Ancient 3 3750 MMR ?? Thanks valve?? in General Discussion

    Juat calibrated this smurf at 3750 solo (no team party games played) and I got ancient 3 67%??

    I was expecting ancient 1 at best but legend 5 was what I was fully expecting.

    I am NOT good. I'm probably going to settle at 3300 where my main got stuck.

    Just seems kinda weird that it gave me that medal when it's pretty well established that ancient 3 is about 4300 MMR.

      Well I had Ancient 3 at 2% with 4200MMR.

        told you that mmr calibration is more relaxed than you thought. It is up to 4999 again

          i hit ancient 1 at 4150

          GoDota2.com

            with dota + ? or nah

                are u using dota + or not?

                  i believe ancient 3 should be more than 3750.

                    I playes 100 games then bought dota plus and then calibrated solo

                      Worth noting that I had calibrated a smurf at 4400 in the past. So oddly enough ancient 3 should be right around there according to charts. Probably a coincidence but then again there may be more to medals than previously thought.

                        i hope recalibration works good on you next season kappa

                          Assuming the game considers medal value to be determined by MMR of holders, then with ~93000 ancient 5 players (the odd peak from boosters/drops from bought accounts) assuming 30% of the medal holders are boosted/bought or calibration was generous and drop to 3500 MMR and that ancient 5 is indeed 4600 MMR it drops the value required for the medal to ~4300 for it.

                          If that's how it works it explains it & they better change the system.

                            I got ancient 1 at 3328 .. hellyeah

                                I learned just recently about how the Medal calibration system works (from an article somewhere), that it actually hold on to what's your peak performance was (highest assessed) in that particular season.

                                Let say, at some point of calibration you reached Ancient 1 (without you knowing about this, but the system does calculated it), and then you keep losing the next remaining games, you will not drop to Legend 4 or 5 despite your actual MMR does dropped around there. The system would still keep your highest assessment, and shows you the Ancient 1 medal at the end of the calibration.

                                This behavior remains consistent throughout the season (after calibration), though it's might be arguable, but I've seen many cases of it. People lost about 2~4 games at some point, and then they won 1 (JUST ONE) of the next game, and suddenly their medal is updated higher by 1 star. This is presumably because the system reads and calculate his/her skill values at that time, where it reached higher points, so the medal updated (it always shows you the highest assessment) regardless of the actual MMR points of the said players.

                                  I find your theory makes sense but there is one hole and that is: How am I still able to gain % towards next medal from far below that threshold?

                                  Just won my last match and went from 67 to 83% (quite a jump). If what you say is true then I should have not increased in %.

                                    What revyrain said is definitely true, I calibrated archon 5 on my smurf with 3100 mmr, had an amazing game with LC then got promoted to legend 2 at 3200 still. I guess they rated my performance to be that of a legend 2 and gave me the rank but no way in hell am I a legend player cuz I can't reach legend on my main , still slowly climbing archon ranks.

                                    T- GOD

                                      i bought dota+ 1 month subscription and played ranked role & i reached ancient 2 with a cap of 3600 in this smurf account

                                      you can reach divine 1 just in 4200 with dota plus

                                          Intentionally smurfing -> ip ban.

                                            I'm with ya. The crusader to archon are the homes of smurfer.

                                            ?
                                            ?

                                              Try to calibrate your party, your % will be gone in an instant.It's a bug ya'll its like adding your party mmr to your solo.Idk i hope you get my point.
