Skill Level and MMR? in General Discussion
Wink

    No this is not me going "Oh my MMR is wrong", I am doing what I can to improve and raise it. This is a question for everyone about something that has been irking me for a while. When I was at 3500 MMR after finishing my placement games, my teammates were all English speakers and coordinated amazingly, infact I added the majority of them afterwards. This amazing spree of friendly and good players continued until I was at about 3800 MMR (You can even find a long winstreak on my profile where I was meeting these good players). As soon as I got close to 3900 though, I began to see what I was trying to avoid from normal MM, my teammates were speaking Spanish, they were flaming nonstop and saying "noob" to each other, they tried to go in 1v5, they stole runes, couriers, and already called lanes from each other.

    My question is, did anyone else see a drop in player skill level when going through RMM, or is this just because suddenly the trashbags are playing more ranked for some reason?

      for me it's same shit, some matches you get decent teammates (idc if u speak english i just dont want fucking griefers and autists in my team) and then you start getting butthurt kids who start griefing/afk'ng/crying in all-chat when i point out theyve made a retarded play

        My matches are pretty decent in South America. (4.6k solo and 5k party) I've never had an uber-thrower (actually the only time a thrower was on my team was on US east)

        Quick maffs

          Guys i have played in US and EU and i am 100 % sure that in EU people is way more retarded, my games in US are way better most of the time.

            ^sano @ 4k mmr in South America the server is a fucking hell, you'll only meet retarded stacks that will flame you for no reason and feed or spanish speakers who will also flame you and feed. will give a shot to SA again when i get to 4,5k ( also GL getting mid in solo q south america, most of my games there i had to dual mid cause of a retarded pudge picker who thinks hes got the right to mid even though i called it first lol)

            also i don't mean dedicated throwers, those i agree are rare, i mean people who start playing even worse when they get in an argument and doing stupid thinsg like stealing my items etc etc

              Just make a smurf, and you're going to have an extremely high hidden mmr, atleast on eu west. It took me and my friend 6 games to get in the same game as these guys http://dotabuff.com/players/114892751 , http://dotabuff.com/players/51823648 who arguably have over 5k in ranked
