    Kinda rigged matchmaking and they are solo queue.

            Ancients playing in normal skill are the best thing to have on the enemy team ...never lose against one always lose when they are on my team

                  tags are just the highest tier they've achieved. in that case, they are almost certainly down in mmr from their peak. that or they were boosted accounts being played by idiots.

                    It's only account buyers who've lost a bunch of MMR. When you lose MMR your medal doesn't go down

                      I wonder if I am the ancient 5 that you are seeing.

                      I'm not an account buyer, but my lifestyle has changed. As my life has progressed and I enrolled in college full-time as well as working full-time occasionally, this has led to me playing only 60 hours of dota in 2017 because I am so busy. I was 5k in 2015, but now I am a 3.4k Ancient 5.

                      Shit happens, stop calling people account buyers just because you're jealous that they've achieved a higher skill than you can ever hope to achieve.

                      Secondly, don't worry about people's ranks. Get better and stop making excuses for yourself, nothing is unfair, that's only your excuse.

                        idk 3 games ago i had a rank 1700 player in a "high skill" game. its probably just some dude with high solo rank and low party.

                          Yep... medals are just variables.

                            I just calibrated this account at 3750 ancient 3. I didn't play any party mmr games.
