None of the trackers were actually getting Valve's value for hidden MMR (this isn't given to clients or available in any API), they just had their own form of MMR that was estimated based on the games they had seen. This isn't really ever going to be as accurate as an MMR system driven by the thing doing the matchmaking, and especially for tracklock I found the values to be extremely suspect. Valve also killed the way these trackers were viewing game data as of 3 weeks ago, so they are no longer useful or updated (at least until Valve creates an API for deadlock like it has for dota) | ||

Not to mention deadlocktracker and tracklock - the 2 existing tracking sites - gave different values XD | ||

I do think the hidden mmr exists tho. My matchmaking opponents are getting much more challenging to beat. | ||

Yes, hidden MMR exists and is used by the game for matchmaking (both for the teams/players in the match and also the lane matchups). That much has been confirmed by the devs in the official discord. | ||

Instead of starting urn runs, I intercept them. | ||

Yeah, it tries to balance the game such that evenly skilled players are matched up by lane (but obviously depending on who is in the game, this can be hard to do). If you queue with people of wildly different skill level you'll probably notice you end up in a lot of solo lanes and such. The devs had said a few weeks back that they were working on a new version of the matchmaker that would improve things a fair amount, not sure what changes they plan to make though (or if they're already in or something) | ||

I'm not good at this game, but it's very fun and addicting. | ||

I also like how big the balance patches are, rather than fine-tuning like it's close to the finishing line | ||

Doesn't matter how old the game is, a balance patch will change nearly every hero and nearly every item, and quite frequently he will also bring huge mechanical or map changes. They'll get less frequent though, right now we seem to get a balance patch every 2 weeks, that'll change as the game gets more polished. It'll be more like a season approach. | ||

It sure feels like icefrog balancing, but actual evidence isn't there yet. | ||

I've been playing Mcginnis a lot lately. She's not nearly as fun as Lash... but I can abuse the macro game with her. Non stop push and farm. Disregard 90% of what's going on with the team. And people underestimate the power of her turrets. | ||

Build purple and farm the map. Objectives get crushed. | ||
