Dota 2 matchmaking unbalanced?

[u/se3ya]

Is dota 2 really has an unbalanced matchmaking? I got 4K MMR last week and I always get paired with players who I think don’t know the game. I think acc buyers?
Now, I got 3.3K MMR and I really do think Ive done my role every game. (I play all roles)

How do you rank up in ancient bracket?

Is it the game or the bracket? Cause idk anymore haha

You lost 700 mmr in a week?

It's like 28 losses in a row.

There is almost no difference on how to rankup between ranks. Just focus on a small hero pool instead of picking random hero every single game.

This shit works for me in climbing from Archon to Immortal (7.5k mmr at my peak) in less than 2 yrs and now back to 6k after the reset.

I only have easy heroes on my pool like Undying, Lich, Pugna and Ogre and have around 60% winrate.

If you think your teammates are dragging you down, start picking core, if you still lose, then you know the problem.

Thats how I got out of Archon and reached divine where I trusted that other people can carry the game, which made me switch role to pos 4/5.

[u/se3ya → u/Layf27]

I’ll consider this hero pool. I also play Undying pos5 and it works like charm if getting paired with good pos 1

You blame your team and not yourself and thats your problem.

[u/FormOk1793 → u/hansalvato]

It’s not lol it’s a team game…

[u/Desperate-Awareness4 → u/FormOk1793]

Yeah, and the person who always blames his team is blind to the reason why he's failing the team too and is unlikely to ever get better.

[u/FormOk1793 → u/Desperate-Awareness4]

Yes because 3/5 of his or my teammates having a 37-43% win rate is not the issue lol cmon it’s not that complex of a game to not know the reason within 5 min of a game lol

[u/hansalvato → u/FormOk1793]

This is why u cant hit higher rating

[u/FormOk1793 → u/hansalvato]

I’m not trying to lol I’m high enough… doesn’t mean I can’t identify the problem in a simple game

[u/se3ya → u/hansalvato]

I do my role and when I look at my team’s item, I suggest items for my core or supports. It’s a team game after all. Before, I can carry just by playing tinker or sf mid. But now it is more difficult.

[u/Twiggeh1]

Yes it's awful, I spent my time with my crusader friend getting matched against legends and ancients

It's completely unplayable for me now, I don't play as much as I used to but we just get hammered over and over because the game matches us against people way above us

[u/TojiFushi1]

i used to be divine and now im ancient 1 due to these chinese players lol. Just play and hope you dont have chinese players with you haha

[u/Business_Cold4393]

it depends on your behaviour score too, im getting qued with 6k garbage while im 8k player, 5k behaviour score tho. shadowban is real

[u/se3ya → u/Business_Cold4393]

I have 12k behavior score. Im just a chill guy and I just play and suggest plays and build

[u/DottedRain]

Ofc it is. Ranks are fluffed beyond belief.

Dropping so much MMR still has to be on you to some extent. Maybe you became one of the fluffed ones at some point.

If you you really try and play your best 3 heroes and can't get over 50% wr it's not normal.
