What does my mmr mean dota 2

A collection of thoughts and problems

In Part 1, we discussed the potential for inflation/deflation in Dota 2’s ranked matchmaking system. In part 2, we will discuss some other effects and weaknesses of such a system.

Before we really begin talking about inflation at the highest level of play, we need to look at what it really means for a player to have a MMR of 4.4k.

The most comprehensive analysis of what it really means to have a certain MMR comes from this reddit post. By calculating the differences in total team MMRs, he/she could derive a relationship between what Valve’s matchmaking system thought the win chance was and how it related to the difference in MMRs. This graph is the end result. Simply put, 1k MMR points would roughly translate to an increase in win rate of about 25% at the same level.

However, there are several problems with this system.

Firstly, it is currently unknown to us as to whether this ratio changes from patch to patch. If it does not, MMR inflation would be a problem. Certain patches are more stable than others, in the sense that the better team is more likely to win. Take the current patch 6.82c as an example. With the new comeback mechanic in place, teams that make mistakes are more heavily punished, so the better team is usually more likely to come out as the winner. It is difficult to produce real evidence (perhaps through some analysis of dota2lounge statistics this may be possible, but I lack the skills to complete this process), but 6.81 was a far more chaotic patch as compared to 6.82c, and underdogs were more likely to win, probably as a result of the lack of this new comeback mechanic. If we take this to be true, what it means is that a 200 point MMR difference would now translate to an increase in win rate of greater than 25%. This means that while you obtain 10 points, which would translate to an expected 80% win rate, you are actually having an expected 85% or maybe even 90% win rate. This change in patch has resulted in a scenario where higher MMR players are actually favored more naturally. As higher ranked players are rare, Valve’s matchmaking system often places them in games where the MMRs are skewed, oftentimes with their teams having the higher MMR, favouring them in this new, more stable patch. This allows for the higher ranked MMR players to climb even higher and contributes to inflation at the highest level of play.

This brings to mind another problem with the current MMR system. The current MMR system attempts to match individuals with close MMRs with each other, so most games are completely even with little variance. This completely breaks the MMR system and renders the expected win rates meaningless. If players are not constantly exposed to a situtation where there is a large difference in skill between the two teams, this 80% win rate nets you 10 points effect is irrelevant. If games with 1k skill difference are rare (they currently are), then the fact that valve assigns the winning team only 10 points almost never comes in play, so the relationship between the scaling of points and the win rate is not controlled by Valve, but by the distribution of player skill. This means that the previous work done by /u/Zenotha on reddit is meaningless as that merely demonstrates what Valve thinks a 1k MMR difference means and not what it actually corresponds to.

Of course, Valve could have already implemented varying constants that change patch by patch or month by month that negate all of my concerns.

An interesting thing to note is that the current MMR system where players are matched with players with equal MMR, avoiding games with huge variance has possibly interesting implications. Imagine a scenario where a bunch of players of perfectly equal skill are dumped in a separate pool for matchmaking using Valve’s current matchmaking. Say we give them all an initial matchmaking rank of 4k. As the teams are perfectly even as all the players are even, it can be expected that the winners are all random. This means that as more games are played, due to the natural amount of variance, it can be expected that these players would all shift to a increasingly wider range of MMRs despite having equal skill. There is no equilibrating force in this case as there are no games played where the teams have large differing MMR points, disallowing players far from the mean to take advantage of their obscenely low/high MMRs to get back to the mean. In reality however, a equilibrating force exists in the direct relationship between MMR and player skill.

In the end, higher players increasing their MMRs over time was probably just a slow stabilization process as the higher MMR slowly adjusted to their real values.

Guia: Como jugar con Warlock DOTA 2

Al invocar a su gólem demoníaco, Warlock trae la ruina a los enemigos y destruye sus defensas. Incluso sin su gólem, sus oscuros hechizos aún son capaces de causar estragos, ya sea curando a los aliados y dañando a los enemigos con una palabra o atando a sus enemigos para que compartan su agonía. Golem de warlock dota 2

Como conservador jefe y director de adquisiciones para los Archivos Arcanos de la Academia Ultimyr, Demnok Lannik era incansable en su búsqueda de tomos perdidos, poco comunes y prohibidos. Ningún templo maldito era tan inquietante ni ninguna caverna era tan peligrosa como para que la más mínima preocupación por su propia supervivencia pudiera disuadirle de entrar si los rumores indicaban que algún pergamino de sabiduría ancestral podía encontrarse aún en sus profundidades. Sin embargo, sus investigaciones solían despertar bastante a menudo la ira de entes guardianes, por lo que vio necesario dominar el arte de la magia. Golem de warlock dota 2 Se dedicó a aprender hechicería con el mismo ímpetu meticuloso que lo había caracterizado en su búsqueda de incunables, convirtiéndose en el mejor Hechicero (Warlock) de la Academia en menos tiempo del que la mayoría de practicantes necesitaban para completar un curso básico. Mientras estaba en ello, talló un bastón de madera sombría e imbuyó en él a un espíritu cautivo de los Infiernos Exteriores. Además, anticipándose al día en el que haya recopilado hasta el último tomo de magia perdido, ha comenzado a escribir su propio Grimorio Oscuro. Sin duda, será muy instructivo.

Pudge dota 2 model for warcraft 3

A History Of Pudge, The Butcher, Now Winning Games At An Unprecedented Rate

Pudge is by far today’s most popular Dota hero, whose origins can be traced back to more than 20 years ago to Diablo 1, an ARPG by Blizzard. Many of Dota’s heroes in Warcraft’s days also borrowed their character design and lore from other Blizzard franchise—it’s no surprise that the iconic Alleria (Windrunner) and Illidan (Anti-Mage) also migrated their popularity into the Dota franchise. Pudge’s popularity has also still persisted to this day. While fan favorites like Invoker and Sniper have taken turns at the top, Pudge is the most played hero in Dota 2 of all time. This month alone, he’s being picked at a high of 46%, almost 50% more than the next popular hero, Sniper.

He was popular even before he was a viable hero, and now with his buffs patch over patch, he’s winning at a 53% clip. More games are both won and lost with a Pudge in the game than any other hero. How did it come to this?

From “The Butcher” To Abomination

This pixelated creature was once the most terrifying experience in video gaming

The Butcher was your first quest in Diablo and your first boss encounter. In a section of the game that’s about learning the mechanics and exploring the world, Blizzard, with a bold game design move—at least in the mid 90s—designed that first encounter for you to lose. The Butcher killed you in just a few whacks of his meat cleaver.

The only recourse was to run away, go deeper into the dungeon, and come back to defeat him when you became strong enough. The arching design idea was to give players freedom by allowing them to fail at the first stages of the game. The idea sounds quaint now, but this experience was part of what made Diablo the landmark ARPG of the era. Pudge dota 2 model for warcraft 3

Enter “Pudge, The Butcher” in Dota 1. His Butcher title has since been removed, for the same reasons we now have a Windranger and a Bear-like creature for Brewmaster instead of a Panda. Pudge dota 2 model for warcraft 3 Dota 1’s heroes borrowed designs and lore from other Blizzard franchises, and with Warcraft 3’s Abomination character model, it was natural to import The Butcher from Diablo 1. Unlike The Butcher, the Abomination’s character model was more flesh golem than humanoid, now undead and donning multiple limbs. He still had the cleaver and meat hook.

Dota 2’s version became an amalgam of the hero’s past. He lost his extra limbs but was still undead, disemboweled, and rotting. Though he was no longer The Butcher, he still had the cleaver, meat hook, and apron. Everyone could put the pieces together.

Your Favorite Player’s Favorite Hero

Dendi surprises the audience at the TI all-star event

Dendi is the most popular pro player on our website, and it’s not dependent on the success of his team. He’s one of the few veterans from Dota 1 who is still playing at a high level today. And just as how legends have their signature heroes associated to them—Burning and Anti-Mage, Ferrari_430 and Templar Assassin—Dendi has Pudge.

It’s certainly an odd pairing, as Pudge was nowhere near as strong as he is today. He had obvious weaknesses, but the few things he was good at, Dendi and Na’Vi were able to extract the most out of more than any other team.

The infamous fountain hook strategy that pulled Na’Vi to a comeback victory against Tongfu in The International 2013

Because of Pudge’s weaknesses in previous metas, Dendi playing Pudge felt more like a selfless ode to Dota fans. He was willing to risk his team’s chances to win for the sake of entertaining the crowd. It could have been seen as disrespectful of opposing teams to do so, except Dendi found success with the hero. If Pudge wasn’t already a popular hero enough in pubs, Dendi was trolling teams on the big stage and winning at the same time.

A History Of Buffs

Pudge getting his Meat Hook nerfed (from 110/120/130/140 mana cost to 140 at all levels) in 7.07d was a rare occurrence. Aside from changes in 7.02 (285 to 280 movespeed) and 7.03 (Meat Hook speed nerf), he’s been getting buffs since patch 6.83, nearly 3 years ago.

Dismember was retooled over and over. 6.86 rescaled its damage and added healing, 6.88 lowered its cooldown, 6.88b increased its damage, and 7.07 nudged its duration higher and added a pull effect. Rot’s slow jumped from 20% to 30% over the same period.

Patch 7.07 also added another wrinkle to Pudge’s abilities that made him more viable in today’s meta: the ability to use Meat Hook to pull runes. Pudge players already had an advantage in the river, where Runes become attractive bait for enemy heroes. But now they also have a low-risk option to nab runes for themselves, then having the mana cost refunded as well.

Overtime, Pudge’s disadvantages have been mitigated. His weaknesses are now offset by buffs to his base health regen and Strength as a stat. Flesh Heap, now also with its own level 25 talent, became stronger when Strength gained status resistance perks. In the hero’s history, Pudge was popular even though he had clear disadvantages. He had unique mechanics and was fun to play. And now that he’s also winning more games than ever, he’s a menace to play against.

The new heroes started their journey pretty underpowered, not even reaching 45% win rate in their opening days. Players getting acquainted with their skill set and some balance changes have finally made heroes playable in high level pubs and also made it possible to start discussing them, since it is unlikely they will be receiving anything but some minor number tweaks in the nearest future.

The Reach beta has concluded and the team is now working hard towards the Season 1 launch. Here we share some of the details on the upcoming Season, and what players can expect when they log in to play.

The new patch is wild, with all the positive and maybe some negative connotations this word implies. As such, we are trying to be extremely cautious when discussing it so that we don’t unnecessarily invoke some misguided disenchantment from the community.

62 new items are available for finding, not purchasing. You can now build your inventory through jungling and not spending your gold. Is this good? Bad? Who knows, it’s too early to tell.

The Reach Beta has been a valuable month for us at Elo. The feedback from our community has allowed us to make considerable progress in refining the key automated systems of the platform and we couldn’t possibly be more excited to see people begin to play in Season One.

This is going to be less of a stats recap and more of a farewell to a patch, which overstayed its welcome for at least a couple of months. Instead of going over the same heroes once more, we felt it is more appropriate to highlight some of the heroes which were outside of the meta at the tournament’s start, but nevertheless had a great impact in the later stages of MDL Chengdu.

Bounty runes, come back gold, ancient creeps, camps stacking, and more. The economy of Dota keeps growing and growing but how does that affect supports and cores?

We’ve done a lot of testing with our current systems in the Reach league and are finally confident in opening it up to more users. Divine level players may now participate in Reach, effective immediately.

The first major tournament of the season is finally happening. Get up to date with all the teams participating, their odds of winning it all, and more!

Patch 7.22 is certainly overstaying its welcome and it clearly shows in the current professional tournaments. There are almost no new meta developments and for the most part the Summit 11 concentrated on the same exact heroes as the tournaments prior.

Captains and drafters are some of the most revered pros in the scene. The genius drafting strategies and counter picks can win the game before the first bounty runes spawn. Here are some draft ideas to try out for your next battle cup tournament.

Reach had an exciting and informative first week of games, with over 1000 matches played, and over 1200 unique players participating. Here’s the rundown on week 1, and what’s coming down the pipeline.

The idea of a tanky frontline hero in the offlane has been repeated over and over again for the last several months. It makes sense on the professional scene, while working incredibly well in pubs. Building survivability items and allowing yourself to be initiated on has become the go to strategy for a lot of teams and it is unlikely to change until after the new patch is released.

MMR may just be a number but a higher number is superior. Read this article to learn a few tips and tricks on growing your MMR number.

The current meta has been established for a long time but teams still must find their slight edge. At ESL One Hamburg 2019, we saw more of what we’ve been seeing for a few months now.

Dota 2 blog update services

Dota 2 blog update services

A comprehensive matchmaking system is an important factor in being able to enjoy playing Dota, regardless of which hero or role you prefer. Today’s update includes some engineering changes to the core matchmaking system to allow for bigger changes and better analytical capabilities. Over the next year, we’ll be spending more time focusing on various aspects of matchmaking such as intra-team balance, player conduct, new player experience, abusive behaviors, account buying, friend and teamplay aspects, high mmr matchmaking dynamics, and other issues in an effort to make the overall experience of playing Dota more fun for players of all levels. In this blog post we decided to drill deeper into the changes in today’s update and explain our thoughts.

Matchmaking involves various tradeoffs and our goal is to find the best balance between all the different factors. In order to help make progress on finding the right set of tradeoffs, today’s update includes a couple different experimental changes that will last until the end of the season. Close to the end of the season we’ll do a direct call for feedback on how the changes have worked out and use that feedback, along with data we are gathering in the meantime, to help inform the direction for the next season. We’ll also be working towards other features, such as better detection of smurfing and other abusive behaviors as the year progresses.

The first of these experiments is removing the concept of separate Solo and Party MMRs. We expect this to be the most controversial component in today’s update, as we’ve heard fair criticisms of it in the past. We can’t say that we are fully confident that this will end up being a good change either, so we’ll want to wait until the end of the season when we gather feedback and data on how it has played out after players have had a chance to absorb it. There are two major aspects with this change: 1) the teamplay and social aspect and 2) the value and correctness of the MMR value.

For the teamplay aspect: We think it is really crucial for you to not have a disincentive to play with your friends. The game currently overly emphasizes playing solo and establishes a strong social reward mechanism for this, which causes many players to prefer playing alone than with friends. We believe that bias has over time caused more negativity and unhappiness when playing Dota. Dota 2 blog update services Furthermore, Dota is a very teamplay heavy game and we want to consider that aspect a bit more strongly in the hierarchy of matchmaking values. We’ve considered other approaches to the friend and teamplay incentives, but they tended to do a poor job at making it feel actually rewarding to play with friends and only papered over the issue.

For the correctness of the MMR aspect: We recognize that there is a tradeoff here on the mmr data quality if the match has solo mmr numbers with party mmr numbers, however we feel that the impact of that data noise is much smaller than even we initially considered it to be early on and generally with how it is discussed online. Most of the issues related to this we think we can solve with better algorithms. Another common case is playing with a friend who has a higher mmr than you, expecting that it will cause your mmr to go higher. While that has been at least partly true in previous matchmaking system iterations, our most recent version does a fairly good job of addressing this. We have enough data to form matches that cause you to have an even chance to win by carefully choosing the opponents that have a similar makeup. At a base level, we think mathematically we are able to have high confidence that playing with a friend will not have a material effect on your average mmr value with a properly balanced matchmaker. We’ve done some testing to make sure this is true in advance of this update, however we know it’s likely there is more work to be done here and we’ll continue working on this aspect in the background during this experimental period.

Through our investigation into the topic of matchmaking volatility and how parties affect the game, we’ve noticed something that fans likely already know: players have very different comfort levels when playing core roles versus support roles. Some players perform really poorly when they play a role they are not used to, and in turn introduce a lot of volatility in the system for everyone by causing your MMR number to drift away from your actual skill level as well as causing imbalanced games.

So because of that, and because of our abiding love of having multiple MMR numbers, we are adding a new concept of Core and Support MMR numbers. In order to achieve this, we need to know what role you want to play in advance of the match being formed. So for this experimental update, we are moving the Ranked Roles feature to the base Ranked matchmaking and expanding on its capabilities. Now when you matchmake, you will have the option of selecting roles from position 1 through 5 (Safe Lane Core through Hard Support), including multiple selections. So if you like playing Mid or Offlane, you can select those two, or if you like playing Hard Support and Mid, you’ll be able to do that as well. You will be matched based on either your Core or Support MMR.

Each MMR type will also have its own leaderboard, and for the purposes of this short experimental period the existing rank will be applied as the initial rank for both Core and Support. If we end up keeping this feature in the future, there will be a separate calibration phase for each one.

These experimental changes will remain active for the rest of this season for you to try out. Sometime after The International concludes, we’ll issue a call for community feedback to help guide the next steps in our efforts to increase matchmaking quality for everyone. We hope to have your support and patience through this experiment as well as subsequent changes towards the path of making a better overall matchmaking system.

While we were initially going to release this change as part of the Summer Scrub update, the amount of significant underlying code changes required for this update introduces a lot of potential instability. So we are splitting the Summer Scrub update into two parts, this first part for a matchmaking rework, and the second part soon after for bug fixes and a few quality of life additions. We are expecting that we’ll have a lot of matchmaking related bugs to work through today, so please let us know if you run into any issues and make sure to include the matchid in your reports.

Dota 2 sven rampage san antonio

Sven, the Rogue Knight, is a versatile melee strength hero with superior physical power coupled with powerful utility abilities. He can fulfill various roles, but is often played as a semi-carry due to his high utility even without items. He possesses a versatile arsenal, from Warcry, which hastens allies and shields them from attacks, to the throwable Storm Hammer that stuns enemies around the targeted unit. With enough items, Sven has the potential to be a strong late-game carry due to his ultimate, which increases his damage, making him hit up to three times as hard, which can then be used in conjunction with his Great Cleave to secure multiple kills with just a few swings of his sword. This immense power granted to him solely by his ultimate makes him one of strongest late-game carries in the game, and arguably the strongest semi-carry of all, as his killing presence remains even if he decides to build more supportive and tanky utility items. A truly frightening enemy to go up against if farmed, strong and versatile, Sven is a solid addition to almost every team composition.

What is TrueSight?

TrueSight is a match analysis platform for Dota 2. After your Dota 2 match completes, TrueSight automatically downloads the replay file and goes to work gathering detailed statistics far beyond what is normally available. Matches that have been analyzed with TrueSight have new tabs filled with additional statistics designed to help you get the most out of each match.

Why is this useful?

The statistics and comparative views that TrueSight provides are designed to take the grunt work out of match analysis. Instead of downloading and queueing up the replay for your last match, simply navigate to the match page on Dotabuff. New page tabs such as “Kills”, “Farm” and “Vision” show you a detailed summary of what happened. Additionally, each match has a detailed event log to help identify important events.

Who is this for?

TrueSight was developed to satisfy the needs of hardcore players who review their matches, or players who don’t review their matches due to a lack of time or energy. With TrueSight you can quickly understand what happened, identify areas for improvement and move on to your next match. It also provides a great way for friends or other community members to give feedback on your matches without needing to download the replay for themselves.

How can I have my matches analyzed with TrueSight?

TrueSight automatically analyzes all tournament (Esports) matches, matches with one or more verified players and matches with one or more Plus subscribers. TrueSight analysis is publicly available for all tournament matches. Dotabuff Plus is required for analysis of your personal matches.

How long does it take for TrueSight to analyze a match?

TrueSight automatically begins downloading and analyzing your matches as soon as they are played. Because it uses both the Dota 2 API and Dota 2 replay servers, match analysis is subject to their availability. Normally match analysis should only take a few minutes. It could take longer if the Dota 2 network is experiencing difficulties.

Why can’t you analyze my personal matches without Plus?

We’ve made great efforts to make TrueSight both incredibly detailed and accurate. As a side effect, it uses a lot of computing and storage resources. Parsing all Dota 2 matches (there are sometimes thousands per minute) simply isn’t possible at this time. We currently have plans to add great public features based on the data from Truesight, such as new categories of detailed aggregate statistics. Plus subscribers don’t only help support Dotabuff, but will also be helping the community by providing anonymous data used for these advanced statistics.
