My theory is (if i'm Valve) to compare you across all Necro players playing that position. I'm not talking about just KDA ratio but every single thing you do in the game: stuff you buy, participation, warding, farming, creep block, pings... Imagine where you have a giant spreadsheet of EVERY single little thing in every single necro game for every single player in a patch. with that amount of data, i can predict anyone's necro skill by compared him to his peer in 10 games. I don't need to know who your peers are, i just want to know how you are doing against other necro player in their MMR. It may not be 100% accurate because talent/sixth sense abilities can't be tracked but pretty damn close. This is a reason why Valve will never wipe player history and MMR. It will take them years again to build up the foundation for the MMR. I don't disagree that MMR from valve is flawed but they will never wipe the slate clean, ever. So seasonal MMR like other games will never be implemented in dota.
So in the end, just do your best and play like you meant it.
I do agree somewhat but I just feel that I'm not doing enough with certain heroes. I do play every game as best as I could but if I only just deal damage and get a high KDA with a hero like riki I just feel that a hero like necrophos has more impact with the same stuff (KDA, XPM and GPM).
I just want to be as efficient as I can with my hero picks as I close in on calibrating games.

Maybe learn to play instead of trying to cheat the system? 2k will be 2k even if it calibrates higher. Higher you abuse, harder you fall.
If you just want a high number do yourself a favour and just buy an account and save yourself 100hrs.

1. I just wanted to clarify first if hero healing and hero damage are both factored in calibration. Should I just go for heroes that deals more damage or go for both healing and hero damage (Necrophos).
2. I'd also like to know if a mix of hero healing and hero damage is better than just a high hero damage in a game. Do they just add up into a collective stat or something? (HH+HD+TD)
eg.
Riki with 21k hero damage
vs
Necrophos with 16k hero damage and 5k hero healing
Both 4 KDA ratio and 560 gpm 600 xpm.
Which would get a better credit in the ranking system?
3. Lastly, is KDA ratio much more important than gpm/xpm? If I dealt a lot of hero damage and got something like a 8 KDA ratio would a 500 gpm and 500xpm matter that much anymore?
