for the higher tier players (e.g.: streamers) it is not the case.

This is so fucking useful. A lot of the time I don't even mind playing whatever is needed, but in some games you're like "If I had known, I would've just instapicked core."

Yeah it's so useful actually, and I like that it doesn't show all the MMR's so the lowest guy doesn't insta flame.

low 5k players probably not so much though.

I think this change will help up and coming dota 2 players in the NA scene with loads of potential such as my favorite amateur player TheEmulator

ya but seriously I didn't ever expect Valve to make a change like this and I'm very curious to see whether it sticks.

i think its an experiment probably?

i don't know i gave up on ranked, the only way to climb for most peolpe is to just spam 1 hero you can stomp pubs on, mmr rapidly becomes more meaningless the higher you go, everyone's fucking terrible at this game anyways including me who fuckin cares

I'm sure that it's an experiment in that they have some kind of hypothesis that they're testing and criteria for rolling back the change (maybe based on the "rate this game" scores or something idk. or just whether reddit riots lol).

I'm very curious as to what they're measuring and how they're going to judge the experiment as a success/failure.

MMR is meaningless unless you care about how you are improving. Alur and Beesa get just as many shitty team mates as I do, just a different flavor of shit. The trench is just slow swimming up a river of poop to the promised land of Anime and yelling at your teammate to drop their stick.

Here's a secret about the trench

IT
NEVER
ENDS

the trench is everywhere. The trench is dota. There is no escape, your games and teammates never get better, and your mmr is a meaningless number once it hits like 5k.
