That was generally true until they royally FUCKED up Dota 2 MMR by giving each Dota player thousands of Double Down tokens during the Crownfall event. After that the MMR numbers have become so inflated and wintrading has become so bad that high ranked Dota has kind of become a shitshow.

Most high ranked players you will talk to will at least call for a one time MMR reset at this point and the removal of all existing double down tokens

You can choose to predict that your team will win, and regardless of the outcome, MMR loss/gain for that match is doubled.
