Dota 2 MMR survey in General Discussion
Tiny gremlin

    Hello everyone,

    I need your help.

    I am trying to get a clear picture of player distribution at different MMR ratings. I would like to ask anyone who is ranked to participate in my survey. There are no questions and it's completely automatic.

    Just add any one of my bots:
    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198125301584
    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198125321828
    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198125326895
    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198125313847

    The bot will remove you once it's finished fetching your profile.
    Note: if you feel the links are unsafe just copy the id number at the end and paste into steamrep.com

          You won't have a clear picture of player distribution as it's more likely that higher mmr player will answer this survey.

                  It means you are in top 10% of the people who participated.

                      oh wait you're that reddit guy, why cant you make a website that collects rating and puts them up like a highscore?

                        I didn't expect 4960 to be that high in this kind of survey

                            its high because reddit players equates to the likes of relentless, bogitrash etc

                            Hopeless

                              because to collect the ratings he needs people adding the bots...

                                I can't read the ratings without someone adding a bot. The bots have limits to how much profiles they can view, imposed by Valve. It would be gimmicky to build a site around that alone, considering you have sites like dotabuff.

                                I expected much more players to respond, but so far it's a bit underwhelming.

                                  most dota 2 players are vaginas so it shouldnt surprise you If that wasnt the case we would have srs rebelion +1 long time ago when velve destroyed DBR but its okay because they were working on better system I cant even imagine better rating system than the one we have now it surpassed dbr at least tenfold

                                    The only major difference being that the Valve score does not easily allow someone to understand where they stand.

                                    What does 3k mean? What does 4k mean?

                                    DBR solved this, but the Valve MMR deliberately does not.

                                          Just look at the distribution on the matchmaking blog post, it is accurate for unranked. Above 3200 top 10%, above 4100 top 1%.
                                          It might be unbelievable, but consider how many players there are in Dota 2 . Anyone who has played has a rating. Imagine all those inactive accounts, couple of games only accounts, playing only vs bots, playing once a year etc etc. They are the majority and not surprisingly they have low rating. Even if they only count active accounts for the last month, the numbers are still massive and the majority is same.

                                            I guess I'm at the bottom of ranked MM, lol

                                                ur not at the bottom, it's just that most people who added the gremlim have high MMR

                                                Miku Fan

                                                  Only people with "high" MMR added the bots, because the low MMR people didn't want to be ashamed. I am 3700 and I am not ashamed, considering i have only played Dota 2 for a little under 2 years.

                                                      I wrote an article about matchmaking, which you might find interesting. Also, includes results from the survey so far.
