    So yeah.
    ...
    I have 10 matches to calibrate my mmr....
    Does anyone in high skill bracket want to party up?

    Also, please give me advice. Most of my games are normal skill, but knowing I have to a chance to fix my fucked up mmr....
    I should avoid calibrating for now until some high skill games are spammed... right? Right???

    What should I do?

    I'm like full of excitement right now, but I will die if I calibrate too low :blush:
    I know I'm almost ready. I think I should wait out the international ranked a few days to let all the noobs die out so I don't get sent to hell somehow...

    Idk.
    Fuck.
    Speechless at this opportunity...

    dunce

      U are 1 of the noobs u are talking about

        TripleSteal-

          do you have an opportunity to start ur re-calibration right now?

          monkeybiotics

            if you have the compendium then yes

            nami

              recalibration is pointless for anyone mid 5k and above anyway triplesteal

                u played 3k games already, yet no ranked match. o.0

                  Yes, TripleSteal I do.

                  u played 3k games already, yet no ranked match. o.0

                  I have, but still, I'm nervous because if I clibrate I'm pretty sure now is not a good time since my unranked games are mostly normal skill right now.

                  TripleSteal-

                    im looking forwards to see how this system gonna work

                          so is it capped at 5k or not? nami said its pointless for mid 5k and above but if the cap is ~5000 then its pointless for anyone 4800+, man it's going to be so sad if the cap is higher.

                          MARLAN

                            its pointless if the cap is 5k i dont even know why they would cap it.

                            it's not a fresh account.

                            just lock this feature to people who are already ranked and then have no cap.

                            MAXIMUM EFFORT!

                              i cant believe this demon dont wanna go to hell

                                This is actually amazing, we probably won't see any of the weaboo compendium buying retards in normal rmm.

                                      Using compendium we can calibrate again? Wtf is this

                                        New system, same game ruiners...

                                        Game one of new calibration, Storm rage quit after 7th death in about 11 mins.

                                        Filthy

                                          So we can recalibrate our mmr ? Not a fan but will prob have to do it , mmr will probs be inflated on a lot of people

                                          Dikson

                                            Does anybody knows how this calibration work. My first game was average 3000 MMR although my solo RMM MMR is 3700. After i won a stomp with 11/2/14 and 580 GPM, 618 XPM as offlaner my next game was again 3000 MMR average. I was expecting something like 3.3k MMR average. Why it did not risen?

                                            antilluscrassus

                                              because they wait for the 10 matches I think it's a different system from normal calibrating matches

                                              [Lk].Zano

                                                Aren't you already 5k+ Guiri? Or are you doing those matches to lower your MMR and play ez games for a while? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

                                                HartzFear

                                                  What a Joke.. After 2 games with almost 70k hero dmg togther and 750 gpm average My 3rd game was 3.3k mmr whats more than 1k less as my normal Rating

                                                    Interesting. I'm nervous to test it since it would be utter bs if I got to a lower bracket, but lately in pubs I have been paired with people with 3.5k and up

                                                    Pretty sure the average is around normal skill though.

                                                    I'm not sure what will happen, all I know is I want someone in at least high skill bracket to recalibrate with me. A bump from 2.7 pmmr to 3.5 or so pmmr is very easy and doable and very awesome to me.

                                                      dont fret newbs it doesnt work. the most u wil do is calibrate 100-200 MMr higher. It pairs u with people at ur current level so 10 games it calibrates u at that level. So 10 bucks for 200 MMr. Valve gets ppl again

                                                          This new international ranked queue is interesting, buts it's also confusing.
                                                          I wonder what happen if a 6.3k player plays international ranked queued is 5k the cap? Or is it possible to get 6.5k+?
                                                          Something I am interested to find out

                                                              Haha yeah I've seen his streams too lol

                                                              Welp, time for me to get out of this low prio for being toxic and get some quests and challenges and All-Hero Challenges done so I can recalibrate *hyperventilates*

                                                                Isn't the international ranked match take your unranked mmr to calibrate?
                                                                For example if 2 years ago your unranked mmr is 3.5k and after calibration you got say, 3.7k ranked mmr. You rose all the way to 5k. But for this international ranked, it will still calibrate from your previous 3.5k unranked isn't it?

                                                                < blank >

                                                                  KAEL

                                                                    Akeel

                                                                      Lets do Science

                                                                        I highly doubt he's gonna get past 4k calibration. He consistently plays in Normal skill with only a few high / vhs games sprinkled about, which are more than likely higher mmr friends playing with him. Really the only good thing about this recalibration thing is that you'll get less idiots trying to do their quests in normal ranked and ruining games for people who want to actually play dota.

                                                                          Speak English, Pick Stuns

                                                                            Hopeless

                                                                              you have to play another 30 matches to be able to switch your mmr.

                                                                              in 40 games, you will end up at the same mmr you were at before

                                                                                >tfw no gamer girl peeing gf

                                                                                  International Ranked pros:

                                                                                      TT

                                                                                          Just forget about it. Games are total trash, unbalanced, and also I have played 4 international ranked games so far and in games there were leavers. Basically im now playing the other remaining games to see my new mmr.. But I bet it will be lower then my current mmr. And that only, Because valve is unable to ban leavers and give the opportunity for people in a leaver team to delete the game session so that such things don't fuck up your mmr calibration.

                                                                                          DeKänischa

                                                                                                DeKänischa

And no use playing if u havent played any high or very high skilled ranked or unranked games its not gonna calibrate. and the queue for international and normal ranked is mixed.
