't even a mmr anymore. | ||

How do you know smurf detection only works in the first games? I never seen it mentioned anyway. And you people need to be reasonable... If you region lock the game AND bring back solo queue option just count the amount of separate player pools. Ranked, Unranked. Both divided between solo queue and parties allowed. These region locked. And then divide these into different game modes. Yeah....enjoy your 30 minute wait times to get a decent game going. The high ranked players might not get a game in an hour with that system, or it would match players with ridiculously wide range of skill together. That system is awful. | ||

According to the Valve matchmaking post, if they think your MMR is wildly incorrect they'll reinstate calibration. I think that would probably only happen after a long streak. | ||

Might be 3 games, might be 20 for what we know. | ||

My supporting is better than my mid or carry but I lose a good percentage of my support games. Fails, feeds, blames etc.. 4K MMR is nowhere near what valve has stated. I've actually found supporting can be a lot more helpful because a lot of players know how to play mid or carry but very few know how to support correctly. Also, generally when supporting I can cause us to win 2 lanes, the lane I'm supporting and mid, as well as disrupting the opponents jungle. Of course this is all anecdotal evidence, but I find that I can win my fair share of games that I play by supporting. | ||

Plenty of players have gotten to the top of ladders playing exclusively support. Even players who are not necessarily support players like fear have done it on great success. at the top of the ladder, individual mechanics actually play less of a role while understanding and game sense are even more important | ||
