Overall it's exactly like the old system, except it gives us a shiny number to get a picture where we play. That's really all I wanted or needed from it. My friends and I mostly play all pick, we mostly random 3-4 heroes, don't give a fuck about counterpicking and have a grand ol' time. The only difference is the overall number that tracks our win/loss. I don't see myself ever playing non-ranked again, because I just don't see the point. | ||

Uhm i've had everything from someone picking another mid just before game starts and coming to mid when i'm there and refusing to leave, to russians picking faceless void vs something like a timber or qop and calling mid. So yeah this "if team is not retarded" is kinda true but for the most part.. there is at least one retard on your team. | ||

Just one thing I would like: to be able to judge what the shiny number actually means. | ||

Considering everything that goes into it, it means literally nothing because it can't physically account for the 100 plus factors that affect each individual player on a game to game basis. | ||

If rating meant nothing, 5 3k rated players would beat 5 6k rated players 50% of the time. | ||

So i have this friend that only plays tinker to farm rating because random pubs can't deal with tinker march spam. When i asked him if he wants to stack, he said he will stack again once he has 5k solo rating (currently at 4k with 80% tinker winrate). A couple others that used to random every single game now do the mexican counterpick standoff bullshit every time we play ranked. If i just random they are like "dude this ranked". | ||

I'm not sure about <5,5k but it seems to me that above 5,5k rating differences don't really matter much. There's only like what ~8 known people to have 6k and they don't really stand out compared to other players at 5,5k++. | ||

Let's say 5.5k is Grandmaster in sc2 to make it easy to compare. There is a big difference in Grandmaster and top grandmaster. And then there is a difference from top grand master to actually solid pros that does fairly well in tournaments. Then there is a difference between them and the pros who wins. Compare the bottom of NA grandmasters to the likes of Taeja Innovation etc and there is a massive difference. If you watch Sings stream, he's 6k+ and how often he destroys people mid even if they are 5.5k+. It is a huge difference in skill. | ||

I really think that 5.5k is some kind of breakpoint where rating doesnt correlate with skill anymore, i have several people in my friendlist who are (far) above 5.5k but are still a lot worse than your typical player on a tier1 team. Obviously they are still very very good compared to everybody else but nowhere close to a progamer. This phenomenon probably comes from the fact that dota is a team game and that soloqueue doesnt reflects skill as much as it does in SC2. | ||
