I thought it was just a bug for partying with high mmr friends. I guess Valve listed me on the next smurf ban list
I can actually send you some screenshots of my match history and feed that shows 4 games within the same day and 4 rank ups
https://imgur.com/p7NdkJp my dota feed and you can actually see my match history here so there you go how did that happen?
yep I lost that alche game but still ranked up then I got +80 all 3games now I lost AM game but no -mmr
There is smurf bonus and u can get some +200 mmr per game. Meanwhile smurf do not get -200 if lose just normal -20
Valve has problems to get enough new players so they did implement smurf bonus to get more smurfs to keep the game "alive"

it varies on your party I think
i got +30 core +40 supp
how do you even know about it mulli
i played on archon smurfs
i had 30 wins and 2 loses, they banned me for boosting mmr but never gave me higher mmr gain to reach my skill lvl
smurf bonus is for fresh accounts
yesterday i was playing 5 man with crusader and legends i was getting +80-100
now im playing with 1 archon and legends with 1 ancient 5 i only got +30
i had 30 wins and 2 loses, they banned me for boosting mmr but never gave me higher mmr gain to reach my skill lvl
Imagine being banned for actually playing well.
Smurf bonus is real. See http://www.dota2.com/news/updates/58435 and https://imgur.com/a/1H5l949
it says "potential smurf accounts" not "potential smurfs"
if you play on dogshit account with 50% winrate and u manage to win 90% -> u are boosting (probably others) -> banned
if you play on smurf account with 70% winrate and u manage to keep winning->u are boosting (probably your self) -> u gain bonus
obviously op account is not smurf account

1 game with same party same plus on mmr. My theory is the bonus depends on your party based on the screenshots
Valve really have problems to get enough new players so they try to get old players to make new accounts :D
this is not a new account. I got it from someone here on dotabuff also when I was asking for a smurf account.
before me the old user had like 500-600 first. I think when your stats suddenly jumps thats when Valve will notice you and give you the bonus

Is there any way to see the mmr changes? I've played 3 games and in all those 3 games I ranked up 4 times. Twice in each Core and Support. I'm in a 5 man party with my friends. I'm pretty sure i gained +200mmr in just 3 games. how did this happen?
