Hmmmm I'm seeing a lot of dotabuff players lose a lot of MMR lately, why? in General Discussion
Bad Intentions

    I see a couple of people losing lots of MMR lately, not sure whats happening? Are the general population starting to catch up? or complacency? Any other possible reasons why?

      Frustration with MMR goals, increasing influx of player who just don't give a damn and play to throw, meta changes where people cannot change etc.

              qxz, whats your solo mmr atm?

              standin.Wick

                people are more prone to making complaint posts about losing mmr...

                reality is some people are losing some are gaining, you just hear about one of them more

                riwu

                  all the reasons u guys gave apply to to both ur own team and oppo team so why would that affect the win rate?
                  if your hypothesis about only dotabuff players losing mmr is true, then there must be factors that only affect dotabuff players in work

                    jst fucking have someone first pick clock and then pick sniper with 2nd pick

                    literally 100% winrate

                      because we are not the kind of people that take troll and shit like that

                      Born

                        me personally, im just finding it hard to give a damn about mmr atm.
                        at first it was like just get 6k, then just crack leaderboard, then just get in top 100 etc etc.

                        at some point it becomes irrelevant because milestones are not that actually rewarding, if at all.

                        I'm actually enjoying some other games more than dota atm.

                        BenaoLifedancer

                          well i can actually say the same...i'm not even interested in the game, the music is louder and i always have pdf's of stuff i need to read/understand opened.

                          Seoulmate

                            I have to agree with Benao on this one. I've really stopped caring about Dota.

                              >pub >mmr matters >pub scene not ama/pro scene >ok

                              I feel you guys tho. When players don't play to win or always try their best or are toxic LoL shits. >Game is hard.

                                i pretty almost gave up and accepted my fate as 3.6k trash and started picking shitty heroes like pudge for ranked
                                surprisingly, it was not that much different from tryharding, and now instead of me trying to adapt to my teammates, they had to adapt to me, that felt good

                                the realm's delight

                                  who are those players

                                  Vaikiss`742.

                                    Why ?

                                    becouse pubtrashes dont realise that mmr means nothing

                                    pubs are pubs no matter how high ur mmr is u will still be trash pubber better invest that time making team and practicing so u might actually achieve something more than few pixels on ur profile

                                    also expecting other people to play "good" what if i just want to troll around today or this game

                                    what if im lagging or whatnot shit happens and being bitchez and crying about it not gonna change anything

                                    Trodlabundin

                                      I think it's because I smash 5400's, they drop to 5k flat and get matched with dotabuffers, and since they are actually 5400 and not 5000 they obviously have an advantage as their mmr is deflated.

                                      Yep, that's why.

                                      Oh, and again.... Who are those players?

                                      Vaikiss`742.

                                        do u honestly think theres difference between 5k and 5.4k ?

                                        TripleSteal-

                                          there is some difference on average, obviously, but its not that easy to notice it

                                          Vaikiss`742.

                                            so ur telling me that those people that one day are 5.9k and other day 5.2k in 1 day became so much worse at the game ?

                                            considering mmr is measure of the skill

                                            also what about all those 6k+ players that i stomp on my 4.8k smurf how can they get raped by 1.2k lower person ?

                                            Trodlabundin

                                              are you stupid or are you just trolling?

                                              It's all about consistency. If you can stay at a certain rating without dropping.
                                              Whats your mains mmr?

                                                    Valve must shut down servers for upcoming summer holidays in schools. Game is unplayable with so many kids around anyway.

                                                    hi

                                                      kids shouldnt be allowed to play dota
                                                      or we should cage them all

                                                      TripleSteal-

                                                        i dont see many kids in my games, at least ranked ones
                                                        neither girls btw

                                                            atleast by redit demographics theres 9 guys to 1 girl

                                                            in like 140k ppls who participated in survey

                                                              probably see these threads due to people having unrealistic winrate expectations and being genuinely surprised when the reality is different

                                                              Moon

                                                                I've lost 700 ELO in a matter of couple days. Overall toxic players or guys who don't know how to use their mouse.

                                                                  Hopeless

                                                                    Vaikiss`742.

                                                                      if this was 1v1 game then i would be reswponsible for any losses

                                                                      but since its team game its team majority of time which makes sense alot

                                                                      Vertoxity

                                                                        But you guys belive me, so no problem.

                                                                        Ofc, I was Shadow Thrash and just won mid against Dendi.
