General DiscussionWhen does skill ranking become stable on a new account?

Why the fanboy name is what im interested it? lel.

1-2 matches, not more or less.
steam tracks mmr on each account you login and rounds it up to prevent smurfs so new players can play and improve

I channel my favorite pro player into my smurf and listen to russian music while playing.

U are all wrong. Its never stable, you have a hiden mmr and the changes on it are bigger first games and then the changes become smaller gradually

well, it works same way as mmr, first games are calibration period, but i got no idea how long this period is for NMM.

My new account games:
-normal skill WIN
-very high skill LOSE
- high skill LOSE
-high skill LOSE
-high skill WIN
-high skill WIN
-very high WIN
-very high LOSE but i did perfect
-very high ABANDON cuz techies
-very high LOSE but i did perfect
-very high WIN
-vh win

There are no calibration games, after 50 games i lost some high skill and then got very high

^thats pretty weird

It was not only once, i got it on 2-3 accounts. After los but u do a 22-2 or aomething like that u can get on another skill lvl

it could mean that either calibration period is longer or it is just eternal :)

Yeah, i think its ethernal.

aahh, and after 4 intentional games i went from high to normal aswell
(that was on the games 130-134)

i dont mean to be grammar-nazi, but just in case: eternal and ethereal are different words, and they are spelled differently as well; you dont need "h" in "eternal".

ty!!! i like when people correct my english mistakes. Keep it up!

i feeded 2 games on a row i'm now on very high lets see if i go to high

3 GAMES ON A ROW FEEDING
I STILL VHS
MB THE SYSTEM HAS CHANGED

0-5 0-4 AND 0-10 AND STLL VHS LOL

ok 4 feeding games and sill very high, im confused and happy cuz im not high skill anymore ;DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

the 5 game were not feeding i did a 10-2-18 but, as i said, im so hapeeeeeeeee

In another account I had a High skill lvl where I only played Carrys. I switched to supports (making my gpm lower bla bla bla) and at the tenth game or so I was already at normal skill... I really think first 20 games do matter to stay at a lvl, but you need to keep up with it. I've decided to play only core heroes until I get to lvl 13 and have my MMR number, after that do whatever I want, explore other positions and so on.

I was normal skill once too.... I learned how to cook lasagna and do back flips. I've been in very high skill ever since.

I've lost respect for DKPhobos when a commentator kept calling him "Fbose" instead of the proper "foe-bows".
