    Hi dota 2 players,

    Since I'm pretty new to this site I learned a lot of how to play some heroes (we'll I try to master 1, disruptor). I know I'm not a very good player, but I'm playing well along with the team. Sometimes slightly to obviously above average and sometimes slightly under average. I've been checking lately my matches asap on this site, but they won't show up that often in the "normal game" section. Does that mean I'm playing a lot of High to very high games?

    And what is the normal percentage of a normal game, a high game and a very high game? I've read different things like 50/50 but also 5 (vh), 15 (h) and 80 (n).

    Thanks in advance for helping a brother out.

      There is no longer any indication of skill bracket on this site.

        Since valve decided to hide even more stats you wont easily find out in which bracket you are anymore.

        I can tell you though, that you are deep down in the normal bracket, your far away from high and even further away from very high, im pretty sure you never had a high match, ever.

        Just keep improving and one day we will see you in the high or/ and very high bracket.

          You do know that you have 68% of your games in Normal bracket?

            ^ Lol what a tard, you can't trust sites like pubstats anymore, even they admit that. Cause vovo blocked all that info.

              But why aren't a lot of my recent games I played not visible in the normal section at the page matches?

              I absolutely don't think I'm a good player, tho I'm playing pretty decent last 2 weeks and improved a lot by changing my tactics with disruptor (I believe I have a winrate 60% last two weeks). And I had a couple of days ago a pretty good score (I was on a couple of winning spree's and had 75% winrate). I thought maybe I went up recently to a higher bracket, which levelled out my recent games of the last days. And again, I don't think I'm a good player in such a way I'm playing like a baws, but it would help a lot when you know when you've played a match in a higher league so you know what's the next step and if it was a hard to win match indeed.

                Pubstats still has all the matches before the change so only last month doesn't count there. Why would you call me a tard?

                Flimsy

                  Pubstats' info is the same as it was before Valve decided that they need to completely ruin the system we had.

                  As for skill distribution, I see a lot of tests showing that it's around 80/15/5. But I wouldn't pay too much attention to that. I mostly play in the Very High bracket now as solo, and I'd barely consider myself top 5%, as well as most other people. Maybe my standards are too high, or maybe Valve's system is just too shit.

                  Either way, if this is your main account, I'd focus on learning all the heroes rather than one specific hero. Perhaps doing good with 1 hero will artificially increase your MMR, but that isn't going to help you as a player when it comes to the entire game itself.

                    @Poroksi:
                    I currently play in very high bracket, this is my first account so my first matches are all normal bracket, which is pretty logical dontcha think?

                    How do i know that im playing in very high you may ask? Well the answer is easy! Tedious recent matches method of d00m, thx again volvo.

                    and @ Lars2TheV:

                    what the hell are you talking about.
                    -> "I played not visible in the normal section at the page matches?"
                    need to know what the hell your talking about

                    Also trust me, you not in high bracket, not even close. The lasthits, farm, itembulds and whatnot are so bad it hurts my brain just watching at it.
