        Your solo can still be 3.7k+ if you're consistently vhs. Your party will be sub 3.2k

                            My question is, do you think its easier to raise unranked or ranked mmr?
                            I'm (4k) currently helping and advising two IRL friends who are picking up dota. They are 200 matches in and tend to have really good moments though they are still learning. They really want to play ranked however they both unranked solo queue into normal skill bracket. in addition to this when we try to queue for ranked as a party, it says the skill range is too high and wont let us. The mmr range limit from what i read is 2k making them less than 2k mmr unranked. My question is, do you think its easier to raise unranked or ranked mmr? Currently ive been telling them not to go ranked because i think it may be harder to increase.

                              You are mostly correct, with the exception of max mmr achievable through calibration, it's 4999, not 4.5k, the highest i achieved after calibrating cap change was 4976, before that , when mmr was first introduced i got 5.4k after calibration

                                Personally, I think ranked would be more effective as you can see what rank you're at and know where you are and how you're progressing.

                                @Mid Lane Abuse

                                Yeah I've been corrected before but I forgot to change it haha

                                  salza please rate my profile what do you thnk ill get on calibration im near to unlock my rank match

                                  Seoulmate

                                    It's hard to tell as you have all the skill brackets on your profile. And I can't discern which matches are party as opposed to solo.

                                      ranked = party
                                      normal = solo

                                      Seoulmate

                                        I expect you to be a low very high skill if that makes sense. 3.6-3.8 for sure

                                              Can you guess my mmr?
                                              I improved alot and im consistently in the VHS bracket...All games are solo

                                                I don't see why you have to ask my opinion for what your rating is when you can see all your games are very high skill. You know you're going to get atleast 3700. And if you deserve more than that, you'll climb very fast

                                                  What are the cutoffs for these skill brackets?
                                                  Normal Skill - you suck
                                                  High Skill - you suck
                                                  Very High Skill - you probably suck
                                                  Keep in mind that your ranked and unranked matchmaking ratings are not correlated, therefore, you may play at a very high skill level in unranked, but still be placed in high skill matches in ranked since your MMR is trash.
                                                  Why do some of my matches not contain skill brackets?
                                                  If you just played the match, you should give it a few minutes to load the skill bracket, it usually appears in a much shorter time than that though. However, the Dota API will only label a match if it is 100% sure of the skill of the match using their algorithm, if not sure, no skill bracket will appear. However, Dotamax will always give a skill bracket if you deem it necessary to find a specific games skill.
                                                  What will my MMR be after calibration?
                                                  The easiest way to predict your mmr is to look at your recent matches skill brackets.
                                                  - If your solo queue matches you're playing tend to be in normal skill, you should expect to be absolute dogshit.
                                                  - If your solo queue matches you're playing tend to be in high skill, you should expect to be absolute dogshit.
                                                  - If your solo queue matches you're playing tend to be in very high skill, you should expect to absolute dogshit.

                                                    Very High Skill - you probably suck

                                                    probably?

                                                                              I've played vs people with 4k solo mmr in unranked normal skill mmr games before on my smurf as an example.

                                                                              Seoulmate

                                                                                That's been in the post since the very beginning.

                                                                                              Ive decreased alot but my skill is still vhs :)

U need to have good k/d/a, hero and tower dmg, gpm,xpm,cs and hero healing(if u play support/healer) compare too all players in the game. I know lots of things about dota 2 system, but english is not my native language so i cant explane all those things better then this.
