How does MMR Calibration work? in General Discussion

    Just played DOTA bout 2 days ago after quitting HoN. Just wondering how does the MMR calibration work here. Is it based on your win rate?
    Also I would want to know how much MMR I'd end up with. TIA!!

      it is based on multiple factors that can be summarized as "skill", or in other words - how well you perform. winrate doesnt reflect it tho, but you are doing fine - your matches are consistently in vhs, and u r doing well and not being deadweight for your team.
      Your future mmr will be 4k something, I'd say.

          Thank you! Still have a lot to improve on. And still a long way to go til I reach level 13. Is 4k considered low? Or just average?

          TripleSteal-

            average is smthng like 2750-3000 i guess, 4k is gut.
            but 5-6kk players will still look to you as if u were shit xD

              gonna have to aim for 5k then. XD thanks again dude

                there still will be ppl considering u trashcan then, too, believe me ^_^
                and they will be sort of right, it's just the question of perspective

                  I moved from hon like end of 2013. Was 1850 MMR. MMR didnt come to dota for a little while and when it came out I started at 3.6k or something, now I'm at 5.0k.

                    If u have any high skill games after 10 matches there is a low chance u will calibrate above 4k

                      HON player, nice 😀 youd fit right in, since HON plays at a faster pace and the current meta is more on the fast pace side. Had dat time where i played HON as well before coming back to doto 😀

                      And, if u retained dat KDA mentality in HON, dat will help ya a lot too in doto 😀

                        @King of Low Prio I started playing with my friends that has around only 2k+ ish mmr. Does that affect my solo MMR or skill rating?

                          it will not effect your solo mmr, the only way that can go up or down is by playing solo. It will change your general skill level though, you will get less points for winning with them and more for losing.

                                Uncertainty + Bracket skill
                                Example ; If you have high Uncertainty And High skill bracket and if you win as much as you can in 10 games calibrate you can get more than 3.8k

                                Higher uncertainty leads to larger MMR adjustments after each match, and lower uncertainty leads to smaller adjustments.
                                New accounts with few games played tend to have high uncertainty, while older accounts with many games played tend to have low uncertainty.

                                  It doesn't work, that's why it functions

                                      Anyone of you had any experience not having any EXP/Battle Points after a match? I don't receive any points and I'm only level 5. And no, I am not on the low priority pool

                                            can someone look at my profile too. calibrating level 12. what u think my average mmr?

                                            No giggities?

                                              ^ I'd say 3.2, 3.3, you only have 53 % winrate in normal

                                              k1wee

                                                is it about the winrate? im very confused in every blog because if u check my records i got a good gpm hero damage tower damage etc..
