Maybe u havent played a lot of ranked and have shit ton of unranked games so ur ranked mmr is lagging behind ur actual skill level.

The total lack of 3k+ players in his ranked matches, with his median unranked opponent at 3.5k+, shows that his unranked skill rating is considerably higher than his MMR. He can confirm that by checking which of his games/replays are flagged as 'High skill' or 'Very High skill'; a ranked game full of 2.5k players being flagged as VHS is unheard of. If your ranked games are all Normal, but you get into Very High skill games in unranked, you have a skill gap. | ||

So ranked mmr doesn't mean jack. | ||

I'm 5k ranked and when i play unranked I mostly: 1-Try new heroes or combos 2-Experience builds 3-Play odd lanes 4-Have fun and not try much 5-get matched with 3ks A LOT. Thats probably because I havent played unranked much compared to ranked and as people have said you tend to "LAG" in one of the two MMRs you have, because you usually main one queue. Anyway you should think too much of a 4k NP cliffjunging, since he CAN WELL GET TO 4k by just cliffjunging. | ||

This assumes that eveyrone's unranked MMR is accurate except yours, and also assumes their profile ranked MMRs are accurate as well. The better assumption is that everyone's unranked MMR is junk, including your own. | ||

The better assumption is that everyone's unranked MMR is junk, including your own. He can do better than that due to his circumstances, since the highest MMR he ever sees in Ranked is lower than the lowest MMR he sees in unranked. If it were an issue of junk MMR, but without any actual skill skew between his two sets of opponents, he'd see errors in both directions in unranked games; he'd frequently be matched with or against players with much lower MMR than his own. | ||

http://www.dotabuff.com/players/125848928 All of the party ranked games were with kufly, so look for those for examples. Was there anything that I did that was just terrible and easy to solve? | ||

Silence disabling passives would be unintuitive because what other game in which the silence debuff exists does it disable passives? The intuitive gaming understanding of "silence" is "prevents spellcasting", and there's no reason to change this unless there's a significant improvement to gameplay on a fundamental level. | ||

any 'natural' qualities of the character would still be available as a result since they are innate instead of uttered/conjured through specific words/phrases spoken out loud. | ||
