    Bad title, not sure what to label it.

    Basically I play Normal Matches a lot (I've just overhyped Ranked too much and now I feel as if I should only play if I feel I will do my best), as a result of this I don't have a visible MMR other than Normal Skill, High Skill, and Very High Skill that is listed on Dotabuff. I seem to have a 50/50 chance of a match being categorized as Normal or High Skill. With like 7 VHS games. However I don't feel that this accurately reflects my winrate. My winrate is about 58.5% (might change when you read this), and I've held this winrate and in fact have made it go up steadily for a while. I feel as if I should have at least more than 50/50 and more like 30/70 of Normal/High Skill games. If you look your see I have a 0% Winrate in VHS, so i should clearly not be in that bracket. I'm just saying that it feels like I shouldn't frequent so many Normal level games.

    No real questions or requests, just kind of a venting type of thing, feel free to reply.

      you only have 52 games played in the last 6 months, it's quite probable that you're better than what your current hidden mmr is but if your games are mostly solo queue then it's just a matter of playing more often

        Your winrate is good, this is a sign of you progressing. If this is your first account don't worry about it, I will assure you that if you keep playing you will reach VHS in time. Please keep in mind that if you are 4k+, you are already better than 90% of the people (source: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2wjo81/725_of_all_games_are_in_normal_bracket_155_in/), some fail to remember that. In my games I usually get people with 2.5k-4.5k matches played, you are very far away from that. The only thing that's worrying is the amount of games you play, you probably have other things to do and I don't want to persuade you to play more, but it will just take more time for you to get to VHS bracket as opposed to someone who can play 8 games a day. Chin up, progress takes time.
