    Hi, ladies and boys. How you doing?

    I know nobody cares but here we go. Im from Argentina, playing in SA servers, i always been reading this forum a passive way, i can say i know you a little bit.

    Where are you from ?

    Is anyone involved with dota 2 other than playing?

    The idea of this topic is to ppl feel free to ask or comment anything about MMR.

    I'll start with some question about it.

    Reciently, i had played Normal ranked games and Ranked roles. I found a difference playing normal ranked within the rank people who were playing.
    I mean, first game found ppl under my rank, and then people higher than my rank.

    Is there a huge difference with the ppl who plays ranked role and other normal ranked?

    I mean, is there two kind of ppl ? What do you guys think?

    Thanks for reading, hope you'll enjoy this topic!

    Greetings

      These kinds of semi-normal posts are very rare at this degenerate forum lol

      Do some people really still play classic ranked? Im pretty sure almost everyone plays role ranked nowadays

      Tapped for posterity <3

        Too broad a question
        There are clearly people who are 5k playing on their smurfs on ranked games who you can TELL they're monsters at first sight because even if you pressure their entire map they somehow manage to keep a 800 GPM as a core being completely out of map
        And there are people who are terrible at like 99% of the heros but got one hero they play incredibly well and you'd think they'd rank up but somehow they're stucked

        And there's also people who are incredibly dogshit or bad but they just don't play enough to tell what their REAL rank should be, honestly it's too broad of a question and it's also fairly irrelevant as most people who are good at dota by now either quit or just play ability draft very sparingly

        At least from my experience most monster players quit in the span of 2016 to 2019, roughly, and the rest somewhat play ranked roles. Some of them came back for a while during corona but that's it

          Hi Mic, i think is rare because there already are a community who supports that kind of post, we can live together. Dotabuff always been a reference point and entertainment, also helps a lot of ppl with the stats.
          Otherwise, yes, there are still people who plays ranked normal. I mean, i tried because i was watching Timado's stream were he was playing normal ranked. It delayed a few minutes to find a game, but it worthed, good lvl and kindness.

          Braian damaeg, in some way it is true, i know ppl who was a beast and they just leave the game.. they log sometimes to play a few pubs and then quit again. I think that is a problem from the Dota 2 Headmasters. I mean, if dota would appreciate more dota 2 players feedback, maybe the community could be another
          PD: I never played any kind of AD, or some game ingame, im a classic boy playing dota 2 ranked with a few of accounts, now im trying to get higher this one.

          Does anyone played dota 1? i was a really good one in my times hehe xD

            Well you are late with your thoughts just a couple of years. :p They did listen to community …. on reddit. Everything that made the game noob friendly was because of reddit whining like highlighting pull camp radius or tower range radius, stun duration bars etc. What I dont like the most is making it less worth to actually farm than killing people. Back in the days if you had good macro play, you could win the game without getting involved in fights much.
